2.2 Update Won't Blank Screen in Call Mode

I just updated my Gen1 iPhone to 2.2 and have found that the screen will not blank properly when in a call. This is causing my face to press buttons on the call screen including muting and ending calls by accident. The top button used to blank the screen but now it seems it went back to ending calls instead. This is really frustrating! Is anyone else having this issue??

I think I found a solution to this. I was using a vinyl sticker as a screen protector and apparently sometimes these stickers can interfere with the sensors that turn off the screen when on a call. Try removing any stickers and give it another shot.

Hi ausrius517,
Sorry to hear you are having a problem with your device.
Have you tried performing the following resets to see if it will solve your issue:
Soft Reset - this will not delete and data off your device.
Enter *#7780# into your phone's keypad and when prompted, enter 12345 (default code)
If there are not too much data on your device and you have made a backup, you can go for the hard reset option below.
Hard Reset - this will wipe all data off your device, so a backup is recommeded before doing this.
Enter *#7370# into your phone's keypad and when prompted, enter 12345 (default code)

Power on/off your laptop. If the laptop does the same then you have to send it back for RMA.

Lumia 800 constant blank screen during calls

hi guys,
I have a nokia lumia 800,
when im on a call the screen stays blank so i cant access any of the in call options? i dont have a screen protector on the phone, i have run the diagnostics app and the the proximity sensor is responding fine!!! so it leads me to think its a software issue? is this a common problem or am i doing something wrong?
hope you can help.
daniel

The screen gets turned off during a phone call when the proximity sensor is covered. This is done to avoid accidental touch screen actions when you are in a call.
If the screen gets turned off immediately when dialing a number or receiving a call, check that your phone does not have any object which may cause detection. There are various non-Nokia original screen protectors sold in the market which cover the proximity sensor causing blank screen issues during calls.
You can take the following steps to check the issue. If the screen keeps turned off, the protector may not be of the right size and will block the sensor on the upper part of the front side. Then either remove the protector or cut off the plastic from the blocking area.
Make or receive a call with the phone.
Once the phone is in a call place your hand 1cm above the screen and display will turn off.
Remove your hand and display shall turn back on.
Repeat the test steps 1,2,3 for 3 times to verify the proximity sensor function.

Now using the Lumia 1520

Lumia 930 blank screen during call

My Lumia 930 screen goes blank during all calls. Iti is black whether the phone is next to my ear or not. In practice I cannot end a call or do anything else cause the screen keyboard is not available.
My son has a Lumia 920 which had very much the same problem but it was somehow fixed when the device was at Nokia service last year because of some camera problems. No idea still about the root cause of that case either.
Any idea how to fix my blank screen problem?

I have the exact same issue with my brand new Lumia 930 - the screen goes black (a bit randomly) when talking on the phone. I used a trick decribed in a post with the same issue on a 920, which is to firmly wipe just above the N in Nokia in the top right corner on the phone (where the sensors are) which helps. However, it is not really fixing the problem.
Is there anybody knowing another solution but to return the phone, which feels a bit cumbersome to say the least?
Thanks,
Erik

Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by:
Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD:
Boot From The Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions

2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed.

Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

MacBook Pro running updates won't startup, even in Safe Mode

I ran some software updates on my MacBook Pro running Lion and when it restarts it has a striped screen and says 'You need to restart your computer.' It won't even allow me to restart in Safe Mode. Any ideas?

Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

Having issues with 13" MacBook Pro. Running very slow and blank screen and sleep mode.

Bought my MBPro summer 2009. About a month / 6 weeks ago it began to run extremely slow at points. Now it is running poorly and getting very slow on a daily basis, to the point where it will not open applications, documents or even web pages for in excess of 5 minutes. I'm beginning to lose patience!
Also at the exact same time of these performance issues occuring, my MacBook Pro will not awaken from sleep mode when the lid is closed. Showing a blank dark screen and having to hard reset in order to boot up my system again and get it running.
What is the best solution in order to resolve these issues?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Did you run Disk Utility>First Aid? If so what were the results? This is a copy of mine, note that the bottom line says: The partition map appears to be OK:
Ciao.

X301 problems after installing driver updates - won't come out of sleep mode

We have a new X301 with Vista 32 installed. Things were working fine until I ran system update the other day. I've set the power options so not shutdown hibernate, however, after a period of time the system seems to go to sleep or to a screen saver and will not come out of whatever state it is in. The only solution is to power off/on the system.
I have an X500 where there were display driver problems if there was an external monitor (dual monitor) attached. The only thing I can think of is that either there is some similar issue with the X301 since we have an external monitor attached or there is something that was messed up with the drivers that were installed. I do have (for now) restore points before these drivers were installed but I'm not ready to take that drastic step yet (or a full system restore and start over).
Anyone experience this type of issue or have any suggestions?
Thanks
Neil

Sadly, I had the issue resurface today. It went into standby/sleep mode while I was in a meeting (on battery power), and later I tried to wake it, and all I got was a black screen with a mouse cursor.
The keyboard brightness and volume keys on the keyboard were responsive (I could hear the audio level clicks as I changed it), but the visual overlay didn't show (where it shows the white speaker graphic with the bar of rectangles representing volume level). Also, the screen brightness keys did nothing.
I finally used Ctrl + Cmd + Power to force a restart. Luckily, my user account didn't get completely hosed like it did a couple weeks ago.
So, it looks like Migration Assistant isn't the culprit here. This is the system I just finished rebuilding. So it's either a bug in OS X/Mavericks, or it's due to an application I have running, or a configuration change I've made.
It seems to only happen when I'm on battery power, for what that's worth. I don't recall it ever happening when I'm plugged in. I have Power Nap disabled while on battery power, btw.
I'm going to enable SSH access so I can try to SSH in the next time this happens. Perhaps that will provide useful diagnostic info.
Anyone have any tips or suggestions?

IPod Touch blank screen in DFU mode

Hello. I have an iPod Touch 2G with software 2.2.1. Recently, I shut it down and restarted it, but nothing appears on the screen. I tried to put it in DFU mode and iTunes can see it, but I do not want to restore everything. I would be devastated. Please help! Thanks!

Yep it looks like you'll probably have to do a restore. YAY! Don't worry if you've sync'ed your iPod over it will automatically back up all of your stuff and after a restore will ask you if you would like to restore from the backup. Just select your latest backup and click restore and it will be exactly how you left it after the sync is complete. So to get started just put the Pod into DFU like you did originally. You will have iTunes say an iPod has been detected in recovery mode... blah blah blah so just hit ok. Next you will see the restore button in the iTunes window. Hold down the option key and click on restore (Shift+click if you're on Windows). You will be presented with a drop down window. In there navigate to...
/Users/"YOUR ACCOUNT"/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
In there you should see iPod2,13.1.2_7D11Restore.ipsw if your on 3.1.2 and it is a 2nd gen touch
OR
iPod1,13.1.2....ipsw if your on 3.1.2 and it is a 1st gen touch
Select the appropriate firmware file and hit choose.
It'll say extracting and do the normal stuff.
When that is over. You will be presented with the iPod setup page and it will ask to setup as a new iPod or restore from backup. This is where you click restore from backup and select the LATEST backup you have (It'll come up in a window with all the backups that have been performed). The iPod will sync for a while depending on how much stuff you had on it. YES THIS INCLUDES EMAILS, SITES, APPS, MUSIC and all the other stuff. So it'll pretty much be exactly how you left it.

Iphone 3g blank screen during calls

I bought a 3g last week to replace an original iphone that had stopped working. Everything seemed to work on the new phone except that during calls the screen would go blank and I could not get it back by holding it away from my ear, hitting the Home button, or anything else except the on/off button at the top, which ended the call. I was on the phone with apple tech support for several hours, trying all sorts of things that didn't solve the problem.
Then my grandson came home and looked at my phone. He surmised that the case, which I had transferred from my original iphone, was blocking the sensors. This turned out to be correct. If I push the phone slightly out of the case when on a call, the screen works just fine.
I decided to post this in case some one else runs into the same problem.

As soon as you said that the screen didn't come on, my first question was going to be are you using the original iPhone case? The proximity sensors on the 3G are positioned a little differently than the original phone.

Iphone blank screen during call

I have developed a problem with my iphone over the last few weeks. When I make a phone call the screen blanks out as expected during the call however if I take the phone away from ear to end the call/use keypad etc the screen will not come back? Is anyone lse is experienceing this issue? is there a way to fix it?

Remove the case from your iphone and see if that resolves the issue.
Your case is likely blocking the sensor.
