How to clean iphone speaker (used to hear person during calls)

I believe my speaker is blocked because it fell in mud and Im not sure how to clear the speaker because it sounds very quiet even on full volume
any help/suggestions?

Try compressed air from one of the dust buster brands, blowing sideways, not directly at the speaker. You may have to try & loosen any dried mud with a soft toothbrush first, but again, a sideways motion & be very gentle, follow that with a vacuum source to try & capture any particles.

  • I cant hear Voice during call after i upgrade 7.1 i use iPhone 4

    I cant hear Voice during call after i upgrade 7.1 i use iPhone 4

    Hey there Goesdhar,
    It sounds like you are not getting sounds from your receiver on your phone. I recommend the troubleshooting from the followint article named:
    iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
    Increase the volume during the call.
    Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
    Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
    Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
    Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
    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.
    Restart the iPhone.
    Make sure your device is up to date.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

  • IPhone speaker does not work when switching call to hands free option

    having problems with IPhone speaker, not working when switching phone calls to speaker mode, any suggestion?

    Same problem - I was on the phone last night and the speaker switched off and can't figure out what happened. I tried to reset the phone, no sound is working.  I can hear a phone call if I hold it up to my ear. Very frustrating as my phone is less than 3 months old. Tracy

    Hi, Laura. 
    There are some troubleshooting steps that we can process prior to opting for a repair.  If you do have a protective film on your device make sure that is removed and test to see if the behavior persists.  Below, I have attached an article that goes over some basic troubleshooting steps.  After all steps are processed and the issue persists, we can service your unit at your local Apple Retail Store.  You can schedule an appointment buy clicking this link http://www.apple.com/retail/.

  • No sounds, unable to hear anything during calls

    2 weeks ago my phone stopped making sounds , and I couldn't hear anything during calls Only if I used speakerphone. I sent my phone away to get fixed and received it back a Week later having been 'fixed' with a note saying the problem was due to a corrupt file , I don't download any ringtones which it said could have caused it. I only use it for normal Internet, emails, facebook, bbm etc. 2 weeks on and its happened again although This time it won't even work on speakerphone ! I am really annoyed about this and can't Bear to be without a phone again if I send it away to get fixed . Has anyone else had this problem ? And is it possible to get the phone replaced , its still under warrenty. Thanks to anyone Able to help me

    If the original problem was due to a corrupted file, I would suggest upgrading the os before replacing the unit.

  • IPhone 5c IOS7.0.3, other people can no longer hear me during calls unless I tap into speaker mode and back?

    Hi,
    I'm currently using an iPhone 4S, but my partner has just bought an iPhone 5c. A while ago, before the IOS7 upgrade, my phone would for some reason act as if I had clicked mute during calls. Nobody would hear me, but I could hear them perfectly. The only fixes were to hang up and recall them back, or to switch it to speaker mode and back again. Very annoying. However, after updating my IOS, it suddenly stopped doing this. It was fixed, I was happy, game on.
    But recently, my partners phone which was working perfectly fine before the new IOS7.0.3 update, has developed this problem. Exact same issue, exact same solution. I wouldn't mind so much, but shes bought this phone in the last month, its a brand new phone, new software, new model... It shouldn't still be doing this! Whats worse is that when driving, its very dangerous for her to have to keep switching between speaker and not just to get her phone working. (She drivers with the phone in a cradle with hands free on).
    This issue is... Annoying. I've found that its not exactly a rare thing, and that a lot of people have had it for quite a while, but the only solution I've seen is to open the back of your phone and cover a certain part with paper/cardboard... Not exactly what we want to do is it.
    Does anybody have any advice or a solution to this, as I'm going a little crazy trying to reset everything and fix it!
    Thanks in advance!

    Same issues here. Sometimes during outgoing calls, people cannot hear me at all, even when the signal strength is good. Only solution is to soft reset the phone. A couple of times the person could hear me for the first few seconds of the call then it dropped completely.
    I also experience the issue with the 3G data as you described (I think they are related... i.e., when the 3G data isn't working, the issues with outgoing calls exists too). The phone will just randomly seem to lose it's internet connection, even with full signal strength. Soft reset/toggling airplane mode fixes this.
    I called Apple support; they asked if I was covering the microphone during outgoing calls (as if I'm that stupid). Come on Apple, I have a University degree in Computer Engineering, don't insult my intelligence! They then asked me to restore the phone (which I already did). Next solution they offered me was to replace the phone by sending me a new one first (at a cost of $35), or I could send it back and be phoneless for a week while they send a new one (which is not an option for me). I also put on a $30 Invisibile Sheild so if I exchange it, I already lose that. I believe the issue is not with the hardware, since the microphone seems to work just fine. Given that it is intermittent like this, it seems there's a software/firmware error somewhere that gets the phone into a bad state.
    Very disappointed that the $800 phone I just bought functions worse for phone calls than the Nokia brick I had 8 years ago.
    If anyone has a permanent solution for this that doesn't involve exchanging the phone, please let me know.

  • My iPhone 5 crackles and pops loudly during calls (with and without speaker phone.)  I'm experiencing this same same issue on my third iPhone.  Is this a common problem?  Short of getting the phone replaced (yet again!) is there a solution?

    My iPhone 5 frequently crackles and pops loudly during calls (while using speaker phone, as well as not using speaker phone.)  After being inspected by techs at the Genius Bar, my phone has been replaced twice; thus, I am currently on my third iPhone 5.  Incredibly, I am, yet again, experiencing the exact same issue. Short of getting my fourth iPhone, is anyone aware of a solution?

    if it's the exact same issue, either it's a problem with your service or with your software if you're restoring from a backup each time. it's pretty darn near impossible for 3 phones to have the same exact hardware issue, so that's unlikely. is this an at&t iphone? if so, are you continuing to use the same sim card? if so, get a new one and try that out. if that's not the issue, restore the phone as new and make a few phone calls. if the issue's gone away, there's something wrong with your backup
