Cannot Hear Ring Unless Headset In Ear?

iPhone 4S & Jawbone Era
Cannot hear the phone ring unless headset in my ear. Missing important calls and texts. I can't keep headset on all day, and I can't pair it quickly enough when calls come in. This is silly I will have to only use headset for outgoing calls if isn't resolved or find other brand. :-(

this is a user forum so we can't really do anything
apart from that somebody may know a good work around but if you want to
get in touch with apple to let them know your opinion

Callers cannot hear me, unless I use speaker feature, what might problem be?

Callers cannot hear me, unless I use the speaker feature. Mute is not turned on, so what might be the problem.
I had been using the phone normally and on the next call, the caller could not hear me reply.
Eventually I tried using the speaker function and then callers can hear me - but not using the normal functions.
Any suggestions as to what button I might have pushed inadvertently. The mute feature is not turned on.

New iPhone 4
Have already done full resets

Hello Lorilynn63,
It sounds like you have already restored the device as new and the issue persists. If thats the case, then I would say that you have ruled out software as a possible culprit, and would reset the device with this process:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

If the issue persists then I would take a look at the Service Answer Center - iPhone found here http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne.
Take care,

I cannot hear ring or other person talking

I can hear my iPhone 3G ring but cannot hear the caller talking unless I put them on speaker. Also can't hear it ring when I call out to other person.

im thinking it was a network issue...my phone is now able to hear incoming and outgoing calls. i hope all of your phones are now doing the same too.

I cannot hear callers unless using speakerphone. the phone is not on mute, the problem has started for no apparent reason and rebooting has not resolved the problem. Any ideas?

My iphone 4 (Model MD128B/A) running iOS 7.1.2 has developed a problem when receiving calls, for no apparent reason. The caller can hear me, but unless I switch to speakerphone, I cannot hear them. The mute button still functions normally. I have rebooted the phone but this has not resolved the issue. Any ideas about how to resolve this problem? Thanks.

Hello manleyjohn,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are unable to hear callers though the receiver on your iPhone 4 unless you change the sound to the speaker. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article and verifying that the troubleshooting steps have been completed. If the issue continues, it may be necessary to follow the link towards the bottom of the article and contact Apple Support.

Cannot hear me unless I have earphones in.

No one can hear me unless I have my earphones in. Anyone else have this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

From everything i have seen and read its most likely a hardware problem. Take it to an apple genius bar at apple store.

IPhone 4S: In phone conversations, other person cannot hear me unless I'm on speaker

Anytime I call someone I have to switch to speaker so that the person can hear me. The odd thing is that Siri works fine - when I put Siri up to my ear or when I enable it just by holding the home button. Recording voicemail greeting works, too. And, by the way, it worked the first day I had it. The second day it stopped working. I'm trying to think what I did between first and second day but other than connecting to computer, there was nothing of note.
Thanks,
Karim

After an hour on hold, I got through to a tech that told me it's a hardware problem and I'd have to take my iPhone to the Apple Store to be replaced or send it in and be without it for a week. The nearest Apple Store is 3 hours away, and I can't really be without a phone so I asked him if there was any sort of advance replacement.
Turns out it costs $29, which is probably how much gas I'd have spent to drive to have it tooked at. Long story short... I have a replacement coming in in the next couple days.

I cannot turn the volume up high enough on my iPhone 5 to hear. Also, when speaking to someone else, they cannot hear me unless I reposition the phone to speak directly into it.

I was speaking to someone on another iPhone in a quiet office and we could not hear each other. Is this being caused by the new ANR technology? Is all the advertisement on TV intended to get in front of this problem? It seems that Apple has focused on all of this gee wiz stuff, and they forgot what phones are supposed to do. If I don't get a fix, I'm going back to android.

Hi Friend,
Be sure you did not turn no Restrictions before (Settings>>General>>Restrictions)
Not to be a jerk, but did you make sure there is nothing covering the phone speaker? If you leave the protective cover over the phone speaker you won't be able to hear much at all.
If the problem persists, rebooth your device (press and hold home and sleep button simultaneally Unitol turn off and appears the Apple Logo.
Hope it helps

Fascinate Headset (jack or Bluetooth) - cannot hear notifications through headset

I have tried a jack and Bluetooth (Samsung HM1100) headset but neither one will 'play' notifications through the headset. The notifications I am referring to are new text message, email, calendar events. These notifications will play through the phone speaker when the headset is connected. The phone features work normally through the headset - incoming call, listening and talking, and Nuance voice. I have tried the completely inserted thing. Samsung thought it was downloaded market applications and suggested a hard reset. Any suggestions?

My iphone 3 speaker will not play, it is not in airplane mode,. I have rebooted it. I cannot make a call or recieve one because I cannot hear anyone unless they are on speaker, it says my ipod is stuck in headphones mode for the volume,..it isnt the headp

Please help me, and tell me if this is a hardware issue and I am required to take my phone in to the store to get a new one?

Oh wow, I forgot how narrow minded people can be. No its not the jailbreak causing it. The problem existed well before the jailbreak, and there are many other people with unjailbroken phones with the exact same audio problem. But. i removed the jailbreak, just for.you. guess what... It's.still doing it. Now would someone be willing to help me out? And don't bother to.suggest restoring it . Been there done that, didn't do anything except waste my time.

Callers cannot hear me on the phone

I've had a problem with my Samsung Galaxy SIII almost since I purchased it a few months back. When on a phone call, people cannot hear me unless I use an external headset or Bluetooth. Occasionally using speakerphone works, but as time goes on, that works less frequently. Please help!

KilroyLeges,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear of your troubles with your device. We certainly want you to always have a working phone. It sounds like you have a broken internal speaker. Are you still under warranty or have insurance on the device? Is their any damage to the phone? If none, then you should be able to get a replacement device. You can try to do a factory reset to see if the issue is possibly stemming from an internal application issue, but more then like it is from the speaker. Keep us updated on this information so we can figure out the next steps to take.
Thank you,

Why can't callers hear me unless im on speaker phone?

I did the new i.os 8 upgrade and ever since, when callers call me they can't hear me unless i put them on speaker phone. What do I have to do so they can hear me without using speaker phone? Cuz i can't answer my calls in public since i have to put them on speaker phone.

Hello there Anick,
It sounds like you are making calls or recieving them, and the other party cannot hear you unless you have speakerphone turned on. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help you resolve this issue, named:
iPhone: Microphone issues
Follow these steps, testing after each.
Make sure nothing is plugged in to the jack connector.
Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (refer to the pictures below to find your device's microphones). Check for these:
Dirt or debris
A screen protector or case
When you're holding your phone next to your ear, make sure you don't block the microphone with your fingers or shoulder and make sure to speak into the microphone
Turn the iPhone off and then on.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
If necessary, find general iPhone hardware troubleshooting suggestions.
For further assistance, contact Apple Support.
Click the link for images of the locations of the microphone for your particular model of iPhone.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Cannot hear music without speakers or earphones.

I received a replacement Ipod Touch 2nd generation, and i cannot hear music unless i use earphones or speakers. What can i do to get it to work?

Are you sure that it is 2nd generation? (it would have an external volume control, and the tapered edges on the body). The 1st generation has no external volume control button, no speaker, and squared-off edges.
If it really is 2nd generation and you can't hear the external speaker, of course make sure that the volume is turned up. If you still can't hear anything, then Reset the iPod (press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release). If that doesn't work, then Restore the iPod using iTunes.

Try inserting and removing the earphone plug several times. Also make sure the lightning connector is clean.
