All of a sudden I cannot wake my phone up with the knock on feature. Also when I make a call the screen goes black and I cannot do anything. There is no notification light flickering either. Please help.

Did your phone recently update?  If so, you most likely are experiencing problems due to that.  I, and many others, can attest to that fact.  As far as the notification light goes, if you still have it activated within display settings and it still isnt working, Im not sure about that.  If you are referring to the power button light blinking while in call, that could be an issue.  My front LED doesnt blink while in call, but my rear one does.  While in call I can press the power buttton (or knock 2x) and the screen comes on.  As long as your setting for "Power button ends call" isnt set to do just that, I would look into this:  While in call put phone to ear.  If screen still doesnt come on, the proximity sensor may be at fault.  If all of the above is fine as far as settings go and problems remain, I'd call VZW but know that they will want to factory reset your device and youll need to back everything up before doing so.  If that fails to rectify the issue, they may send a replacement.

I would def get with VZW as this is a known issue.  I'm seeing the Knock On feature becoming the #1 issue with the G2 lately.

Same problem, right after update. This is VERY annoying. I remembered this happened before, and the next update fixed it. Verizon, please help.

I can imagine this is annoying for you all. I want to make  the software aware of the problem with the knock on feature since the most recent software update.

I have never had an update fix a problem.  Thats why I usually wind up with a different phone next time around with sign up.
