Bug Description

During a call, the screen gets stuck "off" if the user gets near the proximity sensor within about 1/8th second of enabling the loudspeaker function.

This seems fairly unlikely to happen during regular use, but it's probably worth fixing anyway. I'd suggest medium or low bug priority.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Start a call.
2. Ensure the front of the phone isn't near anything.
3. Tap the loudspeaker icon at the same time as waving a hand over the proximity sensor.

Expected result: One function or the other should activate, but not both. Either enable the loudspeaker and keep the screen on, or turn the screen off without the loudspeaker.

Actual result: Loudspeaker turns on and the screen turns off, then the screen gets stuck off and doesn't respond to proximity or touches. However, this can be recovered by pressing the power button (screen will turn back on without triggering the welcome/unlock screens, regardless of how long it has been off).
