Answer phone, hear echo of self - cannot hear caller

About 6-times in the last 2-days I've answered my phone and could only hear myself echoing back to me. The caller could not hear me, and I could not hear the caller. The call ends when the caller gives up. I have powered the phone down, but that didn't clear it up.
Is this a known issue?

Had something similar to this happen just yesterday.
I kept hearing the echo but the individual that I called said his reception was fine. Told him to hang up and I would call back.
When I called back, echo was still there but again, he could not hear it.
Today, I am not experiencing an echo on the calls that I originate.
Somebody once told me this is a phenomena that occurs when you get connected to two towers but I cannot confirm that one way or the other.
Normally hanging up and calling back does eliminate the problem but this time it did not work.

I saw one post where a user said dust got inside the small microphone hole. Using a vacuum cleaner removed the dust and restored the audio.

After connecting my blue tooth it works for a few incoming and outgoing calls. Then for no reason when i make a call the other party cannot hear me and even if i try to click on the speaker phone or hand set they cannot hear me. rebooting required

Blue tooth operation and lock up. After i connect my bluetooth it works fine foe a few calls. Then if i place an outgoing call, I cannot hear the reciving party but they can hear me. Other times i can hear them but they cant hear me. After rebooting the phine it works again for a few calls. This is consistent with 2 diferent blue tooth devices?

Sorry about the delay, I have been away from my computer for a couple of days.
Since you are able to use Siri and dictate notes, that indicates the mic itself is working.
I would suggest fully quiting the Phone app and resetting the iPhone.
Double click the Home button (bottom center of the display with square icon on it) to get the fast switcher. Press and hold on one of the icons so they start "shivering" and the red "-" icons. locate the Phone icon and press the red "-" on it. Then press the Home button again to stop the "shivering".
Then Reset the iPhone, press and hold the Home and Sleep/power (top right edge of iPhone) buttons until you get the Apple logo. Wait for it to finish restarting and then test again.

TS3406 My IPhone4 will make calls - they can hear me bu I CANNOT HEAR THEM!! This has only just started happening, I have checked settings but all seems OK can anyone help please

MY IPHONE 4 which has been working perfectly well has developed a fault on calls.
It will make calls OK and they can hear me perfectly but I CANNOT HEAR THEM AT ALL.
I have checked all the settings and cannot see anything wrong, can anyone help please!!

Thanks for answering me. I tried what the help page said but still no luck. My son jut told me that his phone (same as mine) did the same thing and then resolved a little while later. I guess I might just have to wait and see.

TS3367 when using my facetime from my iphone 4, i can see the person, they can see me. I can hear them but they cannot hear me. I know that my microphone is working. what do I need to do?

when using facetime, the other person cannot hear me. I can hear them and we can see each other. my microphone works

This typically happens when you're using FaceTime on a WiFi connection that is either not too strong or not too fast.

Upgraded to IOS 7, now cannot hear callers and they cannot hear me.

Speaker and mic works perfect for music, voice notes, voice mail... everything but making phone calls

Have you reset since the upgrade? Hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

I can see the music toolbar moving, but cannot hear any music.

I can see the music toolbar moving, but cannot hear any music. My phone rings and clicks, so I know some sound works. Ever since I synced my
phone on my computer, I cannot hear my music or any videos.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

People cannot hear me... but I can hear them

I am having a problem with my phone, when people call me, I can hear them, but they cannot hear me...any suggestions. I have restored my phone and I am still having issues.

Hello,
i have the same issue and as i can see in the internet many people have the same problem.
Since i tried to find a solution and i could not, i started observing when i had the issue and i discovered that this most probably happens due to temperature increase. I live in a hot country during the summer and the problem appeared when the temperature was high and also i had use my phone alot playing around with apps.
The problem was happening randomly but once it happened i immediately put my iphone to the refrigerator for 5 minutes and then i could make calls succesfully again.
Please try to observer yours as well in order to confirm that this is the problem

often the other party can not hear me speaking when making calls over the GSM but mic works fine for skype, recording etc

Cannot hear or be heard on my iphone

My iphone has suddenly gone mute I cannot hear callers and they cannot hear me. I cannot also hear any voice messages. Please help.

Here we go again, with the same problems as before. Needless to say that FIOS never came..It's in the area but not to mine. Just about every other month I have had noise on the line and dropped calls. This unacceptable since I pay my bills without fail and when repairmen come, they try their best, but what can be done with bad input cables. You try to find the date that Fios will replace the main cable, with no help. WHY CAN'T VERIZON NOT KNOW WHAT FIOS'S IS DOING WHEN!!! You Verizon are BIOS!!!!
Three days ago I have had same problem with the phone, spoke to phone rep yesterday, today repairman came. He rerouted the wires on the pole , stated to wait two hours for activation. Phone now working even worst than before. Called to advise of problem...work order called in for December 11th. Almost two weeks without full service...

I cannot hear the caller on my iphone until I turn on the speaker

I cannot hear the caller on my iphone 4 until I turn on the speaker. They seem to be able to hear me but I cannot hear them until I manually turn on the speaker

Hi, I had the same problem until this morning when I was advised by the technician at the Apple store to plug the phone into my computer, thus opening itunes, which will back up my phone settings. Then click on my phone so that I get the option of "check for updates" or "restore". Click on restore, which removes the software from the iphone, and then reinstalls it. Sync all your apps, and tunes back and then try it. It worked for me so good luck.

Callers cannot hear me, or I sound like a martian!

Lately when making or receiving phone calls on my Kin TwoM I can hear everything buut they cannot hear me or I sound very distorted...what can I do? I knew I was taking a risk with the KIN!

Hi there Jpetruzzo!
I am so sorry that you're still experiencing issues with your phone! Let's see if we can get you a working phone.
How long have you had the Kin devices? Is there any liquid or physical damage? You can dial #UPG to see when your upgrade is available!
Prepaid phones have to be active on prepaid service for 6 months before they can be activated on postpaid service.
If you are still covered under warranty I would suggest a replacement until you can upgrade.
We also have our Certified Pre Owned program: http://bit.ly/O2iQnA
If you consider buying a phone from a third party you can check it's ability to be activated on our network here:

Keep me updated.
