I cannot hear the caller on my iphone until I turn on the speaker

I cannot hear the caller on my iphone 4 until I turn on the speaker. They seem to be able to hear me but I cannot hear them until I manually turn on the speaker

Hi, I had the same problem until this morning when I was advised by the technician at the Apple store to plug the phone into my computer, thus opening itunes, which will back up my phone settings. Then click on my phone so that I get the option of "check for updates" or "restore". Click on restore, which removes the software from the iphone, and then reinstalls it. Sync all your apps, and tunes back and then try it. It worked for me so good luck.

    If you need to use the phone now, try using speaker phone until you can take it to an Apple store and have them further look into the problem.

  • TS3406 I am unable to hear caller on my Iphone 6 unless it is on speaker. any ideas on correcting the issue

    When making a call I cannot hear the other party unless I have my speaker on. Any idea on how to get phone to work without using the speaker to take private calls.

    Hello sirwin1999,
    For issues of not being able to hear from the receiver on your iPhone 6, then check out the article below. It will have you check the connections making sure that Bluetooth is not on as well as clearing out anything near the receiver itself.

  • Iphone3G Cannot Hear the Caller... Even the Mobile Phone Cannot Fix it...

    Hi everyone! I cannot hear the callar in my Iphone 3G 8GB ... I put it to the mobile phone shop to repair... but even they installed the new little voice speaker (in the top of the iphone)... the iphone still does not have any voice from the caller... if I turn the speaker on... it does have voice and it is very loud and clear...
    Anyone knows what is wrong with my iphone? I went to a shop in Berlin before and they fixed it right away... but in the mobile phone shop in liverpool... they cannot fix it...
    Thanks a lot!
    Hopelessness.

    I went to a shop in Berlin before and they fixed it right away... but in the mobile phone shop in liverpool... they cannot fix it...
    If the shop in Berlin really fixed it, why does it need to be fixed again?

  • When i call some user i cannot hear the ringing tone...what can i do

    i just get an iphone's; but strangely when i call a user i cannot hear the ringing tone rimaining in the doubt if i am really calling someone; by the way calling myself at home the phone works perfectly; maybe the ringing tone inside is off? cannot find the solution in FAQ

    OK, so it sounds like your internal speaker is damaged or not working.
    Try this first... Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
    Now, try using the internal speaker again. If it works, good.
    If not, there's some other problem. Is this device fairly new, as in less than a year, you should get a warranty replacement device from your mobile service provider.

  • HT4972 People cannot hear me properly on my iPhone 4, although I can hear them very well. Would upgrading to iOS 5 perhaps sort this out, or any other software matter, or is it more likely to be a problem with the microphone?

  • I cannot hear ANY music on my iPhone

    I cannot hear ANY music on my iPhone. I can make and receive phone calls even in speakerphone mode, but I cannot hear any of tracks that synced from iTunes, not even with the headphones. Is anybody having the same problem? Does anybody have any idea on how to fix it ? I do not want to reset the phone for fear of having to reactivate it. Is Apple aware of this critical problem ?

    So basically if a iphone has a fault after the 1 year warranty period is over, there is nothing the consumer can do but purchase a new phone??
    Pretty much. Except that Apple will replace it for a fixed fee that is far less than the cost of a new phone. In the US the replacement cost for an iPhone 4 is $149. It is comparable in the UK. Unless you can prove that the fault was present at the time of purchase. A switch wearing out would probably be considered normal wear and tear, not a "fault".

    After I have been talking on my iPhone 6 for awhile and then want to go to speaker phone, I cannot find the speaker icon.  Any help?

    Here's the situation.  I received a text while I was talking on the phone.  Went right to text, then could not get back to the screen.  After trial and error, I discovered a little green message at the top of the phone that said "Touch to return to call".  Problem solved.
