iPhone 4 proximity sensor problems SOLUTION - GSM-Forum

Hello.

Works great on black panels and white conversion. usually happen after screen replace into the copy touch panel (nice trick to test if you use copy or original)

Solution: glue black tape with two small holes for the proximity sensors - one for IR transmitter and one for receiver. Glue the tape just above speaker gasket. Place your display - now proximity will work perfect. Will upload a photo later - don´t have a phone now.

I think it will solve also lot of iPhone 4 bad battery issues for talkative people

sollution with black sticker did not work for me on an iphone converted in white. for me the sollution was to take a black marker an collor the tiny window black at the rear (look picture) and it worked...

once collored with marker the light can still go through, you can check if you hold it up into the light.

If the phone had any impact or was dropped it is possible that the sensor itself or its flex cable is damaged too.

Guys, there are 2 issues:

1. A brand new LCD replacement that bought from whoever (Like a chineese suppliaer etc):
I expereineced mostly white color LCD's that the Sensor did not work with the LCD's replacement parts.

2. Sensor - After replacing sensor flex (Same flex for Power button) - the sensor did not work.

Thanks

In my case the problem was humidity, just warmed with a hair dryer and works again.
