Don't hear ringing when making call

Hi,
Recently when I make a call I don't hear the call ringing the other person. It's fine once the other person picks up but I just don't hear the ringing so I never know if it's actually trying to connect or not - any suggestions? Anything I've done in settings etc?
Thanks

Forgot to say, sorry, it's an iPhone 4s
Thanks!

Hi Nfrith1,
Please take a look at the article referenced below, the same as in my original reply. The receiver on the iPhone does not have anything to do with the speakers on the bottom of the phone nor your microphone.
Clear the receiver
The iPhone receiver won't work properly if it's blocked or dirty. Here's where the receiver is:
Follow these steps, testing after each:
Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver, such as a case or film.
If you have a new iPhone, remove the plastic film on the front and back of the device.
Check the receiver opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the receiver opening with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
While you're on a call, turn on speakerphone. If you still can't hear, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try calling again later or from a different location.
Restart and update
Restart your iPhone and test again.
If there's still no sound or poor sound quality, update to the latest version of iOS.

My Iphone 4S is showing a blank scree though a caller hears ring when he calls me.My phone is passcode protected so i am not able to syn it with itunes as it ask me to unloack my iphone first .Any solutions??

try doping a hard reset. hold the lock and home button together for 10 secs or till the time apple logo appears. once logo appears release the keys and wait for phone to boot ... good luck

Why nobody can hear me when making calls?

when making calls, they can not hear me. what do i need to reset???

Try to reboot your phone. If that fails, backup and restore. If that doesn't do it either, take it in for service to your nearest apple store/authorized service provider.

How do i change my settings to have poeple hear ringing when they call me instead of a message?

When poeple call my phone, they hear a message instead of just regular ringing. How do i change that to ensure they hear just the original phone ring?

People hear a message instead of ringing only when the call goes directly to voicemail. That means it's turned off, in Airplane Mode, call forwarded to a message machine or out of a signal area.

Problem with my iphone 4s, i can't hear anything when making calls

I can only hear when i turn the speaker on, but as soon as the speaker is turned off, it went mute. the person on the other side of the line can hear me perfectly. it also works fine when i plug in the earphone. this is really annoying.
and the most annoying thing is that i bought this new iphone4s in Canada and brought it all the way back to China. if i was to return it , it would take a painfully long time. what do i do?

Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on it works

Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on I can hear the ringing?

Don't jump all the way to restoring just yet. Check to make sure there's nothing in the headphone jack, and nothing covering the microphones (including the noise cancelling microphone at the top next to the headset jack)
1. Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
2. Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
3. Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
4. Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

Just uploaded IOS 8 and now can't hear anyone when making a call. If put speaker on then I can hear! Any advice?

I just tried to help another guy in another discussin with similar problems.
Headset input is not working
I would suggest a iPhone restore and fresh load from Backup... but it is no guarantee.

When making calls why they cant hear me but i can hear them?

When making calls why they cant hear me but i can hear them?

good question. try to record a voice memo on your phone. if you can't hear yourself, it means likely that your mic isn't working, which would explain why no one can hear you on the phone

After upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4S except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried rebooting?

Following upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4s except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried a wipe and reinstall, I've tried hard rebooting, I tried erasing all of my music and reinstalling it, I checked my Do Not Disturb, and I tried the AssistiveTouch mute button. Nothing. I can't even play music through bluetooth or headphones. Can anyone help please as its driving me mad!

I experience this problem too. I am using iPhone4 and just upgrade it to iOS7. And now I can not make outgoing call. I checked all the setting, and nothing wrong. I even replaced my sim card with the new one, still can not help.
I read this link

and I try dial *#31#, it help, but not permanent solution.

Nokia N95 8gb cannot hear anything when I call out...

When making calls to other mobiles I cannot hear the ringing or the other person but they can hear me. This is very frustrating and costs me a lot of money because it takes four calls to get it to work correctly.
I have tried switching to loud speaker and that does not work. I have the latest software.
There is no noise at all, no ringing, no talking from the other side. The person on the other side can definately hear me though.
It is weird because it works fine on the third or fourth try.
Please help, I dont want to send my phone away to be repaired unless necessary.

hi,
you might want to try the following 1st...
re-start your phone, just turn it off and turn it on again
if that doesnt help then you can try this more drastic measure, but 1st make a backup of your phone's content by going to the memory card and make backup and/or use Nokia PC suite to make a backup, then try the Soft Reset or Hard-Reset: Remember to backup specially for hard-reset, all your phone's content will be erased.
FOR SOFT-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7780#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
FOR HARD-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7370#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
if this doesnt help contact Nokia Care Point-> http://europe.nokia.com/A4388379
if you are not comfortable with the hard-reset and it is easy for you to go to the nearest Nokia Care Point, then just go there for help...

Why is my microphone not working only when making calls ?

Hello all,
I have a problem with my Lenovo S930 Smartphone to fix urgently.
(MTK6582 Quad Core 1.3GHz Android 4.2)
The microphone is not working when making calls (so people don't hear me talking.)
But strangely the microphone is working perfectly when recording videos.
It seems to me like a application problem but I am no android specialist
Where can I get help ? What can I do ?
thanks in advance for your support
Jean-Francois

Go to settings>backup & reset...there should be a factory reset option.
*Note: Settings names and location are firmware build number dependent.
**Backup anything important first.
Hope this helps.

How do I stop all of my devices from ringing when a call comes in

How do I stop all of my devices from ringing when a call comes in

Use a different iCloud account on each device.
Don't use iCloud at all.
Disable Bluetooth.
Don't connect to the same wi-fi network on all the devices.
Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn it off.
Go to Settings > FaceTime on the devices and disable 'iPhone Cellular Calls'.
Any of these will work, but the last one is probably best.

Try settings/general/reset/reset network settings. If that does not do it then contact your carrier

Iphone 4 doesn't ring when someone calls

My iPhone 4 does not ring when someone calls. I have checked volume and it is turned on. Left side button is up for ring sound. Volume buttons don't do any good. I updated my phone to IOS 5.1 but no difference. Please help with this issue. Thanks

I had the problem a few times. I had a faulty toggle switch (between vibrate and sound). I took it into the apple store, and I was covered under apple care. I walked out with a new phone, free of charge.
