Sensor not working???

I have an 8gb "old" Iphone. It is actually my second iphone, as my first one fried, and I had to have it replaced. However, this one does not seem to be working correctly. The proximity sensor does not seem to work. When talking on the phone, my face will touch the screen and put my call on hold, or mute, or begin adding calls. This causes a lot of problems for me when I am using it for business. Seems that this did not happen with my first phone. Should I take it in? Where I live, the closest apple store is about 60 miles away, and the "genius bar" has long wait lists. I would like any other alternative if there are any.
Thank you so much for any advice!

I had that problem, sent it in and they replaced it for me within 5 minutes. Easy and free 2 thumbs up for Apple on that, but if your iPhone is stolen, you are outta luck

  • Finger sensor not working and some time iphone 6 screen also hang/pause  for few seconds

    In my iphone6 finger sensor not working and some time iphone 6 screen also hang/pause  for few seconds.

    Try cleaning the sensor, remove all fingerprints from the settings, and the start over in recognizing prints. There are a number of things that make prints hard to read, sweat, lotion, dirty hands, etc.

  • Toshiba - A665-S5170: ambient light sensor not working after recovery

    Hi all,
    Two weeks ago I bought Toshiba - Satellite Laptop Model: A665-S5170 | SKU: 1859059
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+Satellite+Laptop+/skuId=1859059
    I tried to resize the C: partition using the recovery option. It works fine ending with C: partition (100 GB) and D: partition (480GB)
    All the divers and applications restored fine except the ambient light sensor.
    I used system recovery to out-of-box state, but still have the same problem "ambient light sensor not working".
    Would you please help me find a solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    I had the same problem. I tried resetting SMC but that didn't do the trick. Then I tried “Repair disc permissions“ and that fixed the problem.

  • Iphone 6 proximity sensor not working any more

    Dear apple users,
    A few weeks ago i dropped my iphone 6 and my screen broke, so I decided to fix it. I ordered a screen online and changed it. Every thing seemed to be fine until i tried to call somebody, because my screen didn't turn off when calling, yet my light sensor did work. So I took it apart again and again and again but it didn't change anything. I went online and read on some forum that you had to tape it off in order to keep light from getting into the sensor. So i tried but also this didn't work. I really don't know what to do now, does anyone know how to fix this problem? By the way, I should just have brought it to apple, but I thought this would be a lot mor expensive and take a lot more time. But after all I should have never done this
    With kind regards,
    Joost Bun

    Sorry, but as you already wrote, you should have never done this, and Apple will not service the phone anymore after you have opened the phone.
    Your only chance would be finding a 3rd party repair service that can fix that for you. And we can't help you either, due to the Terms of Use in these discussions.
    Good Luck anyway.

  • Proximity Sensor Not Working on Brand new Z2

    Hi, The Proximity sensor is not working on my new Xperia Z2. I have ran all the tests on the phone and they have failed. 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. 

  • Sensors Not Working. Please help!!! :(

    I have got a new BB z10 and its Sensor doesnt seem to be functioning.  When I take the call the take the headseat near my ear, the screen doesnt sleep automatically. similarly when I take the phn back from ear it doesnt wake up. Is this a software issue? I am on the stock OS yet and havent updated to 10.2. Please help.
    thanks 
    Naveen

    Hi,
    Use the BlackBerry Virtual Expert to test the sensors. It should pre-installed, or go through the Help icon and select Test. I'd also make sure the device software is up to date, using BlackBerry Link.
    If the Test shows that it's not working and the device is new. I would suggest you return it to your point of purchase for repair or replacement.

  • Driver problem, Colour Sensor not working properly?

    Hey!
    My W530 came with windows 8 preinstalled. Unfortunately I got sick of it after 2 months of use and decided to install windows 7. After turning off safety boot in the bios menu, windows 7 worked pretty good. I'm only having a few issues at the moment.
    - Some hardware is missing its drivers. I installed most of the drivers (needed ones) as far as I know. But in the device manager, its showing me that software is missing.
    - X-rite colour sensor is not working. It worked in windows 8 and I absolutely love it. But when I try to make a new profile (calibrate), it gives me an error (not sure what the error is in english, so here goes google translate: error setting calibration-initialization) and three beeps.
    Some of my own thoughts are that, when I had windows 8, my screen showed up as 'Thinklad LCD' or something similair (in the screen resolution menu). Now it shows up as 'screen of portable computer' (this is obviously not the exact term it shows, its the standart name that windows shows for monitors and displays. hooray for google translate again). I was guessing that maybe I am missing a display driver (even though I could not find one myself). And since it shows 'ACPI' at the device manager at 'unknown device', I am guessing it has to do with a harddrive driver?
    I really tried my best spitting out the forum, and google. But I got no luck. I really hope someone here can help me (again).
    Thanks a lot!
    Image showing errors and what not. Its dutch, so if a translation is really needed, I'll try my best and translate most of the onscreen stuff:

  • Ambient Light Sensor Not Working Macbook Pro 13 inch early 2011 version

    Hi. I just need some clarification on how the ambient light sensor works. it seems mine is not working. Correct me if I'm wrong:
    1. Screen light must increase brightness if you are in a dark / dim room
    2. Screen light must decrease brightness if there is natural light
    What must be the level of light in F2? Should it just be in the middle to activate ALS?
    Am I correct or not?

    1. Screen light must increase brightness if you are in a dark / dim room
    2. Screen light must decrease brightness if there is natural light
    Actually, you are wrong. The opposite of each statement is true.
    If the screen adjusted itself to maximum brightness in a very dark room, it would be blinding. In a dark room, you only need a very dim backlight to be able to see the screen well.
    And in bright light, the screen is quite hard to read unless it is very bright.
    What must be the level of light in F2? Should it just be in the middle to activate ALS?
    I'm sorry, but I don't understand these questions.
    The ALS is always active. You can determine (in System Preferences) whether or not it will automatically adjust your keyboard and display backlights as ambient light levels change.

  • Kinect v2 prototype sensor not working

    I have a kinect v2 prototype sensor i brought online the one whit white black pattern. is this device not made for windows?
    and windows adapter cable from microsoft
    and buyed a new usb3.0 card from transcend PDU3
    i have windows 8.1 64bit 
    but the kinect just keeps disconnect and reconnect 
    and its still shows that my usb controller have unknown bandwidth.
    i have tried whit my usb 3 on my motherboard before i got the new usb card.
    this card should be supported right?
    i have also radeon r9 280x gfx card new latest drivers.

    Your issue sounds like a chipset compatibility problem. I'm not sure if the card you bought is supported.
    We have a bunch of threads about that topic so please read them first. I'd start from this one:
    Confirmed List of USB 3.0 PCI-e cards/Laptops/configurations which work for Kinect v2 (during preview)
    Hope this helps
    the usb3 card is supported its in the list transcend PDU3 
    and my motherboard have both intel and renesas 
    and my pcie have gen3 
    i can see that in usb monitoring program that kinect camera connected to usb2.0 high speed only but its in a 3.0 port in the pcie card. 
    in the verifier tool i see that kinect disconnecting and reconnecting and 2 seconds i get preview picture  than right after black screen again. and disconnecting. 
    i have also tried openkinect drivers same thing
    no leds light in the front of the kinect it just blinks 1 sec then off when disconnect
    what should i try next?
    i have now formated my pc and reinstalled win8.1 64 and now i get only 1 frame from the Kinect then i need disconnect in Kinect studio then reconnect to get 1 frame again. continue frames not working
    and if i first start Kinect verifier tool then nothing works but if start pc and just start Kinect studio i get 1 frame again.
    whats wrong?

  • , Finger print validity sensor not working probook 450 g2

    i have downloaded the finger print validity sensor and intalled it ..till now it's not working and i cant even find it in sign in options 

    Hello @ess_elgiendii ,
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
    Even though this is a Commercial product, I would check is it enable biometric support.
    Here is a link to troubleshoot the Fingerprint Reader software.
    You have installed the incorrect version of software for your system. You will have to uninstall it and install this version.
    Thanks.
