This problem used to happen about once a month or so - very annoying. However, since I did the update this morning, it happens every time. I can't retrieve messages because I can't access the number pad of the touch screen. I've tried the ear proximity sensor, and it is always on, even when removed from case. The phone has not been dropped etc, and has had sustained no damage. Please help / advise.
The sensor is on the screen, on the right upper part of the device:
