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.

Iphone 4 background stays lit during calls

My iPhone 4 stays lit during calls and causes battery to run low and inadvertently mute me. I've had my screen replaced by citymac and after doing some research I'm guessing it's the proximity sensor. Is there a setting on my phone to turn off the background in a call or is it a valid assumption to make that the proximity sensor is screwed up. If so, how much will it cost to fix?
Thanks in advance,
Zach

Hi,
Is Your iPhone Under Warranty?
The Proximity Sensor , The Black Spot ( Above The EarPiece ) Has Been Damaged Or Is Faulty.
If Your iPhone Is Under Warranty, You Can Give It To Apple Or You Can Get It Changed By A Third-Party Dealer.
I Cannot Comment On The Pricing As The Cost And Quality Of Sensors Is Different Everywhere.
Thanks.
Hope This Helps.

IPhone 4 stays lit during calls

My iPhone 4 stays lit during calls. It causes me to hit the mute, FaceTime and contact buttons during calls. I took my otter box off and it still does this. Can anyone help me?

This is Proximity Sensor problem. This sensor is located on the Power Button Flex Cable. If the iPhone front screen has been replaced this is known problem. Restore iPhone with current iTunes on computer.

Lock screen stays lit in pocket when playing music

When I am playing music and listening through my headphones, my lock screen stays lit. This happens if I, for example, check the time with the lock screen on and put it back in my pocket. If I don't click the hold button to manually turn off the screen, it stays lit in my pocket until manually turned off.
This also happens if I use a voice command through my headset. After using this feature, I notice that my phone will stay lit on the lock screen until I manually shut it off by hitting the lock button.
I called apple care and they told me to reset all settings, which I tried. I also started this phone as a new phone, not from a back-up of my previous 3G.
I am not sure if this is also what is contributing to my battery life, or lack there of.

mgsone, you can try to restore you iPhone 4 using iTunes. It'll wipe it and restore it and re-sync everything back on. This has fixed various issues such as battery charge/life and various bugs. It doesn't hurt to try. But please make sure you backup your iPhone 4 before you do so. All within iTunes.

How do you set the amount of time the screen stays lite after your last use?

How do you set the amount of time the screen stays lite after your last use?

Settings>General>Auto-Lock.

Can you adjust the length of time the screen stays lit?

Can you adjust the length of time the screen stays lit?

but you can't lengthen it unfortunately.
Bear in mind, the screen is the largest consumer of power.

Is it possible to have the "lock screen" stay lit up while I am charging my iPhone 4S?

Is is possible to have the "lock screen" stay lit up, and not go dark, while I am charging my iPhone 4S? I would like to turn off the sounds and vibrate but still be able to see the clock and see if any new messages come in.
Also, is there a setting or an app that will turn off all my sounds and vibrate at a given time, say 10pm and then turn it back on at 7am?

No and no.

My 30GB iPod display screen stays lit when in the cradle

Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7.0, my iPod (running vers. 1.2) display screen stays lit (albeit at what seems to be half-luminance). It never used to do this. It is powered (and upgraded) via one of the USB ports - as opposed to a FW port.
Is this now normal? Is tere a way to disable this function? Or do I even need to disbale this and instead just not worry about it?
thanks
Theo

Mine does the same, and I've heard that other people are seeing the same thing. I'm not too concerned about it.

Skype screen goes white during calls and video calls

Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 and recently after the latest skype upgrade I'm getting a white screen during regular calls and during video call while I can talk and hear the other side and on the video call the other side can see me. Important to mention that I see the contact list on the left side.
What should I do in order to fix it? (tried reinstalling skype)
Thanks a lot in advance!

want the home screen to turn off at night

So do we all, Len ...
Perhaps there is a magic way to switch off the panel light other than switching off the Printer - I have not discovered it.
If it is just a matter of the light bugging yout trip, stick a bit of paper on it with a tape across the top so the paper can be flipped up when you want to use the printer panel.
Taped Paper is not a solution: this is called a Workaround.
Personal Commentary -- No Facts
There should be an off / on switch but these cost money -- timer's cost money, tiny bits that switch the screen on and off for sleep mode cost money.
Adding anything to the display to make it smarter adds one more place for the display to break because it adds complexity -- and costs money.
Tiny amounts of money and little bits of add complexity -- times thousands and thousands of printer displays.
Rats.

Nokia N8 screen going OFF during call in bright su...

Hello Friends,
My N8 screen is going black whenever I am making calls in the bright sunlight. So I cannot view the dialler at all and unable to end the calls. This problem really annoys me a lot. Anyone expereinces this problems. Please help me in this regard.
thank you very much,
Shijo

Ja. it has funny tendencies. The proximity sensor turns the screen off when you bring the phone close to your ear then when you remove it could take a couple of seconds for it to come back on.
I did notice it's a bit worse when in bright sunny conditions. If the key pad was locked when you received the call it can also cause make that lag a little longer
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

Is anyone else experiencing screen activation issues during calls?

I got my iPhone in the first batch from VF. Since then I have not experienced any of the issues reported as common faults such as the signal loss - however, I have a new one - the screen on the phone activates itself after a length of time (sometimes a while into a call, sometimes after only a couple of minutes) - this means, when I am happily chatting away the screen activates and my face is happily touching all the buttons on the screen - majority of the 'end call' button! At first I thought I was going crazy, maybe it was me holding it funny, but now I know I'm not!
After doing a bit of googling a few o2 users have reported this issue too - does anyone else have this problem?
Its very irritating. For example, last night I was on the phone to my partner, and the call ended twice - the first time I actually managed to type out a very garbled email to someone!!

It's the proximity sensor, and there are hundreds of posts on here about it. It's not affecting every device, so make an appointment with an Apple Genius, pop instore and get it swapped out.

Should Touch Screen Stay On During Music Play ??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just happened to notice this morning on the drive into work that my iPod Touch screen never turned off during the entire time I was listening to music ( approx. 20 minutes ). Approximately one minute into the music the screen dimmed significently, but once it dimmed it never went completely off like my iPod 5.5 does. I have auto-brightness off ( I tired it with this setting set to on... does the same thing ). My lock-out time is set to 1 minute and my Wi-Fi can be on or off, making no difference.
I've never noticed this before, and the only thing I've changed was to install a Best Skin Ever cover ( front and back ) yesterday. I have noticed that the screen sensitivety is no longer as sensitive to the touch as it was without the BSE, especially when using Safari. I'm wondering if the skin could be causing the screen not to turn off ( if in fact that is not normal).
Is this normal?

Hmmm. I have the auto-lock set for 1 minute, and mine dims after about 30-45 seconds, then shuts off after a minute. And the music continues to play. Until you find a solution, note that you can always press the top button to turn it off, and the music will continue to play. And pressing the Home button twice will always bring up the music controls.
