Hitting buttons on screen while talking

All of you are probably having the same problems that are being discussed in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2475509&tstart=15

It involved the proximity sensor when the phone is held up to your ear. You should not be activating any buttons by accident.

YES! I've had this since I got my iPhone yesterday! I'm in the middle of a conversation and all of a sudden the person cant hear me. I look at my phone and the MUTE button is pressed. I've accidentally added calls and even initiated FACETIME. I've NEVER had this on previous models

I'm also having this problem. The worst part for me is somehow I seem to be attempting to start a second call and I've accidentally called two people from my favourites list. It will also hit mute or end call. Never had any problems on my iPhone 3G with this so I know my cheek isn't irradiated or something. 😉

On my old phone you could hit the power button and it would lock the screen. The new phone just hangs up when you do this. I do find it pretty irritating that you can't lock while on the phone. It seems like there should be a pretty easy fix for that. I have noticed though that when I type the word me it doesn't come up mr so that is nice.

I had that issue with my 3G only when it was in the case. I've had it with this phone too, but I just hit the home button to put it on the main screen and didn't have the problem now. It was also in the case with this phone when it happened. haven't tried it without the bumper case on it.

Just muted a phone call 3 times, hung up 4 times on friend who told me that if it happened a 4th time I should get the T-Mobil, $40.00 clamshell he has. It wasn't funny on 4 hours of sleep, having waited 6.5 hours on lines today for 2 phones.

My screen was dark when it happened each time. But I noticed the proximity sensor turned the screen on if it was a millimeter away from my face. It was dark out?

I was on a dog walk. Then I walk into my home and he tells me I'm breaking up. My old 3G always had 5 bars throughout the entire house, never a problem with reception where I live. I'm also having problems with Faces freezing the receiver's screen with a photo of my face when I switch to the rear camera. Ugh.

I'm sure they'll get this stuff sorted with an update.

Apple. Please listen to this. We're not making it up....oh, and I have yellow spots, hoping it will go away on its own.

This is ridiculous. In the middle of almost every conversation i either hang up, mute, facetime, or add calls. I have had this happen at least 150 times now. I've NEVER had this happen on any of the other iphones and i've had several of each version. going to return it today

Same problem here, my calls last just a few seconds before I start clicking speaker, facetime, hold or end call. This should be a software issue that shall be resolved on the following update. Hopefully Apple has acknowledged this is a problem and his handling it.

This is a real concern. I used to throw on the bluetooth and lock the phones screen. With iOS4 there is no way to lock the screen and therefore we're all having this same issues.

I dont know why they would have changed what the sleep/wake button does duriong a call because it worked so well on the previous offerings. Hopefully, they fix it...and soon. Its a great device..but cant be called a great phone.

Ok... this is getting ridiculous!!! Did the "reset all settings" thing, but i'm constantly hanging up on people, or muting, or starting facetime.... something is definitely wrong on my phone!

Same exact thing is happening to me. This *****.

It is happening to me as well !

Come on Apple sort it out - what use is a phone that you can't hold to your face.
