This thread is a continuation of Issue with Proximity Sensor during calls which was getting too long and causing some browsers to time out. The old thread has been locked and the last post links to this thread.

Thank you.

Your presence here has made posting on this forum practically unbearable. This is one of the reasons I don't post here. You and Himoura would make a nice couple. I have said what I have said regarding the proximity sensor issue and that's that. I am not an engineer, I am making assumptions based on what I do know. I find you guys and your attempts to discredit me rather amusing. If I have no credibility than please continue to mock one another and argue amongst yourselves.

And if I am simply taking pics that have been posted on the internet then please show me one example? What pics did I steal off the internet and use for my own evil agenda on this forum?

Using the phone on your shoulder is a big no no. Seems to be the biggest culprit of the PS issue and the biggest freedom you give up when upgrading from a 3G or 3GS. There are a few working fixes at the moment, but the most effective is to grip the end/top of your phone and then make sure your fingers remain in contact with your head just behind your ear.

Apple are supposedly going to alter the timing delay between sonsor activation and screen activation (slowing the response to allow for more movement), but the sensitivity and focal distance don't seem to be alterable, and the issue seems to be the positioning of the sensor which obviously cannot be moved.
