Proximity Sensor Not Working on Brand new Z2

Hi,

The Proximity sensor is not working on my new Xperia Z2. I have ran all the tests on the phone and they have failed. When Put up to the ear during a call the screen does not switch off and all the icons get pressed etc. This is VERY annoying as i cant even speak to anyone for a minute before im dialing someone else by mistake.

All Software is up to date.

SONY, What the soslution here? I will be taking it into the Sony Center here tomorrow but I dont want to be without my only buisness phone for 3-4 days.

Having same problem here.  Using diagnostic tool, proximity sensor is always on no matter how close something is to it.  I have removed the screen protector and cleaned around the sensor, but no success.  Makes it a real issue when on a call as the screen automatically turns off (since it thinks its close to me head).

Any help?
