My calculator is in a folder entitled "Utilities". I'm not sure whether it
was always that way or whether I put it there.

I think that's the default place for the calculator utilizes along with the clock and voice memo and compass.

That's where it may be IF YOU ALREADY PUT IT THERE YOURSELF.
There is no "default" Utilities folder.

Since I never remember where it is, I use Spotlight Search, enter "calc", and let the iPhone find it form me.

There is a Utilities folder in a new iPhone 4S. And the Calculator app is in there.

The proximity sensor should not affect volume or mute, only display.

The mute and volume buttons are on the side of the iPhone, and are physical buttons. not virtual.

The proximity sensor should not be affect the volume or mute.

What model iPhone and iOS are you using?

First: Come on people READ before you respond!
The origanal poster said in the post " Speaker or Mute ". There was nothing about volume. Those ARE on the screen and if the screen is "on" you can touch them with your ear ( Or cheek ).

Second: My wife finds that she touches parts of the screen during a call. It apears it has to do with how she holds the iPhone. Try and pay attention to how you hold the iPhone. I have noticed if I allow the Mic end of my iPhone to get too far from my face the screen will "wake up".

If the proximity sensor fails to turn off the screen when the iPhone is proximate to your face, your ear or your cheek may mute the iPhone by touching the screen.

There is a virtual mute key on the face of the screen during calls.

If you're on a call and your cheek touched the 'mute' button on the screen, it does affect it. Sorry, but changing the Otterbox case from the 4 to the 4S model (I had the 4 and now have the 4S iPhone) did in fact make a difference.

Look into iDots. These are gloves with the touch-screen stuff on the tips for people in cold climates.
I believe Isotoner gloves have this. As do many Motorcycle gloves these days.

Thanks. I didn't know there was a proximity sensor. This makes a lot of sense as I also experience the problem of the screen switching off when I'm on a call and I can't get into the phone if I need to find something. I think it's something to do with the case as part of the case wraps around the front of the phone top and bottom with magnets at the bottom to hold the flap closed when not in use.

BTW. It's an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.

I don't understand what is happening. I tried your steps and they seam to rork fine, however you can save your self steps (and avoid this problem) if you just "start" typing the name of the person you want to text. The software will auto fill the name field as you type, from there you can select the one you want from the list. As for phone calls I have no idea.

Re: Charging cord for my iPhone

I got my iPhone 4S in November and the charging cord failed last week. This is my third iPhone, and the first time I have had a cord fail. I'm a dedicated Apple user - I have an iPad, a MacBook Pro, and an iPod, and this is the first time I've had such a simple part fail, but after walking through the service section at Apple.com, I decided it was easier to just buy a couple of new ones at Amazon than go through the process of returning the defective one to Apple to get a replacement.

I am a bit disappointed, though.

I got an iPod Nano about 4 years ago, an iPhone 3 years ago, 4 subsequent iPhones and 2 iPads. Most of their charging/sync cords are in regular use, 5 of them daily. None have failed.

Is it possible to damage them? Of course. Apparently, it is also easy to avoid damaging them.

It should be easy. Just bring it in and they replace it with a new one. Unless you are several miles away from an Apple Store.
