Proximity Sensor resolution is NOT here!! OS4.0.1 changes nothing!

installed OS4.0.1 late last night. This morning same problems - two 'face hangups', one 'face mute' and three dropped calls out of a total of seven calls.
impressively consistent FAIL!
Sc.rew the press conference, Apple has contact details for almost all of its' customers - what could have possibly been so difficult about an email explaing the issues.

1. Apple did not say that 4.0.1 fixed the proximity sensor issue, it just changes the display of the signal bars, that is all.
2. If you know what causes the problem, then don't press your face against the phone.
It seems you are the one who is consistently failing to avoid causing the issue.
There is no need to press the phone against your face, it works just fine if you hold the earpiece to your ear and the body of the phone away from your face, very natural actually.
So now we need to take lessons in how to hold a phone - you gotta be kidding me
There will be a fix at some point,
[snip] And you know this how exactly?
but until then just try not doing what causes the problem, not hard really.
see my response to your point 1 above
Ranting here won't help.
Au contraire. Ranting here MAY WELL help. Apple has been so hubristic and delinquent in addressing its' customers concerns in a timely manner that the world media have now caught the scent of blood. They refer to these pages possibly more than apple does. It would seem that apple lack the corporate integrity to do the right thing of their own volition. If being cajoled, harangued, ridiculed, helps resolve these issues, then so be it.

  • Am I missing something here? More Everything changes nothing.

    After reviewing my options in the new More Everything plan it appears it changes nothing. I save nothing. If this is Verizon's answer to the ATT $160 10GB plan or T Mobiles new promotions it is weak. I don't get it. I was waiting to see what Verizon's response would be in the hope I could stay at Verizon and save a few bucks on my bill. They have taken essentially the same plan as always and just renamed it. Again, am I missing something here?

    Why don't you compare apples to apples? At&t $160 10 GB is assuming you are using 4 smartphones and requires you to either use their Next plan or pay full price up front. Verizon's 4 lines 10 GB Edge plan is $180 a month. So Yes Verizon is $20 more per month, but it's not THAT much more than At&t.

  • TS3988 How do I stop my Calendar moving to server account seems stuck and will not complete. Force Quitting changes nothing?

    I have just added I cloud to my PC and my Calendar is stuck trying to move to server account.
    It has shown a couple of failure messages but I cannot access preferences as ther are greyed out.
    What can be done to stop calendar trying to upgrade?

    I am having the same issue.  I am on MacOS 10.9 and the "genius" at the Apple Store deleted all my events on iCloud and attempted to re-upload them but the Calendar app has been in limbo, "Moving calendars to server account" for days.
    If I quit the Calendar app and start it back up it immediately resumes uploading.  So currently my Calendar app is unusable.
    I would like to do 2 things.  First, get it to stop moving events to iCloud.  And second, find out how I can sync Calendar events from my Mac (running OS 10.9) and my iPhone 5S.
    The reason why the Apple 'genius' was trying to clean out my events from iClous and re-upload them was because despite having iCloud turned on for Calendars on both my Mac and iPhone, they were still not syncing all my events.

  • Proximity sensor and light sensor not working

    Z10STL100-1/10.2.1.2141
    My proximity and light sensors are not working. BlackBerry virtual expert can't detect motion in proximity sensor test and not able to handle light dim or high in light sensor.
    What should I do now?
    It's very frustrating because I just bought this phone yesterday.

    Strange thing happened to me today. When i did security wipe my both sensors started working. Both were working till evening. Then suddenly it stopped working, so what is the problem.?
    I am really waiting for solution.

  • 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.

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.

    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.

    Thanks for the information. It seems that you have installed an OS version higher than the one supported by your carrier on your device. Please contact your carrier to get the supported OS version and try the proximity and light sensors. Let us know if you need further assistance. Cheers. ^LFC.

  • Proximity Sensor Issue, But It's Not The Proximity Sensor...

    So, has anyone had issues with apps that use the proximity sensor (like this one, for example: http://appshopper.com/utilities/touch-lcd-designer-speaking-clock)?
    I noticed, the bright light of the sun seems to be messing it up, and was wondering if anyone else was having proximity sensor issues, without it actually being the proximity sensor (where it seems to think something is in front of it, when it is not).
    When you watch the videos, please put your volume on mute, as there are outside, natural sounds and white noise, that will make you go deaf, if you have the volume on loud. The first video needs the sound on, but low.

  • The proximity sensor  in my iphone 4 is not workin. What can i do?

    The proximity sensor  in my iphone 4 is not workin. What can i do?

    Hey there JLOGON,
    It sounds like your proximity sensor is not sensing your face when you go to answer a call. I would try these steps to help troubleshoot the issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    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.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling
