Can't hear my caller after I remove my iphone headphones

Has anyone else had this problem?
you are listening to your music using th iphone headphones, then you remove your headphones from the iphone, when you get a call you can't hear the caller and they can't hear you. I discovered that the only way to fix this problem is to re-insert the headphone and click the mute button on the headphone! It seems that when you use the headphones and click mute and then remove your headphones it remains stuck on mute, not allowing you to be heard on an outgoing or incoming call!!!!!
What's up with that this? is my second iphone and it has happened to both my phones. It's a good thing I had my headphones with me, otherwise my phone would be useless or worse yet if it was an emergency I would not be able to call 911!

That is the solution so far other than a restore.
FWIW It worked with a Belkin audio cord as well. I tried it a few times in and out with no luck.
Here's what worked for me:
1. Start ipod and pause on a song.
2. Insert cord or headset.
3. Hit play.
4. Hit Pause.
5. Remove cord or headset.
6. Hit play....
After (6) it didn't do much but then I noticed the volume slider grab a life of its own. When it settled down... all was working again.
What a pain in the rear.
Apple if you reading this fix it. I happened to get stuck at work after listening to music the night before... when I tried to make a call, guess what. All day without audio.
Brutal!

  • I can't hear the caller's voice from my iphone 4

    My iphone 4 has been working all fine early this morning until around 10:30am I suddenly could no longer hear the caller's voice when answering / making a call while people can hear my voice. I've switched off the phone twice but didn't help. The speaker appears to be normal as the phone still rings. Can anyone help?

    iTunes, you must Update or Restore the Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 the first time (to system 5) with iTunes. After that you can update via the Air.

  • Any idea why I can only hear a caller when I'm using speaker phone?

    Does anyone know why I can only hear a caller when I am using speaker phone? 

    Hi goodferg,
    The troubleshooting steps below may help you with the sound issue you are having with your iPhone 4:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    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:
    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.
    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.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    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.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Hope this helps!

  • My Iphone 4s earpiece is not working that good, can't hear the caller too good, any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone?

    Does anyone have Suggestions on improving my earpiece? Can;t hear the caller when I call someone or they call me?

    I have had this happen to me on 3GS, 4 and 4s.   Usually the solution is one of the following:
    1-  If  your volume indicator says  headphones even though they are not plugged in, then:
    Stick your headphones into the headphone jack and then remove quickly.
    2. If that does not work Power your phone off. Then when restarting Reset the phone by pressing the home button and the power button at the same time until the apple logo appears.
    3. Make sure you have not chosen to send audio to an Airplay device such as Apple Tv.
    Hope one of these works for you

    Hi saintmary82,
    If you are having a hard time hearing people through the receiver, take a look at the article below for some suggestions to get it sorted out. Start with cleaning the receiver and making sure your iPhone is up to date. If you continue to have issues, then you may want to contact Apple Support for further assistance.

    i get my new iphone 5 about 1month ago
    need solution

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • IPhone calls via Mac not possible: I can't make phone calls on my Mac (via iPhone) although I am able to receive and accept those from others.

    I can't make phone calls on my Mac (via iPhone) although I am able to receive and accept those from others.
    I have activated all relevant options in FaceTime (either on the iPhone or Mac) but without success.
    Mac > Yosemite 10.10
    iPhone (5) > iOS 8.1
    After trying a call via the iPhone in the "Message App" on my Mac - it says "iPhone and Mac must be in the same network"...
    They definitely are... also I have logged in with the same Apple-ID's, etc.
    Can anybody help?
    Zadek

    Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, it does not make a difference. It still shows "iPhone not available. iPhone and Mac have to be in the same network"
    Are there any settings which are fundamental on the iPhone, I have activated:
    - iCloud Drive
    - FaceTime (FaceTime and iPhone Mobile Calls activated)
    The only strange thing - on Yosemite I can activate mobile phone number AND email in FaceTime whereas I can activate just my email in the FaceTime app on my iPhone...

  • HT201407 Per the "Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock" instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate.

    Received an authorized unlock code from apple/AT&T for my off-contract 3GS (8GB). Per the “Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock” instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate saying “Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable”. I tried this again and again for countless times, no way! I have my old AT&T simcard and other carrier’s simcard. Both will not help. Please help me to activate and start using my phone.

    Hello,

In the afternoon I saw that at top in the left corner show invaild sim card or so (only knew the german version). so I restore it again but now it won`t activate after I enter SIM-PIN and it accept it, it shows "No Service".
    Anybody can help? My Carrier is o2 Germany.
    Thanks!

  • HT4623 I can't activate Location Services after installing ios& on Iphone 5.... any ideas?

    I can't activate Location Services after installing ios& on Iphone 5.... any ideas?

    I had the same issue with one of the three iPhones I updated on Wednesday.  There are many processes that are working for people including:
    - Resetting the device several times
    - Toggling the "Dont' Allow Changes" setting under "Restrictions --> Location Services"
    - Disabling Restrictions altogether.
    - Restoring from backup
    I was able to restore location services by selecting "Reset" and choosing "Erase All Content and Settings" to set the phone up as new.  When the phone resets and goes through the setup process, I was given the option to turn on location services.  I then restored from backup and was good to go.
    Some people have been able to resolve the issue by resetting but only using "Reset All Settings" without having to erase all content, but that did not work for me.  It took a while to get everything back to normal, but it is good to know that there was a somewhat simple solution.

    All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection that is tied to the iTunes that was used to download the apps. This means you have apps on your iPhone that were downloaded with your daughter's iTunes account. Apps cannot be transferred or merged with another iTunes account.
    Delete the apps from your iPhone that were downloaded with your daughter's iTunes account to prevent being prompted for the account's password when there are app updates for the apps downloaded with the account. An iTunes account cannot be deleted.

  • 7936 phone - can't hear user calling in

    We have 7936 conference phones in place and are finding when someone calls into the conference phone, we can answer the call and the far end can hear us but we can not hear them.
    Can not see anything that would cause this in configuration.

    We experienced this a few months ago. It seemed like the issue would occur seven days (the DHCP lease period) after the DHCP server (a router) was reloaded. The TAC said it was an issue with the phone load, and told us to use a newer load 3.3(10). We still had issues and ended up assigning the conf phones static IPs and we haven't had another one-way audio problem (knock on wood).
