| ![]() I started using my iPhone 4 since this morning; a while ago I was on a call and suddenly the speakerphone turned on; I investigated and to my utter shock I figured out that the proximity sensor wasn't working and the screen remained ON during the call. I have had 5 calls since morning and the screen didn't turn off on any of them. This is a serious issue. I googled and found it to be a very common problem. Has anyone experienced it? Any solution/workaround? |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Of late, I have this strange issue. Sometimes, when I get a call, the answer swipe just hangs. I am unable to slide the screen to answer. I can silence the phone, but cant answer. Is this a common issue? |

| ![]() I have had this issue when I was using the 3g. Try answering after you silence the phone or press hard on the green tab and then swipe, worked for me. If nothing works, try a restore. |

1. I click the power switch at the top and then try. 2. If that doesn't work, I press the home button once and then try. 3. I then tap some other part of the screen and then try the swipe again. Hope this helps. | |

| ![]() @sheetumanu Why do you need a screen protector first of all..I own a 3GS with no protector and its now a year old, not a single scratch on it. Its the Gorilla glass with is scratch resistant. Initially, I did use a protector on my iPod Touch, but for some reason, I missed the smoothness of the UI. Can you remove it and check? If still the same, you can call up Apple. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Yes, Gorilla Glass is very much scratch proof. After some 6 months of harrasment by my Son, still My iPhone4 doesn't have a single scratch. One day he just rubbed my phone in the floor. I was like ![]() But seeing the phone there's not a single scratch. God Saves Me that day. It's very strong enough to handle the daily chaos and mishandling some what. Great going iPhone4 and Awaiting iPhone5 ![]() |
