screen turning on and off without touch
I have an iPhone, 1st gen. when phone is on the charger, everything is ok. as soon as i take it off, it starts to behave strangely...
screen keeps turning on and off every 15 seconds. you can imagine, battery doesnt last very long, after a whole day of this.
now, i have swapped the back cover, all with the buttons and connectors for the known working one. i have restored phone to factory defaults. it still behave the same.
could it be faulty proximity sensor?
or something different, i dont know, maybe a logic board.
otherwise from that, phone works like new, wifi, calls, screen... everything...
thank you all for any advice...
Update
Markus, Josh,
thanks for answers.
phone has not been placed in any cover, as far as i know. i have bought it off ebay. i have just noticed, even if i switch the phone off, it turns on automaticaly, if there is any power remaining in battery. it could be proximity sensor, but why it works even if the phone is off...
my phone dont think there is any headphones plugged in, as far as i am concerned. if i play music, it comes out of speaker. it also doesnt show any attachement connected...
i dont know, what else to do. i have promised this phone to my little cousin. but at this condition, I cannot give it to him...
anyways, thanks for advices, guys.
have a good one.
Update
i got it working, finnaly. it was that dammaged dock connector at the end... have found nice and cheap screen assembly, now phone works flawlessly...
ahem, what am i going to do, with iPhone 2G? Especially, when i have the new one... well, it goes stright to the shelf, next to other repaire stuff. i put it on ebay, maybe i just give it to someone...
Es esta una buena pregunta?

2 things coming in my mind
power switch (not the thing outside)
or
dock connector
i'm almost shure about it - fluid damage

hey, thanks for posting
i have ordered dock connector assembly from ebay, it came up to USD3.5, thats not bad. even if it isnt the right part, it is not going to hurt that much :D
What power switch do you mean, Markus? i am not aware of any other switches on the body or the guts of the iPhone 2g. if you mean the one coming with the back panel assembly, i have already swapped it for the known working one. no luck...

yeah - 3,50 won't hurt that badly and yes - i ment that power switch (even if it does not look like a switch - it is one ;-). lets hope that the new dock will fix it
