ios 7 proximity sensor not working

Same problem!!!! iOS 7.0.2 (11A501) on iPhone 5 32GB. During call time, because of this bug Speaker or Facetime activate automatically. Very very frustrating! Apple please fix it!!! But when I tested the proximity sensor with my finger it seems to be ok, but when I use the phone normally this problem happens very very often.

I have done almost every "fix" listed in this thread. Reset all settings, hard reset phone and restore and i am still having an issue with the sensor dialing while i am taking calls on the 4S. This is defintially an issue that needs to be fixed!!

Adding my voice to the general consensus. iPhone 4S, latest iOS. This stinks.

Hello,

same for me with Iphone 4 16g.

SInce upgrate to IOS7, no more sensor proximity wroking : need to hold the phone like if it touchs me it will burn my cheek, not really easy..

Of course, i tried all the fixes from this thread, but with no result

I'm wondering what could do this malfunction :

- the way to upgrade ? I was with IOS 6.1.3, I did a clean restore with itunes and after upgrade to IO7 ans after I put back my backup

- or a parameter in settings : when i have some time i'm trying to put some off and see what happens.

or an app that put mess in the ios (like siri seems to do)...but how find among about 150 apps...

I wonder if doing only a restore and as a "new phone" if it will work...

PS : be indulgent with my english, i'm french

I have an iphone 4S, "cheek dialing" like everyone here, only since the upgrade to ios 7.0.2. Very embarrassing when talking to a client - sound like an idiot. Reminds me of the days of using a landline phone and having a toddler come up and start pushing buttons. I didn't even know there was a proximity sensor since I never had this problem before. I certainly won't upgrade to a 5* version next month if this isn't fixed. For the price you pay, the Apple products should be perfect with basic functions like the phone.

GordonT100, I upgraded to the 5S. It doesn't have this problem on iOS 7.0.2. I did on my 4S.

I had the same problem . when i was in a journey faced this . Adding to the Sensor , I could not even hear other people on the call . But then , I noticed there was some thing wrong with the software as the call does not get disconnected and the screen blinks randomly while on call . This is what I have done on my Iphone 4 16gb 7.0.2

1.Reset settings - Did not work

2.I had reset the entire phone . deleted the entire data and went on to have the phone afresh

3.Activated it and restored the back up.

This fixed the problem and never faced it until now

BTW it has been a month since I have had this problem!

Did not try full reset of the device, but Reset All Settings did not solve the problem for me. iPhone4, the problem started only after 7.0.2 upgrade....

This is clearly a major bug with IOS7. Apple should fix this.

The issue happens when you accept the call and cover the proximity sensor right away (by putting the phone to your ear).

Currently, a temporary solution is to give 1 or 2 seconds after accepting call before covering the proximity censor. If you wait 1 or 2 seconds and then put the phone to your ear, the proximity sensor works.

Just came here to raise my hand also.

Same problem here. Resetted everything already without any change. I had 7.0 and now tried with 7.0.2 also and it still exists.

Same here with iOS7.02 @ iPhone 4S - and only with incoming calls.

Yep, same problem here also. iPhone 5 on iOS 7.0.2

Nothing can be done.

Same here, but, Proximity is always enabled ...

Siri is Off, but the Sensor and the "Red Light" left from Speaker is glowing after Unlock. Every time. In Dark Room i can see this,...

Complet Restore with-/out Backup don`t fix it.

So, I had the exact issue as mentioned. The proximity sensor didn't work at all. I tried all the solutions described in this thread without success (Reset settings, restore from backup).

Then I decided to call AppleCare because it's way to annoying that i couldnt make a single call without muting, holding whatsoever. They asked the usual questions whether I restored and blablabla … Without further hesitation or any other suggestion of troubleshooting, they offered a replacement iPhone which arrived earlier today.

Once again, I restored from a backup and voilá - the proximity sensor works perfectly fine. So in my case it seems like a hardware issue.

someone to know when come new update may be then, they will fix this problem
