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.

  • HT201371 Touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.

    Good morning to all,
    My touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.
    It was working perfectly until the update and then it stopped recognizing my prints
    I've reset the phone and deleted my fingerprints and now I can't even add a fingerprint again.
    I am sure this is not a hardware problem since the phone was working perfectly before the update and it didn't fall nor anything similar.
    Also the sensor is clean as well as my fingers.

    Same problem... I think we all should let Apple know of this issue. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ tell them the probelm. So when they get too many complains they will surely fix it ASAP with a software update.

  • Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6, help!

    Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6.  The little iPhone charger charges it very very slowly, but the charger gets really hot after a while.  I restored it and everything works but the charger.  It's only a few months old, should I try a new iPad wall charger block?

    Hi,
    I did this after reading the forums and it made no difference. it has actually charged from 14% to 67% but thats taken over 12 hours.
    Will monitor it and if no joy will go to a apple store
    Thanks

  • Earpiece stopped working after updating to 5.0.1.

    It worked fine the night before.  Then it stopped working after updating to 5.0.1.  I can only hear calls on speaker.  Did anyone else have this problem.  I have tried all the fixes, restart, reboot, restore.  No debris in the headphone jack, and when volume is turned up or down it doesn't show headphones on the screen.  Nothing covering the earpiece.  Tried to blow out headphone jack with compressed air.  I'm thinking it is a glitch in the software.  Using Iphone 4 on Verizon.  Any thoughts or ideas?

  • IPhone4 Proximity Sensor stopped working

    This week my proximity sensor stopped working.  I tried rebooting but it still will not work.  I filmed the sensor during the call and there's a red light appearing but whatever I do, I cannot turn the screen off.
    This is really annoying since my face is always selecting mute...
    Is this a known issue?  I tried searching but everyone keeps talking about cases and protective screens which I don't have.
    Help?

    +1, I'm facing this issue too. Have tried everything, like reinstalling firmware, removing screenguard etc. But no luck.
    Pls help....

    I hate it when updates break things instead of fixing them. Can't Mozilla leave well enough alone? At the very least, each new release should be tested so it works with ALL PREVIOUS extensions!
    Wait till you "update" to firefox 4 and EVERYthing breaks, including the buttons that come with it. There is no arrow next to the dropdown button, right clicking the tab bar doesn't bring up the correct menu, but one as though it were the menu bar (which is missing) and the information bar is missing. True, it's fast, but you'll spend weeks getting it to work properly.

  • Why do some apps stop working after update to iOS 6?

    I notice one of my apps stopped working after the iOS 6 update, in particular Uno HD, which I paid $5 for.  Why did this happen?

    I had solved the problem by installing the free app, which seemed to reset something, then I deleted the free app, and the paid version continued to work until the next day.  I was going to show one of my friends the game, and then it once again would not open- the same problem was back, as soon as I went to open it, it crashed back to the desktop without opening the game.  I had to re-install the free version again, and for a while, neither version would work, but then after a while, it started working again.  I guess I have to leave the free app installed or I won't be able to use the paid version of Uno.
    EDIT
    Just checked again, took the Uno app out of resident memory by double-pushing the home button and holding the app icon til it starts to shake, and then hit the minus symbol, which deletes it out of resident memory.
    Went to open it again, and it of course crashed back to the desktop again.  So there is some issue with it that is making it unstable.
    I have to keep pushing on either one of  the app icons continuously until one of them starts, and then the other one will start.

  • The inspector stopped working after update

    The inspector stopped working after an update. When I click on the inspector button it says "An unexpected error has occured. Please quit and reopen Keynote." Quitting and reopening Keynote does not fix the problem. Inspector does not work in Pages either (it doesn't do anything when I click on it), but it does work in Numbers. I also am having problems opening files created in Numbers before the update.

    Hi jeau300!
    Here is an article that can give you some tips about using your computer with your external monitor in closed clamshell mode:
    Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131
    How to disconnect your Mac notebook from the display after use:
    For best results it is recommend that you put your computer to sleep before disconnecting your display.
    Note: Some DVI and Mini DisplayPort displays—including Apple's aluminum-framed DVI displays and the 24-inch and 27-inch LED Cinema Displays—can be unplugged without putting the computer to sleep. If you aren't sure whether your display supports this feature, put your computer to sleep before unplugging the display.

  • 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

  • Dell XPS 15 l502x mini-Display Port stopped working after update.

    After the updates on the 11-10-2014 my mini-display port (which worked great previously and is part of the Intel Graphics) stopped working.
    Am running Arch 64bit with Slim + E19
    The symptoms are:
    1. Detects monitor from the laptop and xrandr throws no errors
    2. Enlightenment thinks the screen is connected and it appears in the screen setup as on.
    3. The monitor no longer recognizes that there is a laptop plugged in and just stays off...

    So I downgraded those packages and the kernel with no luck.
    I tried to get the HDMI working via Synergy... and failed
    I then tested the Display Port on Windows and it did not work there either - exhibiting the same symptoms as Linux - the OS sees the monitor but no data was transferred.
    So I ended up using one of my Display Link monitors at work... the USB monitors were ok, just an irritation with a flickering mouse.
    I hope it is the miniDP>HDMI adapter and not the port... very frustrated by this problem.
    I hope to test another adapter soon.
    I think as nobody else is experiencing this issue that it may well be hardware/firmware related.
    Hope there is a happy end to this post but not feeling so positive right now.

  • Yoga 13 touch screen stopped working after update KB3000850, please help!

    Hi, my Yoga 13 touch screen has been working fine until yesterday. The laptop came with Windows 8, and last year I upgraded to Windows 8.1 without issue. Yesterday, I installed optional update KB3000850 from Windows Update, and immediately the touch screen stopped working. I have tried the following methods, all without success:
    * Uninstall KB3000850 from Windows Update
    * Use Windows Restore to restore to the point before yesterday
    * Re-install Intel Chipset Driver from Lenovo official driver page
    * In Device Manager, uncheck all the "allow system to turn off to save power" options for the USB input devices under Human Interface Devices then restart
    * Two-button shutdown and restart
    * Install Lenovo Driver Manager and let it check for new drivers
    * Download Cando multi touch panel driver (Note: I could not install the driver because all I got was a .cab file which does not allow me to install)
    As of now my touch screen is still not working. Computer Information page from Settings shows that there is no touch or pen device for my screen.
    Can anybody help me with this? Thanks!

    Very true, this has been a known problem since the first day Lenovo released the Yoga 13.
    I need to send Lenovo a bill for my time spent rebooting.  So far i am on my 8th reboot.  In the past, around 5 reboots after winddows update would work.  This time... who knows.
    Of course it always happens when you have a deadline.
    Please post back if you have found a better soultion than system restore.
    Thanks for posting this issue.  More users need to bring this to Lenovo's attention.

    My sons iPhone 5 did the same thing after updating to iOS 7.1.
    You may have to connect the device to a computer running iTunes and do a restore on the device. Restore as new. If you don't have a backup everything will be lost but you may get the device working again.

  • Receive Connector stopped working after Update Rollout 2 for Exchange 2007 SP2

    One of the Exchange 2007 servers receive connector has stopped working since installing the latest rollout update for Exchange 2007 SP2 - for some reason the following error is received (when troubleshooting on the adjacent server) :
    "Remote server server.domain.co.uk failed the mail acceptance test. MAIL FROM command: Respond = 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated."
    Most admins will know you usually get this when first setting up Exchange and the receive connector not allowing anonymous connections. But our setup has been working for well over a year with no problems. Even enabling anonymous connections still doesn't fix the problem.
    Our setup is 2 exchange servers across 2 sites, with the problematic server never receiving email from the internet, only from the other Exchange server (which is internet facing). The above error is received when the internet facing server is relaying email over to the problematic server. Though in the message queue the following error is received:
    "SMTPSEND.DNS.NonExistantDomain; nonecistant domain"
    After testing DNS that all seems fine, so I don't believe it's a DNS problem.
    Any ideas why this would happen?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi Matt....
    To receive e-mails from the external servers or domains or clients, you can setup a new receive connector on Hub Transport Server. To do this task, you can go through the steps mentioned in this blog....
