N-8 : Screen sticks to my ears during call

There is a medical condition called 'Glue Ear' could you have that? It normally affects children.

  • IPhone 3G Screen turns off when lowering from ear during call

    I have my 3rd iPhone; bought it yesterday (last one stolen in Denver Airport). The screen works normally when using the functions other than the phone. When making a call everything is normal but when I put the phone to my ear, I have noticed that the screen does not turn off, however, when lowering the phone to look at the screen during the call, it goes completely blank despite the call still being connected. I tried pushing all the buttons to no avail. I did a reset and also a software restore without success. I discovered that when I lowered the phone during a call and the screen goes blank, I put my warm thumb over the little horizontal sensor above the screen and it would come back on. If I released my thumb it would turn off (the exact opposite of what should happen). I called apple, they said to return the phone because there probably is a hardware issue. I bought it at an ATT store in Santa Barbara, CA; I am told there is a restocking fee to replace the phone!! Amazing, buy a new product, its defective, return it for a new one, and they extract $20 additional dollars from you. Anyone else with a similar problem.

    If it is not in a case and it is defective the only way that the AT&T store will swap out the phone for a new one without the restocking fee is if it's under 14 days. After the 14 days you have to bring it to an Apple store for repair or a replacement. I recommend purchasing the iCare warranty through apple, because it will extend the warranty to 2 years on the phone, and when your phone breaks the apple store will replace it on the spot if they can't repair it in the store instead of sending it out for repair and you waiting for it.

  • Auto off of screen during call.

    My Lumia 520 screen doesn't get off automatically when handset is put on ear during call.
    many times the speaker gets switched on or call get ended by accidental touch of cheek during calls.

    Try a soft reset by holding both the power and volume down buttons pressed until the phone vibrates and restarts. If that doesn't help, take it to a Nokia care point to have the proximity sensor checked and repaired. You can find the one nearest to you by clicking on the Support link at the bottom of the page.

  • Screen remains on after bringing it to my ear during a call (After ios 7 update)

    Screen remains on after bringing it to my ear during a call (After ios 7 update)

    Try these steps:
    Screen will not lock or go black when answering calls
    Verify mute or speaker have not been activated, just prior to placing your ear over the receiver.
    While on a call hold your hand over the top third of the display, and verify that the screen is locked or goes to sleep.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.

    You might also want to try a reset:
    Reset: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Screen becomes non-responsive during calls

    Hello:
    I am having an occasional, but seemingly becoming more frequent, problem in which the screen becomes non-functional during calls. My immediate impression is of removing the phone from my ear to end a call and the screen not lighting up. Eventually, after I played with the buttons (which may or may not have really helped) the phone lit up. This has also happened when the phone was ringing, making it impossible to take the call.
    I am using the most current firmware, but believe the problem began with an earlier version. It just seems more frequent. I cannot reproduce the problem on demand.
    Ideas? Solutions?
    David

    The proximity sensor, which is what tells the phone to turn off the touch screen when the phone is against your face to prevent "cheek dialing", is located just above the ear speaker hole. Do you have a case or anything else on the phone that could possibly be blocking the sensor?

  • Screen not turning off during call

    When I am holding the phone up to my ear, the screen goes black, but if I move it away just a little bit the screen lights back up. So during calls I am hitting keys on the touchpad, placing the call on hold, muting calls, etc.
    This was not a problem on my 3g. Is there a way to fix this?

    This is a proximity sensor known issue, will be addressed by apple in the next update (4.1), they still in the beta3 testing:

  • HT201401 Phone doesn't go blank during call - ear/face dialing during call

    Help! My Iphone4 doesn't go blank during calls, resulting in ear/face dialing.  I've had this problem since I took it out of the box.  Anyone out there with this problem that was able to resolve it?

    There is a proximity sensor near the front receiver/speaker on the front of the phone the is supposed to sense when you have raised your phone to your face during a call and turn off the screen.  Your symptoms indicate there is something wrong with the proximity sensor on your phone.  Try cleaning or removing your screen protector to be sure that isn't the culprit.  If it isn't, make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store to have it looked at.  (If you feel it was related to iOS 6, you could try restoring your phone first to see if that would help.)

  • Since I installed iOS7, during calls my cheek interferes with the touch screen

    since I installed iOS7, during calls my cheek interferes with the touch screen, switching on FaceTime or speakerphone

    That is the bug, exactly. Phone rings, slide to answer, raise to ear to use as a telephone!
    Getting infuriating. "Reset All Settings" worked for over a week for me, then problem returned.
    Have submitted 3 bug reports to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone

  • During call switch off display to black screen

    During call suddenly switch off display to black screen. Calling continues normaly , but is not possible finish this , I must switch off and on full iPhone...... And once one problem - I was think, so this is problem cohere with " Show My caller ID " in setting and now I see, so this function is OFF and is not possible switch ON..... Can you help me any ?

    When you make a call or get a call, the screen is supposed to turn off when you bring it to your ear (it has proximity sensors that activate when on a call). It does this so your face doesn't touch the screen while active and push a button.
    When you pull it away it is supposed to turn back on.
    If it doesn't turn back on there are two possible causes. First case is those that buy and use a case for the phone. If you have a case, there is a good chance you are either using an older case (made for first gen iPhone) on a newer iPhone 3G or your case is just poorly designed. Either way, some cases have a habit of covering the sensor thus it cannot tell when you put the phone to your face or pull away.
    If you have a cases (especially if an older case on a new iPhone 3G) remove it and see if the problem continues.
    The other possible problem is just a bad sensor. So if you are not using a case and having this problem, take unit to an Apple Store for replacement.
    My guess is that you are using a case that was made for the 1st Generation iPhone and not the new iPhone 3G (there is a difference...you cannot use an older case on the newer phones).

  • Iphone 3g blank screen during calls

    I bought a 3g last week to replace an original iphone that had stopped working. Everything seemed to work on the new phone except that during calls the screen would go blank and I could not get it back by holding it away from my ear, hitting the Home button, or anything else except the on/off button at the top, which ended the call. I was on the phone with apple tech support for several hours, trying all sorts of things that didn't solve the problem.
    Then my grandson came home and looked at my phone. He surmised that the case, which I had transferred from my original iphone, was blocking the sensors. This turned out to be correct. If I push the phone slightly out of the case when on a call, the screen works just fine.
    I decided to post this in case some one else runs into the same problem.

    As soon as you said that the screen didn't come on, my first question was going to be are you using the original iPhone case? The proximity sensors on the 3G are positioned a little differently than the original phone.

  • Iphone blank screen during call

    I have developed a problem with my iphone over the last few weeks. When I make a phone call the screen blanks out as expected during the call however if I take the phone away from ear to end the call/use keypad etc the screen will not come back? Is anyone lse is experienceing this issue? is there a way to fix it?

    Remove the case from your iphone and see if that resolves the issue.
    Your case is likely blocking the sensor.

  • Screen turned off (goes black) during phone call and won't wake up

    During a phone call, if the screen goes black (I presume due to the proximity sensor), the phone will sometimes not wake up - even with the home button - and not allow me to access the touch screen.  It's frustrating if I receive another call (call waiting) or if I have an option to press. 
    My first iPhone 6 required a hard reset (home plus power) to take it out of this mode.  The replacement phone I received from the Apple store will wake up with the home button after the call terminates, but not during the call.  This is not a situation where the lighting in the room is too dark for the screen to wake up.  The event will happen during the day in a room lit by sunlight.
    It also seems that the situation happens when I call a phone and go to voice mail or have a number option to press (1, for sales, 2 for tech support, etc) - but perhaps that is the only time I notice the issue as that is when it would be meaningful for me to access the screen.
    In case it matters, I have a black 64GB iPhone 6 for use on the Verizon network.  I have also upgraded to 8.02.
    Any help would be appreciated as I find it hard to believe that this is a hardware issue that has occurred on two phones.

    Hi natgeoff,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I can imagine it would be frustrating to have multiple devices with the same proximity issue, where the screen remains black while on a call. Take a look at the article linked below and try the suggestions provided, like testing the iPhone without a protective case.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    After finishing a call the display remains black
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, remove it from the case.
    If there is a protective or antiglare film on the display, remove the film.
    Clean the screen, especially around the receiver, with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    I hope this helps,
    -Jason

  • Keeping Stock Headphones in your ears during the night

    Hi... it's been a while since I've posted, or even logged in for that matter. But anyways, I've got a question. If anyone knows what a Lucid Dream is, I had my second one in 2 weeks last night. (It's a dream in which you are aware that you are dreaming). Just read dreamviews.com. Anyway, I wanted to try this lucid remix song. It's on my iPod. But my problem is getting the earbuds to stay in my ears during the course of the night. I sleep on my back when using the earbuds, because they are painful when sleeping on your side.
    Also, I'm using the stock headphones.
    Thanks.

    Well I only listen at about 15% volume during the night. And the lucid dream remix song is not constant noise. It's more slowly building tension, keeping that tension, releasing the tention, and occasionally saying frases such as "You will remember to check your reality and identify that you are in a dream state."
    How do I tape them? Do I tape them to my head or do I tape them together.

  • Screen blanking during call - Galaxy S4

    Greetings
    I have BT Smart Talk installed on a Galaxy S4.  Installation went OK and application appears to lauch perfectly. When attempting to make a call, I can dial the number but immediately I press the green "phone up" button at the bottom of the dialler page, the screen goes grey (not black - unlike with a normal call) and there is nothing displayed at all - a completely blank grey screen.  I can continue with the call, but I cannot end the call and none of the buttons on the phone seem to work while this app is controlling the phone.  If I drag the screen from the top, I momentarily get the "end call" screen, but it is desensitised and the red "phone down" button does not work. The only way I can end the call is to power off the phone.  I have tried deselecting "Turn Off Screen During Calls" in call settings but this makes no difference to the BT App - only to the phone's own dialler.  Any thoughts?
    Richard

    Hi rjmeado,
    This sounds like it will need to be looked at by the Smart talk team. Please use the 'contact the mods' link in my forum profile under the 'about me' section to send in your details and we'll get this investigated further. You can find the link by clicking on my username.
