After last OS update, my iPhone 4 is dropping more calls or I can hear the other person but they can't hear me

My signal (ATT) on my iPhone 4 seems to have gotten worse since the last OS update. In addition, frequently during a conversation, we can initially hear one another then they stop hearing me speak although I can hear them perfectly clear. Is this happening to anyone else? Is there anything I can do to correct. The problem seems to be getting considerably worse.

TS1630 I can't speak into my I phone 3G... I can hear the other person, but they just can't hear me.. Recently I tried to unscrew the bottom of my iPhone, is that maybe the reason? Also, my home or lock botton doesn't work.

I can't speak into my iPhone 3G. Others can hear me, and I can hear music when I want, but I just can't speak into it. I was recording a video a few days ago and
I couldn't hear the video, but the image was still on the screen. A while back I tried to unscrew the bottom of my iPhone so I could see the lock button because it wasn't working. Is that maybe the issue?

TS3367 Using FaceTime between 2 iPhone 4s I can hear the other person but we only see ourselves, how do we see the other person

Using FaceTime between 2 iPhone 4s I can hear the other person but we only see ourselves, how do we see the other person

Once the connection is made you should automatically see the other person full screen, with a small inset picture of yourself. Normally you only see yourself full screen after you initiate the call prior to the other person accepting it. Are you both connected to wi-fi and are you initiating the call by tapping the FaceTime button on the other person's contact?

When making or receiving calls on my iPhone 4, I can hear the person on the other end, but they can't hear me. This happens most of the time, but occaisionally, it works! Sometimes it starts during the call...Can you help me?

Infos:
IPhone 4, 32 GB
IOS 7.1.2
Problem:
Videos, memos and other sound microphone using applications work without any problem. It just appears when calling or being called. Sometimes it starts during the call.
Situation:
I sent my damaged IPhone 4 to apple for reparation. I bought it for 180 € + 20 € for my retailer.
Some calls later this problem started (only at the new or repaired IPhone). My 3 month warranty is almost over (4 weeks left)
Steps to solve the problem:
- rebootet the IPhone several times
- made a backup (iCloud and ITunes) and recovered it again
- I set back all settings to standard.
--> Nothing changed
Then I went to my retailer, who sent it to Apple, but I just received a sheet of paper where they said, they did nothing.
Surprisingly the problem still exists. Started at the second call I received. Now the warranty time is going to run out in 4 weeks.
Open Questions:
What else can I do? I have a not working IPhone and nobody want's to help me ?!? I feel lost and disappointed. Do they want to cheat me, so my warranty runs out? Thanks for any help

When making a call I suddenly can't hear the other person but my iphone 4 says it's still connected

Phone is on orange contract and today during calls I can't hear the other person and the phone thinks we are still connected. Help please!

I've got that problem too sometimes. I think it's a mistake in iOS and it will be fixed in another iOS-update

I'm trying to update my iPhone and it's connected to my computer through the usb port, but my iPhone is still saying to plug it into iTunes. How do I fix it?

I just bought this iPhone 4S second hand and during incoming and outgoing calls I can't hear the other person talk unless it's on speaker or if I have headphones in. I don't know what to do I've turned up my volume and checked my settings!! Need help

I Just bought a second hand iPhone 4S I am having issues with the hearing during incoming and outgoing calls, I have turned the volume up and checked my settings but I still have trouble hearing the other person speak. It works if it's on speaker or if I have headphones plugged in. I need help desperately!!!!! Any suggestions on what to do???

Hey Itsanaasaunders,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues hearing sound while on a call (receiver wise, not speakerphone). The following resource provides troubleshooting steps for this symptom:
If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203800
Clear the receiver
The iPhone receiver won't work properly if it's blocked or dirty. Here's where the receiver is:
Follow these steps, testing after each:
- Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver, such as a case or film.
If you have a new iPhone, remove the plastic film on the front and back of the device.
- Check the receiver opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the receiver opening with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
- While you're on a call, turn on speakerphone. If you still can't hear, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try calling again later or from a different location.
Restart and update
1. Restart your iPhone and test again.
2. If there's still no sound or poor sound quality, update to the latest version of iOS.
Get more help
If you've tried these steps and there's still no sound or poor sound quality from your iPhone, contact Apple Support.
Thanks,

GE 31591GE - cannot hear the other person after co...

Hi,
I am using a Skype GE phone 31591GE.
Since couple of weeks, only with the contacts that updated their skype version, the sound stops after couple of seconds of conversation. The other person is still able to hear me when the event happens.
With other skype users, with older SW version, it keeps working well.
On the GE phone, it is shown that it has the last updated version.
Could you please advise a solution?
Thank you!

Hi,
Thanks for dealing with this issue.
Basicaly, the problem started with the Skype updates from Mid-July. Any Skype version released from Mid-July on, has this issue.
If my understanding is correct, it is the same issue with:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Hardware/FreeTalk-ConnectMe-adapter-problem-noise-instead-of-normal/td...
"If you enable "tech info" on another side, than you can see: at few first seconds encoding sample rate (SR) is e-8 000 Hz, then changed to 12 000 Hz or 16 000 Hz."
So fixing this issue might solve many other problems.
Thank you!

IPhone 5 iOS 7.1.4 Call failed every time when the other person hung up before me

iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4 says Call failed every time when the other person hung up before me,
Is there anything I can do to about that please?

Hey there Yonidawit,
It sounds like you are are getting a message saying that the call failed, when the person you are talking to hangs up. I have a few things to recommend here. First close all the open apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and test it out again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that does not resolve it, try resetting your network settings:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How do I import music using homeshare with iTunes 11...I can see the shared libraries but I can't drag and drop and there is no import button. Thanks!

How do I import music using homeshare with iTunes 11...I can see the shared libraries but I can't drag and drop and there is no import button. Thanks!

Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

On the iPhone 5/5s, can you hear the other person properly when they are lying down?

When I use the iPhone 5s while lying down in bed, the other person is unable to hear me. When someone who is using the iPhone 5s is lying down in bed, I cannot hear them.
Is this a known issue? Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does anyone know what causes this issue? I actually used to have this same issue with the HTC One, and I was under the impression that it had to do with the accelerometer of smartphones. I do not know of any other difference between smart phones and normal phones.
It's rather annoying, such a basic feature of a PHONE product to be able to talk and hear clearly. Major fail, Apple. For this alone, I may consider switching to another phone.
I have found other comments from iPhone 5 users who have the same issue: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/11/29/iphone-5-review/
MICROPHONE
I don’t know if it’s because I have big hands or what, but there many times when people on the other end of the phone can’t understand a thing I’m saying. Specifically, any time I lay down flat on my back, the iPhone 5′s microphones seem to go especially bad. A few times, it’s gotten so bad that the people on the other end of the line hung up because they couldn’t deal with it.

Please Apple. Fix this significant bug/defect in your product in your next software update. I know this is a software issue probably related to the Accelerometer detecting that the phone is not upright and then turning off the receiver. Not sure why you would even want to do that.
It is ridiculous that the iPhone cannot perform the most BASIC function of voice calls. After all, that is what you buy the phone for... the texting, internet, applications are all bonus. Phones are used while lying down, upside down, lying on the side, etc. You are basically hurting yourself and your customer base with this significant design flaw. Think about all the couples talking to their significant others when they're lying in bed first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening they are long distance. Think about hospital patients who want to speak with their families. Think about the homeless on the streets with their iPhones lying down calling people to give them money (or not...).
Anyway, you get my point. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix it. I only recently changed from being an Android user to an iPhone user... this is seriously my biggest gripe with your product.

I dropped my iphone 4S and the screen is black. i can still hear the key sound but i can't see a thing.

My iphone 4s was dropped and i cant see a thing but still can hear the sound of the keys...

I would try restarting
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
If that doesnt do it take the phone to an apple store and have it assessed

After last OS update, my iPhone 4 is dropping more calls or I can hear the other person but they can't hear me
