My proximity sensor isn't working on my iphone 4s.
Does anyone know if this can be fixed.?
It makes using it as a phone near impossible

    Do you have a screen protector or case on it that covers it?
    Cutting a wee hole out over the sensor should fix that.

    The sensor is located above the speaker on the front.
  • No screen protector and the melkco case doesn't cover it at all

    you can buy the proximity sensor from places like ebay for £5 and replace it yourself.
