iPhone 4 Network Settings Reset Not a Cure for Proximity Sensor Problem (blank screen during a call)

The iPhone 4 has quickly gained a Twitter-like reputation for being a great tool that is also incredibly flaky. The iPhone 4, like the iPhone 3G I previously used, is not my primary voice phone because of a combination of a poor phone interface and spotty AT&T network service (notice the “Searching” network status in the screenshot above). However, I do use it to make voice calls now and then just to see it works and to burn a few minutes a month to justify my monthly AT&T bill.

Like other iPhone 4 users, I’m a victim of its poorly implemented proximity sensor.
