can someone please explain to me what this proximity sensor thing is? I dont know if i have problem with mine or not coz I dont know what it is or what to look for.
It turns the screen off when you press your face against it during a call so nothing unintentional is done.

If dumb people get too close to your phone, a beeping starts. It starts off slowly and gets faster the dumber and closer they get.
It's actually to let the phone know when you are on a "call" via the handset to blackout and disable the touch screen.

It's also used with some apps, not just calls I suppose. Like Siri, Google mobile etc.
