Screen light stays on iphone4

I have noticed that whenever I use my phone ,the screen light stays on until I manually switch off.
Can anyone suggest how to rectify it?

Take the case off. It's interfering with the proximity sensor. There is no "setting" that will fix this.

  • Start-up problem with my Macbook - light stays on and screen stays black?!

    Hi, sometimes when I start up my Macbook the switch-on light stays on and the screen stays black. Then I have to turn it off and when I restart it boots normally. What can this be? I resetted already the PRAM and the firmware is up to date. Perhaps someone understands german. Therefore I added my german post... Many thanks in advance!
    Hi, hab ein seltsames Phänomen. Manchmal, vor allem nach ausgeschaltetem Zustand über Nacht, leuchtet nach dem Einschalten das Einschaltlicht auf und geht nicht wieder aus, wie normal wenn das Macbook startet, sondern bleibt an und der Bildschirm bleibt schwarz. Dann schalte ich das Macbook mit dem Ausschaltknof aus und warte ein paar Sekunden und schalte es dann wieder ein. Daraufhin startet es ganz normal. Woran könnte das liegen? Hab schonmal PRAM resettet und die Rechte auch repariert. Der Hardwaretest zeigt auch keine Probleme an. Kann man(n) noch irgendwie überprüfen, woran das liegen könnte oder hat das Problem auch schonmal jemand gehabt? Mein Macbook ist gradmal 2 Monate alt und hat das Problem erst seit kurzem. Könnte das vielleicht auch an einer Software liegen, die ich installiert habe. Kann sowas auch Auswirkungen auf den Bootvorgang haben? Bin Laie und würde gern wissen, ob sowas auch an der Pufferbatterie oder einer kalten Lötstelle liegen kann oder könnte das Macbook da dann gar nicht starten. Wäre für jeden Vorschlag dankbar... Vielen Dank schonmal im voraus!

    Hi,
    put me on the list as well. I was already in contact with ADC and it seems to me that they acknowledged it as a bug. I'm using a Mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter. And sporadically when unplugging it the internal display stays black or switches to the blue background and hangs there.
    As I heard from friends who are using the Mini-DVI-to-DVI adapter in the same use case, this doesn't happen to them.

  • Why does the green light stay on at the top of my screen where pictures are taken?

    MacBook Pro, OSX 10.9.2  - at the top of the frame of the screen a green light stays on - I think this is the camera.  Is there a way to shut if off?

    This procedure may show which program is using the camera. It makes no changes, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. It will only work while the green LED is on. The instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    sudo lsof -Fc +D /L*/Cor*/*/*/AppleCamera.plugin | sed '2!d;s/^.//' | pbcopy
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.
    The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

  • Screen Lights up while I'm on a call

    Why does my screen light up when I'm talking on my Iphone4? I keep muting, hanging up, putting tne person I'm speaking with on hold....this is extremely annoying and makes me regret buying this phone! Why is this happening? What should I do?

    I never think of myself as suffering from the proximity sensor issue but the truth is that on the odd occasion that I don't have my bumper on my phone I do sometimes mute the call with my cheek. This never ever happens with the bumper on the phone.

  • N97 screen light

    Hi on my n97 whenever the screen is slided out the screen light doesnt seem to go off after 60 seconds ( what I have it set to ) however it does go out if the phone is NOT slided out. and the next morning I have no battery left. 
    thanks

    The problem still persists with FW 22.0.110. Sometimes plugging in a headset seems to cause this particular "flavor" of freeze (one of many with the N97).
    Recently however, I have discovered a new problem. The display backlight no longer turns off.
    Timeout is set to 45 secs, auto-keyguard is on. Recently the light just stays on after placing or receiving a call or reading/sending texts so when I am at home or at work and just put the phone on the table and walk away the battery drains very fast with the lights on.
    The usual fix (remove and reinsert battery) does work. Nevertheless this is just one more added annoyance of the N97.
    Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

  • Macpro 17inch just shut down while using.  Tried removing battery and SMC to no avail.  Have had this problem before over the last six months but would always restore.  Now you just click on the power button front light stays on for 2 sec

    Hi, My 17 inch Mac pro laptop just shut down and I can't get it to turn on again.  This has happen multiple times over the last six months.  Looked through the forum and tried removing the battery and resetting the SMC control to no avail. I was having issues also with the screen a month ago but that resolved by itself.  When I took it into the genius bar for screen problems I was told I'd probably need a new CPU board because the vram may be going bad and they just don't fix that
    problem.  Have held off because of a potential $500 repair and awaiting ivy bridge technology.  Does anyone in the community know how I can restart my portable.  Right now you turn on the machine and the front light stays on for 2 sec and you hear the machine click off?

    I think you may have already been told what the problem is.  However look at this and maybe it will help:

  • Windows 10 will not shut down completely? Power light stays on(official july 29th upgrade)

    I just upgraded to windows 10 from windows eight and I'm facing shutdown problems because when I asked the PC to shut down; the screen goes off but the power light stays on and basically windows 10 does not shut down completely whenever I have to turn on my PC again, I have to force the power button down until it completely Shuts down and start it back up again.
    I tried several troubleshooting tactics wants & browsed YouTube videos and but nothing seems work and I've seen people on this forum complain about same thing and am hoping HP fixes the problem.

    YES!!!!! A Solution that worked.  Spread the news.  It has to do with the Intel Virtualization Tehnology. Didn't know what that was until this issue came up in Windows 10. First, find out if this is your issue.   1. I installed the 'Intel Processor Identification Utility' directly from Intel.2. After installation, open the program and go to the 'CPU Technologies' tab.3. If it says 'YES' for Intel Virtualization Tehnology, proceed. Solution...(at least on my system) 1. The next thing you have to do is go into the BIOS.  If you have not done this before, proceed at your own risk.         You need to restart the computer and enter the BIOS (for me I hit F10 at the HP screen)2. Within the BIOS, there is an 'Advanced Options' section3. In this section there is a line for 'Intel Virtualization Tehnology' and it will say enabled or disabled.  My computer said disabled.4. If this is the case, change the option to 'ENABLED'; then SAVE and EXIT from the BIOS.   The Computer will restart and from that point on Shut Down, Sleep, etc. has worked.  WOW this was a frustrating issue. Almost went back to Windos 8.  I take no credit for this solution, I pieced it together from other posts on this issue.  Hope this helps.

  • Why does my keyboard lighting stay on its lowest setting?

    why does my keyboard lighting stay on its lowest setting?

    Negative, that was the first thing I tried. I've also reset the SMC, nothing.
    I can see a little bit of light ubder the keys (white light, not blue) when I dim my screen to the lowest setting, but when I press F6 to strenghten the light, it does not get any brighter.

  • My C310 when powering up goes into "initializing" mode, per the printer screen, and stays that way

    I have a Photosmart Prem C310.  When I power it up, it goes into "initializing" mode on its screen, and stays there, with the little light beam circling the HP logo forever.  It never gets to the menu screen.  I can only power down by pulling power cord.  I reinsert power cord and it repeats the above symptom.  Any ideas, before I just junk it??
    Thanks!!

    Do you have it plugged directly into a wall outlet? If not, take it off of the surge protector and plug it directly into the wall outlet to ensure that it is getting enough power. Even if the prior set up is how the printer has always been connected; it can develop a problem over time by not being plugged directly into a wall outlet.
    The next step to take is to make sure that the light on the module is lit. I would then reset the external power module:
    Follow these steps to reset an external power module.
    Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
    Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet, power strip, or surge protector.
    If the printer uses a power module with a detachable power cord, disconnect the cord from the power module.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    If the printer uses a power module with a detachable power cord, reconnect the power cord to the power module.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
    Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet. Do not use a power strip or surge protector.
    Check to see if the power module on the power cord has an indicator light.
    If the power module does not have an indicator light, continue to the next step.
    If the power module has an indicator light, make sure that the light is on.
    If the indicator light is off , contact HP to replace the power module.
    If the indicator light is on, try to power printer back on using power button. I hope that this helps.

  • When i open my macbook pro- the screen lights up and then goes black-

    When I open my Macbook pro- the screen lights up and then goes black- keybook stays backlite- can not get screen to come back on. Must reboot-
    thoughts-?? Macbook is 6 months old and on second hard drive ( failure after 45 days).

    Hey! exact same thing happens to me... I use the keyboard shortcut to turn off the screen which is ctrl - shift - eject button. Then just poke a key and it wakes up again fine, it doesn't fix the problem but at elast you don't have to reboot. x

  • Minor 5800XM issues - 3.5G - screen light - web ho...

    Hi folks - newbie here so please be gentle ! Have just bought a contract with Virgin Mobile (VM) in UK with a 5800XM. Have had it about a month and generally it seems pretty good, but there are handful of minor niggles that perhaps someone can help me with.
    First issue is HSDPA (aka 3.5G) - or lack of it. Before purchase I checked with VM and they said "Our network supports HSDPA, the phone will automatically switch to it". But it doesn't. Even when I have line of sight to the phone mast, and the signal indicator shows max, the screen icon remains on "3G" and won't switch to "3.5G". I have a further call in to VM to check this, but it's always possible that somewhere in the phone settings there is something that inhibits this switching to 3.5G. Does anyone know of any such setting & where it might be ?
    Second issue is the screen light. I use the music player in the car connected to the aux socket on the stereo, and I want the screen light to stay on so I can see what track's playing. I know that'll hit the battery life but that isn't a problem because it'll be plugged into the car charger. But I can't find a setting to do that - all I can do is delay the auto screen-off up to 60 secs, there seems no option to have it on permanently. Have tried disabling the auto keyguard but that doesn't affect the light. Any ideas ?
    Third, when I connect to the web, the phone automatically connects to the VM portal page which contains loads of graphics and isn't what I want. I want to over-write this with a homepage of my choice, but can't see how to do this. Have tried setting another page as "Homepage" and I get to this through the options with another couple of taps, but I want to go straight there without going through VM. Any idea how to overwrite this setting ?
    Thanks in advance

    I'd advise against changing the CCFL on your own. Chances of destroying the panel by allowing the dust specs to get in between the layers are way too high for my liking.
    Presuming this is a 15" unit, a NOS LG Philips SXGA+ IPS panel can be had for $50-60...
    Do you have the Power Manager installed? While battery life definitely suffers when one moves from XP to W7, it shouldn't be *that* drastic of a change...
