Small red LED slightly to the left of the speaker phone.

I have an iPhone 4 32gb running 4.2.1 software
I recently noticed on my phone that a small red LED has appeared above the speaker.
I can't say I have noticed this before.
I'm going to the Apple Store this coming monday to see what they say about it, but what do you guys think.
If possible can an Apple Rep or someone please tell me what is going on, do I need to worry about this, will Apple care cover this?

thats the proximity sensor people noticed this when they installed 4.1 not sure if its a big deal or not..

HT4623 when i get a call or make one I have to use the speaker phone.I hear nothing after the phone rings but when I hit the soeakerphone icon i can hear the caller but so does everyone else.

When I receive or make a phone call, I have to hit the speaker phone icon to hear the conversation and so does everyone else around me.
My phone was perfect until I updated to the newest version.
The person making the call can hear me, but I cant' hear them until I push the speakerphone.
Any resolve to this please and thankyou.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

The Speaker phone option on my iPhone 4s is no longer working! Help!!

The Speaker phone option on my iPhone 4s is no longer working. Whenever I press the speakerphone button I can no longer hear anything and can not get back to the call. I then must end the call in order to hear anything again. Its not the actual fault of the speaker either because I can still play music and hear it ring. It has always worked before and my phone is up to date. It seems to be the only thing that just randomly stopped working, and I use the speakphone option a lot. Help me please!!
Cheers!

HT4623 My Iphone 5 is experiencing terrible speaker issues - the speakers are busted I do believe. I had a software update on Saturday May 11 - which said it was for the speaker phone, but to no avail... I still cannot use my speaker phone.

I am so disgusted with the new Iphone 5 and the speaker quality. I was using the speaker phone a few days ago, and it started to sound like I had poor signal and poor reception. I later discovered, it was the speaker itself. It has apparently burst.
I then got a notice of a software update specifically for the speaker phone - on Saturday, May 11, 2013. I downloaded the update, and it is still terrible. I cannot use the speaker phone nor use the speakers in any capacity.
To have paid this much for such a wonderfully technical piece of equipment - to find it cannot perform the simplest task of delivering quality speaker tones. It is inaudible.
I am not going to purchase another Iphone. Sadly, I have been an avid IPhone user since they first came out, and have always purchased the newest version. The Iphone 5 will be my last IPhone.
My daughter has the Galaxy 4S, and I am very impressed.
Sorry Apple, you have dropped the ball. A phone this advanced should be able to have the simplest of features work properly... any cell phone has good speaker phone capabilities...except for the Iphone 5.
Signed, a very disappointed Iphone 5 customer.

This is a user to user help forum only so doubtful if anyone here is going to lose any sleep.
If you think android devices never have a hardware problem or failure, you are delusional.
Be sure to purchase an run antivirus on those android devices since you will need it. Android is the mobile equivalent of Windows in regards to security or severe lack thereof.

Accessing the "speaker phone" during a call.

Once I am in a call, how do I activate the speaker phone? While on the call, the "keypad" shows, but there seems to be no way to turn on the speaker phone. The only time I can put my call on the speaker is before I connect with the party I am calling. Many a time in the past few days, especially while "on hold" it would have been easier to lay the phone down and turn the speaker on. I can't do that once in the call.

Phil:
You show two screens. Let's call them the "black" screen and the "white" screen.
When I go into "contacts" and I select a person I want to call in my contact list, and I use the little phone icon in the contact list to initiate the call, then the black screen shows up and stays active, and I can go to "speaker phone" by touching the speaker icon during the call if I want.
However, if I make a call for a person or business I want to call, using the phone number I found on their business card or their website, (they are not in my contact list) and I use the large green phone icon of the phone app to start the call, I get the white screen, and then,if I want to switch to the speaker phone, I can't get there. There seems to be no way to get back to the black screens once a phone call is started.
Also, thank you all others for responding to my issue.

If there's an Apple store nearby make an appointment with the genius bar to have it checked. Be sure to sync it and back it up, as well as import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately (such as by sync them with iCloud) in case it needs to be replaced.

When i try and answer a call, i cant hear on the phone, the speaker phone works and the blue tooth work but not the phone.

when i try and answer the phone, i cant hear anything through the phone. the speaker phone and blue tooth work fine.

when i make a call, the other person cant hear me. they can only hear me if i put on the head phones or put the speaker phone on. what do i do? i think i was ripped off with a defective iphone 5

Perform a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

There are two places where vibrations can be set.
One is the Settings > Sounds
The other area is Settings > Notifications
If you have an app set to Alert, it may have a vibration set for it.

Iphone 5: Audio, the only way i can hear people on my phone is if i have the speaker phone on or headset, what gives?

I've only had this iphone 5 for a few months, i was able to talk to people perfectly fine but now for some reason, i have to put them on speaker phone or use my headset to hear them, if i don't have them on either, i can't hear anything they are saying. anyone know what causes this?

I think you have a pretty good mastery of the internet to be able to figure that out.

When im on a call i need to be on speaker phone to be heard Why dosnt it work without the speaker phone mode ?

When Im on a call I have to be on speaker phone mode to be heard. Why dosnt it work in the normal phone mode ?

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved. If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation. Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.

I continuously have a problem making calls where I have to activate then cancel the speaker phone button. Normally happens when calling landline phones but sometimes mobile. Any fixes?

I continuously have problems making calls from my iphone 4S. When I place a call and press send, you hear nothing until I turn on and off the speaker button and then you hear the ring tone or the person answering. This happens normally on land line calls but does occur when calling mobile phones somethimes. Is this a common problem or is there a fix for it? Thanks

I am having the same problem. Usually happens after I make consecutive phone calls.

Why cant anyone hear me on a call unless its using the speaker phone?

I have had the 4s for 3 weeks and suddenly people cant hear me unless i go to speaker phone, i can record with audio but siri doesnt hear anything
