im having trouble with my i phone 4 ...when i make a call the other person can not hear me

Kayla, check the grill that covers the microphone (bottom left next to charging port) and make certain there isn't any dirt, makeup, spilled soda clogging the grill causing it to fail. My sister had a similar issue with her earphone and while I was in the process of replacing it for the third time I decided to check the grill under a very bright light and it was totally clogged up causing her not to be able to hear her phone calls. Use a Q-Tip dipped in hot water and gently wipe the grill. Just barely moisten it, no need to go crazy with the water. Might as well clean the earphone and speaker on the bottom right too. Anyhow, that could be what your issue is and if so it's a really simple fix. If that doesn't help just replace the microphone. It'd cost maybe $5 and ten minutes of your time to do. Good luck, John

  • When making a cellular call the other person cannot hear me. FaceTime + Skype Work OK!

    Hi Guys,
    I have an iPhone 4 (non 'S') 16GB Black.
    I have the most strangest problem I've ever had on iPhone (I've had every gen so far).
    Here is the problem:
    I make a standard cellular call and the other person is not able to hear me. If I make a FaceTime call though, the person can hear me no problem. I tried Skype too and that is OK also. So I know the microphone works, just not over cellular network.
    I tried the sim in another iPhone I have access to. (iPhone 4S) and calls work fine on that one. So I know it's not a network issue.
    I'm absolutely stumped by this issue.
    I have tried the following:
    Backing up my phone, entering DFU and re-setting back to factory, then restored from backup. It worked for a little while (maybe a week?) then the problem happened again.
    I backed up my phone again and did the DFU reset but instead of restoring from backup, I ran with a vanilla phone for a while - this time it didn't last 2 days before it went silent again.
    I have since DFU'd and Restored my phone 3 more times again but it has not cleared the issue this time - the problem is now constant it seems.
    Over the past 3 months, I have restored, reset my phone to get rid of the problem many times, each time with different results. Sometimes it works for a while, other times it doesn't fix the problem.
    It sounds hardware related but I keep coming back to the thought of "well if it works in FaceTime, it can't be hardware". But if it's not hardware, what is it?
    Any help on this one is very much appreciated.
    P.s. no, it's not muted

    no setting need to be changed. you may try these steps http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180

  • After connecting my blue tooth it works for a few incoming and outgoing calls.  Then for no reason when i make a call the other party cannot hear me and even if i try to click on the  speaker phone or hand set they cannot hear me.  rebooting required

    Blue tooth operation and lock up.  After i connect my bluetooth it works fine foe a few calls.  Then if i place an outgoing call, I cannot hear the reciving party but they can hear me.  Other times i can hear them but they cant hear me.  After rebooting the phine it works again for a few calls.  This is consistent with 2 diferent blue tooth devices?

    Sorry about the delay, I have been away from my computer for a couple of days.
    Since you are able to use Siri and dictate notes, that indicates the mic itself is working.
    I would suggest fully quiting the Phone app and resetting the iPhone.
    Double click the Home button (bottom center of the display with square icon on it) to get the fast switcher. Press and hold on one of the icons so they start "shivering" and the red "-" icons. locate the Phone icon and press the red "-" on it. Then press the Home button again to stop the "shivering".
    Then Reset the iPhone, press and hold the Home and Sleep/power (top right edge of iPhone) buttons until you get the Apple logo. Wait for it to finish restarting and then test again.

  • When I make a call the person can hear me but all I hear are high pitched screaches

    Hi, Can anyone help me - When i make a call the other person can hear me fine but all I hear are high pitched screaches?

        SouthernJo, Let's make sure your phone is connected properly! Blue lights are usually a  good sign. LCan you please dial #48 on your handset to ensure you're connected http://vz.to/1BbtYmA?  What message do you hear when doing so? We'll figure this out, together.

    I am having trouble with new I-Phone 4 battery running down in 5 hrs.? Help.

    Do you have alot of apps running in background? Tap home key 2 times and there's a list across screen with icons you can deselect them by hold on one and they wiggle touch the minus button and it will deactivate them untill you use them again. Do you have the phone dim after so many seconds or minutes? Is the screen bright all time? Do you go on the Internet or watch video on phone?
    These things can affect the hrs of use.

    You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

    "Your options are:
    Get a trial account form @mac which will work as an iChat name after the 60 days run out but not be a email account that is valid (And is free)"
    Do you mean a trial account from .Mac? (DotMac)
    "Get an AIM Screen name and set it to Display what you want as you set it up.
    The Screen name can be whatever yu want but you can also set it to display something else as well."
    I had thought about this, but it seems other people have already chosen the screen name "pinksharkmark" and virtually every variation of it I can think of. So that isn't an option for me. As for getting it to display something else as well, do you mean that if I were to get an AIM screen name like "CromulentCat" I could somehow log in to iChat under the AIM account "CromulentCat" yet get iChat to represent me to my Buddies as "PinkSharkMark"? Because I have to admit I don't see how that can be done. It appears as if iChat displays to anyone chatting with you precisely the account name you logged in under and nothing else. So if you logged in using a .Mac account, then you are displayed as "[email protected]" while if you logged in under an AIM account, you are displayed as "CromulentCat". But that's it that's all... there is no way to change CromulentCat to PinkSharkMark.
    Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, though.

  • Sometimes when I make a call the receiving party hears a ring but neither one of us can hear the other.  Is this my phone or the network I am using?

    It appears to be a bug with the iphone 4S.
