Proximity sensor ios 7

I have iPhone5 and after upgrade ti iOS7 I have problems with proximity sensor. No problem at all on iOS 6.x. Now, almost all the time is not turning off the screen durring phone talk an consequently it star facetime or hang up or start or comute the call to speaker ... Anyone else ?

I've been experiencing the same issue since updating to iOS 7.  There is a lenghty discussion in the iPhone Hardware section about this, as well.  I took the advice of one of the posters to send a report to Apple feedback, but it says there that they won't contact you personally, unless they need to.  Surely, if enough people contact them, they can figure out what is wrong with the new OS.

  • HT201210 Is there a fix for Proximity sensor being messed up after upgrading to latest iOS 6.1.3?

    After upgrading to 6.1.3 the Proximity Sensor will not turn my phone's screen black so that other "buttons" are not pressed by my ear of by my face accidentally.
    It worked just fine before the update.
    And if there isn't a fix is it possible for me to downgrade to iOS 6.0, or 6.0.1 or .6.1?
    I have a 16GB 3GS, iOS version 6.1.3 (10B329), ATT, Model = MC135LL/A, Modem Firmware = 05.16.08
    Thank you in advance,

    I have taken it out of the case - I figured it would obstruct the sensor (also have no screen protector).
    Only thing I haven't tried from the Basic troubleshooting steps you mentioned was to "restore as new".
    That I did try it tonight (succesffully restored), BUT my problem still exists.
    You mentioned to go in the MAC store > Would they replace it (for free) if they reach the conclusion it's some sort of manufacturer faulty wiring even if it's a 3Gs (as an old model)?
    Would they still if phone had water damage (this I'm just curious - the phone didn't)?

  • Proximity sensor not working after IOS 6 upgrade

    After upgrading to IOS 6 on a iphone 4 now the proximity sensor wont work just like before until they patched it.

    I had the same problem.
    It's unexplainable for me to tell you why, but I fixed it by switching the 'Airplane' mode on and off again.
    I was testing all kinds of stuff, trying to get the sensor to work again.
    In the settings I accidentally pressed the Airplane mode. And since I didn't wanted that on, I switched it off again.
    A few seconds later I wanted to show a buddy of mine that my sensor didn't work anymore... and surprisingly it did work again.
    Don't know what happened there, but it worked for me.
    If you have the same problem, it's worth the try.
    Drop a reply if it worked for you as well. Then we can confirm this mysterious fix

  • [BUG] iOS 6 - BATTERY DRAIN : SIRI Raise to Speak/Proximity Sensor Always On/Flashing When Screen Active

    Bug: Raise to Speak sensor for Siri remains on whenever the screen is active - regardless of Siri Raise to Speak Setting (enabled or disabled).
    After updating to iOS 6 (via iTunes - not OTA), I noticed that my battery was taking quite a bit of a hit.  Granted I was checking out the new features but aside from a very short call, nothing major in the way of activity. 
    I had also noticed that Siri sounded quite a bit different with iOS 6 (10A403) than with 5.1.1 (9B206).  Not only did the Siri Voice change but also the responses vary between the two iOS versions. 
    Example: What is the weather like in Alaska?
    iOS 5.1.1 response:
    Here's the forecast for Juneau, Alaska through Monday
    iOS 6.0 response:
    Here's the weather for Juneau, AK through Monday (note: Siri does not say "Alaska", instead Siri says 'A-Kay'
    With iOS 6, Siri sounds more robotic.  After looking at speech rate settings and comparing between the two versions, I could find nothing different.  I decided to post a video and this is where the Siri bug became interesting and tied into the battery drain with iOS 6. 
    Remember with 5.0.1 we saw a hit on battery drain and one of the fixes was a fix to the proximity sensor (http://hottipscentral.com/could-siri-be-hurting-iphone-4s-battery-this-little-li ght-might-mean-something/).  Well, it appears this bug is back in iOS 6.  When I went to do the video, I noticed that my 4s had a flashing light near the earpiece.  It remained on continuously.  The only time it would stop flashing was when the phone was locked and the screen inactive.  As soon as I hit the lock button to bring the phone out of lock, the sensor would begin to flash again.
    Give it a shot, hold up your iPhone to a webcam and see if your result is the same. 
    Submitting this to Apple via the feedback form.  Please do the same if you are seeing the same behavior.

    I dont believe so Amy.  Phone has not sustained any damaging drops nor any liquid spills.  Was not an issue before but I figured I'd post as I believe this is a definite bug.  I neglected to mention that I have my wife's 4s (5.0.1 build) which I am using as a comparison. 
    Based on the issues folks are reporting with the ambient light sensor, its either the proximity or the ambient light sensor causing the drain.  I've turned auto brightness AND raise to speak both off and the sensor continues to flash as I described in my opening post. 
    If others can confirm, this will definitely need to be looked at by Apple and fixed. 
    I just found this - same behavior (posted 7/24/2012 on another forum - source link below).  
    Hi folks, remember the proximity sensor (always on bug) I reported here in iOS 6 Beta 1 bugs/feedback thread? It continues to happen in beta 3, I reported to Apple and the answer I got from them is that it behaves how it's intended to do
    Thing is, when you turn Raise To Speak feature off, and use your webcam (no IR filter) to verify if it turned infrared proximity sensor off, results that it didn't. Since iOS 5 this bug has been present, power cycling, or doing a soft reset solves this issue but this solution does not apply in iOS 6. Don't have an idea on how hard it is on battery draining, but it makes no sense that this sensor stays on forever even when you turn this feature off. Unless it has to do with constantly display brightness adjust feature that we have noticed came with iOS 6 version. Doing some test of this feature (some of you commented about a brightness bug in earlier posts) I noticed that ambient light variations make that display brightness adjust accordingly to brighter or darker ambiences. Previous to iOS 6, the sensor samples the ambient light, and adjusts the brightness; it does this only once--each time you unlock the phone after waking it. Now in iOS 6 you can easily watch how brightness slider adjusts itself when display senses light variations. If you open Passbook app it raises brightness to full (it is supposed to act this way for easy reading of barcodes) but getting out of Passbook app makes that brightness readjusts itself responding to actual ambient light intensity (this adjusting task occurs slowly until brightness slider stops to right level).
    I've checked and ambient light sensor and proximity sensor are separate and work differently but if Apple says that an always on proximity sensor in this iOS version is behaving how it is intended to do; all that I could think of is that it has to do with ambient light "sensing"??

  • Proximity Sensor issues iOS 5.1

    Since upgrading to iOS 5.1 my proximity sensor has stopped working when a call is taking place. Knowing full well that correlation does not imply causation I need to ask...is anyone else having similar issues?

    I did the same thing...wasted a well-applied screen protector for no reason. 
    Anyway, I went to the Genius Bar today and they tried installing a fresh version of 5.1, saying the version I'd installed could be corrupted.  No help (no surprise).  I was told its probably a hardware issue and I'm out of warranty and for $149 they'll replace it.  I said I thought 5.1 caused it, and that I wasn't inclined to stick with a product when the company's own update is what is causing the problem.  (imo) 
    So now my options seem limited to jailbreaking and using CallLock.  Been researching how to revert to 5.0.1 to prove my point but can't figure out how without shsh blobs previously saved.

  • Does iOS 4.2 fix Proximity Sensor problems?

    Anyone have any experience with this yet?

    I had major problem with the iOS 4. Proximity Sensor would do crazy things like described in the forums. iOS 4.1 and a new phone seemed to be better. With 4.2. my second iPhone 4 the problem has come back worse than 4.0 problems. The phone will dial a random contact number, it will bring up the email program and will mute. Any tips and does anyone else experience this problem,
    Thanks

  • Problem with Proximity Sensor

    When I decide to make a call the Proximity Sensor turns off the screen, but when I go to hang up the call I can't because the screen is still turned off. This means I can't hangup on any call!
    Using iPhone 4 (1 Day Old)

    I don't believe this is fixed and have rised the issue with Apple. I did what was asked on the link provided and still the problem persisted.
    Could I ask if the problem came about via upgrading the iOS from 3.1.x to 4?
    I've done a clean install of the iOS...meaning I wipe everything.... and it looks like it might have worked.

  • The Proximity sensor don't work properly of ios4

    hello! ive just update to ios 4 on my 3gs, and the problem is that the Proximity sensor don't work properly, when I put the iPhone near my ear it turns off the screen, but when I move it back from my ear it doesn't turn on...
    i tried to restore, and at first the problem was gone, and now it's back...
    is it a bug? I'm pretty sure my sensors are fine..
    tnx!

    I was having the same issue with my new iphone 4 with screen going dark when I lowered it during a call & not having access to the call or controls of the phone. I discovered the problem was the 3G case I was using on my iphone 4 (it happens to fit pretty well). When I removed the case the proximity sensor now seems to function properly. The 3G case must have been interfering with the sensor. I guess I'll be getting a new case. Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Can I change the sensitivity of my proximity sensor?

    Post iOS 7.1 update, when I am talking on the phone, my background doesn't turn dark/"Inactive" anymore.  Instead it stays lit, or "active" and puts the caller on speaker phone, tries to add a facetime call, or puts me on mute. This happens to 95% of my calls. I have had an iphone for many years now, and have not had a problem until the new update. Can I change the sensitivity of my proximity sensor?? Or is there a fix?

    No.
    Are you using a case?
    If so, does the same happen without the case?

  • Proximity Sensor Use

    Hey guys
    I am looking for information on the use or the proximity sensor on the iPhone.  I have done Google searches and haven't found anything on the proximity sensor and development use.
    Is the proximity sensor open to use for development?  Is there any documents at all mentioning the use of this or is this allowed by Apple?
    Thanks

    This is all the documentation and APIs available:  https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIDevice_C lass/

  • My proximity sensor does not work on my iPhone 4

    My proximity sensor does not work on my iPhone 4

    Well, it can be fixed, however it is in a very difficult spot, and it may cost me more to replace than what I can get out of it. I don't care to pay for a replacement since my warranty is up, because I already have an iPhone 5. I want to sell the iPhone4, and not for $75 either because you can't make a phone call unless its on speaker. I didn't know what other people had to say, so I just wanted some feedback on my options. I'm sorry that I am not an expert on the iPhone hardware componets, because I actually work for a living. I don't have time to sit here and play on forums. Thanks for all you're help.
