My iphone earpiece and proximity sensor stopped working suddenly

i have iphone4.
It was working fine. suddenly I dialled a call and noticed that the proximity sensor was not working. I could also not hear anything on my earpiece.
I tried various numbers but these 2 things are not working:-
1) proximity sensor
2) earpiece of the phone.
However I can use the headphones(earplugs) normally.
How do i get it to work. I have tried soft and hard restore already but no gain.
Jagesh

obviously its coverd by warranty unless you stole it.
so my advise is to call apple advisor
or altenatively you can try hard reset by pressing power and home button at the same time for 15 seconds
This solved your question? if yes plz help me get points

  • IPhone4 Proximity Sensor stopped working

    This week my proximity sensor stopped working.  I tried rebooting but it still will not work.  I filmed the sensor during the call and there's a red light appearing but whatever I do, I cannot turn the screen off.
    This is really annoying since my face is always selecting mute...
    Is this a known issue?  I tried searching but everyone keeps talking about cases and protective screens which I don't have.
    Help?

    +1, I'm facing this issue too. Have tried everything, like reinstalling firmware, removing screenguard etc. But no luck.
    Pls help....

    Hi, I have a 13" MacBook Air and my bluetooth stopped working suddenly, I receive this message: Bluetooth not available

    Hey csamuelnguma,
    Thanks for your post, and welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that your MacBook Air's bluetooth is no longer functioning correctly. I recommend that we start by resetting both the SMC and PRAM:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    OS X Mountain Lion: Reset your computer’s PRAM

    Note: Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
    Thanks,

  • Light and Proximity sensors not working

    Hello.
    Recently, my Z10 hasdeveloped a very strange problem: light and proximity sensors would not work on the device. My Z10 no longer auto-dims the screen, and the screen stays on during calls. According to BBVE, light and proximity services are both listed as unavailable, and tests could not be carried out for them. Restarting the device seems to fix the problem temporarily. I am completely out of ideas what to do next, since this issue is very annoying. So far, I have tried:
    Performed hard reset
    Performed OS reload via BB Link
    Used an autoloader to load developer OS
    Did a battery pull
    Did a security wipe
    I spent a lot of time looking for a solution to this problem, and seems like it is relatively widespread issue - even affecting new devices like Passport. Any assitance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Did this problem occur suddenly or have you donwloaded any apps (android port) before the problem started ?
    Hi there!
    This problem occured suddenly, during normal operation. I don't have any Android apps installed. I even got the same issue right after I reloaded the OS and after the factory reset. Very strange.

  • Z10 - Light and proximity Sensor not working

    Hi,
    unfortunately neither the light Sensor nor the Proximity Sensor are working on my device (Z10). I did reset my device to factory settings yesterday but without success. BBVE tells all sensor services are available and running but the Proximity and Light Sensor tests fail. I tried to reboot the phone but afterwards BBVE claims the Sensor Services to be not even running anymore.
    My Phone is currently running on Version 10.2.1.2977.
    Is this a software or hardware releated problem? And does there exist any fix to it?
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Best regards.

  • IPhones proximity sensor stopped working.

    Hi,
    I've now read quite a lot of the other discussions on this so I've literally tried everything. Mine stopped working about two days ago (It had been working fine the past 2 and a bit years) - it's just pretty annoying really (the face dialing etc).
    What I've tried
    Reset settings
    Reset to factory settings
    soft reboot
    removed case
    removed screen protector
    Phone hasn't been dropped , immersed in water , lcd replaced etc etc
    Anyone have any ideas?
    P.S I can't take it in to an Apple retail store as at the moment I'm currently in New Zealand where they have no stores.
    Thanks!.

    Also forgot to add that it also doesn't change brightness automatically anymore.

  • Proximity sensor stopped working after update

    I updated to the new ios 7.1 and now my proximity sensor doesn't turn my screen off! So annoying while on the phone. Help!?

    Remove any screen protectors or case on the device, does the problem continue?
    If no screen protector/case or that does not resolve the issue, basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • File sharing and screen sharing stop working suddenly

    I have been using file sharing and screen sharing without any issues between my mac mini (10.7 Lion) and MBA (10.8 ML). However, both suddenly stopped working the other day - that is, I saw the mac mini on my MBA's list of Devices, but when I clicked on a drive or on screen sharing, it just said could not connect. I rebooted the computer and they started working again...but a few hours later suddenly stopped. I toggled those options on/off in the Sharing section of Sys Prefs, and they started working fine again...but then stopped again. It seems no matter what I do, file and screen sharing just stop working after a short period of time after being enabled.
    Ideas?

    Turns out the problem was that I had a daisey-chained ethernet switch. My mac mini was on an ethernet switch that was not visible to my wireless network. Make sure that your ethernet switch is somehow directly connected to whatever is serving as your DHCP server, then your wireless devices should see it.

  • Proximity Sensor Not Working on Brand new Z2

    Hi, The Proximity sensor is not working on my new Xperia Z2. I have ran all the tests on the phone and they have failed. When Put up to the ear during a call the screen does not switch off and all the icons get pressed etc. This is VERY annoying as i cant even speak to anyone for a minute before im dialing someone else by mistake. All Software is up to date. SONY, What the soslution here? I will be taking it into the Sony Center here tomorrow but I dont want to be without my only buisness phone for 3-4 days.

    OK installed each update to the pre-installed apps one at a time and tested the proximity sensor after each. All fine till Sony TV Side view : quick remote. after instalation proximity sensor stopped working. after uninstall all working fine again.Seems this is the culprit but I will add my 3rd party apps one at a time just to make sure. 

  • Lumia 920 proximity sensor not working

    It's a 5 months old Lumia 920 and already the proximity sensor stopped working!!!
    When i make a call or receive a call, when i place the phone beside my ear, or cover it with my hand just to check, nothing happens! The phone screen doesn't go black, it stays active for the entire time and the phone charge drains like crazy.
    Guess it's a hardware failure. Still if anyone has any suggestions, i will appreciate much.
    Thanks in advance.
    BR,

    I've had the same problem. The screen won't blank during a call (like the proximity sensor isn't detecting my face/finger/hand). I keep hanging up on people with my ear. I've taken to locking my screen before putting it to my ear but anytime I get another call / text / voicemail / calendar notification / alarm while i'm on the phone (which happens a lot still) it lights the screen up again and makes it where i'm able to hang up with my ear.
    I've factory reset, and had the phone replaced TWICE already. I'm on my 3rd Lumia 920 (and they all have the same issue!) This didn't happen until the most recent firmware update...so I think it was a problem created when they were trying to fix the other proximity sensor issue where the screen stayed on black all the time during a call.
    Rebooting does fix the problem temporarily, but it always comes back. I'm tired of hanging up on people and hoping for a new model device from AT&T but they're giving me **bleep** at the moment.
    TLDR: Factory reset, replacement devices don't fix the problem. It's a firmware bug. I'm on my 3rd 920 with the same issue. Extraordinarily frustrating.

    Hi folks,
    i have an apple IPhone4. I am experiencing certain problem with my iphone4. The problems are as follows a. my ear piece and proximity sensor is not working while making a call. 2. It cannot reproduce sound without earphone but rings normally if gets any call.
    Can any one help me in this regard??

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
