proximity sensor not working in software

when i bought the phone new, if i covered the proximity sensor the screen turns off, if i uncover the screen turns on, this is great when in a case, i dont have to press the power button to turn on the screen,  well it stopped working, and also stopped working when in a call and when my cheek touches the screen many things start happening.

Sony says its on for use in a call, this is rubbish, i bought this phone for use in  case and for not having to press power button all the time, sony says i am wrong?? well i used it for 8 month then it stopped working, sent phone in and came back untouched, anyone know what i am on about? any suggestions?

Are you certain that it was working like that, that it was locking the screen if you covered the proximity sensor and not that it was dimming the screen?
