LG chocolate touch screen goes black once I call

LG chocolate touch screen goes black once a call is made. I can't access the touch screen to enter voicemail code, choose a menu option, etc. Verizon sent me a replacement phone, and I had the same problem. Verizon just sent me a replacement battery and I have the exact same problem. It is driving me crazy!

Thousands of good vibes to anyone who can tell me how to fix this!

I had the same, or a very similar problem. What happened with mine, was the sensor on the upper right corner of the phone was getting blocked. It is supposed to sense when you have the phone next to your face and then it will darken the screen, Mine had plastic that was obstructing it. Hope this helps.

    I had a similar problem. I shut it off and turn it on again, and the problem goes away.

    Thank you! This just saved me having to buy a new phone. And this style is no longer offered at Verizon, so I was going to have to with a pull out keyboard. Thanks again!

    Genius! My son fell in the water with the phone in his pocket. We dried it out but although it vibrated and the buttons lit up, the touch screen was insensitive and display dark. I disassembled and cleaned it twice. After reading your answer I cleaned the sensor and it is working perfectly again.
