proximity sensor issue c6833 4.4.4 HELP!

Im on z ultra c6833 with the latest version 4.4.4 updated 2 days ago with build number 14.4.A.0.108.
i found out that my proximity sensor does not functioning. The screen will not dim if i answered a call near to my ear. 

I try to do this after read on other threads:
1. Go to your Dialer, and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the Service Menu.
2. Go to Calibrations 
3. Go to Proximity Sensor
4. Choose "Calibration" and then "Start".

but in my case, i dont have the calibration button. 

someone please help me? is it the software or hardware issues on my z ultra. ? is there fix to my issue?

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..

Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
How to backup?

If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

Here is a trick i did for my c8633. I installed the APP called On Call Proximity. And i enabled it to lock screen on call (yes i gave permissions) and i made a call. Then i disable the option from app to lock the screen. Now it works Slightly_smiling_Face try it.
