I can hear other person, they can't hear me

Iphone 4. This problem just started a few days ago. I did a reset, a general shutdown, a sync to no avail. Does it simply mean I need a new battery? My battery is only a year old. I changed it last summer.
Thanks, Tzipora

Thanks, did the factory reset etc. and it is a hardware problem. Too much to repair and it's well beyond expired repair time. I upgraded to 5. I love it !

Phone cuts out in middle of conversation, I can hear other person, they cant hear me, any clues?

Phone cuts out in middle of conversation, I can hear other person, they cant hear me, any clues?

I had the same problem with mine. It had a faulty proximity meter. When in a conversation, the screen should go black when it senses it's near your face. Test it by calling someone and placing your hand over the phone. If it doesn't go black, you may have the same problem. When that happens, your cheek can hit the mute button..

Can't hear other person, they can hear me - and memory issue with restoring backup

Hello,Hope you can help. My Xperia Z has a fault, I can't hear anyone when they are speaking on the phone. I can hear everything else, and when I put them on speaker it works all right. I checked on the forum here and someone else was advised to download and run a diagnostics app, and if that showed a fault, to run repair in Bridge for Mac. I did these and of course all my data was deleted from the phone. I now have two problems: 1. I still have no audio on incoming calls. Any suggestions for fixing this? 2. When I try and install the backup to my phone, it says the memory is too full. But the phone has been wiped clean - how can there not be enough memory? It's like it still thinks my phone is in its pre-"repair" state, with all my music on it and so on. Thank you, Segundus

Hi segundus! Sorry to hear you have a problem with bridge for mac. Can you please send me the error logs concerning the backup. Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac:
1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the ”Xperia” menu. Select "Export logs"
4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
5. PM a shared dropbox link to me. Best regards Fredrik

On the iPhone 5/5s, can you hear the other person properly when they are lying down?

When I use the iPhone 5s while lying down in bed, the other person is unable to hear me. When someone who is using the iPhone 5s is lying down in bed, I cannot hear them.
Is this a known issue? Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does anyone know what causes this issue? I actually used to have this same issue with the HTC One, and I was under the impression that it had to do with the accelerometer of smartphones. I do not know of any other difference between smart phones and normal phones.
It's rather annoying, such a basic feature of a PHONE product to be able to talk and hear clearly. Major fail, Apple. For this alone, I may consider switching to another phone.
I have found other comments from iPhone 5 users who have the same issue: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/11/29/iphone-5-review/

I don’t know if it’s because I have big hands or what, but there many times when people on the other end of the phone can’t understand a thing I’m saying. Specifically, any time I lay down flat on my back, the iPhone 5′s microphones seem to go especially bad. A few times, it’s gotten so bad that the people on the other end of the line hung up because they couldn’t deal with it.

Please Apple. Fix this significant bug/defect in your product in your next software update. I know this is a software issue probably related to the Accelerometer detecting that the phone is not upright and then turning off the receiver. Not sure why you would even want to do that.
It is ridiculous that the iPhone cannot perform the most BASIC function of voice calls. After all, that is what you buy the phone for... the texting, internet, applications are all bonus. Phones are used while lying down, upside down, lying on the side, etc. You are basically hurting yourself and your customer base with this significant design flaw. Think about all the couples talking to their significant others when they're lying in bed first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening they are long distance. Think about hospital patients who want to speak with their families. Think about the homeless on the streets with their iPhones lying down calling people to give them money (or not...).
Anyway, you get my point. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix it. I only recently changed from being an Android user to an iPhone user... this is seriously my biggest gripe with your product.

When I make a call I can hear the other person but they can't hear me? Tried everything.

When I make a call, I can hear the other person but they can't hear me? Tried everything. Took it to the local ATT store and all they could tell me is it shouldn't be happening and to take it to an apple store? Any ideas?

Try to isolate the issue. Use earphone and if the issue still happens then it might be the phone issue.
- If earphone works fine then it may be the mic on the iPhone. Try cleaning the debris on the iPhone. Finally a restore of the device and try to set it as a new device. Tha will isolate if it is a software or hardware issue.
- You can take the phone to Apple store once you have tried all this.

When I make a call, I can hear the other person, but they can't hear me. If I put it on speakerphone, we can both hear each other fine. What is wrong?

I just got a new I Phone 4S and my volume is all the way up but the other person sounds far and i could bearly hear them. i checked all settings and they are all up as high as they can go

I just got a new I Phone 4S and my volume is all the way up but the other person sounds far and i could bearly hear them. i checked all settings and they are all up as high as they can go. This is my first I Phone and don't know if this is normal for this phone

Hi Flex,
Congrats on the first iPhone. This is not normal. First check if moving the volume up or down either way has any impact on the sound. Then see what happens while on speakerphone. If you can hear ok on speakerphone, and there's no change from the regular earpiece with the volume changing, check with the carrier you received it from or the Apple store you purchased from. They will have other things to look at for you.

When i want to call somwhone with my i-phone, i only hear the other person, if i press the loud-speaker. does anywhone know, how i can solve this problem

what can i do, when i call someone with mit i-phone, i only hear the other person, when i press the loud-speaker button, does anyone know, how to solve this problem

Does hte iPhone say headphones when you adjust the volume, even when they aren't connected?
If it does, there might be some lint or something in the jack. Take a look at this Apple document -> iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers

Just bought Ipad2. Loaded Skype, can see and hear other person but cannot see myself cannot find a video setting for skype on the ipad does anyone know?

Just bought Ipad2. Loaded Skype, I can see and hear the other person, but They and I cannot see me...just my audio. Does anyone know where or how to find sype video setting on Ipad app?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

I can't hear the other person while facetiming on the Imac

I cant hear the other person while face timing on my imac but they can hear me

HI,
There have been similar issues with iChat and I will use that as an example first.
In iChat the Mic needs to be On (in the Video menu).
It also needs to be listed in iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section > Microphone Drop down and this needs to match ther Mic set up in System Preferences > Sound > Input.
In addition to this the Mic needs to be "turned up" high enough in the System Preferences to work with the app.
So If you Buddy cannot hear you it is your Problem when it comes to iChat.
If you cannot hear the Buddy it is much more likely that they have not set up the Mic in System Preferences or have the Mic Off in iChat.
Moving to FaceTime you will find a Mic Setting in the Video menu (if you have two or more Mics).
If you do then the System Preferences > Sound > Input and the volume setting there needs to match the choice in the App.
As it is your contact that you cannot hear you need to get them to check their settings first.
As for your end, it will be worthwhile doing a PRAM reset.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down Apple/CMD ( or ⌘)+ALT( ⌥)+P+R Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.

While making call I can hear other person but other person can't hear me

i'm facing the same problem
have you taken it to an istore yet?

Often when making or receiving phone calls the other person can't hear me. Works on speaker phone, though.

This is so frustrating. Sometimes I can talk on the phone and other times the other person can't hear me. The mute button is not pressed. I have to go to speaker phone in order to communicate. How do I stop this from happening? It works some of the time!!

I have the same problem.
IPhone 4
IOS 7.1.2
My retailer sent it to Apple, but I just received a sheet of paper where they said, they did nothing.
Surprisingly the problem still exists. Now the warranty time is going to run out in 4 weeks.
What else can I do? I have a not working IPhone and nobody want's to help me ?!? I feel lost and disappointed.

I just put Facetime on my MacBook and Ipad. I can connect and recieve video but no sound. The other person can hear me. If I use Skype everything works fine. I can't find any where in Facetime to change settings for the audio. Any suggestions

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If recovery does not work there's:

Can't see the other person, but they can see me. A...

i was wondering if it is possible, this person i believe uses a Android or Iphone, for the camera to be turned off for video chat? I can never see the other person but they can see me - and i can see myself during the video chat. My video which they see i also see takes up the whole screen. This issue also is the same for when i use Windows and video chat with this person.

Hello pfierrobb:
You have to enable it in SKYPE. Open up Sykpe click on tools then select options . When that windows opens select video settings. Then you well see select webcam click on White box select your web cam choices. Windos 7 HP computers it is called HP web camra filter. I just close out the filter stuff if I am not using it during chat session. Some HP computers call it cybrlink web cam. If your web cam isn't listed yet the web cam still works in other applications your Skype software might be corrupted. Just uninstall Sykpe and reinstated it back with a new copy download http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ If you are still having issues please let us know. Thank you frrw.
