Why does my iPhone screen dim when I send text messages?

Whenever I'm texting someone and I tap the voice button to use talk to text, the screen dims to black on my 5s, if my face gets close to the phone.
Also, if I put the phone up to my ear or near my face whenever I have text message convo window open, the phone beeps and dims. It starts trying to record a memo or something?
I'm jailbroken and I have never seen this happen before. Any ideas on what is going on?
Would appreciate any help! - bud

We really do not support jail broken devices as it violates the terms of this site. That said the dimming when the phone gets close to your face is a normal function via a proximity sensor to stop inadvertent button triggers

  • Why does my apple id show when i send text messages?

    Since I updated my iphone to ios 5.0.1, the person I'm texting sees that they've received a message from my apple id instead of my phone number. How do I change this so I show as the contact they have saved in their phone?

    This must be a new glitsch. Mine is doing this too and sending all messages to all of the devices on my icloud account. Very irritating. Is this recent? Mine just started two days ago.

  • Why does my iphone not alert me of a text message while the screen is locked?

    Ever since i updated my phone to iOS6, when my phone is locked it will not vibrate or ring when i recieve a text message but if my phone is unlocked it will. how do i fix this

    After I installed iOS6 my phone doesd the same thing. Personally, I don't like having my messages show up in the lock screen and with iOS5 I never had this issue. I have noticed that I don't get an alert when I leave my phone with the messages window open and the phone is in sleep mode. However, when I leave my phone on the home screen and it is in sleep mode, I do get an alert tone. More times than not, I end up leaving my phone with the messages window open. Does anyone know of a way for it to work like it did before? Thanks for the help!

  • Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can not figure out why there is NO sound when I get a text?

    Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can't not figure out why it does not make a sound, when I receive a text or typing???

    Deborah,
    The solutions on here did not work for me.   I tried.....
    I have the same problem with a BRAND NEW iPhone 5c version 7.1- no sound when a text message arrives.
    (1) I have "do not disturb" scheduled correctly.   No partial moon on the main screen near the time and battery indicator.
    (2) I have the ringer icon correct with no slash.    Yes I turned the hardward mute switch to the UP position (ie the one above the + and - buttons on the left side.   I tried messaging with the bell as shown and bell with a slash and neither work.   The mute switch is not red (switch above the + volume hardware switch)     I enabled some assistant using the Settings menu.    And I press the dot (looks like a target symbol) and go to Devices and I can see what position the bell is in....either a bell with a slash or no slash.
    (3) Yes ringtones are configured for text and other. I can hear them when I am under settings > sounds.   But they do not link with the actual hardware.
    (4) I rebooted the iPhone 5c by using the button at top, slide the red bar, then pressed it again, apple came up for a minute and it seemed to be back up.
    (5) I upgraded the IPhone 5c from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using my pc and itunes.   And the upgrade was successful but did not fix the text issue.
    (6) I do not have it in airplane mode or silent mode.
    (7) I reset all settings using Setttings > General > reset > reset all settings .  this wipes settings but not data and media.
    This is really frustrating.

  • Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

  • When I send text messages to another iphone on my wireless plan I receive the sent message to my iphone.

    When I send text messages to my wife's iphone I receive the sent message to my iphone.  Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?

    Having seperate apple ID's will fix it, but here's how to fix it without adding a new ID.
    Go to settings, messages, send and receive, be sure your number is the only one checked. If her number is checked as well you will receive your texts to her as well.

  • Is there a way to not display my name when I send text messages?

    Is my name even sent when I send text messages?  If so, is there a way to not display my name when I send text messages?  When sending a text message, I would like to only display my phone number.

    is it possible for the sender not to have my name in there contacts... and just typed my number?..
    It is possible for the recipent not to have your name for your number in their address book for your contact info, but the recipent must do that.
    So does that mean just my number will show when i send a text to the person using an android  phone?
    If the recipient does not have your name with your phone number in their address book for your contact info.
    Have you ever received a text from a phone number that is not in your address book? If so, what do you see? You should see the phone number only. The same applies for someone you are sending a text to.

  • My iPhone won't let me send text messages!

    I am able to use another sim card in the phone and it work's perfectly. i do not know what else i can do, i have called apple and my service provider, i have reset my network settings and restored it on the ipod. please help!

    Hi! I know this is much later but if anyone else has this problem I think I've found the solution, the problem is the obvious SIM Card, you may need to activate your sim card on your carriers website! I am with Orange EE and that's the verdict for me! Hope this helps P.S. I've had the same problem x

  • Is there a way to have iphone 4 blink when receiving a text message?

    I just switched over to iphone4 from a blackberry and wanted to know if there is a setting that allows the iphone to blink red or green when receiving a text message, much like the blackberry does. my phone is on silent and, without a function like this, i am unable to tell when i am receiving a text message. if there are any other things that would allow for notification as well, please let me know! also, is there a text message icon that can appear at the top of the phone, like the lock icon? thanks a lot!

  • When I send text messages to someone, they end up going to a nearby iphone instead

    I really need a bit of help with this question...
    My friend just purchased an iphone 4s and he is having real problems with the texts and things. He sends text messages and they go to other people on his contacts list (yes, he has hit the correct name!) They appear to go to nearby iphones, and even people who are not on his contact list. It is particularly bad at his work where there is more than one iphone. Anyone else had this problem//know how to fix it?? The phone has been synchronized.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hi, I'm looking for the answer to the same question. My iPhone 4S recently sent a reply sms to a lot of unintended recipients some of whom weren't even in my phone book. It also caused me a lot of problems and I haven't been able to find out why. Apple are investigating but the damage is already done and I now don't trust the phone at all.

  • I cannot use  my iPhone to make calls or send text messages after upgrading to ios 7

    I just upgraded to ios7 and I can no longer  make calls or send text messages.  The screens seem to be locking.   Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

    My wife is having the exact same issue after updating to the new iOS 8.1.1 and we've tried all the same steps even restoring the phone as a new phone. We've contacted our service provider and they've told us to go to apple to potentially "remove" her serial number from their servers to allow it to work properly on the service we have. We are desperate as purchasing a new phone right now is not an option and she desperately needs her phone for work and life.
