If I was having a problem with my phone, returned it, and it continued--I'd either return it for a refund or see what "I" am doing to potentially cause it. In the last few pages, I've seen nothing of the sort but a lot of meandering filled with conjectural pithy comments.
As an anecdote, I'm not having any problems with my iP4 proximity sensor nor is anyone else that I know who owns an iP4. _I've only replicated this issue if I hold the phone almost diagonally to my ear, or almost barely over my ear._ That said, after reading some of the brazen comments, I'm guessing this is an issue but not with the iPhone 4 itself. I also got a big kick out of those who already returned the phone but somehow haven't been able to let go, and move on with their lives.
Returning a phone over and over thinking you will get a new result every time can only mean one thing....
*Definition of OCD*
_Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)_ is an illness that causes unwanted, recurrent thoughts and/or behaviors that are distressing to the affected individual. Obsessions are recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are usually intrusive or inappropriate and tend to cause significant anxiety. Examples of obsessions include fear of contamination, _need for exactness_, preoccupation with religion, or _excessive feelings of responsibility_. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental rituals. Some examples of compulsions are handwashing, ordering, checking, praying, counting, repeating words or phrases to oneself, and following rules rigidly. An individual with OCD will often perform these compulsive acts with the hope of preventing or diminishing his obsessions.
*How do I know if I have OCD?*
People who have OCD find themselves becoming overwhelmed by their obsessions and compulsions. Individuals with OCD may spend as much as an hour or more on any given ritual, e.g. washing hands or checking locks. Their time-consuming rituals or obsessions often reach a level of severity that significantly interferes with their ability to function normally. Hygiene, work, and social activities may all be adversly affected as the person feels the need to spend more and more time on their rituals.
Screening tests offer a means of assessing whether you have a profile similar to that of an individual with OCD. However, a consultation with a psychiatrist, behavioral therapist, or other mental health professionals will often provide you with a more definitive diagnosis.

There is only one fix that works for sure 100%
Take your IP4 back to place of purchase and get your money back before it's to late.
Re Activate your 3gs, and if you sold yours, buy another one.
Still a great phone.

Here's a curious little thought... the first half of this thread, discussing a problem with the iPhone, was locked at 116 pages, 1689 replies because it was becoming too long and locking browsers. I can understand that completely, however how come the July 14th shipping date thread at 163 pages and 2400 replies is still going?
Just found that curious.

Well, Apple is sending me a new phone, they are aware of the problem and the "engineers" are looking into it.
I specifically asked, "if there is a hardware redesign, would my phone be replaced", and was told likely.
From what I gathered from speaking to two different CS people, Apple knows about this issue and is trying to figure out what the problem is, they just aren't speaking about it publicly. Maybe bad QC from the proximity sensor vendor, hopefully #2 will work. I ordered mine on 6/14 and received it on the 24th, so I'm cutting it close on the 30-Day return, and Apple said they didn't know if AT&T would accept a replacement phone I got from Apple. I wanted it from Apple stocks, in case AT&T has a Warehouse someplace, figured I'd get the newest built phone possible. I have my finger's crossed.
