Voice calls in Whatsapp are problematic. However, there is a solution... video calls in Whatsapp (image and sound) are excellent! Try it.My problem are calls in apps (like Whatsapp). Others can only hear me if I use it in Speakerphone mode (aka hands-free).
Last not least: As long as I stay with ROM 4.2 - is there anything that can be done to fix the mic issue with Whatsapp in telephone mode (other than using headset, speakerphone etc.)?
As expected, "Proximity Reset/Repair" doesn't change the problem. Videocalls are an option if you are the caller, but not if you receive a call...I am also using Proximity Sensor Reset/Repair by Mobile Direction.

You should read the comments on the 4pda.ru forum. It seems that Luckas 4.4 has other issues too. Some users report a slowdown after a few weeks. Regarding Luckas 5.1 there have been mentions of successful steps and some obstacles. A test version is not yet available.As expected, "Proximity Reset/Repair" doesn't change the problem.

Yurim, maybe you can tell me which is the best 4.4 ROM from luckas? As far as I remember everything was functional except the camera (which needed to be restarted manually). For everyday use I prefer to have a camera with issues rather than malworking calls.
This "screen off, mic off" issue is such a pity, as the phone itself is of excellent make and has a really good finish. Is there really no other way on a rooted phone to stop the proximity sensor from switching off the microphone? I tried the trick with setting the threshold to max values, but thats no good solution, as the screen keeps activated, and thus if you touch the screen with ear, cheek or other part of the skin you will initiate unwanted action.

My problems with normal phone calls has been solved entirely by the Proximity Sensor Repair app. .
Dear Yurim, unfortunately I can't read russian language, and even using google translator big parts of the text stay a riddle for me. Obviously I'll have to wait if Luckas can do a working 5.1 ROM...
Normal phone calls: Must admit, that I didn't try it so far. Currently I'm on the latest pogodancer version (November 2015). What about calls in Whatsapp or Facebook - do they work for you as soon as the screen turns off?
Thanks for suggesting "Proximity Service". I know the app, already tried a bunch of different ones. Unfortunately till now I didn't find a working one to solve the Whatsapp-ProblemP
I will try another Proximity Sensor fix on WhatsApp and Facebook.

This is not a specific bug with Takee 1's stock rom. There are many smartphone brands with Proximity Sensor bugs on VoIP calls. I am glad to have found a solution for GSM calls.Thanks for suggesting "Proximity Service". I know the app, already tried a bunch of different ones.

Have you tried this suggestion by @Maxmydishe ?Currently I'm on the latest pogodancer version (November 2015).
As for me, the best update for now is 20151109. And the BOOT from 20151010 flashed upon it with SP Flash Tool. Almost everyting works fine.
Try to update with OTA and then use this boot.

Yes, I'm sure.I didn't know that and haven't heard it before. Are you sure?
Changing the boot file solves (as I understood it) the problem with the Toc-Toc Sound in regular calls. Can't try it, as the file in the link isn't available any longer (link is dead).
Tried the older boot file together with newer ROM now, did a factory reset and cache wipe, but the problem with Whatsapp-Calls persists. Any news on custom ROMs yet?Hopefully, you can get the boot.img file from Pogodancer's version of the 20151010 ROM.

1. Too optimistic.
