My screen dims during phone calls but doesn't come back on after

It seems for the past several weeks my phone seems to dim when I put it up to my ear to take a call but then the screen does not come back on when I take the phone away from my face like it is supposed to. The screen seems to dim if anything comes within 3 or 4 inches of the sensor but the screen never comes back on and I have to hit a button.
sorry if this is re-hashing and I am sure there are others with this issue but frankly I can't seem to get this forum to search and come up with anything so I decided to start a new topic.

Did you try pressing the power button briefly?

Display screen off during phone calls

Hi Sony, lately my Z1 compact switches off display during phonecalls even when pulled away from my ear thus before setting the power button as an "end calls" option I could not end calls as my display screen is off for close to a minute... What can I do?

@252293 - If you have a case or screen protector attached, please remove it and tell me if the problem continues.
@Robertnaples - In your case I can only advise you to speak with your local Xperia Care team as your handset may require further assessment.

Screen doesn't come back after sleeping

Occassionally I find that after closing my MPB to put it to sleep the screen doesn't come back up after re-opening the laptop. The pulsing white light which tells you the machine is sleeping goes off, so it seems as if the machine has woken up.... but there's nothing on the screen. I'm forced to use the power button to shut the machine down and start up again.
Something to worry about?
(p.s. I just tested it again and noticed that when I close the lid the white light isn't pulsing, but rather stays lit)

I just recently (within the last two days) started having this problem myself. I've only owned the Macbook for a few months (purchased it from Apple online store right before the new ones came out). I am thinking it might be due to a recent update or something.
When I close the lid, laptop sleeps but when you open it you can hear the CD tray spin up like it's trying to wake but doesn't. I've tried adjusting screen brightness via f-keys, changing the volume, etc. but seems like system is just locked up. I've been having to hold down the power button and force a reboot.

N8 - touch-screen still active during phone calls,...

I've made a few calls with my N8, and I'm finding that the touch-screen is still active when I hold the phone to my ear. I've accidentally hung up on people, or have inadvertently activated other apps. Is this something I can fix in tools?
The sound during calls is also very low (even at maximum volume), which compounds the above problem even more, as I push the phone closer to my ear.
If nothing else, the N8 should be able to function perfectly as a phone, and this is really frustrating - I never had this problem with other phones.
Also, on the 2nd use of the photo edit program, it took a long time to save the photo, and then the phone froze. Is anyone else having problems with this?

I too fact these problems i.e touch-screen still active during phone calls leading to unintended "hold" on the calls or screens navigating else where. Yes, the side lock bar helps, but then it is not very handy way for a costly model to be designed. Even the older cheaper nokia touch screen model did not have this problem. Let NOKIA people respond to it.
Yes, the sound is too low even at the maximum. Nokia support centre plead helpless.
I think we all made a big mistake in investing in this costly handset.

My iPhone is acting up again; freezing up during phone calls and now the head phone jack intermittently doesn't work.

I got my iPhone 5 back in February 2013 and for the most part of the year I enjoyed it. Then I started having issues with it. First of all the WiFi randomly quit working. I didn't even update it. So I tried updating it, resetting, and restoring it. While it was under warranty I tried getting the issue fixed, but Apple CS blew me off saying it was accidental damage and I should have gotten Apple Care. This time Verizon covered their *** and replaced the phone for me even though it was out of their 6 month warranty period. I think I posted this experience before.
Now my iPhone is acting up again. It first started freezing up during phone calls and now the head phone jack intermittently doesn't work. Again, resetting, restoring, and updating it did not fix these issues.
<Re-Titled By Host>

The original issue they didn't state exactly why it was Accidental Damage. After running through some troubleshooting, they just stated it was Accidental Damage and that I should file a claim with my insurance, and that Apple Care would have covered it; then closed the request.
I've tried resetting settings, restoring it as new, and that was a no go. When it freezes up during calls I also have to perform a hard reset by pressing and holding both the power and the home buttons to get it functioning at all again(just completely freezes, won't respond to touch or home button.) I noticed that the proximity sensor isn't responding as well, so I have to tilt it away from my ear while in a call to keep from pressing the buttons on the touchscreen with the side of my face. I avoid phonecalls now, and text exclusively.
I don't live anywhere near a Genius Bar so I'm stuck with the online support to Apple. And since I don't have a landline, I get charged for their phone support so I tend not to use it.
Getting two lemons in a row seems coincidental so I'm wondering if it's a bad batch Verizon got then distributed out.

Screen Blanking Out During Phone Calls - Solution

Previously I noticed many posters complaining about a problem with their iPhone screen blacking out during phone calls. I think I may have found the solution, or at least a solution. I have been advised by the Apple Store technicians that the case I use (and indeed, many cases that are sold in the Apple Store), are so opaque that they block the sensor found near the earpiece. This is the sensor that tells the iPhone screen to black out when it is next to your ear, and to light up when it is away from your ear. Because it cannot sense through the case, it still thinks it is next to your ear and hence keeps the screen blacked out. And sure enough, when I took my iPhone out of the case, the problem disappeared.
Now here is the question - has anyone got experience with a good case that does not cause the above problem? And those who do have a problem case - have you been able to return or exchange it with the manufacturer?

You have this product - which is specifically designed for the iPhone 3G?
http://www.iskin.com/revo2_features.html
This is the case I've used with my iPhone 3G for the last 6 months or so with no problem.
There is an iSkin Revo for the first generation iPhone, which is not designed for the iPhone 3G since the proximity sensor and light sensor with the iPhone 3G are in a different location than the location for these sensors with the first generation iPhone.

Phone shuts down during phone calls

Using a 3G phone, my husband's phone shuts down during a phone call. It doesn't seem to matter where he is or the other person's carrier. The phone comes back on after hitting the Home button a few times. Today it happened right in the middle of a short cal so length of call has no bearing.
Any ideas?

It is possible. If a case does only partially cover a sensor, then sometimes it may not cover, or it may, especially if it slides around a little bit.
But with that said, there have been a lot of reports about 3G and dropping signal. Read just about any tech blog and you will see many posts about it, though no confirmation about a single cause (a lot of finger pointing).
I'd say try without a case for a bit to see if it continues. If not, then you know that was it. If still issues, then could be related to the issues being reported about 3G.
They are working on yet another update to try to help, but in meantime if still continues, there is a setting to turn off 3G and just use Edge. For phone calls difference between Edge and 3G really doesn't matter. Only when doing something online with the browser or an App that goes online, etc does 3G really help with speeds. So can also try turning off 3G and only turning it on when you need to go online with the phone. See if that helps with calls until update comes out.

No audio during phone calls unless using speaker phone or headset

My husband switched to the Galaxy Nexus a few days ago. All went well until he tried to make a phone call. The audio occasionallyworks both ways during a phone call, but more often it doesn't work at all (either way) or cuts out in the middle of the call. We have tried booting in safe mode to rule out interference from other apps, but the problem persisted. When the audio isn't working, all other sound on the phone works fine. It's only when placing a phone call without speaker phone or headset. There is no sound at all - no ringing, no dial tone, nothing in either direction. I installed a sound manager app last night and all was well until this morning. He did plug in earbuds this morning, and the audio problem returned after he unplugged them. I'm not sure whether the earbuds are contributing to the problem, but I thought I'd mention it. He uses them a lot. Any ideas?

Same problem here. My phone worked great for a week then this problem occurred. After searching XDA Developers, one of the members there came up with an app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix
Not a perfect solution, but does work. I have Emailed with the developer and has helped with any issues that pop up. I suggest the paid version, small price to pay but worth it to make the phone work again.
It would be nice if Verizon/Google actually cared about this issue.

My 3GS crashes during phone calls over about 3 minutes, even after the upgrade to 5.0

My 3GS crashes during phone calls over about 3 minutes, even after the upgrade to 5.o

I've also got this annoying problem, but it seems to vary how long the phone wants to last before crashing - i think the longest conversation i've had with iOS4 is 15 minutes and it was an important phone call (my son was in hospital at the time and i was away on business)
i was hoping that iOS4.2 would fix the problem, but alas nothing but more crashing..
being a user of Apple products since 1984, having this trouble is pretty disappointing as i used to believe that Apple made a quality product..

Memorizing number entered by keypad during phone call

I don't know how to memorize number entered by keypad during phone call. When call ends, the number is lost, cannot recall it after by taping twice on CALL. Anybody knows how? Is there a simple way to do it? Thanks in advance. Take care.

Got it. During the call, instead of tapping the keypad, tap Add Call - then tap the keypad button at the bottom, enter the number, then tap the 'add contact' icon/button (bottom left of this keypad, but not the other keypad), then you can tap Create New Contact or Add to Existing Contact. After that, you can save the contact then cancel out (so you don't actually call the number). You can do all of that while the call is ongoing.
Alternatively, click the home button, then tap the Notes app icon and enter the number into a note.
The advantage of the first method is that you can later dial the number just by tapping it, whereas if it's in a note, you can't directly dial the number from there.

SPA 525G Phones rebooting during phone calls

Hi,
My office uses a SPA 525G system and recently phones have been randomly rebooting during phone calls, causing the calls to drop. I have seen previous forums on various sites about this being a common problem but still do not have a clear answer on what a good solution might be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Are you using The Bluetooth on SPA525G? I find that this happens when I have BT connected to my iPhone

Hiya thankyou for the answer.
Trying to set it up as a new device but can't find the backup to save it.
I have no "mediasync" folder in my library/application support. Did these folders get moved around with Lion?
Thankyou again,

Try restoring the iPhone. If a normal restore doesn't work, try setting it up as a new device.
