Iphone screen is black when I remove the phone from my ear; can't end call

This is annoying! It doesn't happen all the time -- only some of the time but at least two times a day. The phone works but it just doesn't show the "end call" option -- or anything for that matter. I can turn it off when I have my headset on but if I don't have the headset on, I have to press the lock key on the top of the phone to get it to do anything. Then it locks, and then when I touch the on button at the bottom of the phone, it shows the display again. Anyone have any ideas or should I take it in?

Hey jps42247,
Do you have a protective case on the iPhone? If its covering the Proximity sensor on the iPhone, the iPhone could think the phone is still being held up to your head. In that case the iPhone screen would remain locked so the call could not be ended accidentally.
If you don't have a case on the iPhone, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

I recently had my iPhone 5c screen replaced. When I switch the phone on all I can see is a dark blue/navy backlight on the screen. The phone powers on although I can't see the apple logo. I can ring the phone a bad Siri is fully functional.

Unfortunately, since an unauthorized party opened it, Apple won't have anything to do with it at all. It's not eligible for an out of warranty replacement.

My iphone screen doesnt turn black when im on the phone

my iphone 4 screen doesnt turn black when im on the phone and its not the case and i havent dropped it, is there anything i can do without having to get a new phone. i would get a new phone if i need to but i would like to fix it without having to.

The Ambient Light Sensor may be malfunctioning. Unfortunately there is not much you can do without tampering with the phone internally and voiding the warranty. Your best bet is to bring the phone to a local Apple Store and have them inspect it.

Make sure it is charged for about 10min using the adapter, then connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:

Try a #1 SMC Reset and see the Apple links, if that doesn't work make a appointment for a evaluation.

I cleared a playlist on my iPhone 4 because I wanted to remove the songs from my phone's storage (I had previously downloaded them) because I wanted to clear storage space. I now want to access the playlist via iCloud and can't. Thoughts?

Export Photos and Videos from Camera Roll to your computer.
Empty Camera Roll.
Make a Folder/Album with all photos and videos you want to have in your iPhone and sync them through iTunes.
This will free up space in your iPhone and your iCloud.
The backup of Camera Roll in iCloud is only to restore your iPhone. You can't access them directly.

You need to arrange that with the carrier since they are the ones that disabled it.

Hi, I cannot be heard when iam on the phone? Does anyone can help me?

Hi, I cannot be heard when iam on the phone? Does anyone can help me?

Thank you for the feedback. I still cannot locate the actual Audio file to listen to the book though. I can look on my iPhone and see that it says the book is downloaded but I cannot find it anywhere on the actual phone. I can listen to the Audiobook from my computer, but can't see it anywhere on my iPhone, which is where I really need it. When I plug in my old iPhone 4, it is still listed and I can listen to it.
It is not listed under Music, TV Shows, Movies, Audiobooks, Tones, Purchased or Downloads.
Screenshot from new iPhone 5. It says the Audiobook is downloaded.
Screenshot from old iPhone 4: (This is how I used to listed to my Audiobook before I upgraded to iPhone 5)
Once I clicked on "Purchased" on the iPhone 4...my Audio files are listed and I could click on them and play.
(iPhone 4 screenshot)
Now when I try to go to the same screen on my new iPhone 5, the Purchased button doesn't exist on my Downloads screen and I can't seem to locate the actual Audio Files anywhere, although the phone says they are downloaded and the iTunes App on my PC states that they synched to the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using a case that may be blocking or partially blocking the iPhone's proximity sensor?
If you are using the case, remove the case to see if the same occurs without the case.
If you are using a case and the same does not occur without the case, you need to get a different case that is specifically designed for your iPhone model taking into account where the light and proximity sensors are located which is different for the first generation iPhone and 3G/3GS.

Siri Unresponsive when I bring the phone to my ear. iOS6

So I did the normal Fanboy thing and upgraded to iOS6 the day it came out. Prior to that- Siri was great but now ***** and it isn't Siri...its the phone.
8 times out of 10, if i put the phone to my ear, siri doesn't respond. The 2 times out of ten that it does respond, I can BARELY hear the little "ding" indicating its ready.
Anyone having this issue and what's the fix. Before iOS6, this functionality worked fine. Now its unreliable.

Can I get my phone unlocked? It's locked on tmobile because it's the first SIM card I used when I got the phone from apple

my phone needs unlocking after using a tmobile sim in it yet apple says all phones are unlocked when bought but tmobile cannot help me on this so I'm hoping I can get help here

Hullo Paul,
Merry Christmas, thanx for the reply. Yes I have spoken to them but because I didn't purchase the phone from them they cannot get it unlocked. I have spoken to different people pleaded, explained myself nothing worked. I have also contacted Apple who also said they couldn't help so apple asked me to contact tmobile and tmobile asked me to contact apple so I went in circles till I gave up, it's been six months now just feel disappointed I only used the phone to set it up with my tmobile sim them but that was it, can't use it anymore unless it's a tmobile sim which I don't have anymore.
THanx again

How to get mp3s from the cd to my iPhone library in iTunes when I hook the phone up to my iMac

Always before I hook the iphone up to the imac and open up itunes it recognized the phone and synced. Then you click on the phone and you had a choice of "on this phone" and it would show the folders and songs on the phone. Now, when I hook it up it, it will recognize and sync, but there is no "on this phone" choice and I do not know how to get songs or mp3's from my cd that is in the computer drive to my iphone in itunes. Where did this choice go? How do I get things from a disc to my phone?

Your post is confusing to me because I don't understand the process you are describing. Normally, you would import your CD music into iTunes, then sync your iPhone to iTunes, capturing the music on your iPhone. The "On This Phone" tab would be irrelevant.
Anyway, you can see "On This Phone" by pressing the iPhone icon toward the top of the iTunes window when the iPhone is plugged into iTunes. "On This Phone" is a tab toward the rear (the "Summary" tab is at the front).

Screen freezes up when I wake the iMac from sleep

Hi, all. This is my first post to Apple Discussions, so please pardon me if this is a dumb question. I have had a problem twice in the last 24 hours. I have an iMac G5 that I keep on most of the time. I do put it on sleep mode when I'm not using it. This morning, and then again this evening, I had the iMac on sleep mode. When I woke the computer, the screen came up, as usual, but when I went to click on the Safari icon, the screen became fuzzy and locked up. Powering the unit down was the only way to restart the computer. After that, things worked fine. However, this is a new occurrence. Is it something serious? Is it easily fixable? Is this common with iMacs? Just wondering. In the meantime, I'll probably just use the "shut down" command when the computer is not in use. Thanks for any advice that you can offer.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Been waiting along time for this problem to be fixed. Unfortunately the update hasn't help at all and even made the situation worse. Now my airplay connection from iMac to stereo abruptly stops after about 10-15 min. so I have to go over and quit wifi, start it up and find my airport network. Not sure why it always has a problem with the apple airport network. My neighbor's pc network is always there.
