IPhone 4, I can't hear the person I'm calling!!

Hi Guys,
I'm hoping someone can save me, I have a new iPhone 4 not even a week old. When I have a call I cannot hear the other person unless I switch the phone to 'Speaker'. I have tried rebooting and restoring the phone to default factory settings and it has not helped anyone got any thoughts.
Cheers

I too am having this problem. I decided to call Apple support today and the first suggestion was to switch over to speakerphone (as Chatterbug suggested). I haven't tried this but was hoping for a better solution. She then told me she hasn't heard of this problem before and this worries because the device isn't worth keeping if I can't make calls.
She also said I should try to restore the phone and start from scratch and slowly add the apps back to find one that may be causing the problem. If that doesn't work, she suggested I take it to an Apple store to have it looked at.
I certainly hope I can find a troubled app becuase this is my second iPhone 4 and the first one did the same thing (it's one of the reasons I returned it). Issues like these are why I went to Apple products
I wish I had a better response for you Chatterbug and if I find one I'll repost. Please do the same.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • When making a call, I can't hear the person I am calling, but they can hear me. How do I fix this problem?

    Hey guys,
    I can play music and hear it just fine, with or without headphones. When I press on the keypad I can hear the noise it makes, I can hear calls with my headphones plugged in, or when the speaker option is on, however, unless this happens, I can't hear the person I am on the phone with.
    I've tried restarting, resetting, earasing all content, and restoring it with iTunes and that didn't work.
    I've tried cleaning the ports with a toothbrush, or pressing gently on the microphone and that didn't work.
    I've tried calling with the headphone on, and taking them off in the middle of the call and that didn't work either.
    I am currently outside of the US so I can't go to an Apple store, so I am wondering if any of you guys have been succesful at solving this problem. Your help is much appreciated
    Thanks again,

    If you can listen to the other person on loud speaker, means your earpeice got damaged.
    If you have warranty (1 year is basic, upto 3yrs if you bought an extended apple care), you can take your iphone to any apple store in the world for a free repair, yes, apple warranties are international.
    But usually they replace it with another new phone.
    So make sure you update your phone and backup everything on your itunes.
    Even if you're ot of warranty, you can get it fixed from apple by paying extra.
    For now you have to use headphone or loud speaker
    Goodluck

  • I can't hear the person I'm calling (they can hear...

    Nokia Lumia 925 have cyan update , 10 months old.
    Since the yesterday I can no longer hear the person I'm trying to talk to. They can hear me.
    All other sound functions seem to be OK.
    Any ideas?

    Did you check the 'in-call' volume ? When you are connected on a call, increase the volume and see if you can hear the caller ..

        Hello Runietunt!
    Thank you for answering all of those questions as it does help slim down the issue.  I'm sorry you're having audio issues in the first place. It would be my pleasure to provide some suggestions.
    Please follow these steps:
    - While the phone is on, remove the battery for 10 seconds. Reinsert, power on & retest.
    - If issues persist place the phone in Safe Mode and test:
    http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=32775
      If you don't have the issue during Safe Mode then it would be a 3rd Party application causing the issue.
    - If you still have no audio, **ensure all of your personal information is backed up and Hard Reset your phone:
    http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31759
    **Please verify the below information before you complete a Hard Reset.
    Your contacts generally back up to Backup Assistant or Gmail/Google. Your media generally backs up to an SD Card. You can redownload your applications by visiting google.com/play and choosing the My Android Apps.
    Please advise if you're still having the issue after completing these steps.

  • HT4515 Just tried to place a call on my new iPhone5S.     I can hear the person I'm calling, they cannot hear me.    The microphone icon has a line through it, but tapping the icon does not make a difference.

    Just tried to place a call with my new iPhone.  I can hear the person I'm calling but they cannot hear me.     There is a line across the microphone icon, which I took to mean muted but nothing changes when I tap it.    What am I doing - or not doing?

    is your mute switch turned on (above the volume) ?  remove case and screen protecter.
    is volume turned up?
    if so do this
    account security
    Please call apple @ 1-800-692-7753 in USA
    ask for the account security team
    you may want to add a credit card to your iTunes account  before calling; so they will have a way to verify your identity.

  • I can barely hear the person on the other line, i tried resetting but it didnt work

    I can barely hear the person on the other line, i tried resetting as suggested by other users but it didn't work. Help!!

    Do you have a screen protector covering the speaker?
    Have you powered the iPhone off and back on?

  • Every time I make a call or I'm receiving a call my phone is extremely static i can't hear the person on the other line and the person on the other line cannot hear anything They say that they hear a lot of static now my videos when I play a video on YouT

    Every time I make a call or I'm receiving a call my phone is extremely static i can't hear the person on the other line and the person on the other line cannot hear anything They say that they hear a lot of static now my videos when I play a video on YouTube for instance works just fine Siri  works just fine. I can't make a call or receive a call whatsoever because all I hear is static and I haven't dropped the phone in water nothing has really happened this literally happened overnight

    This is a wireless carrier issue.  The fact that the speaker & microphone work properly for other apps is a great indicator that your device is fine.
    Contact your wireless carrier about your call quality issue.

  • I can't hear the person talking.!

    I've had my N96 for just over a year and there haven't been any problems with the audio; but a few days ago when I answered a call, I wasn't able to hear the person I was calling. However, i can hear them on loudspeaker/headphones perfectly fine. I've tried changing the volume and taking out the battery etc. but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.
    Can someone please help!
    All advice is appreciated.

    Sounds like ear-piece problem or its not working completely, have you tried calling someone and were you are able to hear the ringing tone?

    My Magic Jack is not working properly. I can make a call and the person I have called can hear me but I can't hear them. What can I do to fix this?

    if it play not sound at all then it's likely the hardware issue where the headset detector gets stuck
    like this the detector just is stuck in the opposite way

  • Why can't I hear the person I'm calling???

    Ok I know the subject line sounds like I'm a couple sandwiches short of a picnic.  But honestly just a couple days ago my Blackberry phone rang, I go to answer the call and I can't hear the caller on the phone, but they can hear me.  The only way I can have a conversation with anyone is by using my speaker.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this happening and how to correct the problem???

    I spent sometime with their on-line techs, they restored my phone to factory settings but the same problem was happening.  Because I've still have a warranty on my phone, I was able to have it replaced.
    If that happens to be your case, remember to back up or sync your phone with your computer.  You'll loose all your information if not.  Must be a batch of defective phones, we must be the lucky ones to have 2 of them huh?
    Good luck!

    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430

    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose an option:
