Hello People,
The proximity sensor prevents you from accidentally interacting with
the screen while the iPhone is pressed against your ear, it switches
off the display at about 0.75-inches away; the screen switches back on
after you pull away about an inch.
I had sent an email to Adam Lippiatt off list as I was no longer
subscribed to WAMUG Mailing List.
I asked him:
"Are you using a case that may be partially blocking or blocking the
iPhone's proximity sensor?
If you are using a case, remove the case to see if the same occurs
without the case.
If the same does not occur without using the case, you need to
consider using a different case that is specifically designed to not
block the iPhone's proximity sensor."
Since then, Adam has replied to my email saying that yes, he is using
a case and that he had taken the case off the iPhone when he left it
at the service people & they could not replicate the problem.
He will now check whether it is his case causing the problem and let
us know.
Cheers,
Ronni

proximity sensor is to recognize if the phone is upright - laying flat
on table, hor or vert position, basically it can "see" if you hold &
in which way you hold the phone.....

Hi,
Presumably "proximity sensor" refers to the phone's ability to detect
the difference between when it (the touch screen) is pressed against
your ear versus when you have finished.
