Screen doesn't turn off during calls near your ear? We'll replace the faulty proximity sensor.
When do you need a proximity sensor replacement?
- The display stays on during calls and your cheek presses buttons or hangs up.
- Or the display goes dark and won't come back until the call ends.
- Auto brightness behaves erratically.
- The problem started after a display swap or after fitting a screen protector.
Looks like you need a proximity sensor replacement, but the cause is often elsewhere
- A screen protector covers the sensor next to the earpiece — try removing it.
- The problem appeared after an update — try a restart; sometimes it's software.
- If you're not sure, choose Diagnostics — we'll send you the exact repair price within 24 hours of receiving your phone. Diagnostics are free if you approve the repair; if you decline, we charge €35 for diagnostics and shipping the phone back.
