iPhone 4 Proximity Sensor Causing Issues During Calls?
Apple's problems with the new iPhone seem to be far from over. After issues relating to screen discoloration, scratches and reception were reported last week, we are now hearing about a new issue relating to the proximity sensor on iPhone 4. According to messages posted on Apple discussion forums, the...

I'm having the same issue, I keep putting people on speaker, or trying to use Facetime while having phone near my earl

I have been having the exact problems with my iPhone 4. Most of my calls have been either put on hold or hung up. I would say this has happened 99% of the time. I had one call work correctly since I received the phone on June 23rd.
-
Call me crazy but I noticed that happening with my 3G recently. It might not be a v4 thing... it's possible its an iOS thing??
-
My god! Was everyone at apple drinking and getting drunk while making this phone. Apple need to start slashing ppl's pay. I bet so much money went into this ios and i4 but **** still keep coming out wrong.
-
Yup - same on mine as well...
Mutes all the time on me...
VERY annoying -
Instead of dispatching these early, Apple should have sent out Late with all issues sorted. I can't understand what's going on, they should remember Sony were top of the tree once, but bugged up phones like the C905 & Satio put them on the floor.
I love iPhones, but can't jusify even upgrading to ios4 from my 3.1.2 GS, nevermind the thought of spending £500 on a messed up Ip4, such a shame. And to cap it all, Jobs with his one line replies to concerned customers emails is really rubbing mr up the wrong way. -
*rubbing me up the wrong way
-
Also having trouble with the sensor, but I still love the phone, and don't think they should have been delayed unlike @CraigB.

Spoke to apple cust. serv. over the weekend bout this issue, they send me to the apple store for a phone swap. Maybe thats a problem they know cuz mine been muting, activating the speaker, dialing other numbers while i was on a call...was thinkin I was alone till I see this article.
C'mon apple iphone 4 is really making the 3gs look perfect. -
least its an simple software fix though! just needs re calibrating hopefully!
-
Yeah my iphone called my friend. And I have 3GS
-
Happens on my 3G, 3Gs, and I4... this is is an IOS issue
-
My uk iPhone 4 seems to be ok, I had the signal issue, but that's it. My proximity sensor appears to work as it should, but to be fair, I haven't made/received that many calls.
-
Im using 3gs with 4.0 and it works great.. the second i move my hand towars it it disables the screen
-
I have the same exact problem. Calls are constantly muted or disconnected by accident because the sensor is not working right
-
Same problem here. Every time i am on a call i hit the mute button with my cheek. That's a deal breaker for me. Went to the apple store this morning and they couldn't exchange then cause they were so busy. Also on my contacts screen there is no edit button. I cant change or delete contacts. Anyone else have this same problem?
-
Then put up with your unfinished product. I'd rather have waited for it to be finished and out on the Market personally.
Just my opinion :) -
I dont know what all the fuss is about, I received my Iphone 4 one day early and have yet to have a single problem with it. No reception issuues, screen issues, or anything. Works flawlessly. Very satisfied
-
i happened to me all the time... i even managed to put someone on hold by accident lol...
-
You're holding your phone the wrong way.
-
Happens to me on iPhone 4 too.
-
I have had no problems with my iPhone4 and its working beautifully!
-
Agreed!!
-
i swear if he says tht ..... im gonna destroy my fukin iphone!!!!
-
Cant say i have noticedthis prob
-
I thought it was just me but I am having the same exact issues. I look like an idiot everytime
I am on this phone and in the middle of a conversation. Mutes, puts call on hold, and calls and attempts to enter FaceTime. -
I'm having the same issues with the sensor. While on a call it goes to speaker phone every 5-10 seconds throughout a call. It sucks as the phone function is the only thing I'd really like to have working 100%.
Today I was watching a YouTube clip when my friend called. During the call he asked how I like the new iPhone. As soon as he said that my phone hung up on him and went back to playing the YouTube clip at max volume in my ear. Lol. Piece of crap. -
Problems I've experienced with my iPhone 4:
Antenna design flaw (loses 3G when held wrong)
Proximity sensor error (muted calls, opening of other applications in call, etc)
Poor Push Notification: new gmail messages only show up if I open app. Same problem with other push apps. -
It happened to me. When I was calling my mom I tried to use see something in the Internet and my screen stayed black, and i had t hard reboot to see my screen an I'm using a "old" 3GS and ios4
-
Hurr my phone works fine so obviously nobody elses phone could possibly be any different.
