iPhone proximity sensor repair and replacement

We repair the proximity sensor on every iPhone Apple still has in people's pockets, from the iPhone 17 lineup back to the iPhone 6. Sensor flex assemblies for current and recent models are stocked in our Glendale shop, so most repairs are finished in a single visit. Whether the screen stays lit on calls, goes black and won't wake, or the sensor broke after a screen replacement, the fix starts the same way: a free diagnostic to see whether the sensor is blocked, misaligned, or has failed.

Prefer not to come in? We accept mail-in sensor repairs from anywhere in the Los Angeles area, with the same parts, warranty, and turnaround once your phone reaches the bench.

What the proximity sensor does and why it fails

The proximity sensor is a tiny infrared emitter and detector at the top of the screen, next to the earpiece and front camera. During a call it senses your face and turns the screen off so your cheek can't touch buttons, then turns it back on when you pull the phone away. On Face ID iPhones it lives on the front sensor flex behind the display. The usual causes of failure are a screen replacement that left adhesive or a gap over the sensor window, a screen protector or case cut in the wrong place, a drop that shifted the sensor, and liquid that corroded the flex.

How much does iPhone proximity sensor repair cost?

Cleaning and realigning a blocked sensor is a flat $25. A proximity sensor flex replacement runs $39 to $109 depending on the model. Tap your model above for the exact live price, or use this guide:

Why Glendale chooses Pro iPhone Repair for sensor repair

Proximity sensor repairs on modern iPhones mean lifting the display and working next to the front camera, Face ID, and the earpiece. We do this every day, we keep the original Face ID hardware in place, and we test all of it after reassembly. Often the sensor only needs to be cleaned and reseated, and we'll say so. We've been repairing iPhones in Glendale since 2008, and if you've been searching for "iPhone proximity sensor repair near me" anywhere in Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, or the foothills, our customer reviews will tell you what to expect.

What a proximity sensor repair here includes

Free sensor diagnostic

We test the sensor on a live call, inspect the sensor window and the screen seating, and check the flex before quoting.

Cleaning and realignment

Dust, adhesive, or a misplaced protector is cleared from the sensor window and the sensor is reseated behind the display.

Flex replacement when needed

The display is lifted and the front sensor flex with the proximity sensor is replaced; the original Face ID hardware stays in the phone.

Everything up top tested

Proximity sensor, earpiece, front camera, Face ID, and the ambient light sensor before the phone leaves the bench.

Limited lifetime warranty

Every sensor flex replacement is covered against part and workmanship defects for life.

Check these before you come in

If the problem started with a new screen protector or case, take it off and try a call: a protector cut too close to the earpiece or a case lip over the sensor window is a common cause. Wipe the top of the screen with a clean microfiber cloth to clear grime from the sensor window, then restart the phone. If the screen still stays on against your ear, or goes black and stays black on calls, bring it in for the free diagnostic.

Built around the customer, not the ticket

Every job starts with a free diagnostic and ends with a real test. The price you were quoted is the price you pay. You'll get a text when the phone is ready, you can follow progress with our repair tracker, and if the repair ever fails to hold up, the limited lifetime warranty means you bring it back and we make it right.

Proximity Sensor Repair: FAQs

How much does it cost to fix an iPhone proximity sensor?

Cleaning and realigning a blocked sensor is $25. A proximity sensor flex replacement runs $39 to $109 depending on the model. The free diagnostic tells you which one you need before anything is charged.

Why does my screen stay on during calls?

The proximity sensor isn't detecting your face. It's blocked by a protector, case, or adhesive, misaligned after a screen replacement, or has failed. We find out which in the free diagnostic.

Why does my screen go black during calls and not come back?

The sensor is stuck reporting that something is close. Usually a failed or corroded flex. Replacing the sensor flex fixes it.

My proximity sensor stopped working after a screen replacement. Can you fix it?

Yes. That's one of the most common causes we see. The sensor is usually blocked by adhesive or seated with a gap. We clean and reseat it, and replace it if it was damaged during the other repair.

How long does a proximity sensor repair take?

Cleaning and realignment takes about 15 minutes. A flex replacement takes about 45 minutes, since the display has to be lifted to reach the sensor.

Will the repair affect Face ID?

No. The proximity sensor sits next to the Face ID hardware, but we keep your original Face ID components in place and test Face ID, the front camera, and the earpiece after reassembly.

Will I lose my data during the repair?

No. A sensor repair doesn't touch your storage, and we never erase or reset a device to fix a sensor.

Is there a warranty on proximity sensor repair?

Every sensor flex replacement comes with our limited lifetime warranty against part and workmanship defects. Accidental, physical, and liquid damage after the repair are not covered.

Do I need an appointment?

No. Walk-ins are welcome Monday to Saturday at 225 E Broadway, Suite 102D in downtown Glendale. Booking online reserves your time and makes sure the sensor flex for your model is pulled before you arrive.
