iphone 4 just announced.

It's the sensor up near the earpiece that turns off the screen when you are talking on the phone. I have read this a huge problem, mine does it too. When it doesn't work right you are dialing numbers with your face. Hoping 4.2 makes it better.

The problem people have is that it doesn't sense when something is close to it, not the opposite. If it were a problem with it being dirty, I would think that it would be difficult to get the screen to turn on, while this is the opposite problem.

Also, mine does it too, and mine is as clean as a whistle.

Nah, I can't afford to be on the blueface replacement plan.

It's still a great phone, but while it's the "best" iphone yet, it also has more of those little annoying problem than my others combined.

I've had some issues with the proximity sensor as well in the past.
I haven't pressed any buttons by accident in a while, though. Maybe I've learned to hold it against my face better.

Ok. So I hit mute today with my face while talking to my wife.
So I guess it is still an issue with me.

I wish I could mute my wife sometimes.
