I can barely hear a phone conversation although the speakerphone works fine

Just bought an I Phone 4 and it now has really no volume on calls. Speakerphone works just fine. Took off the protective shell to make sure it was not that.
Ideas?

Ok so I am having this problem all over again, except this time plugging in/ unplugging the audio jack appears to be making no difference whatsoever. Is there a way of cleaning the audio jack as previously mentioned?

  • My speaker is also not working. Sound is turned and is on. I can not hear my phone ring or the music play. Help!!!!

    Does anyone see my question?

    The speaker is not working when I put a call on the speaker.

  • Phone volume so low I can barely hear person talking.  Help?

    I'm not sure what happened but now when I'm on a call, I can barely hear the person talking to me.  I tried a soft reset.  That did not work.  I reset my phone from iTunes and that did not work either.  I recently upgraded my software to 5.0.1 and recently added I cloud and imatch.  I have a few new apps but nothing big.  Is there something that I can do?  What might be going on? 

    in the settings under music, select the tab that says "volume limit", and see if the volume is locked on very low or something.

  • Can barely hear the other person when talking on the phone

    when using the phone function i can barely hear the other person on the line.. the speker volume is at the max.

    remove the thin plastic cover, its not the protective kind its a shipping one. It is covering you ear piece.

  • Callers can barely hear me when making a phone call

    Hello!
    For the last 3 days, whenever I am talking on the phone the other person says they can barely hear me, that my voice is too low. My volume during calls is at the maximum and I haven't changed any settings.
    Can someone please help? I have no idea whats happening!
    Thanks,

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try rebooting your phone (which I recommend doing once a month even if it's running properly). Press and hold the power button until you see 'BlackBerry' on your screen, ignoring anything you see before that. It should take about 20 seconds. Once it's rebooted, try a call and post back with your results.
    Cheers.

  • Very Low Volume on Phone Calls - Can barely hear the other person

    Just picked up my iPhone 4 at the Apple Store. Tried to make a phone call the the call volume is so low I can barely hear the other person calling.
    The speaker volume is not much better. The other person can hear me fine and says the sound is great.
    The volume dots are all the way up.
    The settings sound voulme under ringer is all the way up.
    ipod volume lock is not activated.
    Any other settings to check out?

    OK now I don't feel like I'm the only one. I've also done a hard reset and still suffer from the same issue.
    Since it seems to be the popular question, no the plastic is no longer on my phone.
    To call the volume I'm hearing a whisper would be a overstatement. This is a much bigger issue than the antenna. The phone is basically unusable without headphones. Unfortunately I'm not very close to a Apple store to exchange.

  • I have a recently acquired iphone 4s and despite having good hearing and the volume up to max can barely hear who ever I am speaking to. WHat is wrong with the phone?

    I have a recently acquired iphone 4s and despite having good hearing and the volume up to max can barely hear who ever I am speaking to. WHat is wrong with the phone?

    The plastic cover was removed before I left the store and I have moved the volume up and down during, before and after phone calls. Have tried it in protective case and out of it. Impossible to hear calls unless phone is on speaker. There seems to be lots of comments re this. Is it a significant flaw? Can I fix it?

  • HT4528 I just got 2 iPhone 5 . We can barely hear each other in them unless we put on speaker phone, then every one can hear. Is there somewhere to turn up volume for hearing without using headphones? It 'sounds' as if theyre in, and Im just holding in my

    I just bought 2 iPhone 5 s. I can barely hear the person on the other end unless I turn on the speaker phone..then every one can hear. I cant find a way to turn up hearing volume. Tried blue tooth on/ and bluetooth off. Phone ring is set high. Both phones are having the same problem, so must be missing something?

    thanks, that seamed to work. I had the volume turned all the way up but I guess maybe I needed to repeat that while using phone, sort of two step.. good to know

  • How come some podcasts are loud while others I can barely hear?

    I enjoy listening to podcasts while at work.  I work in a place that does not allow head phones nor does it allow for a stereo.  I use a small iHome speaker. The Red Eye Radio podcast has a perfect volume level, while the Billy Cunningham podcast, Bill Burr, and Stuff you should Know podcasts can barely hear at full volume. How come the volume is so different from show to show.  Can't there be some kind of podcast/broadcast standard.  I enjoy all these programs but find myself only listening to the ones I can hear.

  • I can barely hear callers, bars frequently X-ed out, showing no Sim card

    Just recently I can barely hear the caller on my Droid DNA.  I have not damaged my phone in any way.  Also it starts showing no SIM card.  I will restart and then that will fix itself but the volume for the caller barely exists.  My volume is turned up.  I have no problem hearing ring tones, etc and people can hear me.  Also my bars will sometimes just x out and I have to reboot again.  I am sick of not being able to hear my callers. Help!!!!

    A few things to try:
    Remove the SIM and reseat it, then restart the phone.
    Go to a Verizon store and have them replace the SIM with a new one (it's free)
    Try a system cache clear (instructions below)
    Set your preferred Network mode to LTE/CDMA
    System cache clear:
    Power down phone
    Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
    Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
    Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
    Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery
    Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
    Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select

  • I can barely hear people

    Hello everyone!
    I have a problem with my new iPhone 5. It's my first iPhone so I'm not too sure what to do.
    I can barely hear people. Everyone sais that they hear me perfectly, but I only hear them when it's silence around me. Everything else works perfectly, sounds, music, everything.
    I have it for 2 days now, and I didn't take that plastic screen-protector off yet. Could that be it? I saw that it doesn't have coutouts.

    If you pause for a second and think about it - while on phone calls, you are covering your only source of sound/voice directly with a protective layer of plastic. How are you supposed to hear the other person talk? It obvously wont hinder the music audio etc. since that is coming out from the bottom of the phone which is not covered with plastic.
    Take the plastic off and it will solve your problem. btw, why anyone would make and receive phone calls with the plastic sheet on the phone is beyond my limited ability to comprehend how things function.

  • Can barely hear incoming call?

    Can barely hear an incoming call.  Sounds very distant.  What can I do to resolve this?  Thanks

    Dear Deborah, I just received my latest iPhone, iPhone 4S and I am experiencing a similar problem. For a hard-of-hearing person this problem might be too much. I have not reset my new phone yet but I am going to do so soon. I will see what happens.
    Another question: How about those ringtones? The iPhone seems to reset itself to the default ringtone constantly eventhough I have put individual ringtones to my contacts. Any ideas how to solve this one?
