Another Problem…
Proximity Sensor Issues of the iPhone 4
More and more problems tend to creep in with the iPhone 4. Even if it is one of the most
popular smartphones available on the market, the iPhone 4 poses a problem to its users.
Common Problems about the iPhone 4:
1. Death Grip
2. Antenna Gate Issue
3. Scratch Screens
4. Cracked Screens
5. Accident-Prone Glass Panels
6. Signal Disruption
7. Yellow dots on the screen
8. Lagging
9. Overheating
10. Drop calls
And now, an addition to these problems is the proximity sensor issue.
Before we go to what this issue is about, let’s first define what exactly a proximity sensor is.
From the word proximity, the proximity sensor detects if the iPhone 4 is near the users ear. If
this happens, it will black out the display and appears to lock the phone when the user is talking
on the phone during call time.

2. This is to prevent any accidental occurrences just like ending the call, dialing another number or
putting the call on hold. This is also a feature that lessens the use of battery when there’s a call
and it was also said to lessen the radiation
Proximity sensors are actually one of the many things that iPhone users like about the iPhone.A
simple yet very efficient and reliable feature.
But just when the iPhone 4 turned four months old, there were a number of users complaining
about the proximity sensors of their iPhone 4.
Some are saying that it was not working at all and they have noticed that the rearing culprit of
having drop calls is because of the inefficiency of the iPhone’s proximity sensors.
People tend to dial or cancel their call with their cheek while the iPhone 4 is cradling their
heads during a call. That is why they experience great annoyance and discomfort during their
iPhone use.
In online discussion boards, a lot of users have become frustrated about what the proximity
sensors should be doing when they are about to call or answer the phone. They say that Apple
should be able to fix their problem or else, this might lead to other issues that might affect the
iPhone series negatively.
Now, let’s mention the problems with dropped calls. When the first complaints about having
drop calls appeared, the proximity sensors were not an issue, this was because some people
claimed that the signal disruption from their carrier and the iPhone 4 was a problem in itself.
There were reports about the antenna gate being the culprit and then various additional issues
like discrimination surfaced. Apple’s malady with the iPhone 4 hiccups seemed to become a
nightmare as they say that Apple has made a major mistake about their design.

3. This is specifically a bad thing since Apple make their
designs, both hardware and software on their own. If
problems continue with the iPhone 4, what will the
people expect from the iPhone 5? Or even with the iPad
3?
Some people claim that Apple seems to lack on more
preventive testing for failure with their products
nowadays. This is really bad for Apple’s image and its
products.
There were a lot of rumors on the internet saying that perhaps, there were no problems with
the antenna and it is only the proximity sensors that is not working well with the iPhone when it
is functioning.
If Apple was said to fix the problems with certain software or anything that can correct it, then
Steve Jobs might not have to say that the iPhone 4 is not for the left-handed.
Being able to touch the controls of the iPhone accidentally can really cause dropped calls. Even
if there is such low signal, we can still make use of the calling and texting capabilities of the
phone, so there is a great chance that the proximity sensor might just be the offender here.
The proximity sensor can really be a pain when people are calling other people especially when there
are sensitive things in discussion. Say for example, when business people talk. Apple has to patch things
up before the situation gets worse.
Apple must be able to prevent more unhappy customers from surfacing and commenting awfully on
blogs. Even if Apple is big, a monolith in the electronics industry, they still should not neglect issues
about their products. They must know better. After all, Goliath was defeated by a small stone, from a
small and simple man named David.
