    I wish that were so. Then they would probably be taking prompter action. But the return rate three weeks in was substantially lower than most handsets at launch and only a quarter that of the 3GS. I suspect the return rate has remained incredibly low and the figures are further slewed down the way by the worldwide distribution that is now in the tens of millions.
    At 5% return rate on a product I understand that becomes a 'significant event' that becomes declarable to shareholders, so we know they haven't reached that milestone yet.
    a disclosable event is not triggered by a specific stock return level unless apple has entered into covenants re same. Suggest you take a look at sec rules for more info
    Still, unless you have insider knowledge, you don't know Apple's buying them back at record numbers. You may be guessing, but you likely don't have proof....
    agree. I don't have any proof whatsoever, just a strong gut feeling that all is very much not as rosy in cupertino as it might seem.
    For a company whose culture is steeped in phreakery, apple is showing an amazing inability to exert control.
    too many screw ups, too many loose ends, too many whacky hires, too many media backlashes - maybe the senior staff went into dumb-mode while steve was away for so long

    I find it completely ludicrous that Apple can interject on this thread and say it's received too many posts and has to be shut down and a "new" thread started. Really now? Seriously? Couldn't they also simply pop in and post 'hi guys, we hear you and are working on it' ...or something to that effect? That's my main complaint really is the deafening silence. What they're basically telling us is to complain all we want, if we don't like the phone then return it for a refund ...that is if you still have your original defective phone, for all you that already swapped phones, you're beat and are stuck with our mistake for the next 2 years when you'll be upgrade eligible again. ...WOW, thanks for the statement without technically releasing one. ...I think we're all left in the dark because Apple really doesn't know what is going on with the sensor, they can't and or won't release a statement without getting the facts straight. ...but we all know one fact is straight...the sensor is dysfunctional and that alone deserves an acknowledgement. How are we to have faith in Apple to fix the issue when we're left to believe they don't think there is one.
    ...btw update on "my fix" ...deleting all your photos and putting the phone in your arm pit and then under your pillow is only a temporary solution, for mine sensor is on the fritz again. ...shaking my head, if only this were
    funny.

  • Re: Issue with Proximity Sensor during calls

    Im sure if it is a hardware issue, all Apple would have to do is change the software. Im sure they can add something to the software that allows you to lock the buttons when on a call, or make the sleep button on top of the phone disable the proximity sensor if you hit it. Granted, it would be lame if they had to do this, but we all know they aren't going to recall the phone, so hopefully they can 100% fix it, but if not, there are other options, even if we may not like them.

  • Issue with Proximity Sensor during calls

    I'm having an issue with the Proximity Sensor not properly detecting when i'm holding my phone to my ear. I can confirm that the iPhone sensor is working by covering it with my finger, but when held to my face, the screen blinks as if it cannot decide to disable the screen or enable it. It results on me hanging up, putting calls on mute, and dialing numbers accidentally while i'm on the phone. This occurs on 90% of my calls. Is anyone else experiencing this issue. I would like to confirm whether this is a software issue (Proximity Sensor sensitivity too low) or a design issue (sensor now placed towards the end of the phone).

    Hi there bobby adapa,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Screen won't 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.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • Screen stays lit during calls

    I just got a new 3Gs and while making phone call the screen doesn't go black which causes me to hit the mute button. I do not have it in a case or have any stickers of any kind on it so I'm sure that the sensor is not being covered. Any suggestions?

    Could be a faulty proximity sensor.

  • Shouldn't the proximity sensor disable the screen during call w/headphones?

    I've noticed that the proximity sensor does not automatically disable the touchscreen when I'm on a call if I have the headphones plugged in.Is this the case for others as well? Since I keep my 3GS in my pocket during these calls, what tends to happen is that the "end call" (or whatever it is called) button gets pressed from my movements and my call terminates at some point.
    Does this make sense?

    I am experiencing the same issue. This has not been fixed as of 7.0.3. It's a very annoying issue since it completely breaks the "hands-free" benefit of using siri. Now I always have to take the phone out of my pocket, voice dial, turn the screen off, and put the phone back in my pocket. very hard to do on a bike.

  • Proximity sensor/screen issue during call

    My screen goes black during call as normal
    But the screen can still register touches

  • My proximity sensor doesn't work after call waiting

    My proximity sensor works fine during calls. Until someone calls in while I'm on the call. Whether I answer or not, when I pull it away from my face it activates the screen as it should, but it never turns it back off when I continue the conversation. This ONLY happens with call waiting. once i press on the home button and unlock the phone it works fine, knowing that i had a replacement for the phone for the same fault and now and i don't know what to do as my brother's phone is exactly the same however it works fine.
    I have an iPhone 6 running 8.2

    Try removing your case.  If still an issue, take it in to Apple.  You have a 1 year warranty.

  • Light sensor not working during calls

    My iPhone 4 has been working fine since May, until recently...when my light sensor wasn`t working really well, when i am on a phone call, the screen doesn`t turn off even though i place the phone just beside my ears and this is very annoying as my ears will touch the loud speaker button and i have to turn it off frequently during a call...but the sensor works fine for the screen brightness as for auto brightness, i have only dropped my phone once, never been jailbroken before..i have also restored my phone, reset all settings in the phone but none of them helped, is there any alternative way to solve this annoying problem?

    The sensor you refer to is a proximity sensor (not a light sensor) and is not sensitive to light.  It is sensitive to an object close by, i.e. your ear, face or a case.  This can be tested by playing a voicemail and placing your finger to the left of the earpice... the screen should go dark.
    Try removing your case.  If still a problem, it will likely be covered under warranty.

  • 2.2 and call proximity sensor

    Is anyone else having an issue with the dial pad when you receive a call?  Before the update, when a call came in and was up to my face the dial pad/screen was disabled, as soon as I moved it away from my face to enter VM password or something the dial pad came up (using what I believe is the built in proximity sensor).  Since the upgrade, my face seems to be inadvertently pressing numbers on the dial pad.  Maybe I am missing a setting?  Maybe its a quirk not addressed properly in the upgrade?

    No problems with proximity sensor with my droid x 2.2 either. Why don't you simply disable keypad during a call? if you need to impute r numbers, just activate it. again. 

  • HT1665 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 if gets any cal

    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.

  • Phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on

    hi,
    phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on.
    I purchaged it before one month onl. So i wont understand how it comes. Please help me. I am waiting for you reply.

    "Your face is so ugly, it broke your phone!" Ha ha. Get it? How I was joking there? About your iPhone not working correctly after... <sigh>
    But seriously, you said the situation only happens when you have been on a long call, so maybe the iPhone is just autolockng?

  • Sony xperia z3 compact proximity sensor doesn't work while calling...

    Hello there, I have an issue, when I make call my prox, sensor doesn't seem to be functioning... The sensor it self works just fine, I checked them via internal check + few external apps.I already reseted my phone to factory settings. Ps: Yeah I have tempering glass screen, but that shouldn't be an issue because like I said with the testing app the sensor worked just fine ( tested with my finger and ear, worked fine)...  Regards

    Hi, I have the same problem, proximity sensor not working. My phone is in mint condition, not even scratches. This happened just after the latest update, every time I get a call the screen won't turn off. I followed the repair instructions using the PC Companion Software, I errased all the data and restored the phone. I still have the same problem, I tried Safe Mode and the problem remains. I emailed support and they said I can't go back to the previous software version that actually worked just fine. Is very frustrating to run out of options on a "High End" product from sony. I used to love this phone and even convinced some friends to buy it. Now every time I need to make a call I just want to throw it against the wall. Device model: D5833Software version: 5.1.1Build Number: 23.4.A.0.546 Hope I can get some support here!
