CALLERS CAN'T HEAR ME - AND I'M NOT PUSHING 'MUTE'

Frequently when I answer or make a call on my Droid X the person on the other end can not hear me. I can hear them, but they can not hear me.
I just replied to a recent post of someone having the same problem, but just realized the post was marked 'answered' so no one would probably look at it. The link posted in the 'answer' does not work, however, so I'm re-posting my question here....
The problem happens without warning and not on every call...and I am NOT pushing the mute button by mistake. I have taken out the battery many times which will fix the problem temporarily. I contacted Verizon yesterday and the tech said something about the 4G and 3G signals being changed....she had to 'reset' something, after which she told me to call *228 to re-program my phone. It worked for less than 24 hours, and today, it happened again - twice. I had to pull the battery out for a few minutes and then restart the phone. It seems to go less time fixed in-between the battery resets.
The Verizon tech said I could get a replacement re-furbished phone - but I have read online so many problems with refurbished phones. I am hesitant to reload all the apps and settings on to another problem phone.
When I call customer service they act like I am the only customer with the problem. I've done a google search of the issue and have found MANY with the same problem, but NO solutions or reason for the problem. I've spent a lot of time with customer service and they are shooting in the dark it seems - with no real idea of the problem or how to correct it. Does anyone know of the cause and/or a REAL fix to the problem??

That's true Koosh that is Unless some little Varmint Went into that Phone and put the 4G in there b33

IOS5 on iphone 4 - Callers can't hear me!

Hi,
I had just installed iOS5 on my iphone 4 recently. All was working fine but now suddenly my callers can't hear me on the phone but I can hear them very clearly. The same happens when I plug in the earphones too. The microphone in the phone is working cos I have tried and I can still record voice memos.
It seems like the phone is on constant mute. Can anyone help? Thank you!

I'm having the same problem with my iPhone4 S. First, I'll dial out and the I hear absolute silence but my phone indicates that it's sucessfully calling out (oh...and the party on th other line can hear me but I can't hear them). I thought my phone wasn't connecting to the caller. I'll call again and but this time the callers cannot hear me but I can hear them perfectly. I hang up and make repeated attempts and then reset my phone. It works but then I have the same problem with my next call. I don't want to reset my phone before every call! Very, very irritating.
Is anyone else having these specific problems???

Regarding Facetime on my Ipad. I get started on a call and after 10 or 15 minutes I cannot hear whom I am talking to. They can still hear me and I still have picture on the screen but my sound stops working.

Why can't we use Acrobat Pro for mobile devices? Save a whole lot of headaches!!! Now I have to return this subscription.

When I make a call, I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. It's not the mic, I use the voice recorder all the time and I have no problems w FaceTime. My headphones and Bluetooth do the same thing as far as not being able to be hea

When I make a call, I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. It's not the mic bc face time or voice recorder are not affected. I can't even use my headphones or Bluetooth to get around the problem. This has stumped 2 geniuses, they just try to swap it out for $150.

I am having the same issue with my iPhone 4. I can hear everyone but they can't hear me. Visited Apple Store and they said speakers were out, both bottom mic and top one for speaker phone. Said they were busted. Reloaded all software and didn't work. Got in parking lot and worked for 1 call. Now it's out again. Wanted $150 for new phone, haven't done it yet. don't know what to do.

I'm having trouble making calls with my Iphone 4. When I try to, the person on the other side can't hear me, and all I can hear are noises. But when I use apps like Viber or Facetime, I can make calls just fine! What may be the problem?

Did you fix the problem? I have the same problem and it has been pain in the neck.

I have an iphone 4 and cannot get my mute off when I am using Facetime. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. When I touch the mute button, nothing happens. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

the mute button is a switch you need to flip, not touch. if you look at it and see color, its on.

Hey shahbazfromgbr,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are having issues with sound output on your iPhone 4S. For troubleshooting steps, the following article provides the best information:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
1. Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
2. Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
3. While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
4. Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
5. For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
6. If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
7. Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
8. If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (choose Settings > General > Bluetooth).
9. Restart the iPhone.
10. If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
11. If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Did you use the latest backup after setting it up "as new device"? If yes, try again, this time without using the backup, maybe it contains damaged data causing your problem.
If this does not bring any change, you should get it serviced.

Siri seems to not be working for many people right now. The only thing you can do is wait.

They can't hear me and I can't hear them. Any ideas?

I have replaced my Iphone 4S and still having speaker issues. They can't hear me and i can't hear them!
Any help. Just about ready to return phone.

First try inserting and removing the earphone plug several times. Sometimes lint gets in through the jack and prevents the contacts from closing when you remove the plug.
Next step would be a Reset if that doesn't fix it; hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons for about 8 seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the "slide to power off" display and keep holding).
After that a Restore through iTunes. If all of these don't fix it take it back for replacement.

Intermittent problem with outbound calls; can't hear them and they can't hear me.

When I call someone the person can't hear me and I can't them even though call shows connected and minutes are ticking away. Have to hang up and call back. This happens randomly not with every call. Any ideas?

How do you use "find my phone"? I can't find it and I'm not sure I installed that app.

How do you use "find my phone"? I can't find it and I'm not sure I installed that app.

The app is not necessary; that only for tracking from another iOS device. If you set up Find My iPhone, you can track the iPhone from the iCloud web site:
icloud.com/find
If you didn't configure Find My iPhone on the device before you lost it, then you're out of luck.
Regards.
