Hi Chermeen,

Which phone do you have?

I would do 2 things:
First, make sure your screen is clean, e.g. wipe it with a damp cloth or if you 
have an LCD screen cleaning kit, use that.
Second, power your phone down, wait at least 30 seconds and turn it back on. 
Make sure that before you turn it off you bring up the app switcher with a 
quick double press of the home key and then close all apps.

See if this helps and let us know.


Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: Phone behaving very oddly after immediately placing a call

Hello everyone,

        So I'm experiencing a most annoying issue, and I'm wondering if it's
specific to my device or if this problem is generating enough
annoyance across the blind population to start a revolution. Anyway,
when I make a call and put the phone to my ear, one of two things
happens:
1) My face somehow presses all sorts of random buttons, so VO (or the
phone) has not recognized that the phone is against my ear. So I'll
hear things like "Three, four, seven, etc. (and the associated tones
of those buttons being pressed)" or "heading not found." or;
2) The person I'm calling will answer the phone,and unless I have the
phone very firmly pressed to my face (I'm talking like, really hard)
the phone will constantly flip back and forth between speaker and the
regular ear, causing all sorts of frustration. I have a very simple
case on my phone--and this problem seems to be present regardless of
whether or not the case is on, so I suspect it isn't an issue of my
case somehow tinkering with the proximity sensor.

Any thoughts? am I crazy? (don't answer that!) or is it my phone?

Thanks,
Shermeen
