How do I stop my phone screen being activated by my face whilst making a call???

[iMore Question]

Whilst talking it will either activate the mute, speaker or face time very frustrating PJ

If you can easily replicate the issue, a visit to the Apple GeniusBar should get you some options on what to do... there's a proximity sensor that might be bad...

Quit moving around so much. Lol but if you are not moving and its happening you may need to get a replacement as it appears the sensor may be going bad on your device.
