Hi Pam!
First of all, thanks for commenting on the AndroidPIT message boards!
Many, MANY people have this problem with their Droid. While the phone's screen is supposed to turn off when held to the cheek....sometimes it doesn't do so.
You may have a defective sensor on your phone and that is why it's not registering when you press the speaker to your face.
To test this, try holding your finger on the sensor (not sure quite where it is on that model) and then pulling the finger away....the sensor should turn the phone on and off. If it doesn't you may have to bring the phone in and ask for a replacement. ;(
Hope this helps!
