Proximty sensor not working after power cable repair.

History

Put in a new power and sensor cable as outlined here:

Installing iPhone 4 Power & Sensor Cable

Everything is working great except for the proximity sensor. The screen is not turning off when I put the phone to my ear.

The weird part is I can listen to voice mail. I.E. a voice mail will not start playing until you put the phone to your ear. When I put the phone to my ear the voice mail does start to play but the screen does not turn off.

Also I saw this post:

I checked my old cable for the filter and it did not have one. The new one did not have one either. The proximity sensor worked just great before I performed the fix on the lock button.

Has anyone else had problems with this or have any idea on what might be wrong?

Thanks in advance.

so, best to take everything apart and try and look at what might be wrong?????? Any other ideas?

The proximity sensors are usually pretty tricky little gadgets. Either it is not getting enough light or its getting too much.
