Earpiece is not working

Headset works adn speaker work but earpiece will not work

I had this issue with my iphone4.
Took the phone to my local apple store (not a reseller); Apple technician couldn't fix it. Told me to buy new iphone5!!
After months of using earphones; I stumbled onto the solution.
1. Tap the home button until the runniing apps appear at the bottom
2. Swipe your finger across the list of running apps from left to right.
3. Keep swiping until a slider with a speaker icon below it appears.
4. adjust the slider to half way. should fix the issue!

My iPhone 5 earpiece is not working

my iPhone 5 earpiece is not working.. i can only hear through my speaker or if i plug in my headphones...does anyone else have this problem and can anyone help me??

Morning MHamilton24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

No sound through stereo headset1
Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
Try a different song or video.
Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
Best of luck,
Mario

Incredible 2 earpiece/speaker not working

My Droid Incredible 2 earphone/speaker has not worked since I received it (ordered online and Verizon stores unhelpful).
Is there a setting I'm missing. I've had to use headphones to make calls. How do I get service if defective.

Hello timbe
It is unacceptable that the earpiece has not worked out of the box. I can certainly review your options to resolve this concern. Please PM your name and cell # and we can come to a solution.

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

Earpiece not working properly in n82

I have a black n82 which i have been using for last 5 months. Recently i have noticed that the earpiece is not working properly whenever i get a call or make a call it becomes mute for a minute or two and automatically starts working . Though everything is fine when i use headphones or the side speakers. I have tried blowing air in the earpiece bt in vain. last month i had updated the firmware and looks like this problem has occured after that only so not sure whether its hardware related or s/w related.
Any suggestions ??

Hi, I have exactly same problem also so can any body help me plz, i dont like any set than n82, plz send me solution on my email

Brand new iPhone 4 earpiece not working

Hi all,
I bought a fully unlocked iPhone 4 a few days back, I din't have a micro sim so I waited till today to activate the phone, I was checking the phone and found that earpiece is not working, I mean, I'm not able to hear anything on call, Calls through speaker phone is working and calls through earphones are also working, but the earpiece doesn't work, My phone is under warranty but the nearest Apple service center is 5hrs away from my place, just wanted to know if it's a software glitch or hardware problem.

If the device is in fact new, it is highly unlikely that it is running iOS 4.3.1.
Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.
Upgrading to the current version of iOS would also be a good thing to try.
If none of that resolves the issue, then it is hardware related.
Either return to the place of purchase for exchange (since you should still be within the return/exchange period) or take it to Apple.

IPhone 6 Plus mic/earpiec not working.

A tiny drop of water went down into my earpiece 2 weeks ago and i kept sucking out the water and i left it over night in a bag of rice. The next day the earpiece was working perfectly fine but the mic for the front facing camera, facetime, siri and voice dictation is not working. Every time i try to take a video using the front facing camera all what i hear is a muffling sound. Is this an earpiece issue? Should i change the earpiece? IS there a mic inside the earpiece?

I have always used the iPhone's LED flashing alert to notify me when I get a call or text message. While I was on iOS 8 Beta 2-4 it was working fine. I did a clean install of the complete iOS 8 release and ever since then, the flash alert doesn't work.
Sometimes it will work on incoming calls, but will not work on text messages. I've tried soft/hard rebooting, clean wipe and fresh installs, and pretty much anything in between. Now, today I got my 128GB Gold ATT iPhone 6 Plus, and it's the same thing. Updated to iOS 8.1, reset everything/deleted all contents and settings. Both fresh install, and iCloud backups and still no alerts on text messages, but now I get them on calls. I tried my girls ATT 128GB iPhone 6 and she has the same problem too. My old phone was a 64GB iPhone 5S and hers was a 32GB iPhone 5. Everything was good until the official release of iOS 8.
I've tried searching for related issues, and haven't found anything since 2011 with a quick Google search. Most links just tell you how to turn the flash alert on but no new issues. All of my devices are on iOS 8.1. I gave my father my 64GB 5S with a clean install and he still has the issue as well. So, that makes my iPhone 6 Plus, my girls iPhone 6 and my fathers iPhone 5S not flashing LED on messages and sometimes calls. There aren't any custom vibrations enabled on any if the devices. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it a known bug or am I just not doing something right here? i never had an issue before the iOS 8 release. Any help would be appreciated.
Are you a developer? IF so try asking in the developer forum.

Iphone 5s receiver /earpiece not working

My iPhone 5s' earpiece receiver is not working. :( i even tried troubleshooting provided by other threads but still no luck. :(
Does any of you having the same issue?

Hey RoviMat,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with the receiver on your iPhone 5s, and that you have already attempted some troubleshooting steps. I wanted to provide the following resource to you in case any steps were missed, and if not, so you can follow the last step to contact Apple for support and service options.
iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
1. Increase the volume during the call.
2. Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
3. Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
4. Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
5. Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
6. If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or a car kit, try turning off Bluetooth on your device. Learn more about troubleshooting Bluetooth connections.
7. Restart the iPhone.
8. Make sure your device is up to date.
9. If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, contact Apple Support.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Q10 earpiece not working

Has anyone else had a problem or issue with their earpiece on the Q10 not working at all. I can make phone calls but only on speaker phone, or through the headphone jack. Phone hasn't been put in water or anything else, just stopped working one day last week.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. If this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Good luck!

Headphone (left earpiece) not working!

I was using my headphones, they worked perfectly. Now no sound plays through the left earpiece. They are good headphones, they work in my iPod. Any ideas? I have tried reseting, powering down...

tber52,
Have you tried testing a different pair of headphones with the iPhone? If so, did the left earpiece work? If the left earpiece is still not working on a different set of headphones, there may be a problem with the audio jack on the iPhone. You can set up an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple Retail Store to have your iPhone evaluated, or you can call AppleCare at 1-800-MY-IPHONE.

The ipod part is working correctly, when I recieve a call or make a call, it stops. The mic is working fine.

No, I restore the phone to factory setting already, I didn´t make the back up, I put as a new iphone, and try to use it with no extra apps, and still not working, how does this part can get damage and everything still working correctly?, I still using it as a phone with the headphones when I not alone and with the speaker when nobody is around, I don´t have an apple store near me, so I have to send it to them by mail, so, I want to do everything I can before to do that.
