I can only use speaker phone to hear calls

tried to look on youtube, no results.

Actually instead of setting up a repair, try making sure your iTunes is updated to 10.2.2
Next, backup your iPhone by following the article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US
After the backup is complete, click on your iPhone by looking for devices on the left pane of iTunes
This will open a summary window showing a picture of your iPhone. In that screen, look for RESTORE, and click on it. Now when the restore finishes, you want to choose to setup as a new device. This way you can test the phone and see if that fixes it, if not then call Apple at 1.800.myiphone and have Apple setup a repair as long as you are within your 1 year warranty(or 2 year if you have an AppleCare Protection Plan)

Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If that doesn't work, try resetting the network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
If that fails, you may possibly have damaged the SIM. Verizon will need to give you a new one.
Best of luck.

I have changed my account to SIM only and when I put my new SIM Card into my iPhone 4 it just says 'no service' in the top left corner, also iMessage has stopped working too. I can only use my phone on my WiFi at the moment, does anyone have any idea?

HT1349 I can only use speaker on iphone. Built in speaker not working?

My built in speaker on my iphone is not working. I have to use speaker to hear caller

I did!! I went to Apple store, they ran diagnostics and cleaned it, all okay...got new sim card, AND still had the issue. I really didn't want to do a total restore as they suggested. It just so happened that I run the free version of Word with Friends. I was curious if some of the ads may have reckoned with it. So...I said to self, "Self, let's just delete the app." So I listened to self. And VIOLÁ!!! Problem solved!! Good luck with it...maybe if you run some "FREE" apps that run ads...could just be the issue!!

Does anyone know why i can only use my phone on speaker phone?

My phone just started only working on speakerphone. Just wondering what are some tricks to get it to work correctly?

Mine (iPhone 4 purchased in Feb of this year) did the same thing. Here's what I tried.
Reboot
Reset via iTunes and reinstall
*228 (verizon) programming (at this point you can see I was willing to try anything)
then looked around on the web and found lots of people with the same problem.
Called Verizon from a landline, went through all the steps they wanted to check at which point they transferred me to Apple. Apple handle the warranty replacement.
On the first transfer to Apple the call got dropped in the que,
Called Verizon again, same thing happened, but this time the Verizon representative had the mindfullness to give me a direct number to Apple.
Direct call to Apple and a person answered. Told them Verizon had checked out the phone and had sent me for a replacement. APPLE TOLD ME THE 90 DAY FREE TECH SUPPORT PERIOD HAD EXPIRED AND I WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE A ONE TIME TECH SUPPORT FOR $29.95 OR A LONG TERM ONE FOR $69.95. I DECLINED THE OFFER AND CALLED VERIZON AGAIN.
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT VERIZON HAS THE VERY BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE INDUSTRY. THEY SHIPPED A REPLACEMENT PHONE. IT ARRIVED THE NEXT DAY.

HT4623 Updating to ios 6 went fine, but suddenly yesterday I lost all speaker capability. Can't use speaker phone, can't hear iTunes playing thru speaker either. What's up? I've done a soft "reboot" and a reset, still no speakers. Thoughts?

I've got a real love/hate relationship with Apple right now. I love my iphone 5, but I'm hating the bs you have to go thru to get help. Everything was great, fine, wonderful on ios6 till yesterday when suddenly I lost speaker capability. No speaker on calls, no speaker on Siri, no speaker on dialing, no speaker on iTunes. A soft reboot and a reset did nothing to change things.
A quick peek at other Apple forums shows this is likely a software issue in ios6, so does that mean I just have to wait on Apple to come up with a fix?

You can back up (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766) and restore (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414) your iPhone in iTunes.
If it is a software issue, the restore will resolve it.
If speaker doesn't work after that, it's a hardware issue, and the device needs to be serviced.

Can only use phone in speaker phone mode

I can only use the phone in speaker phone mode. Neither party can hear the phone in regular mode. Any ideas

Make an appointment for the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store if restoring doesn't solve the problem. If the phone is under warranty and there is no water damage or severe physical damage the phone will be replaced. If it is out of warranty or damaged the phone will be $199. This is the case in the US. This is actually a pretty good deal because it is equivalent to a subsidized iphone price.

Any idea why I can only hear a caller when I'm using speaker phone?

Hi goodferg,
The troubleshooting steps below may help you with the sound issue you are having with your iPhone 4:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
Resolution
Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Hope this helps!

TS1286 cannot hear voices en phone call can only use headset

cannot hear voices en phone call can only use headset

try to switch to loudspeaker mode. If both loudspeaker and normal mode doesn't work, then ur speaker would be damaged. Visit your nearest apple service center.

Can't hear phone calls/button sounds or use speaker phone lg extravert

I tried to make a phone call but can't hear any ringing, the call goes through but nothing happens. My volume for the earpiece is at maximum and so is the main volume on my phone, I can't hear the button sounds either. If I hit the play button, I can hear the ringtone it plays for volume check and it will also play the power up and power down tones. I tried to use speaker phone, but when I touch the button it won't work. I took the battery out and that did not help at all. I also reset my phone, and that also did not help. I checked my alarm setting since I use that frequently and it works just fine too. I am extremely unhappy because I had this phone replaced in August because the camera stopped working and now it looks like I'll have to do it again but out of warranty.

@ceasonly
I'm glad you still have some way to hear the audio on your phone, but let's get that speaker working! The most common reason for the phone's sound to stop working would be the switch on the side has been nudged accidently. Try to enable then disable Silent Mode http://bit.ly/Xhs40k to get the volume working again. Also, try to simply restart your iPhone by holding the power switch and home button together for 10 seconds. Nothing gets erased but it helps cleat out any temporary glitch your phone may experience.
If you're still having trouble, the next best step would be to reset the phone's settings http://bit.ly/HWRbPl. This does erase information from your phone, so make sure to back up http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 your iPhone information first.
Keep me posted if you continue to have audio trouble.

With 10.2 I can only use system speaker output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps. How can I set this device in FCP 10.2? (it is set in both system preferences and midi)

With 10.2 I can only use a system (e.g. speaker) output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used without any problems previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps (some like TwistedWave) setup in the program, and others (like Spotify) using system preferences & audio midi setup. How can I set the FF400 to be the sound output device in FCP 10.2? N.B. The FF400 is set as sound output device in both system preferences and audio midi setup.

From the fcp.co forum. See if this does anything for you.

I have the solution! Well it at least worked for me. This is the response I got from Apple, Can you please try the following steps towards fixing your audio issue, and report back with your results?
1. Open the application Audio Midi Setup (located in Applications : Utilities)
2. Select the Output Tab for the current output device
3. Select the Configure Speakers option
4. Select the Multichannel tab
5. Change the setting to Stereo Now mine was set to stereo but the left channel wasn't showing left. re-clicking on stereo reloaded the settings and after clicking apply it worked.

With iOs 7 and the iPhone can someone use the phone while also using a communication app such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These are text to speech systems for people who cannot speak well. Thanks you!

With ios 7 and the iPhone can someone use their phone while also using a text to speech app, such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These apps are used by people who have difficulty with speech production.
Thank you.

My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

I am from argentina and i want to buy an iPhone 5s, but in my country i can only use it if the phone is unlocked , i want to know if i buy one of t mobile with no contract and i travel to mi country ( internationaly) i can use it with a sim from argentina

You should go onto the Tmobile web site and look around. Very soon a pop up window will ask you if you want to chat. You can try asking for someone who knows Spanish (if you prefer), they might have someone available who can chat with you in Spanish.
I give this suggestion because I remember on the Tmobile website, you can order on line, but they let you choose to pay only a little money up front, then pay off the rest over 24 months, or you can choose to pay for it in full. However, their ordering process does not say whether the paid for in full phone is going to be unlocked or not.
It may not be, You may have to make a request and say that since you have paid in full please unlock. I am not so sure that a paid for in full phone is automatically sold in unlocked state.
This is why I suggest you talk to Tmobile to get a definite answer.
Unless someone else on this forum knows for sure? Hope someone else jumps in to answer. But the best way is to ask for yourself directly from Tmobile.
