IPhone not automatically turning off screen during calls...

ok, getting sick of this b.s. and i have tried the settings and whatever else i can find... NOTHING WORKS!
WHY!!! why when i make calls does it not turn the screen off so that i don't unintentionally mute people or accidentally put them on speaker??! w-t-f apple???
also, sometimes when it actually does fade out, it stays feded out... and i have to hit buttons or the screen to wake it back up?!??! w-t-h apple?!?!
anyone else having this problem? i tried to search the forum and can't find anything on it...
thanks

The iPhone 4's proximity sensor is just above the earpiece speaker as shown here:
If your Otterbox is covering the sensor, it won't work. Otterbox makes cases for the iPhone 3/3GS and iPhone 4. The sensors are located in different places, so a case for the 3/3GS won't work for a 4.
Take your case off and see if you still have the problem. You may have a bad sensor and need to make an appointment to have an Apple Retail Store Genius look at your phone. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

I had it checked a while ago. They said, my battery's dead so they changed it. Now, while I was using my phone, it turned black but it still vibrates and it has a little light (but still black). Please help me.

While doing the most recent firmware upgrade, my iMac hung on the spinning ball. The instructions said "not" to turn off power during the process, so I don't know what to do. The ball is still spinning.

If you tried resetting the ipod and it still keeps having the same issue you described, try setting the ipod to disk mode.
Here is an article from the apple support website on setting the ipod to disk mode.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If you can get the ipod into disk mode, connect it to the computer and rrestore the ipod using itunes.
if the ipod will not go into disk mode, you can return the ipod or set the ipod up for service via the apple ipod service depot.

Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. You may need to connect the device to the charger before you attempt the reset.

Podcasts: I want them UPDATED automatically and not automatically TURNED OFF!

Apple's remote Podcast system management on a Mac is completely backward.
The system automatically turns OFF podcast, preventing them from updating (the little ! in a circle).
But it doesn't UPDATE any podcasts.

it's really quite odd that no-one has been able to come up with a response to this!
Podcasts have never worked very well for me, and even with the new app, they seem to be as naff as ever when it comes to file management!

8120 turning off randomly during call

Got new 8120 from Orange UK - works great apart from randomly turning itself off - have read posts with similar problem but on my phone the problem only occurs during calls with annoying frequency ! Tried wiping phone and re-installing OS but didn't work. Any advice greatly appreciated.

If you've wiped/reinstalled OS there may not be much left that can cause it - are you running the latest version of firmware on the device?
Might be worthwhile to call Orange tech support and see if they have encountered any known issues and have any fixes or if it could be a device or possibly even a network issue (but I doubt it would be that).

Wlan does not automatically turn off after anna up...

Hi All
The wlan connection on my N8 does not automatically terminate after using mail and sometimes ovistore after anna update - I have wlan scanning off and power saves enabled - is there an obvious setting I am missing or is this another nokia power saving concept ?
Thanks in advance
Boothy

Same problem, automatically disconnects sometimes and not others. Its annoying having to manually disconnect the wlan each time.
Plus its happening with the 3g connection, the solid lines appear to say the 3.5g is being used after looking at e-mail from the homescreen widget. Made sure e-mail prog was shut and no apps running and widgets were set to offline mode, but still open 3G connection
before Anna update I used to be able to go to connection manager and disconnect, now the connection doesn't appear in connection manager even though I know its active.
Put the phone in offline mode, then back on again, connection is then dropped and the lines are broken again showing no 3g connection active.
Whats going on, why are the applications not terminating the used connection when the program has been terminated?
(Symbian Anna running on N8)

HT4061 Hey my Iphone just automatically turned off? Pleasse tell me what to do?

I need help, my just turned itself off and now it won't turn on. I just don't know what to do? One moment it was on and then it just went dead. Please someone tell me what to do? I tried syncing it with Itune but my laptop won't recognise it. I haven't plugged with the charger but I doubt that will help. It was acting a bit weird before it turned off, like the applications kept on minimizing on there own and stuff. I had also accidently turned on guided assistence and forgot the passcode but after a bazillion tried I managed to put in the right code and I had hotspot on for a long period of time. Please anyone help me

Hey thanks alot and I asked this question in yahoo as well and someone there solved my problem, he said to cintinously press the home and power button for 30 seconds, i did and it came on, i was practically jumping with joy.

IPhone 5 speaker turns off during call

32gb iPhone 5. When on speaker during call, switches automatically back to iPhone inadvertently. On call with only one person. No incoming calls causing issue.
Tested on other calls by putting phone on solid surface without touching. Not a PIBPAC error. Please advise if you're experiencing similar issue and how you solved for it. Thank you

I figured out a solution. Apparently it was a software malfunction. I got the toll free number off the web (1-800-MY-APPLE) and called and gave them my information. They gave me three different options to send my phone in for repair or replacement. The entire replacement process took a out 5 days from the day I called to the day I received the new phone and ended up costing me absolutely nothing. The apple support team was very friendly, courteous, and knowledgable. A software malfunction sounds like it could be your issue, you may want to look into this! Hope this helped!

Take it in and see what the technicians say is wrong and then how they want to handle the iPhone. If the iPhone has a problem covered by the warranty then you should have no problems.

6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black after a while. How can I solve this ?

My 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off (=stops the music) when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black for power saving mode. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
I have already tried resetting, connecting to PC/iTunes to check the software version, turning off/on, I don't have any inspiration anymore.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi VeerleD,
If your iPod touch unexpectedly powers off, you may want to use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting (The steps apply for the iPod touch) -
Specifically -
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery" on its screen.

Hi! My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery" on its screen. I tried with different chargers, still dead! What's weirder is that my sister who has iPhone 4 experienced the same today! No we don't live in the same house!! Does anyone have the same problem?
Please apple support do you people have a convincing answer for us? Is there a solution? My phone is only 2 years old and was (2 hours ago), in top condition!!
Please help....

On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best."
My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals. Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.
