Sometimes while talking on a call, the screen goes black. I can continue the conversation, but can't hang up or access anything on the screen. Tapping on the screen, or the button is uneffective. I just have to wait till it recovers, which can take a minute or two, or turn the phone off. Anybody else experience this?
iPhone 3GS, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
The screen is supposed to go black when held against the face on a call, to stop buttons getting pressed. If it is not coming back quickly when you move it away, it may be that the phone needs a reset or a restore. Some phone cases interfere with the proximity sensor, so if you are using a case, remove and see if it still happens. It could also be a hardware fault, which would mean getting in touch with Apple.
As your phone is jailbroken there are so many possibilities that it is impossible to diagnose. The fact that it is hacked can cause innumerable problems.

Nobody, I was trying to correct my original post but auto correct reigned again!
Most of the time this symptom is caused by a case that blocks light from getting to the proximity sensor. So the first troubleshooting step is to remove the case.
I tried factory resetting my phone in hopes that it would fix this problem but it didn't...
I have same problem but dont have a fix, as of yet
Where is proximity sensor, just for my education?
