Iphone 3gs screen sensitivity REVERSED........please help ???

I have 3gs, and for the past few weeks having some wierd issues. hope i can explain it well.
I dunno what happened but my screen sensitivity has reversed, i mean to say generally when we make calls and if the phone is next to your ear the screen turns black and unresponsive to the touch of your ear and once you finish the call and remove the phone from your ear the screen activates to end the call.
in my case this screen sensitivity have reversed, the moment i take my phone next to my ear, the screen activates and thus it becomes responsive to the touch of my ear and as a result automatically the call sometimes go to speakerphone or sometimes go on hold and what not, and as soon as i remove the phone from my ear, the screen blacks out and not showing the screen end call button. i have to end the call through the top button. after a few seconds the screen appears and acts normal for applications and internet stuff. again if i make a call it starts acting in the same reversed way..............
its very very annoying and i need some expert advice. my phone is in its original condition, never unlocked, never jailbroken, with 3.1..........please please help me........hope u all understood what i was trying to say.........

And I thought I was the only one having this strange problem. For me too the automatic screen saving is reversed! Everytime I have a call the screen is on and active right next to my ear. When I want to end a call I have to place my finger on the sensor to activate the screen as it goes black otherwise.
Same while playing the voicemail: it goes black shortly after I start the recording and only would show up with my finger placed on the sensor...
No case. Reset and recovery done. No change.
So I guess we have a hardware problem.
I will go to my local dealer next monday to let them have a look!
Cheers.

    cannot activate my viber after i update to 6.1.3 iphone 3gs..can u please help me...the the code is ok but if i activate...its being error.

    @theViberTeam .
    I'm having trouble with Viber.
    A few days ago, I accidentally uninstalled it on my IPhone 4, and reinstalled it later on..
    When I tried sending the activation code using the same cell phone number I had on Viber before It got uninstalled, I receive the code but when I try to put it in it keeps saying that I entered the wrong activation code, I click on the no code feature on the top right corner of Viber, it gives me a code, but when I put that code in it says the same thing ,that I have the wrong access code please try again, and so I researched on the internet and came up to this post, It said to uninstall viber and wait 24 hours to install it again, I waited 24hours and tried it again, but it STILL does the same thing. and... I even tried entering my other phone number, yet it does the same thing and shows me the same message that I entered the wrong access code....It is getting frustrating! May you please Help ME?! What can I do??

    The problem is your phone was illegally unlocked and jailbroken. When you upgraded it took the unlock off and now it is locked to the original carrier it was locked to. You will not be able to unlock it now.

  • IPHONE 3GS UPDATE PROBLEM! PLEASE HELP!!

    I went to update my iphone 3gs. an error popped up froze my phone and now it says i must factory reset my phone.....i do not want to clear my phone! it will not even attempt to connect to itunes without the restore! PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!

    cjkeith, you've every right to be frustrated, but now you're coming across as well, let's just say "unsmart".
    First, what on earth does paying 500.00 for a phone and thousands of dollars in other apple products have to do with anything?
    Second, do you think any of us care about your idle threat to save your money and buy a non-Apple product? 
    Third, and what makes you seem the most "unsmart" is your last statement.  We're not Apple here on this user to user technical support forum.  We're users just like you!  So your last statement is just so ridiculous.
    It's always easier to place the blame for our own misfortunes on someone else, rather than take responsibility for our own action.  As Dr. Al stated, you learned a lesson the hard way. 
    Time to move on.

  • HT201415 iphone 3GS showing no service, please help!!

    My iphone 3gs is showing "no service" tried everything please help!!!

    If doing a reset (hold the sleep/wake and home button until the Apple logo appears) doesn't correct it then try getting a new SIM from your carrier.

  • IPhone 6 screen repair question PLEASE HELP

    OK so I went to knots berry farm and while riding silver bullet my phone flew out of my pocket and hit the floor lucky this kid found it and returned it
    The screen isn't cracked too bad but most of the screen is black like inky spots unresponsive and has different color lines on it
    Any idea if apples out of warranty covers this for 109 or how much would I pay for this since its still accidental screen damage???
    Please help

    "The screen isn't cracked too bad". 
    Really?  I'd hate to see what you though a badly cracked screen looked like.  That screen is severely damaged.  Be ready to pay the full out-of-warranty cost of $299 USD + tax.  It's not uncommon to see a screen damaged that badly that also has internal damage.

  • Iphone 6 screen problem. Please Help!

  • Iphone 3gs wont turn on PLEASE HELP

    Okay so a few hours ago I tripped and fell on some wooden stairs with my iphone in my pocket. Afterwords I tried to listen to some music and it wouldn't turn on, I tried resetting it and plugging it into a charger but that didn't help. It has no cracks or dents in it and its only two months old. Is there anything else I can try before calling up apple or bringing it into them? Thanks

  • Iphone 3gs software 5.0, PLEASE HELP

    I have downloaded the software, but when I actually update it on my 3gs it says "backing up iphone" and it loads about 1mm of green and then doesnt load anymore. I have tried everything!

    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported.
    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked/modified/jailbroken to work
    with wireless carrier other than the one it was purchased from. The
    update has relocked it to the original carrier. Contact the original
    carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify - only the
    carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
    Be advised that the previous modifications to change from original carrier
    to your local Carrier may have rendered the iPhone unable to be
    officially unlocked.

  • Red dot on iphone 3GS voicemail icon. Please help!!

    Having this little red dot on my phone/voicemail icon for a couple of days indicating that i have a voice message and it's annoying.
    Anyone facing the same issue?
    Any solutions to clear off the red dot?
    I doesn't have voicemail service nor a voicemail box with my service provider.

    Icons are explained in the manual:

    I believe orientation lock is the icon you are seeing. You can check in the manual.
