Hi,

In my Nexus 4, the proximity sensor is not working. Whenever I attend/make a call, the screen blacks out. I am currently using the power button to end calls.

Is there any app available to keep the screen always on, when attending calls.
 
That's there for a reason. Otherwise when you press it to your ear, your cheek might inadvertently end the call or push other buttons. It's designed to black out the screen when pressed to your ear, then if taken away it lights up again. If the screen blacks out when you aren't holding the phone to your ear, that means something is covering the sensor, at least partially. Like an ill fitting case, or a badly designed cellphone screen protector.
