My face keeps hitting buttons on phone

I don't like this... at all.

I am on the phone.. and my cheek keeps pressing mute.. or facetime.. or whatever it wants. It is very annoying. They need to fix this somehow..

The 3G was not this sensitive..
 
Same thing here. I've had every iPhone before this and never had this issue. I put two calls on speakerphone with my face today.
 
I started hearing the sound of someone pressing a button on their phone.. and asked the other person if that was them, and they said no. And I looked. and the dialpad was up and I was the one pressing the button.

This is TERRIBLE. I knew I should have waited to get this phone.. first time I preorder and it bites me.
 
seems like the ambient light sensor. might be the change in shape of the phone. so your holding it differently allowing the screen to turn on.
 
I haven't taken a call yet but wow all these annoying things about this phone .. you'd think that someone in Apple QA would've picked up on this along with the dropping-bars phenomenon.
 
So is Apple now forcing us to hold the phone the way they want us to?? Jeez.. nothing was wrong with the previous versions light detector thing..
 
Take the plastic off the phone? Serious? The plastic came off the phone first thing..

Must be all the extra 'photons' that its picking up.. haha
 
I have heard from an inside source that this is mainly affecting people with braces or metal plates in their head.

Check those things out.
 
The proximity sensor is what's used to determine if you have the phone against your head. The light sensor is used to determine display brightness.

Sounds like your proximity sensor is defective.
 
mine too is doing the same thing....it is p***ing me off......i called up apple and they told me to restore the phone.....it's too sensitive....
