IOS5 on iphone 4 - Callers can't hear me!

Hi,
I had just installed iOS5 on my iphone 4 recently. All was working fine but now suddenly my callers can't hear me on the phone but I can hear them very clearly. The same happens when I plug in the earphones too. The microphone in the phone is working cos I have tried and I can still record voice memos.
It seems like the phone is on constant mute. Can anyone help? Thank you!

I'm having the same problem with my iPhone4 S.  First, I'll dial out and the I hear absolute silence but my phone indicates that it's sucessfully calling out (oh...and the party on th other line can hear me but I can't hear them).  I thought my phone wasn't connecting to the caller.  I'll call again and but this time the callers cannot hear me but I can hear them perfectly.  I hang up and make repeated attempts and then reset my phone.  It works but then I have the same problem with my next call.  I don't want to reset my phone before every call! Very, very irritating. 
Is anyone else having these specific problems???

  • When bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone?

    when bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone but it rings through the bluetooth headsets?
    In other phones, you can hear the phone ringing and if it was connected to bluetooth, you could pick up the call from the bluetooth headset.
    Here with iphone, if its connected to bluetooth headset, it only rings through the headset, which means that if you dont have the headset in the ear all the time, you cannot know that you have an incoming call or message.
    Any ideas - solutions - comments please?

    I'm having the same problem. I had a plantronics 975 (which I lost, sadly). When connected, the ringer would always be routed through the bluetooth and the iPhone's external speaker. When in silent mode, the iPhone would only vibrate, but I could still hear the ringer in the bluetooth.
    I just bought a new Plantronics Voyager+. Now when it's connected, all sounds are routed to the earpiece - including the taps, etc. The iPhone's speaker doesn't ring at all, unless the bluetooth is disconnected or powered off. I'd really like to be able to hear both, like I was before. This is an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 (latest version, not sure what it is exactly). Haven't updated software/firmware in between bluetooths, just changed the earpiece.

    Subscribed to iTunes Match - ok on iphone, but can't hear tunes on Mac Book Pro (?)

    Hi,
    Why can't you hear your music on your mac book? Your music needs to be in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribe to iTunes Match.

  • IPhone 5c with iOS 7.0.2 callers can't hear me!

    Ok so I got the 5c and all was fine until I updated it to 7.0.2. Now when I am in a call people can bearly hear me. I have completely restored the phone but it is still the same. It must be a software issue as I have realised that if you cover the small hole on the rear by camera people can then hear me. Seems others may too have the same problem?
    Is there another update due?
    Thanks Darren

    I upgraded from a 4S to a 5C and didn't realize that I was holding the new phone differently. In my situation, my little finger would cover the microphone (on the bottom near the ear jack) during my calls. I had no idea I was the cause for my callers not hearing me. If you're reading this it's because you have tried everything. You might as well try this too. :-)

  • Callers Can't Hear Me on Multiple Bluetooth Headsets

    After getting tired of having my corded headphones ripped out of my ears when they get snagged on doorknobs I broke down and bought a wireless Bluetooth headphones (a Samsung Circle).
    I was able to pair it with no issue.
    I could hear music fine.
    I could stream Sirius XM.
    I could voice-to-text with no issue.
    I could voice-to-text (email) with no issue.
    I could voice-to-text (Facebook Messenger) with no issue.
    I could talk to Siri with no issue.
    However, when I was trying to talk on the phone, the person on the other side could NOT hear me, but I could hear them.
    I dismissed this as a faulty headphones and returned it to Best Buy. I got a different one, a different brand and everything. Got the exact same result.
    This is ridiculous. So I tried my Plantronics bluetooth headset which worked in the past. Now THAT ONE isn't working. I can hear callers, but they can't hear me. So that's three different Bluetooth headsets.
    My earbuds work fine.
    My speakerphone works fine.
    The standard iPhone handset works fine.
    The problem is isolated to Bluetooth headsets (single ear and double), while using the phone... people just can't hear me. I tried muting/unmuting and that didn't work either. I can click back and forth between the speaker and iPhone and they work fine, but I switch to the Bluetooth and nothing. No one can hear me.
    I have an iPhone 5s running 8.1.3. I tried restarted, synching, deleting all the Bluetooth connections and rediscovering them ... nothing.

    I've had this same problem for a while now. iPhone 5s on Verizon, and same issue with Blueant, Jabra, and Plantronics headsets.
    Sometimes the people on the other end can hear me, most of the time not. I can always hear them.
    I had the Blueant headset for a while and it worked fine. It was just a cheap one to keep me going until I got another one. Got the Jabra Supreme, it worked fine for a while but then started intermittently not transmitting my voice to the listener. I can hear them fine but they can't hear me. Thought it was the headset, so got the Plantronics Voyager Edge bluetooth headset but same issue. Can't figure out if it was concurrent with a system update or not that the problem manifested itself, but it wasn't apparent from the getgo, so it started sometime after I'd been using the phone with headset for a while.
    I'm glad (but sorry) to read that your wiping the device didn't make a difference as I was just about to try that, but don't want to do so if it's not going to make a difference.
    Just updated to 8.3 today, so hoping that maybe something will be different. Charging up all 3 headsets now in hopes that problem will be miraculously gone.
    No one seems to have a clue as to why this is, what could be causing it, and what to do about it. Frustrating to say the least. I had a Plantronics with my cheap old flip phone and it was fantastic. I used it for business every day. Now I'm relegated to using the speaker phone on the iPhone until I can get this figured out.

  • Iphone 5-can't hear anyone in phone mode

    I bought my Iphone 5 and three weeks later, one week after I could send it back, I began to have problems where I cannot hear anyone when i call them. I can't hear the ring, I can't hear them say  hello, nothing.  They can hear me clearly.  I've been working with tech support and we have done everything to resolve the issue.  Now they want to send me a "replacement" phone. Which is basically a refurbished phone that they certify works properly.  However, when I tell, both customer service and tech support personnel, about my problems with replacement devices, they tell me this is my only option.
    Four years ago I had a Mifi device that kept throwing me off the internet.  I spent hours with tech support and they sent me a "replacement" device, that never solved the problem.  I basically staggered through that contract then Verizon convinced me to renew my contract with a new Wifi device that was better.  Of course after a few months, same problem.  Worked with tech support and for four years now I've been with an internet that keeps kicking me off the internet every five minutes. 
    Then I bought my wife an Iphone 4.  That phone  just stopped working one day for no reason.  She recently got her "replacement" phone and we will see how that works. Like and idiot I went out and bought a 4s.  My phone stopped working after just before the warranty was up so they sent a "replacement" phone.  A few months later, that phone stopped charging correctly.  They wanted me to pay $165 through the insurance to replace that "replacement" phone but I said no and limped through a few more months and upgraded to an I-phone 5, renewing my contract.  What a mistake that was.  Three weeks later, my Iphone 5 won't let me hear anyone.  Three weeks with a brand new Iphone??? This phone has been treated like a baby.  Its never been dropped, been near water, and stays in an Otter Box.  But three weeks later and I can't even hear people I call unless I put it on speaker phone.  Tech support walked me through everything, but alas, still doesn't work.  You know what they want to do?  Send me a "replacement" phone.
    I told them I was done with smart phones.  I offered to renew my contract, with two of my four devices, if they would let me send back my Iphone 5 ( where i would lose the $199 I paid for it) if they would just send me two basic phones.  I offered to completely renew my contract on those two lines for the basic free phones.  They said no because I had no contract upgrades.  Really?  I just renewed my contract and three weeks later my brand new phone went dumb on me.  So then I offered to accept two cheap "used" basic phones. They give these out for FREE!!!  And I would renew on both lines for 2 years.  They said they couldn't do that.
    I've been with Verizon a very long time.  I love their coverage and their customer service.  It is tops.  However, I am done with device issues.  Three of my device contracts expire by October 13th.  I will let them expire and buy my way out of the 4th contract.  It will be expensive, but I'm going back to a basic phone with a new provider.  I can't believe Verizon would let me go for two cheap replacement basic phones.  LOL.  They could take my Iphone 5 back and refurbish it and it would be worth 5 times what those two basic phones would be.  The only thing I cant think of is they don't want me to cancel the data packages on those two lines.  But guess what?  If I go somewhere else, I wont be paying Verizon anything.  How dumb is that???  Perhaps I should agree to have them send me a replacement phone.  Then I will sell it on Craigslist and thats they money I will use to pay off this new contract on this one remaining line.

    I have "reviewed my account" and my "options" with several Verizon representatives.  We keep going around in circles and I get told the same thing each time.  I don't wish to do it a fourth or fifth time.  You want to replace my phone with a "Like new" device.  I'm not interested.  Ive done that several times before and had worse problems.  You all act like this is the first issue I have had, but I have been trying to explain I've had this issue with a MIFI device, for four years, iisues with an Iphone 4, Iphone 4s, and now my Iphone 5 after only owning it for 21 days. 
    I would be stupid to accept the "options" that have been presented to me.  I am seeking advice on how to get out of the contracts I have on all four of my devices from another source.  I am not happy about all the problems I have had with my devices and Im frustrated to the point where I don't want to deal with it any longer.

  • Iphone 4 can't hear me, but I hear them

    My iphone 4 I can hear them, but they can't hear me. They can hear me on speaker and they can hear me with my Bluetooth. This happened a couple of months ago. I went to the Apple store. They told me that the moisture indicator was orange at the bottom of the phone (under the Charging/data port), bu tnot the one in the headset port, which would make sense why it was the bottom 2 speakers that weren't working. No I explained to the Apple employee that my iphone had NEVER gotten wet, that I knew of anyway. He explained it could even be moisture from the bathroom if the phone is in there & the bathroom gets steamy. Now it's happening again!!!! BUT I talked with a lady today in my office building that has an iphone 4 and it's been doing the SAME thing. Funny thing is, her moisture indicator is NOT orange. I think this is an iphone defect and they SHOULD fix this problem for iphone 4 users!!!!

    There are several posts about this problem already. IOS 4.2 is supposed to fix the problem.

  • CALLERS CAN'T HEAR ME - AND I'M NOT PUSHING 'MUTE'

    Frequently when I answer or make a call on my Droid X the person on the other end can not hear me.  I can hear them, but they can not hear me.
    I just replied to a recent post of someone having the same problem, but just realized the post was marked 'answered' so no one would probably look at it.  The link posted in the 'answer' does not work, however, so I'm re-posting my question here....
    The problem happens without warning and not on every call...and I am NOT pushing the mute button by mistake. I have taken out the battery many times which will fix the problem temporarily.  I contacted Verizon yesterday and the tech said something about the 4G and 3G signals being changed....she had to 'reset' something, after which she told me to call *228 to re-program my phone.  It worked for less than 24 hours, and today, it happened again - twice.  I had to pull the battery out for a few minutes and then restart the phone.  It seems to go less time fixed in-between the battery resets.
    The Verizon tech said I could get a replacement re-furbished phone - but I have read online so many problems with refurbished phones.  I am hesitant to reload all the apps and settings on to another problem phone.
    When I call customer service they act like I am the only customer with the problem.  I've done a google search of the issue and have found MANY with the same problem, but NO solutions or reason for the problem.   I've spent a lot of time with customer service and they are shooting in the dark it seems - with no real idea of the problem or how to correct it.  Does anyone know of the cause and/or a REAL fix to the problem??

    That's true Koosh that is Unless some little Varmint Went into that Phone and put the 4G in there b33

  • 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,
    Rosin
    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.

  • Brand New Iphone 4 - can not hear when on a call and they can't hear me!!!

  • IPhone 4 Mic Problem - Receivers and/or callers can't hear me

    Hi everyone
    I'm using iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1. I've noticed lately (not sure since which software updates) that my phone sometimes wouldn't be able to hear the person on the other side (the caller when they called me or the receiver when I called them). I have to turn the power off and back on to be able to hear again. And sometimes it takes more than one time reboot to get it back.
    Yes, I did drop the phone numerous times and I suspect this is the cause? I've done some googling myself and found some options to 'fix' the screw next to camera. But problem is, I don't see any screw near the camera. So I'm guessing that wasn't for iPhone 4? I don't know!
    Is this common problem in iPhones or just mine (and very few others)? Has anyone found the solution? If you do please share.
    Thanks
    Edahani

  • After iOS 5 update callers can't hear me

    I have an AT&T iphone 4 that was working great before the update. After searching online I found someone who suggested turning the speaker on and off, that worked a couple of times, but now no one can hear me. I went to AT&T and they hadn't heard of the problem and had me call the 1-800-my-iphone number. There they had me restore the phone which worked at first, but after I reloaded my contacts, the same issue again.  I have tried the restore again and no luck. Anyone else having this problem? I hoped the new update might help this, but no. My husband is starting to hate my iPhone. Please help!

    Same problem.

  • IPhone 4S can not hear music cannot turn down volume

    IPhone 4S cannot hear music playing cannot turn down volume or in control center... PLEASE HELP!!

    I asked that question in regards to your comment about a red zone in volume. I do not have that on my phone.
    You state that you have already done a restore, so the only other step in troubleshooting is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the device checked by Apple.
