iPhone Touch Screen: Hanging Up On People

[lilnyc]

This isn't a complaint -- just funny sort of. Because of the iPhone's touch screen, it's easy to TOUCH the End Call. I have done this a few times and found myself with some 'splaining to do, LOL. I'm like, "I didn't mean t hang up on you, I just picked up my phone! It's an iPhone with a touch screen and I, it, uh, nevermind."

Has anyone else found themselves 'touching' the wrong button and hanging up on folks?

weird, mine turns the screen off once it gets too close.

When I got my phone I was making some calls to try it out, and was testing speaker phone and wanted to see what happened when I hit the sleep wake button. I hung up on my friend. I have also pushed the end call button a few times on accident. Now I know the interface pretty well so dont hit many wrong buttons.

I've slipped a couple of times myself, but then again - I've hung up on people trying to open my RAZR and having it flop closed instead of open.

There's always going to be something to get used to.

Once. This is one of those situations where I like the 'slide to unlock'.

Here here. That has happened to me a couple of times with my Razr. Hopefully soon I won't be dealing with that anymore.

every time i'm on call and when iphone speaker gets covered by anything (usually ur ear) the screen turns off and it's impssible to press anything at all.. it's been made smart

It shouldn't be doing that unless your IPhones proximity sensor stopped working?

When you lift iPhone to your ear, the proximity sensor immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches until iPhone is moved away. Another power-saving feature is the ambient light sensor. This intelligent sensor automatically adjusts the display’s brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light.

The proximity sensor is at the top. If you go from the bottom it wont activate.
