When I take the phone away from ear I have to wait ~3 seconds to end a call . I also noticed that proximity sensor shuts down display when the phone it's under solar light . Can someone fix this ? It's pretty annoying .

Sadly, no-one seems to know anything about the proximity sensor.
See my thread on the exact same topic:

You may run the following command under xterminal to test the sensitivity of the proximity sensor (CTRL-C to break) to see if there's any hardware issue:

Code:
while true; do cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/proximity/state; done
'open' means nothing in front of the sensor, 'close' otherwise.

Have you test the sensor with above testing script under strong sunlight?

I tested with that script under sunlight and even bulb light , it seems to react at bulb light too .

The delay is probably in the software to prevent momentary movements while it's in e.g. your bag or pocket from unlocking the phone.
