Any fixes for an iphone 4 microphone that will not work in calls?

My iphone 4 (17 months old) is starting have the main microphone cut out during phone calls.
Any suggestions for a home fix?  Its out of warranty and I cannot upgrade yet. 
Is anyone else having this problem?

Try a restore as new and if the issue persists it is going to be a hardware issue.
If this is the case you could pay for the back glass to be repaired and then have the button fixed under warranty, usually the back glass is considerably less to pay for the repair than a whole repair.

  • Any fix for why my photoshop elements 12 will not launch?

    Hi - had to get new computer after old one died... reinstalled (twice) Photoshop Elements 12 and now it will not launch.  When I click on icon, the first screen open allowing me to select between the Organizer and Editor.  When I click on Editor, nothing happens... never launches.  Seems this has happened to others, anyone know how to fix?
    Thanks!! 

    Did you ever use Help> Sign In to activate it? Both entering a serial number and signing in are required (once signed in you don't ever sign out unless you want to deactivate the software).
    The advice here - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1452533?tstart=0 - should allow the software to restart so that you can activate it.

  • I purchased an app for my iPhone 4s and it will not work

    I purchased an app and I cannot get it to work on my iPhone. What seems to be the problem

    Thank you for all the answers to my query.  I had been using the same account on both phone and iPad, but did not make the difference.  It said it was compatible with iPad.  I just ended up having to pay for it on it as well.  Sorry for taking so long to reply.

  • HT5557 The ibooks dictionary works fine for my iPhone 5, but it does not work for my iPad 2. Is this fixable?

    The iBooks dictionary works fine for my iPhone 5, but it does not work for my iPad 2. Is this fixable?

    I went to the Audio store to see about getting a surround sound and the salesperson asked me why I wasn't using AirPlay, he said it was better than the Bluetooth, better quality. So I do have AirPlay on my Sony and I installed the app on my iPhone 5 but they can't find eachother.......when I try looking for my iPhone on my receiver it does not show it. The Sony display works through my TV, the set up screen is there but it says no devices found. Like I said, the Bluetooth finds the iPhone and works ok, but the AirPlay does not.....looking at the manuel it says that the AirPlay will recognize my device (iPhone 5) but it does not..........

    Hi there 8472kck!
    I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. That information can be found right here:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    and that information comes from this article:

  • Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

    Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

    Hi,
    We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
    In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
    1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
    2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
    Plug-in installation instructions:
    1. Close Photoshop Elements
    2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
    3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
    • For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    • For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
    Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
    If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
    Hope this helps!
    Regards,
    vaishali

    You will need to contact the movie studio that produced the DVD and ask if they can issue you a new code valid for Canada. Apple cannot help you, and everyone here in these forums is just a fellow user.

    Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
    Let's start with iTunes.
    Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
    With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
    Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

    Really?
    OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
    iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
    I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

  • How to fix my iPhone keys that will not work

    When I am using my iphone keyboard, the upper row Q thru P will not work. That is in verticle mode, when laid horizontally, the R will not work.
    On the number keys, the 4 will not work. The comma key also does not work. 
    I was told that a software restore could cure this.  Also, I tried to load the new version 7 software, hoping this might help.  But the Accept option would not work when accepting the TERMS from Apple.  It seems that only works in verticle so that whole row/area does not work.

    RESET DEVICE
    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 device to restart (no data will be lost).

  • I bought a new iphone in miami that does not work, how can i get it repaired by apple?

    I live in Argentina. I bought a new iphone 3gs unlocked on January 20th, 2012, in Aventura Mall in Miami, Florida. I arrived in Buenos Aires last Saturday, 28th, turned it on, and it never worked. It shuts down, and freezes for long periods of time, strange things appear on the screen, basically, it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.
    I want to give it back, and get my money back, but there's no contact mail, or telephone I can call from Argentina. There are only 1-800 telephone numbers which I cannot use from here. Also, there is no official Apple Store or Repair Centre here in Buenos Aires.
    I call to the Aventura Apple Store and a machine answers me, and does not re-direct my call to a repair centre or support centre.
    I find no way to contact Apple regarding my problem. It seems I could only contact them if I lived in USA.
    I can't believe I have bought an Apple product that does not work, and that I cannot claim to anybody. I have no way of asking for a replacement.
    Thanks for your help.

    This is the way of Apple all over the world, Their toll free telephone numbers for AppleCare support are all country specific.  Apple does not provide an international support number anywhere.
