Caller Can't Hear Me - Anyone with this problem?

I originally got my iPhone 3G last December 2008. It was working fine, though I noticed that after a couple of months, that it had a hairline crack near the headphone jack. Phone was still working, but I decided to bring it to the Apple Store here in Singapore (Singtel) last November 9, 2009. They replaced the phone right away with the note "Hairline Crack" on the receipt.
After two weeks, I had a problem where I couldn't hear the person on the other line unless I used the headphones or put it on speaker mode. When you don't have the headphones plugged in and try to change the ringer volume, the phone will just display "Ringer (Headphones)". I tried plugging & unplugging the headphones, and even restoring, resetting, and it was still not working. One trick I found was that if I went to the Settings > Sound option, then try to change the volume of the ringer, it would work for a couple of calls where I can make a call without going on speaker mode or using my headphones. This was getting too troublesome.
I went to the Apple Store (Singtel) again today, December 5, 2009, and they replaced the phone. Note on the receipt this time was: "Headphone Mode". Fine by me, as long as I don't have to come back again. I went back home, trusting that the replacement would be good. Guess what? Now I have a new problem! I can only make calls using the headphones! This time, I can make calls and hear perfectly, but the person in the other line can't hear me. Voice memo does not recognize any voice inputs. I have tried resetting, restoring, to no avail.
Anyone having this problem? Any suggestions on what else to do?
My patience is running out. Apple, don't disappoint me. I don't want workarounds or a badly refurbished product. I just want a working phone.

I had the problem up until today. There is a hardware problem with the iPhone internal microphone. I went to the Apple store in Barcelona and they gave me a brand new iPhone. I couldn't hear anything (except message tones, iPod music etc...) it was sooooo frustrating.
Anyway, contact Apple, they'll happily provide you with a new iPhone!

I bought a movie on my 1st generation apple tv and it isn't automatically transferring to my computer so I can watch anywhere. Anyone have this problem? Is there a solution?

AppleTV1 can sync with 1 iTunes library - the top one listed in Settings>Computers.
Other libraries are 'shared' or streaming only, and appear under the top entry.
You basically need to remove the current iTunes library from AppleTV - select it and remove it - then adfd it again as the to 'sync' compuetr entry.
NOTE - changing the sync liubrary wipes AppleTV of data though apparently it does not delete items not yet reverse synced to iTunes. If it buggers up contact iTunes store support.

HT201272 I seem to have a version of overdrive media console that does not support wma audiobooks files. Is there anyone with this problem with a solution.

I recently installed the overdrive media console. I was able to down e books and mp3 books but when I tried to down wma books. A message flashes out that the omc that I installed from the apps store is unsupported format. The version of omc does not support wma audiobook titles. Any suggestions.
Daphne

WMA stands for Windows Media Audio...it is a Microsoft audio format that is not supported on the Mac or iOS version of the apps. If you want to use the WMA audiobooks, you will have to use the Windows desktop app. You can use MP3 audiobooks on any version of the app.

Netflix problem using Firefox 9.0.1 (mac), unable to remove items from queue but I can from Safari. Anyone had this problem? Talked to Netflix they can remove items on their end.

iMac OS 10.5.8, 2.66 GHz, 4gb memory. I've tried with adblock on and off. I use HTTPS Everywhere.
Netflix suggested it might be a browser issue and to try Safari. I was able to remove items from queue using Safari.

Addendum: The .jpg file, below, shows the netflix popup I get when trying to delete a video.

I have multiple albums on spotify. Today one is saying can't start station, anyone have this problem? Help...

Hello,
What two countries are you living in? Are certain apps you have downloaded in one country not available in the other? The only solution I can see is to start new with a new apple ID or you can use one of e two you currently have. What do you mean "And now to boot I am unable to buy anymore apps as I appear to always be on the wrong country." This could be a problem with the firmware in which a restore may be necessary. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck. Don't forget to click this helped me or solved my question if this helped you. Thanks

Yes, you have WD software installed REMOVE IT !!
WD has warned its customers about their huge mistake that their software doesnt work on Mavericks and causes data loss.
(also dont use WD drives anymore)

HT5622 A month ago I dropped my iPhone in water and it works fine except for the signal it always says "searching". Can you help with this problem?

About a Month ago I dropped we went swimming and I dropped my iPhone in water and it works fine except at the top for the signal it says searching. Can you please help me with this problem?

It's very likely that the phone is permanently damaged - water corrodes the very fine copper strips which form the circuitry very quickly - but only a service engineer can tell you what its condition is and whether it can be restored to health. If possible take it to an Apple Store (make an appointment) for a free assessment. Don't be surprised if you are told you will have to replace it.

Has anyone solved this problem?

My ipod was taking forever on the 'do not disconnect' setting and getting really hot. I left for work and it was still the same when i came in 4 hours later.
In the end i decided to simply remove the dock from the ipod. When the screen changed it had the notorious folder and ! icon displayed. Now when i attempt to connect to my PC it does the same-takes forever and doesn't actually shows up in itunes (although the usb port recognises it as large storage device).
All this is accompanied by a constant spinning of the hard drive in the ipod. I know this is a common problem and was wondering if anyone with this problem has solved it without sending it for repair.

One method is to change to a more reliable firewire connection. Try here:

I can hear people on call but sometimes they can't hear me, it maybe fine for afew mins but then sound drops again? Anyone have this problem and find a solution? Thanks.

I have an Iphone 4 13.5 GB, iOS 7.1.2. Currently when I make a call or someone calls me, I can hear people on call perfectly but sometimes they can't hear me. It maybe fine for afew mins but then sound drops again? Anyone have this problem and find a solution? Thanks.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

I'm having trouble with the volume of my i phone 4s when using headphones, the sound will only appear when the volume is at its highest, any lower and all I hear is static. Can anyone help me with this problem? Much appreciated.

Hi, I'm using a white iPhone 4s with 16gb memory and having some problems. Whenever I use earphones the sound will be heated when the volume is at the highest if I turn it down any lower all I hear is static. Can anyone help me with this problem as I would appreciate it much.

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
No data is lost due to a reset.

When I call to other they don´t hear me. But I can hear them. This is a brand new iPhone 4. Any one else with this problem?

Any one that can help me with this problem?
I have tried to switch sim card with another iPhone - my simcard works perfect on the other iPhone.
Re installed the software
Tested voice memos - seems OK

What are the setting in order to use headset with vontage softphone, caller can't hear me

have dv7 entertainment notebook with IDT audio. When I use vontage softphone caller can not hear me but I can hear them. Is there some default setting for the notebook that I am missing or is it a vontage issue?
windows 7
HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC
Intel i5
64 bit os

I had the same issue. It was not being muted by my face (although sometimes that would happen). For me you could actually tap on the back of the phone and get it to work...but only for a short period of time.
I went through all the normal trouble shooting items... rebooting... restoring...etc. At the end of the day I took it into Apple store. They said they've had other people with the same issue and the best bet is to replace the phone while it's still under warranty. You have one year from purchase date unless you bought the extended Applecare.
I wouldn't bother with too much more trouble shooting...not since this is a known issue that others have had happen.
