[shankykukreja]

Good Monring,

I purchased the phone on 10th August and it has started created numberous problems, have done reset as well, stil issue not sorted,

Firstly its too slow after the update to lolipop version.

Secondly if i open contact and dial to make a call, the screen starts blinking vigrously.

Thirdly and recently just from yesterday, if i make a call and put it on my ear, the screen goes black and after i put it off my ear to disconnect the screen won't turn up, until the other end discoonects the call.

Please help , i feel cheated as its a new phone with so many issues now.

Hi @shankykukreja, welcome to the comunity!

I advise running a software repair on the handset as this will remove & reinstall the latest operating system which is very likely to smoothen out the operating system with you and fix any software issues. In regards to the screen not turning on while on a call - this is the proximity sensor acting as it should so that you don't acccidentally hang up or press any buttons while the phones pressed to your ear. The screen should light up again if you hold the handset about an arms length away. If you have a screen protector or case on the screen then take it off and test it out again if the screen still doesn't come on after holding it an arms length away. 

To do a software repair you just need access to a computer with an internet connection.
You will need to download either PC Companion or Bridge for Mac.

Note: a software repair will delete all user data, to back up your phone using PC Companion:
1. Go to Support to install PC Companion on a Windows computer.
2. When installed, start PC Companion on the computer.
3. Connect your phone to the computer using a USB cable.

(Exactly what contents will be backed up may differ depending on phone model.
You can view detailed information about this as you follow the steps in the Backup & Restore wizard).
