IPhone 6 Plus mic/earpiec not working.

A tiny drop of water went down into my earpiece 2 weeks ago and i kept sucking out the water and i left it over night in a bag of rice. The next day the earpiece was working perfectly fine but the mic for the front facing camera, facetime, siri and voice dictation is not working. Every time i try to take a video using the front facing camera all what i hear is a muffling sound. Is this an earpiece issue? Should i change the earpiece? IS there a mic inside the earpiece?

I have always used the iPhone's LED flashing alert to notify me when I get a call or text message. While I was on iOS 8 Beta 2-4 it was working fine. I did a clean install of the complete iOS 8 release and ever since then, the flash alert doesn't work.
Sometimes it will work on incoming calls, but will not work on text messages. I've tried soft/hard rebooting, clean wipe and fresh installs, and pretty much anything in between. Now, today I got my 128GB Gold ATT iPhone 6 Plus, and it's the same thing. Updated to iOS 8.1, reset everything/deleted all contents and settings. Both fresh install, and iCloud backups and still no alerts on text messages, but now I get them on calls. I tried my girls ATT 128GB iPhone 6 and she has the same problem too. My old phone was a 64GB iPhone 5S and hers was a 32GB iPhone 5. Everything was good until the official release of iOS 8.
I've tried searching for related issues, and haven't found anything since 2011 with a quick Google search. Most links just tell you how to turn the flash alert on but no new issues. All of my devices are on iOS 8.1. I gave my father my 64GB 5S with a clean install and he still has the issue as well. So, that makes my iPhone 6 Plus, my girls iPhone 6 and my fathers iPhone 5S not flashing LED on messages and sometimes calls. There aren't any custom vibrations enabled on any if the devices. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it a known bug or am I just not doing something right here? i never had an issue before the iOS 8 release. Any help would be appreciated.
Are you a developer? IF so try asking in the developer forum.

And it works very good, only in phone calls it stop working and by tapping on the back it work again,

Thanks for the reply but yes it does record voice memo because there are 2 mics 1 on top and 1 on bottom.
the one that is using for making phone calls is the bottom one.Therefore top 1 is good but bottom is not.

Iphone 5s receiver /earpiece not working

My iPhone 5s' earpiece receiver is not working. :( i even tried troubleshooting provided by other threads but still no luck. :(
Does any of you having the same issue?

Hey RoviMat,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with the receiver on your iPhone 5s, and that you have already attempted some troubleshooting steps. I wanted to provide the following resource to you in case any steps were missed, and if not, so you can follow the last step to contact Apple for support and service options.
iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
1. Increase the volume during the call.
2. Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
3. Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
4. Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
5. Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
6. If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or a car kit, try turning off Bluetooth on your device. Learn more about troubleshooting Bluetooth connections.
7. Restart the iPhone.
8. Make sure your device is up to date.
9. If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, contact Apple Support.
Thanks,
Matt M.

IPhone 4 Mic & Speaker not Working during Call

Hello All,
I have iphone 4 and it was locked on at&t and was running ios 5.0.1, now i have unlocked my iphone and now i am using ios 5.1.1. But i have a problem, when i call someone i cant hear anything "no dial tone sound and no sound during call" & speaker mode is also not working and nor the person cant hear my voice. I also tested on my another phone but same problem.....
So can you tell me is this a hardware problem or software problem ?? and yeah i can record voice memos and i can listen my memos with speaker on and off
Waiting for reply....

Do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide:
1. Reset iPhone (no data loss): Press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Restore in iTunes using a backup
3. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup.
If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure.

Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.

I Have Bought A New iPhone5 But Its Mic Is not working

Sir/madam,
I had Purchased a iPhone 5,Black Colour, from HONGKONG with Serial #DN*******TWD, ON 19/1/2013, AS A PACKED PIECE. I had reached India/Chennai on 22nd Jan 2013 and had opened for use, to my dismay found that the MICROPHONE was not working, it works on handsfree but not on normal use.
I had immediately contacted Apple India support center, and had given them all my details and they tried fixing it by RESET mode and all troubleshooting methods but the MIC did not work. When I had asked them to REPLACE the defective iPhone 5, they categorically refused to support as this set was not purchased in India, hence they would not replace it here, the support center staff were very unprofessional and even their technical head was very arrogant. This is not what I had expected from Apple Support. I am using Apple products such as , iPad, iPhone 4S, MacBook Air, and iTouch 5, had not experienced any defect as of date. My purchased were from NY/USA, SAUDIARABIA, UAE. But this defective Iphone5 has given me a tough time with Apple India Support.
As I know that Apple products are deteft free, but whenever any defect arised a replacement would be provided while under WARRANTY. My iPhone 5 is just a few days old, and has International Warranty, which I had confirmed, while purchasing in HONGKONG.
I WANT THIS DEFECTIVE PHONE BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AS THIS HAS CAUSED ME MENTAL AGONY, WASTE OF TIME, ENERGY, AND ALL THIS AFTER PAYING A BIG SUM IN DOLLARS.
i AM LOCATED IN CHENNAI, Tamilnadu, India,
Aman Shah
I URGE Apple CA/USA, HK for any Apple Store to arrange for an immediate replacement ASAP.
I expect the concerned authorities in Apple SUPPORT Worldwide to look into the ARROGANT, DISRESPECTFUL ATTITUDE and Very Unprofessional manner in handling Clients like us, who have been an Ardent APPLE Product Consumer form its inception.
If needed can give you the serial nos of all my products in use.
Reply awaited to resolve this matter at the earliest.
Thanking you,
Aman Shah
Chennai, India.

The warranty on the iPhone has never been international. Read it. You'll see that for yourself.
Take it back to the country where you purchased it if you want it replaced under warranty.
By the way, you're not talking to Apple. Posting personal information in a public forum is NOT smart.

hi wjosten
I don't put the iphone in my front pocket. I put in my bag pack so vibration is not useful to me. Pls help
The iPhone is working exactly as it is designed.
Your options are:
1) Unplug the headset.
2) Leave the headset plugged in and the earpiece in your ear at all times.
3) Turn on vibrate and put the phone in your pocket.
4) Leave feedback for Apple and hope they deem it worthy of their time to fix.

Try plugging the headphones in and gently wiggling them around for a few seconds. It may be that the sensor that tells the iPhone that headphones are plugged in has gotten stuck. If this doesn't work, they try a reset (hold down Sleep/Wake and Home all the way until the Apple logo appears on the screen).

Hey Khaled zaki,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The article says iPhone, but the same troubleshooting steps apply.
iPhone: Microphone issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
Follow these steps, testing after each.
Make sure nothing is plugged in to the jack connector.
Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (refer to the pictures below to find your device's microphones). Check for these:
Dirt or debris
A screen protector or case
When you're holding your phone next to your ear, make sure you don't block the microphone with your fingers or shoulder and make sure to speak into the microphone
Turn the iPhone off and then on.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
If necessary, find general iPhone hardware troubleshooting suggestions.
For further assistance, contact Apple Support.
Have a nice day,

Iphone 4 Alerts Tones Not Working / Ringer Is WORKING KINDLY REPLY ME

HI , PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT I AM GETTING PLEASE HELP
MY ISSUE IS IPHONE 4 ALERTS TONES NOT WORKING AND CALL RINGER IS WORKING.. PLEASE HELP ME!

If the iPhone came from the US then it is locked to AT&T. To unlock an iPhone the original carrier is the only one who can unlock the iPhone and AT&T will not unlock iPhones. So there is not official way to unlock the iPhone 4.
At this point there is no way to hack the iPhone 4 running 4.2.1 to unlock it either so the phone and messaging apps will never work. You basically have an iPod touch.
