Cannot answer or make a call through the actual phone

Hello...
Has anyone experienced this issue yet. I have installed 2.0 on my 1st gen phone and am experiencing many fo the issues reported here (lagging, freezing...etc). Today, I walked out of work and tried calling my wife and it would show the call was connected, however i could not hear or speak to her. i tried this several times and then finally hit the speaker button and everything was normal (I could hear and speak). I tried everything again when i got home and i continue to run into the same issue. I have reset the phone, checked all the settings... i dunno, anyone have any advice
Thanks

It turned out to be the headphone jack for me, something inside it was cathching or something... making the phone think it had headphones still plugged into it. I would try there, i just removed and inserted the headphones into a few times and it released whatever was catching(Play your i pod at the same time, once it releases you should hear music through the speaker)... (I had just bought a different pair of headphones, so I'm not sure if that caused it?)

The only time the sound/speaker and mic don't work is when I answer or make a call

The only time the sound/speaker and mic don't work is when I answer or make a call. They both work fine for everything else. This has been going on for over a month. AT&T said it's Apple and Apple said it's AT&T. I've been around that cycle twice.
When I dial a call, I can see the status words on the screen but can't hear the ringing. If the person I'm calling answers, my screen will show the call was connected and the call timer will begin but I can't hear anything and they can't hear me. If one of us doesn't end the call, the timer keeps going and I'm being 'charged' for dead air. (Of course, one of us disconnects so mins/cost isn't an issue, I'm just adding the info in case it helps solve the problem.) If they don't answer, the call will go to their greeting but I can't hear it and wouldn't be able to leave a message anyway because my voice isn't going through. However, they will get a voice mail alert and see that I called but no message was recorded.
If some one tries to call me they will hear ringing but when I answer, they can't hear me and I can't hear them. If I don't answer, they will hear my greeting and can leave a message. I can retrieve and hear my voice mail. Trying speaker phone and headsets didn't change anything for calls out nor for calls in.
I have 4.3.3 and have synched, reset, rebooted, turned things on and off and off and on and took the SIM card out of the phone and out of it's tray and put it back in. I've done all that several times in just about every combination and order possible.
Hopefully the following will provide good clues: On only about three of the many attempts I've made to get it to work correctly that included taking out the SIM card, I could make and/or get one or two calls with no trouble but then the problem comes back. Also, when I swapped the SIM card with another iPhone4 on my plan, the other phone would work with my SIM card but my phone still would not work with the other SIM card. The last fact makes me think it is an Apple issue. I'll go to an Apple store (genius) this weekend. Will I be wasting my time and gas? Anybody have any experience with this problem?

Let me try and address some of your questions. I'm only on a pc, so a few of these answers might be slightly different on a Mac, but not too different (such as control click rather than right click).
First, when you buy something on your phone, be it apps or music, it's transferred from your phone to your Mac when you sync your phone. So those apps should now be in you iTunes library. ( IF for some reason you can't find them there, you should be able to download them again, either onto your phone or through iTunes. On your phone, go to the App Store > Updates and you'll see a "Purchased" link at the top of the page, you can view all purchased apps here and redownload them. In iTunes, you can go to Store > Check for available downloads. )
Whenever you plug your phone in, it should create a backup of everything you have on the phone. This is how, provided restoring your phone as a new device doesn't fix the issue (more on this later), you can put all of your music and apps onto the new phone. You can always plug your phone into your Mac and the first thing it should do when it syncs is create a backup. If you want to be sure, you can right click on your device in iTunes (on a pc) or I assume control click on a Mac and select "backup".
The genius will take care of the sim card and setting up your phone, however you will have to put all of your music and apps on it, unless you ask the genius, I've never bothered since I know how to do this.
You should have no problems restoring from a backup if they give you a new phone. However, it's probably safest to try and create a backup of your last phone backup before you restore it as a new device. I suggest you refer to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414 for more information about that.
I've had no problems with my new phone so far.
I'll try to keep checking this thread if you have any other questions or need more clarification.
Edit: I should say we never did figure out what exactly was wrong with my phone. The only thing I can think of was that it got a lot hotter than the phone it replaced, and also the phone I just got yesterday to replace the malfunctioning one. But otherwise they saw no problems with the hardware, but acknowledged it must have been the hardware since we tried everything else. Also I would go with a list of all the things you tried with this phone, for your own reference and the genius's, especially if you're not confident in your tech skills Showing the genius that you've tried: different sim cards, updating the software, restoring it from a backup, and now restoring it as a new device, should convince them that you've done everything you could, and the only other answer is hardware problem.
Also if you don't already have one, make a genius appointment ASAP. Most stores are very busy and their appointments fill up fast. I always suggest making an appointment as early as possible, hopefully before the retail store hours when they've only got techs there because they usually are less stressed and have a bit more time to spend with you. The easiest way to make an appointment is to download the Apple Store app. It detects the closest Apple store from you and makes it quite easy to schedule a genius.

If there's an Apple store nearby make an appointment with the genius bar to have it checked. Be sure to sync it and back it up, as well as import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately (such as by sync them with iCloud) in case it needs to be replaced.

Hey Rache0105,
Some of the steps you've already done, but I would run through the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant for call issues. You can find it here:

Have a good one,

I have one iPhone 8GB. After making un upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use it. There's no service! doesn't acept PIN code! it only makes emergency calls and the image in the iPhone is the sign to connect to iTunes. What can i do to solve it?

Where are you and where did you get the phone. This sounds like a classic symptom of someone who bought an iPhone that originated in the U.S. which was then hacked so it would run on a carrier network other than AT&T... Then, when updating the phone, it becare re-locked to AT&T.
If that's what happened, you now own a paperweight. AT&T will NOT unlock them for any reason.
If this isn't the case, please clarify where you are, what carrier you have and where you got the phone so we can begin troubleshooting.

I managed to find a solution to my problem described above. I downloaded a demo copy of the shareware called R-Tools which I found on Tucows.com
The site described the software thus: "Take advantage of R-Studio's unique ability to recover files and disks on remote computers, even if their partition structures are damaged or deleted."
The demo software searched my ipod and found all my photos and showed them as thumbnails. Of course the demo software would not save the files unless I registered it which cost US$49.95. There are several different suites of applications from this publisher, I got the cheapest option which is called "R-Studio FAT".
I didn't mind paying this amount because the photos were very precious to me and by this point I had just about resigned myself to losing them all. I had previously contacted a professional data recovery service and they had quoted me "AUD$80 per hour and probably 1 to 2 hours work".
I've been too busy organising my newly recovered photos into galleries and editing them using photoshop to be bothered to try and fix my ipod which I doubt I will want to use again for photo storage.

Portege R600 - Is it possible to make a call with the SIM?

Hi,
I wonder if its possible to use the Wireless connection manager 5 and to make or receive a call?

Hi,
I see that nobody answered so i will try to explain what i meant -
Is it possible to make audio call with the Wireless Manager by the GSM modem module?
I succeed to send SMS and to connect to HSPA data services but i dont find any reason why i can not connect to the GSM and make a call.
I have Portege R600 model PPR61E-01C00NG3
I even succeed to use the GPS that probably installed in the GSM/HSPA modem (wireless manager 5).
If anyone can explain how and if it possible to make a call please send your reply ... i wnat to use the laptop with BT instead of cell phone ....
Thanks
Yan

How can we make a call to the Data base in the SAP Scripts?

Hi All,
How we make a call to the data base in scripts?
I think we can use the PERFORM statement to achieve the above functionality.
Pls correct me if i am wrong?
Regards
Abhilash.

Hello.
If you want to access database in the script itself (not in print program) yes, you can use PERFORM statement.
In your script, use:
/: PERFORM F_FORM IN PROGRAM ZRFIRFS05
/: USING &VAR1&
/: CHANGING &VAR2&
/: ENDPERFORM
Then, create a program ZPROG (ZRFIRFS05 in my case) with a structure like this one:
REPORT ZRFIRFS05 .
FORM f_form TABLES in_par STRUCTURE itcsy out_par STRUCTURE itcsy.
DATA: l_data1(10).
READ TABLE in_par WITH KEY name = 'VAR1'.
CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
l_data1 = in_par-value.
* SELECT .... "YOUR SELECT TO DATABASE
READ TABLE out_par WITH KEY name = 'VAR2'.
CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
out_par-value = l_data3.
MODIFY out_par INDEX sy-tabix.
ENDFORM.
Regards.
Valter Oliveira.
