IPHONE SENSOR FAILURE
If suddenly one day you receive a call and put the phone to your ear to listen, but the iPhone screen does not automatically turn off. That means the iPhone has a faulty sensor. The iPhone sensor function allows the phone screen to automatically darken when the user listens or makes a phone call. When the iPhone’s proximity sensor does not work well, you accidentally touch the screen when making a call and lead to the phone draining the battery faster. Here KFS Service will guide you how to fix iPhone sensor error extremely simple, easy and inexpensive that anyone can do.
What is sensor?
The proximity sensor is a circular dot placed next to the iPhone’s front camera. It has the effect of detecting when an object is close to the sensor. For example, every time you put your ear to the phone, the iPhone screen will automatically turn off to save battery power and avoid mistakenly clicking on the screen. Normally, the distance at which the proximity sensor can detect an approaching object is about 2-5cm. However, there are a number of specialized industrial sensors that can detect longer distances.
Causes of iPhone sensor failure
During use, your iPhone sometimes cannot avoid unnecessary errors such as sensor errors. iPhone proximity sensor error is usually due to the following reasons:
-
Screen protector, tempered glass is too thick, causing the proximity sensor functions to be hindered
-
During use, the device is dropped, bumped or soaked in water, causing damage to the sensor
-
Conflict between iPhone software affects sensor operation
-
Due to the lack of regular cleaning, the sensor gets a lot of dust and dirt, which interferes with the operation
4 ways to help fix the proximity sensor error on iPhone
Reboot the device
This is considered a “divine” solution to any unusual problems that appear on the machine. Restarting iPhone refreshes features, frees up RAM, and resolves many conflicts. To restart your iPhone, simply hold down the power button and the home button until the phone turns off. Next, you just need to restart the device after a few minutes. Then, check to see if the device’s proximity sensor is working properly again.
Check out the screen protector
The screen protector is also the “culprit” of the sensor error on the iPhone. If the problem occurs after you fix the screen on your iPhone, you can simply remove the sticker from the device. You should choose to use thin but durable stickers or stickers that leave space for the sensor to work. Besides, you should also regularly clean the proximity sensor regularly. This is an operation that helps the sensor of the machine always work well.
Restore factory settings
The next way to fix the error that users can refer to is to reinstall the device. This way, incompatible apps and software in your iPhone are also completely removed. In particular, please back up important data on the device before proceeding to reset the phone to avoid data loss when restoring the factory settings.
