The Problem

Your iPhone 16 Plus screen doesn't turn off during calls, causing accidental touches and battery drain.

Common symptoms include:

  • Screen stays on during calls
  • Accidental button presses
  • Face triggers apps during calls
  • Ear activates screen options

Our Solution

We diagnose and repair the proximity sensor to restore automatic screen deactivation during calls.

Why choose professionals:

  1. DIY proximity sensor repairs have 75% failure rate because the sensor shares flex cable with Face ID—damage causes permanent "Face ID Not Available" requiring $500+ TrueDepth camera replacement
  2. Requires expensive specialized infrared testing equipment and light detection calibration tools to verify proper sensor range and response times
  3. Common DIY mistakes include breaking the delicate ambient light sensor requiring $200+ additional repair, damaging the earpiece speaker during disassembly, or incorrect calibration causing call audio routing failures
  4. Our certified repairs maintain Face ID functionality and proper sensor calibration—aftermarket sensors commonly fail iOS proximity detection requirements or interfere with True Tone display
  5. Professional testing ensures proper integration with call management and display control—DIY repairs commonly cause intermittent failures, delayed screen response, or complete sensor framework errors
  6. Same-day service available with full sensor testing—restore proper call functionality faster than risking Face ID damage with DIY attempts

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

Will this affect Face ID?

No—proper repair maintains Face ID functionality as sensors share same flex cable assembly.

Can proximity sensor be replaced separately?

Yes—skilled repair can replace just the proximity sensor without affecting Face ID components.

How do you test proximity sensor?

We perform call testing and infrared detection verification to ensure proper screen deactivation.

Does this fix accidental call hang-ups?

Yes—proper proximity detection prevents face touches from ending calls or triggering options.
