Proximity sensor problem will not be fixed in iOS 4.1

In addition to the problem of the antenna that we no longer want to talk about, the iPhone 4 has another problem for some people involved the proximity sensor. Under certain conditions, it would not do its business and would not turn off the touchscreen at the time of the conversations: thus the cheek was then able to press certain keys. After many tests, we noted that this affected especially those who did not put completely the device to their ear. This sensor could then still detect light and would not deactivate the screen as opposed to what one had on the preceding models.
At the time of the Antennagate conference, Steve Jobs had announced that this problem would be regulated by software at the time of a future update of the iOS. According to TheNextWeb that has carried out tests  on the latest beta of this version and also on the words from the spokesman of Apple Australia, it will not be fixed in the version 4.1 of iOS. It will certainly be necessary to await another update if the problem can really be corrected by a software patch.
