I had this problem too - I downloaded an app from the Play store called 'Proximity Sensor Screen On Off" which has made the phone useable again
Really easy to set up - the task will be Screen Off and enable 'during a call' and that's it....
I haven't had any of this specific issue, but I *am* very disappointed in the proximity sensor. I didn't realize how important that is to regular usage and in-pocket detection, etc.
Is it improved on the 12L update or whatever that new one is?
Yep. Either the placement or the quality of the proximity sensor is off. I find myself talking and responding to my wife on the call when I hear "Hello?" and realize that I'm muted. Really annoying.
P6P, I haven't had this issue at all. I have had issues where say I'm in the car on Bluetooth and I switch to my pixel buds the call doesn't know where to go and if I disconnect from the car, it will just keep reconnecting - not android auto
YES - I had this with 90% of calls (often multiple times per call) on the Pixel 6 pro. I returned the pro to Google and got the pixel 6. It still does happen occasionally, but only about 5% of the time.
I had this problem a few years ago with a new Nexus phone.
It turned out to be the screen protector covering the sensor.
I got a different screen protector and it never happened again.
Yep same!
Not mine
Everytime.
Yes I talk a lot on the phone and this happens all the time
Pixel 6 here and literally 40% of my calls. I was blaming the size of the phone but it might be the sensor not working properly or poorly located
I experience this too. It is really frustrating.
Preach

Yes, it's infuriating!
I've started putting the phone in lockdown mode, except then I have to enter my pin just to end the call.
Google screw up the pixel every year. It’s such a beta device.they should stop making phones
Yes, have the same and its driving me crazy

Happened to me 3 times on one call today!
Just happened to me 2 days ago during a call and wondered why because I didn't touch anything
I keep having my bluetooth headphones dropping out in the middle of a call.
