Screen Lights up while I'm on a call

Why does my screen light up when I'm talking on my Iphone4? I keep muting, hanging up, putting tne person I'm speaking with on hold....this is extremely annoying and makes me regret buying this phone! Why is this happening? What should I do?

I never think of myself as suffering from the proximity sensor issue but the truth is that on the odd occasion that I don't have my bumper on my phone I do sometimes mute the call with my cheek. This never ever happens with the bumper on the phone.

  • IPhone 6 screen locked up while on call

    My iPhone 6 screen locked up while I was on a call - the screen went black and all buttons/touchscreen was unresponsive. I had just upgraded to iOS 8.1 earlier this morning and placed a call. I was put on hold and wanted to hang up when I noticed my screen was black. No buttons would work, so I took it out of my case and tried again with no luck. I finally got it to shut down from holding the Home & On/Off buttons simultaneously. Anyone else have this problem?

    I had a similar problem.  I will be talking on the phone and next thing I know the screen is black & unresponsive.  The apple logo comes up and than the call continues.  I am not sure what is causing this but it has happened several times to me AND has also happened to a friend of mine.
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    iPhone 6, iOS 8.1

    Been using an Avastor HDX-800 for storage and backup, also a SUPERDISK for smaller stuff; recently the SUPERDISK does not appear on the screen, and the light blinks while you hear it spin, also the Avastor has started to have the same problem, both USB conncected, both worked well before, but both now spinning, blinking, and not showing up on the screen as before,
    Interestingly they both appear in the System Profiler, but just not working the same as before
    I have tried other USB ports, but the same responce,

    yes I did reset the PRAM, but no benefit, still the same problem
    my usb devices are:  keyboard, mouse, printer, SD-USB-M3, and LaCie d2 DVDRW:
    the mouse and printed are plugged into the keyboard: i have tried to move, these around, and have even tried just the mouse, printer and SD-USB-M3, but still the same problem

  • Curve screen goes dark while navigating

    While using Verizon Navigator, Curve 8330 screen goes dark unless I continue to hit the rollerball every few seconds. The security option allows for a 2-minute window but, at times, I will need hours of screen light. How do I correct this?

  • No screen light Nano 3rd

    No screen light Nano 3rd

    1. Make sure the Hold switch is not operated (i.e. you have it set so that the Red is not showing on the switch.
    2. Press and hold the Centre and Menu buttons at the same time, keep them pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen (this can take a while, over 10 secs, so keep them pressed).
    That should reset the iPod, if it does not work, then try step 2 again with the Hold switch in the other position.

  • Yellow screen light

    my iphone 4s has a yellow screen light,.why like that? while my friend who own 4s also has a white screen, better than mine..

    INteresting. i just got an ipad2  2 days ago. (amazing hubby surprised me!) and i guess i'd have to hold it up to another ipad to see if it's yellowish at all.
    where was light leaking from....the sides? (trying to picture it)
    as far as if it would bug me.......i'm like you and if i notice something that bugs me....then every time i used my ipad, i'd be noticing it. i'd rather not have light leakage, i'd likely just get used to the warmer tones on screen. it's probably better for your eyes anyway. they are probably doing it because it's hard to read on compared to a Kindle. that's my 2 cents.

  • Screen light dim?

    Just yesterday after adding new albums to my ipod, when turning on the screen (while playing music) the screen light was dim. I tried several times to turn off and on, sometimes it was fine, sometimes it was dim. And when it was dim it could last a second or a lot.
    Today as it keeps happening, I removed the new albums from the ipod, and tried again with the older albums and no dim light. just perfect.
    So? albums have something to do with the screen light? is a problem of the tracks? or the ipod?
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

    You know that there is an auto brightness function on your Touch, do you? On the front of the Touch, at the top left, just above the display is a small circle. This is the brightness detector. The setting for it is in *Settings/Brightness/Auto-brightness on or off.*

  • How do you prevent screen from dimming while on power adapter?

    I don't want the screen to dim while I'm connected to the power adapter. In the Energy Saver module, it is optimized for better performance, which sets the following parameters:
    -set to sleep when inactive (never)
    -put the display to sleep when computer inactive for 30 minutes
    Nevertheless, after periods of inactivity, the screen will dim (not sleep). I can't seem to stop it from doing so. Any suggestions?
    YoungTurk

    There are two things that will dim the screen - the Energy Saver and the Ambient Light Sensor.
    In the Enerygy Saver panel select "Options" and then there is a check box that you need to uncheck. Since it is one the Options screen you may have missed it.
    With respect to the Ambient Light Sensor, I think it should remember your settings once you set a brightness.

  • Is it possible to view photos on a computer screen immediately after while I'm shooting.

    Is it possible to view photos on a computer screen immediately after while I'm shooting? I have the cord to attach camera to laptop, but have not been able to view until I do a download. My camera is a Rebel XT 350D.
    Thanks Terri

    It is possible. I do it at every shoot I do that involves big groups because the bigger screen (17" laptop) shows whether everyone is in a good pose. 
    It is called "tethered capture". I use Adobe Light Room 5. Attach a USB cable, start LR and select Tethered Capture. From there it is automatic and everything the camera sees, your laptop does. This method, which may not be the only way, also saves a copy to my laptop.
    There are also powered USB cables which allow you to move the laptop up to 70 feet away. If that was needed of course but active USB cable are good for shorter distances because they are more error free and very fast.
    BTW, LR5 is a pretty nice post processing, professional level, program for the rest of your image requirements.

    THE screen light of my I phone 3Gs is not on...it always off from past few days

    Hey Arun1205,
    That definitely sounds frustrating. We'll need to isolate this issue to figure out if it is indeed hardware:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    - Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    - Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    - While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    - If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Screen lights up, music plays, but screen is blank

    I have just recently sent in my first ipod mini to the Apple repair service. They sent me a replacement ipod. The replacement worked fine for a while but is now acting up.
    The screen lights up, and the music plays just fine, but the screen is blank.
    I have tried to plug the ipod into my computer - itunes does recognize it and updates it.
    I have also tried to reset and restore the ipod, but to no avail.
    I have contacted Apple repair services again, but they want me to send in the proof of purchase...but this is the replacement ipod that they had sent me.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Just try filling out the online form...
    http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod
    If the bother to call and ask for the proof of purchase through that, then just say that it is an exchanged iPod.
    See when they say this one was purchased. Go to the link below and on the right a few scrolls down the page there is an about your apple product box. Enter your Serial Number. If it is under a year there, you need not send anything in...

  • Minor 5800XM issues - 3.5G - screen light - web ho...

    Hi folks - newbie here so please be gentle ! Have just bought a contract with Virgin Mobile (VM) in UK with a 5800XM. Have had it about a month and generally it seems pretty good, but there are handful of minor niggles that perhaps someone can help me with.
    First issue is HSDPA (aka 3.5G) - or lack of it. Before purchase I checked with VM and they said "Our network supports HSDPA, the phone will automatically switch to it". But it doesn't. Even when I have line of sight to the phone mast, and the signal indicator shows max, the screen icon remains on "3G" and won't switch to "3.5G". I have a further call in to VM to check this, but it's always possible that somewhere in the phone settings there is something that inhibits this switching to 3.5G. Does anyone know of any such setting & where it might be ?
    Second issue is the screen light. I use the music player in the car connected to the aux socket on the stereo, and I want the screen light to stay on so I can see what track's playing. I know that'll hit the battery life but that isn't a problem because it'll be plugged into the car charger. But I can't find a setting to do that - all I can do is delay the auto screen-off up to 60 secs, there seems no option to have it on permanently. Have tried disabling the auto keyguard but that doesn't affect the light. Any ideas ?
    Third, when I connect to the web, the phone automatically connects to the VM portal page which contains loads of graphics and isn't what I want. I want to over-write this with a homepage of my choice, but can't see how to do this. Have tried setting another page as "Homepage" and I get to this through the options with another couple of taps, but I want to go straight there without going through VM. Any idea how to overwrite this setting ?
    Thanks in advance

    I'd advise against changing the CCFL on your own. Chances of destroying the panel by allowing the dust specs to get in between the layers are way too high for my liking.
    Presuming this is a 15" unit, a NOS LG Philips SXGA+ IPS panel can be had for $50-60...
    Do you have the Power Manager installed? While battery life definitely suffers when one moves from XP to W7, it shouldn't be *that* drastic of a change...

  • Screen light auto turn dark when I use program/web with background dark in windows 8.1

    Hi there,
    I used HP Pavilion dv6t-6000 CTO Quad for 3 years.
    CPU: Intel core i7-2630QM
    GPU: AMD Radeon 6490m
    It build in windows 7 and I manual install ( fresh install ) windows 8. It's fine. But when I upgrade to windows 8.1, it have an issue and I really hate it.
    When I use "Sublime Text" ( with background is black ), the screen light is become darker. And when I back to ( e.g: a website with background is white ), the screen turn back to lighter.
    I tried many ways, included 4 ways here but it's NOT WORK. 
    NOTE: When I used Option 1 ( upper )
    1. Open PC settings, and click/tap on PC and devices on the left side
    2. Click/tap on Power and sleep on the left side, and turn on or off Adjust my screen brightness automatically on the right side under Brightness.
    ==> It's NOT SHOW button "Adjust my screen brightness automatically". It mean: I have NO built in auto brightness sensor.
    I think this issue is about AMD driver or Intel Graphic driver.
    Is anybody have idea???

    Hi @kolz,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a wonderful  place to find answers and solutions!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    i grasp that after updating your system from Windows 8 to 8.1 you are having an issue with the display going dim.
    You have tried some steps you located on the web but there was no change.
    Windows 8 an 8.1 are not supported Operating Systems for your notebook.  This does not mean they will not work only that HP has not tested it and therefore does not supply updated drivers.  You would need to check the manufacturer's site for any updated drivers.

    When I checked the driver page for your notebook I did notice there is a  bios update, have you done that?

    As a bios update does have a potential to cause damage I suggest contacting HP support for assistance with that process.

  • How do i retrieve data from a powerbook whose screen lights up but displays nothing? I have a firewire and a second powerbook...

    how can I retrieve data from my old powerbook? It's screen lights up, but displays only pixelated blankness. I have a second powerbook and a firewire cable....

    It would probably be correct to assume that both PowerBook computers are equipped with FireWire. The article below could possibly be of interest to you. With a bit of luck, the old computer will be recognised.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Otherwise, it may become necessary to open the old PowerBook and remove the hard drive. The drive can then be connected to an appropriate external USB adapter, and read via another Mac.
