Receiver (ear speaker) not working on iPhone 5 after updating to iOS 7

Since upgrading to iOS 7 (or 7.0.2) the receiver on my iPhone seems to have stopped working.
I don't make / receive many voice calls - so not sure exactly when problem started.
Every call I have received in the last 2 days has been silent, where the person calling me can hear my voice, but I cannot hear them.
Also there is no sound when I make a call.
Prior to this most recent calls have been silent at first, with the sound only kicking in after 5-10 seconds.
I can turn speakerphone on - which works.
I have performed the folowing to try to fix the problem:
1) Restarted phone
2) Reset all settings
3) Restored from backup
I've checked mute switch, tried volume buttons and ensured airplay is set to iPhone.
I managed to make the receiver work again by wiping all settings and content, then setting up as a new phone.
However I do not want to lose all the content, settings, app data saved on my phone, so this is not really an option.

Yes I have done this 4 times, I am sorry I should've been more clear in the information I provided but thanks for replying

  • ICloud mail not working on iPhone after updating password

    Hi folks,
    I have an iPhone 4 with last iOS 5.0.1 with an iCloud account working perfectly.
    The only thing that doesn't works is the mail.
    My account was a MobileMe account.
    I upgraded to iCloud, I had some problems with the transiction and I discovered the problem was the password (only lower case letters, no numbers) and so I changed my mobileme/iCloud password with the new password requirements.
    Now on iPhone iCloud mail can't receive emails.
    I have the same account configured on my MacBook Pro with Lion and iCloud mail is working, BUT with the old password (the lower case one)!
    On the iPhone I CAN'T change only the mail password.
    Could you help me ?

    Ok, I found the solution
    I have to CHANGE AGAIN my iCloud password (aka Apple ID password).
    Now everything is working.
    Thanks for watching!

  • ITunes Radio not working on iPad after update to iOS 7

    it shows its been updated and I can see the stations, but it keeps saying that radio station cannot be added
    or it will not even start...Ive rebooted it a couple times and even did a factory reset and it still will not play

    I would try and hold the power and home button down at the same time for 15 seconds or until device shuts off, then see if it works. If that does not work try resetting your device. If you do not want to reset it, contact Apple support.   make sure to back up everything on device!

  • IPod not working on iPhone after update to iTunes

    Since updating to the newer version if iTunes only some of my album artwork has been downloaded and the iPod just skips through sings continuously without playing any? Any help appreciated :)

    Harddrive crashed a month ago. Replaced the drive and now the airport/browsing is very moody. If I turn airport off and then turn it on, it will render the first page, but then any further browsing never renders a page or renders a page after several minutes with many of the page elements missing. I can ping yahoo, google and other sites that I am going to, but browsing in Safari and Opera yields the same results. The network is working as my PC computer is accessing the network. The mac mini can see the network, but only when I start and stop the airport can I hope to get to a web page. The mac mini cannot even get to the network router unless I turn airport off and then on again. Help.

    goodnight. as you know apple has evolved considerably until today but there are people who do not have ability to buy new products. in my case I would like to know why the apple do not let the iphone 3g update to iOS 4.3 as are several applications that can not put on my iphone 3g due to this reason. Why does not Apple make a repository with applications for ios 4.2.1? or else do not work in an update to ios 4.3 on iphone 3g?

    This has nothing to do with Apple, as Apple does not make the apps.
    This is the decision of the app maker.
    Contact those app makers and ask them why they do this.

  • I cant activate my iPhone after updating to ios 7.1.2

    Hello,
    I cant activate my iphone after updating to 7.1.2. Before this I update my iPhone from 7.0.6 to 7.1.1 everything goes fine. But after update to 7.1.2 I cant activate my iPhone eventhough I use the same Apple ID when I activate this iPhone.
    Please dont ask : Maybe you forgot your Apple ID password? - I use my apple ID almost for 3 years for my iPod n iPhone. And it still fine for my iPod.the
    I have : -
    1. A box with same IMEI serial number.
    2. Service Card with same IMEI serial number.
    3. All original accessories that come with this iPhone.
    This is just a prove that this iPhone is not a stolen iPhone.

    After updating the firmware on IOS7 I can not activate my iPhone 4. ITunes says "Unlock the iPhone on this ***** @ *******. ru impossible" The server is not overloaded, the connection is good...

    If you mean you are having trouble activating your iPhone after
    updating to iOS 6:
    iOS 6.0.1
    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    My phone is from USA and unlocked version and I paid 750 USD.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    USA
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    I used BSNL - India previously. After I get problem, I used Mobily -Saudi Arabia again I got problem and I am trying to use Airtel - India.
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does It mean?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
    Airtel 13.0

  • IPhone 4 ear speaker not working after 2 restores and cleaning the headphone socket.

    Hi,
    I know this problem is not uncommon, but here goes...
    I have an iPhone 4 which was running iOS 5.1.1 a few days ago when the ear speaker stopped working.  I cant hear the other person when I make or recieve a call, but nothing else is wrong with the phone.  It is 18 months old.
    I've searched the discussions and seen some of the suggestions.  I tried cleaning out the headphone socket, with no luck.  I then tried a full restore and update to iOS 6.  This appeared to have worked.  I tried 2 calls and I could hear the other person.  I then left the phone alone for a couple of hours and when I tried it again, it had stopped working again.
    I have since done another full restore but the speaker is still not working at all.  The fact that it worked after the first restore suggests it's something simple or software related but I have no idea what else to try other than getting it repaired in a shop.  The problem is I am in Japan where my network (Softbank) and an independent repair shop have both quoted me the equivalent of $176 / £110 to fix it.
    Does anyone know anything else I can try before I give in and end up shelling out this ridiculous cost for something that is probably a 20 minute fix?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem with my ear speaker after my IOS 6 upgrade. My speakers work, bluetooth works, the earphones work, but the ear speaker doesn’t work. I noticed this IMMEDIATELY after the upgrade was completed. I also have the following problems:
    -Very slow call connect time. 30 - 45 seconds just to connect is typical. Signal strength is 5 bars (ATT)
    -Problems attaching to known networks
    -Very slow internet browsing with many timeouts on both the ATT 3G service and known Wi-Fi networks.
    - My camera was missing after the IOS 6 upgrade. I restored that from Restrictions inside of the Settings App
    - Music was so screwed up it was easier to just restore it
    I went to the Apple store hoping to get some support. Between my wife, my son, and myself we have purchased 4 iPhones and an iPad over the last few years with plans to purchase another iPad in a month or so. So it’s not like I' not familiar with Apple Technology and their typical level of support.
    The individual who waited on me was rude and condescending. He insisted that all of the problems were hardware related or ATT’s fault, or my fault. He further asserted that IOS 6 had NOTHING to do with any of the problems. I pointed out that it would be quite a coincidence for my hardware to break, for ATT to have network problems, and for me to suddenly forget how to use an iPhone at the same exact moment that IOS 6 had been installed. He maintained his position and offered to sell me another phone.
    I don’t expect the folks in the store to reprogram the OS. Mistakes happen. I’m going to guess that Apple’s OS programmers are already working on a fix for many of the IOS 6 complaints that are easy to find on Google. Assigning blame to the customer and denying any responsibility is not a model for success or customer service. I’m sure Apple wouldn’t accept that kind of excuse from their component manufacturers and don’t think it is how they should deal with their customers. Further, Apple wants to own the device. They want to control the apps, the OS, battery, the delivery channel. I’m good with that so long as when there is a problem, they own that as well.
    And BTW… I’m not including the maps in my list of issues with IOS 6 because I kind of like the new maps and am willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt. I believe that their map service will get a lot better in a hurry.

  • $80 Apple in-ear headphones not working with iPhone 4

    I spent $80 on a pair of in ear headphones and they do not work with iPhone 4. I can listen to music and talk but the volume controls are completely nonfunctional. So I used them on my friends 3GS and they work fine. How can Apple come out with a new phone that wont work with their own products? I used to love Apple until this F@#$ing iPhone 4 came out.

    According to Apple, they should work with the 4... http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA850G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1MA&mco=MTM3NTM0Mjg
    Are they plugged in to your iPhone all the way?

  • HELP!  Ear speaker not working ONLY on calls

    Hey,
    I just ran into this problem today and am really frustrated.  As of 3pm today my ear speaker stopped working but only when I make a call.  I can still hear my music and sounds and ringtones but when I connect to a call it doesn't work at all.
    I have tried the windex/alcohol method, tried the plugging in and unplugging ear buds, tried the turning on and off the speaker phone and still nothing works.  I also tried a hard reset and still have the same problem.  The only thing I haven't tried is a full blown retsore and was hoping to get an answer here before trying to restore the device.  I have an iPhone 3Gs.  Anyone here have any tips or thoughts as to why this stops working on calls only and works fine on everything else?
    I can hear the keypad when dialing but as soon as I hit "Call" the speaker just stops working.  HELP PLEASE!  Thanks.
    Seth

    If doing the hard reset (holding power button and home button) doens't work, try restoring the phone as a new phone.
    if that doesn't work - my guess is hardware failure. Call apple if under warranty or contact your carrier.
