As many iPhone enthusiasts have already discovered, the iPhone 4 proximity sensor (the sensor that shuts off the screen's touch function and backlight when the phone is near your face) carries with it a myriad of malfunctions. This report will discuss the possibility of a fix with an iOs update.
As previously discussed, the iPhone 4 proximity sensor malfunctions after the oils/earwax from a users face/ears distorts the perceived distance of the iPhone. Moreover, the more the iPhone screen is used, the more the layer of oil builds up on the screen. This seems like more of a hardware issue than a software issue to us. Up-to-date reports indicate differently.
IPhone 4
Apple has recently acknowledged the proximity issue and have stated that they are sure that their next iOs (likely 4.2) will address this issue and repair the problem. We were expecting that the 4.1 iOs would address this issue; however, it was not in the listed items nor did it repair the problem on our test iPhone 4's.
While we are still skeptical about the software fix, we are cautiously optimistic that Apple will compose a coding repair. Apple continues to make leaps and bounds with each iOs software release, making the iPhone the first truly evolutionary movable expedient on the market.
At this point in time we will continue to clean our iPhone 4 with an alcohol wipe at the end of each day to assure our phone is not pressing buttons or ending calls when it is not supposed to.
I have been reviewing technology linked devices and repair clubs since July 2007. I specialize in reviewing communication devices such as the Apple iPhone. In 2007, I decided to answer to an expanding question for high capability iPhone screen repair with top notch customer aid and blazing fast return speed.
