iPhone screen shuts off when in voicemail

My buzz works altogether accomplished except if I go to accept to my voicemail the awning goes blank. Regardless of if I am on apostle buzz or not, the awning will go bare and annihilation I can do will accompany the alarm aback up. I accept to lock the phone, again columnist the home button to get the awning back. Sometimes if I agilely tap the buzz it comes on for a abrupt additional again goes aback to blank.

I accept noticed that if I am on a buzz alarm and the awning is declared to go blank, it fades discretely to a bare awning again comes aback if I yield the buzz off my ear. If the awning goes bare on the voicemail awning it shuts off like anyone is affairs the bung on it – its actual weird.

My aboriginal 3G iPhone had a similiar botheration with all calls I dialed or received. That buzz was exchanged for a new one eventually as the Fido rep could not fix the issue.

Anyone accept any ideas?

I accept adequate the phone, got the latest software, displace it etc…


Your botheration is mentioned in this forum. It’s is due to the adjacency sensor. It’s not defective, it’s just that your awning protector is blocking the sensor in the articulation mail. Because Angel did not architecture it able-bodied enough, they should about-face off the adjacency sensor in the articulation mail card again turns on if user baddest to play the mail.

I had this botheration afore by application the Griffin Wave case awning protector on top. After calling their tech support, they are accommodating to address me a changeless adhering blur which can break the adjacency sensor problem.


Thanks! This is absolutely the botheration I was accepting (with a Griffin Wave).

I took it afar and reseated the awning protecter and it seems to be alive accomplished now.


If you accept time, alarm Griffin and address this botheration to them. I advance you should NOT use the awning protector they accept provided to you. It not alone allows dust to get it, but aswell accept bad bubble diffraction. Small dust that is harder than the iPhone’s bottle may in fact able to blemish it, so at the end it’s not a awning protector but a dust blemish film.

Call Griffin chump support, they are accommodating to forward you adhering awning protectors to you for FREE because of their architecture flaw.


Same botheration here. Neither the boutique ‘tech’ guys nor angel abutment had a clue. Worked it out myself. And accede with all the comments about the harder (perspex or polycarbonate) awning getting usless. Just curtains dust underneath.
