    Default iPhone 4 proximity sensor causing cheek hangups?

    Some more issues are popping up with iPhone 4 users. Seems the proximity sensors are a little less sensitive than their predecessors, causing hang-ups from people who hold the iPhone close to their ear, move it slightly away and then touch their cheek to it.

    It's not that they're less sensitive, it's that some of them are defective. I'd like to suggest returning your handset if you are experiencing this issue.
