The Problem

Your iPhone 15 Pro Max proximity sensor is not working causing the screen to stay on during calls or fail to wake when moved away from your ear. This can lead to accidental touches and poor call experience.

Common symptoms include:

  • Screen doesn't turn off when phone is held to ear
  • Screen doesn't wake up when moving phone away from ear
  • Accidental button presses during phone calls
  • Face detection not working properly
  • Screen brightness not adjusting based on proximity
  • Auto-lock not functioning during calls

Our Solution

We provide iPhone 15 Pro Max proximity sensor repair including sensor replacement, calibration, and software configuration. Our service restores proper screen behavior during calls and proximity-based functions.

Why choose professionals:

  1. 72% DIY failure rate because proximity sensor is integrated with Face ID TrueDepth camera system—misalignment during removal causes permanent Face ID failure requiring $600+ screen assembly replacement
  2. Professional diagnostic equipment and multimeter testing tools verify sensor electrical values and calibration accuracy across all proximity detection ranges, ensuring proper screen behavior during calls
  3. Common mistakes include damaging delicate sensor flex cables during disassembly (requires $500+ flex cable assembly replacement), misaligning sensor causing Face ID malfunction (voids AppleCare+ coverage), and failing to recalibrate iOS proximity settings after installation
  4. Our genuine Apple proximity sensors maintain proper iOS integration with automatic screen off/on functionality, while aftermarket sensors cause erratic behavior, inconsistent detection, and iOS update compatibility issues
  5. We calibrate proximity sensors for accurate face detection across all lighting conditions, test screen response timing during calls, and verify TrueDepth camera system integration—procedures requiring expensive specialized calibration equipment
  6. Same-day proximity sensor repair available—DIY attempts risk permanent Face ID damage and missing underlying logic board issues affecting multiple sensors simultaneously

When we all depend so heavily on our iPhones for so many reasons, when something is wrong, we have to get it fixed before we lose all of our information inside it, it can be stressful and caused lots of anxiety! I read and write reviews all over the country because I am a truck driver and when I found this review about GIZMO DEPOT,INC , and all of the other great reviews, that made my decision to come here and I’m so happy I did! THE OWNER AND OPERATOR’S NAME IS NA!! Yes NA, and she is so wonderful with such a beautiful smile and a great personality to go with it! She she is so reassuring and trustworthy, when you drop your phone off, and might have to have a little extra work done in 24 hours, you have complete reassurance that when you get it back everything including many important emails are still going to be accessible! Na assured me and made me know without a doubt that my two week HAWAII HONEYMOON vacation, and all my emails would be exactly where I left them! So , of course they were! When we drop our phones and the glass in the back is cracked, really badly, and she has to completely take that off, clean the entire phone by taking everything out, also inserting a new battery as requested and screensaver, to me the challenge of that type of job is indescribable and I’m so glad I found Na to do it!! I absolutely highly recommend everything that she does to fix all of your devices! Her expertise and knowledge of doing this here at this location for over 14 years is proof, of her wonderful service! Thanks so much again NA !! I will be telling everybody I know, if they ever need service, to come to see you first! I appreciate you! YOU ARE THE BEST!

Na is the best! I needed my xbox series x cleaned and she explained everything thoroughly and insisted on testing before and after the cleaning. great prices and even greater results in a short time! will definitely come again :)

The lady running this is excellent! Unfortunately with this review, there isn't more than 5 starts but should be at least 10 stars!!!! Very helpful, knowledgeable and gets to the bottom or real issues quickly and is reasonable cost for diagnostic services. Identifies real issues where phone carrier store people generally do not find real equipment issues, especially on older phones!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't my iPhone screen turn off during calls?

This is typically caused by a faulty proximity sensor, blocked sensor area, or software calibration issues requiring professional diagnosis and repair.

Can screen protectors affect the proximity sensor?

Yes, thick or poorly designed screen protectors can interfere with proximity sensor function. We test without protectors to isolate issues.

Will proximity sensor repair affect Face ID?

The proximity sensor and Face ID use different components, but both are in the same area. Proper repair preserves Face ID functionality.

How do I test if my proximity sensor is working?

During a call, cover the top of the phone near the earpiece. The screen should turn off when covered and on when uncovered.
