Anyone else having a problem with the proximity sensor?

Yes, and the fix is very simple. And you need to do is....

 

I've seen people have problems when using some screen protectors. Do you have one on your phone? Maybe its the problem.

 

Yep. Started (among other problems) after the iOS7 update. And I don't want to hear that it's the case or the screen protector. Neither are in the way. And it worked fine before the update.

This is on an iphone 5 (T-mobile version). It's now "cheek dialing" and turns on the speaker phone randomly.

Tried all sorts or restarts and resets.

 

This same issue was in ios initial releases. It was hard to repeat so lots thought it didn't exist. With each patch Apple would fine tune the sensitivity of the seniors and eventually it became stable. I remember when I had to adjust how I held the device or or would always mute on me, so this is nothing new and will get worked out in the end. I just hope sooner, as though I don't have this issue my wife does and it is annoying when trying the talk to her on the phone to be muted or face dialed.

 

It's happened to me often enough - I'll be on a call, and it'll suddenly switch to speakerphone mode, or mute my mic.

 

I'm using a Verizon iPhone 5...no problems at all with the proximity sensor.

 

I had something similar occur with my 5s - was at grocery store waiting in the deli line. I hear my phone beep. I pull the phone from my pocket and come to find out there was a missed call only a moment earlier and somehow a text was sent indicating that I was busy, what's up? The phone had a mind of its own. My hands were nowhere near my pocket. I'm still baffled how this happened.
