IPhone 4 not dimming screen while on a call

I've recently restored my mom's iPhone as a new one. I then put on a Lifeproof case because my step-dad was going to use it. I've tested the Phone app to see if it works. The problem is that while you're on the call, the screen will not dim. I don't know if the Lifeproof case is causing the problem, or something else. Before I restored it, it was working fine. Please help and thanks!

Remove the case, if the proximity sensor starts working again then then issue is the case.

i have been using my ipod nano for about a year and a half and i just connected it to update it, but itunes didnt respond for a while i tried disconnecting it but it doesn't work and now its stuck in the do not disconnect screen and it is unplugged. I've tried all the buttons, reconnecting it and the hold button but it still wont respond.
What can i do?

Reset the iPod. (hold down the menu and center button). If that doesn't work, try a restore with the iPod updater.

[SOLVED] 'Dim screen while inactive' not working

I have a sony vaio with GNOME 3. I suppose when it's not on AC power the screen should dim (it's ON on the Power Manager), but I wait and the screen's brightness doesn't drop a bit... I have another laptop, acer with Fedora 20 MATE, after a short while inactive the brightness drops. Which one is the culprit here?
edit: possibly a hardware hickup. When I start the system with the AC adapter off, everything works fine.

In case anyone's interested:
i am now running gnome-shell on the big monitor, and openbox on the secondary monitor by calling the appropriate sessions from .xinitrc with the right display:
#!/bin/sh
DISPLAY=:0.0 exec openbox-session &
DISPLAY=:0.1 exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
It is important to call openbox first, otherwise gnome-shell tries to seize control over both screens (and fails to do so).
two little drops of bitterness remain:
1. I had to connect both monitors to the same device, because the one connected to the onboard chip was flickering really bad. this is probably unrelated, though.
2. I can't use gnome-shell as a login-manager (maybe in fallback-mode i could, but i don't want that), so now i am logging in from tty and then startx

Why do I get the message "iPhone Not Available" when trying to make calls from my Mac even when both devices are clearly on the same Wi-Fi network?

I am using a mid-2010 Mac Book and the iPhone 6. I can't imagine that it is due to the age of my Mac because if it was disqualified, then we would not get the option to use it to take calls.

I get the same message and stating that both the iPhone and Mac must be on the same network, which they are. I was able to call from my iPad through the iPhone on the same network I'm using for the iMac and iPhone. I've tried several settings configurations on the iPhone but to no avail.

Dim Screen While Ipod Connected

Hey, are you guys getting this wierd thing happen with the new 1.2 firmware? whenever my ipod is attached to my computer, the screen goes bright (normal) then goes to like half dim (never seen b4) instead of completly black which it usually does. is it supposed to do that? cause i dont want the screen half dim all the time cause I dont want to burn out the LCD any faster then i have to.. is there a way to make it go back to just going black after i plug it in again? thanks

Do you think my fears about shortening the screen's
life are founded; I'd like very much to be wrong
about that.
My understanding is that the backlight on these iPods are LED. LED's are known to burn non-stop for years. That is what they use in those fancy digital signs you see now days. I also have LED side marker lights on my company van and I travel a lot at night and in the evenings. My van is a 1997 model and I have YET to replace any of those LED lights. So, I just don't think you have anything to worry about by it being on as you are syncing your iPod. In fact you continue to charge it without it being connected to iTunes by simply ejecting it. When you do this the backlight goes off and it still charging.
You know I've never seen a post, though I honestly haven't search where anyone has had their backlight just burn out. I've seen post where people have smashed the LCD.
I am just going to enjoy mine and not worry about it. If Apple had concerns about this issue, I am sure they wouldn't have made this change. For the most part during the day as I am traveling my backlight is off, so the amount of time it is on even with it being on during syncing is pretty minimal if you think about it.

IPhone 6+ Dims and Brightens Randomly During Calls

When I'm on a call on speaker, with the phone just lying on a table, the screen will go from bright to dim on its own after a period of time (no surprise there -- my old 5 would do that too). But then after a few seconds, the screen will brighten back to normal again.
The interval between dim to bright seems random. It appears to have no connection with the ambient light in the room, the proximity sensor, or motion.
Anyone else notice this?

Yeah man, i've got the exact same problem and had it a few times! i've fixed it once but now can't remember what i did lol.. have you replaced the volume/headphone flex? because that makes sense... otherwise it could be the sim card? please let me know if you have any luck

When on a call my 4s keypad shows(everything shows) causing me to dial or face time when I don't want too how do I make screen go black while on a call

The screen on my 4s does not go blank while on a call causing me to accidentally dial or face time what can I do

You have a case on your iPhone? It might be blocking the proximity sensor, which is responsible for inactivating the keypad.
If you have a case on, try removing it and see if that fixes your problem.
If not, you'll need to talk to Apple about a repair or replacement.

Hi,
Verify the 3rd party class files names are correctly written in your program. Sometimes wrong case might be the reason.

Is there a setting for iphone 4 to have the screen dim to black while on a call?

is there a setting for iphone 4 to have the screen dim to black while on a call?

If you put the phone to your ear, the proximity sensor darkens the display automatically. If you are just holding the phone in your hand or something similar, the proximity sensor is not activated.

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, then when I unlock the phone it automatically redials the failed call,

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution

I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.

Ok my iphone 3g touch screen is not responding, i can recieve calls and it can charge and connect to itunes, but i cannot go any further than using the home button or the power button, but the slide feature and touch feature is non existent

ok my iphone 3g touch screen is not responding, i can recieve calls and it can charge and connect to itunes, but i cannot go any further than using the home button or the power button, it is only the slide feature and touch feature that has become non existent. Also, i have a f'ew cracks in my screen for a while now and it was running smoothly up until saturday when i sat on it applying large amounts of pressure to the phone screen. Is there a way i can fix this myself without having to recover my phone to factory settings or wasting 50 bucks to get it fixed??

HT4528 After I update my iphone 4 it will not go blank while on a phone call

Im not sure how to fix it or what is wrong, but after I updated my iphone to 5.1.1 it will not go blank while on a phone call. please let me know what I need to do to get it fixed. Thanks

If you're referring to the proximity sensor blanking the screen, and you haven't made any other changes such as a screen protector or new case, try the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B:
Restart, Reset, Restore using a backup. Restore as new.

My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI. Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name. Names appeared on the phone screen but not MMI screen. Cannot dial by contact info while driving anymore. Never had this problem with previous iPhones

My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI. Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name. When someone calls, only the number appears on the MMI screen, not their name or whether they called from their office/home etc..   Same with missed calls, dialed numbers etc.. Names appeared on the screen of the phone, but not on MMI screen. Cannot dial by searching contact and name info while driving anymore. Never had this problem with previous iPhones. Is this an Apple issue or Audi issue? Anyone with this problem? Help!

NIGHTMARE Finally Ends, after nearly two weeks.
After trying for over a week trying to get my replacement iPhone 4S to activate, I ended up driving 110+ miles to an Apple Store to get a second replacement, which had been specially shipped there for me. Popped in the SIM card, went through the setup and I finally have an iPhone 4S that works, at least for the time being.
Advice to others who find themselves in this situation:
     1)     If you get these messages (see original post), the phone is bad. Demand a replacement.
     2)     If the AppleCare tech advises that the Apple Agreement Administration team is investigating, you'll be waiting for a week or more for them to complete it. Demand a replacement immediately, don't let them put you off indefinitely.
After the initial phone call documented in my original post, I was in daily contact, phone & e-mail, with the AppleCare tech trying to figure out the problem, and we tried everything, from forced restore's to switching SIM cards, conferencing w/ AT&T, etc. It seems that this was a case of first impression to Apple, but if it wasn't, then the problem is not well documented or known by those who should know, and for that, the blame should be on Apple, not the AppleCare tech who worked tirelessly trying to figure out a solution--I'd send him a case of beer if I knew where to send it.

The screen on my iPhone 4 turned black while i was using it-it was not dropped or damaged in anyway. The phone itself is still working as it comes up in itunes when I plug the phone into my computer, but the screen is completley black. What can I do?

The screen on my iPhone has gone black while I was using it. It just "shut off". The phone is still working as I can hear/see it when it plugs into the computer, but the screen just wont turn on. I've tried the soft reset "holding down home and lock screen" and i've tried to restore settings. I went to the apple store and they said I had to send it to my provider (in another country) but my phone contract has run out.
Is there a way to fix this?
If not, is there some way apple can replace the phone? It's less than 2 years old. Surely the screen shouldn't just give out like that.
Thank you
