The proximity sensor  in my iphone 4 is not workin. What can i do?

Hey there JLOGON,
It sounds like your proximity sensor is not sensing your face when you go to answer a call. I would try these steps to help troubleshoot the issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Screen won't lock or go black when answering calls
Verify mute or speaker have not been activated, just prior to placing your ear over the receiver.
While on a call hold your hand over the top third of the display, and verify that the screen is locked or goes to sleep.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

    There is no "left speaker". It's a microphone... Try looking at the manual.

  • HT1414 my daughter has iphone 3gs and it required an update , so i connected the iphone to itunes for update and the iphone locked up, I had to reset back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , what can i do

    My daughter has an iphone 3gs and it required an update. So i connected the iphone to itunes for the update and the iphone locked up . I had to reset the iphone back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , Please advise what i can do to get this working for her ?

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • Suddenly my iPhone does not sync   ~  what can I do

    can anyone help me
    my iPhone always would sync as soon as i plugged it but it won't anymore
    what can i do?

    1- Do you have it set as "Manually manage music and video"?  If so, it will not sync to iTunes in manual mode.
    2- If you have it set to auto-sync (opposite of #1), do you have it set to automatically launch iTunes when you connect it?  If not, the auto-sync will not automatically start if iTunes is already running, you'd have to click the Sync button to get the auto-sync to commence.
    3- Do you have iTunes set to not auto-sync devices?  Go to Edit/ Preferences and click on the Devices tab to see if this option has been set.  If so, then you must manually initiate the auto-sync (which is not the same as manually managing the device).  Or, simply de-select this iTunes option.

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or take the phone into an Authorized Apple Service provider.

  • I recieve my Iphone 4s a few days ago and it appears that the proximity sensor only works intermittantly

    My phone has hung up several times, put my call on hold, open facetime.  It appears the proximity sensor is not working all the time.  I've tested it by holding my finger over the sensor and the screen goes dark, but I've had several problems while holding to my ear on calls.

    Apple does not repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
    Damage is not covered under the warranty unless you purchased AppleCare+ when you purchased your iPhone
    There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "iPhone repair".
    Regards.

  • Proximity Sensor Issue, But It's Not The Proximity Sensor...

    So, has anyone had issues with apps that use the proximity sensor (like this one, for example: http://appshopper.com/utilities/touch-lcd-designer-speaking-clock)?
    I noticed, the bright light of the sun seems to be messing it up, and was wondering if anyone else was having proximity sensor issues, without it actually being the proximity sensor (where it seems to think something is in front of it, when it is not).
    When you watch the videos, please put your volume on mute, as there are outside, natural sounds and white noise, that will make you go deaf, if you have the volume on loud. The first video needs the sound on, but low.

    its not that noone cares its that anything related to the proximity sensor has been beaten to death and frankly there is issues with it that may or may not be software related could be hardware related apple said they fixed it and they didnt fix it

  • The proximity sensor on the HTC M8 (windows) is not working, any ideas??

    I just got a HTC M8 (windows) and I noticed that the proximity sensor is not turning off the screen while making calls.  As a matter of fact, I can cover it and the screen will not go off.  Any ideas??

    Either it's defective or by-design.  Reach out to HTC, HTC Support Center-Chat
