Text Messages and Proximity Sensor

[iLive an iLife]

Just noticed a really weird bug. Whenever I'm in a text and cover the proximity sensor, my screen shuts off. It only happens whenever I'm in the messages app though. Has anyone experienced this? Really really strange.

Nothing like that here. Did you do an update or a clean install?

Well I just did a soft reset and it seems to have cured the problem. Guess it was a glitch.

Am experiencing this same issue as we speak!! Wasn't sure what iLive an iLife meant by soft reset. Just did the "reset all settings". Seems to have worked. Maybe this is what was meant.

Just tested this and I don't get this... Must have been a glitch?

It's not a glitch. If you have "Raise to Speak" toggled on under Settings > General > Siri then the keyboard (not just the messages app. Any app with the default iOS keyboard) thinks you're trying to dictate if you raise it to your ear (or cover the sensor).

If it's off and still happens, then i don't know, must be a glitch.
