IPhone 4 - other party can't hear me during calls?

Just the other day I was on the phone with one of my friends, when all of a sudden she said she couldn't hear me anymore. I wasn't too worried, but after I called about 4-5 other people to test this, I became slightly concerned. The next step I took was to take a voice memo- it worked fine, so I don't think the mic is the issue. I updated to iOS 6.1 (I believe?) last night after all of this, and it appeared to work. However, after being on the phone for some time the other person could not hear me. I have tried just about everything.. I tried simple remedies like playing/stopping music and restarting my phone (which worked for 5 minutes in a call), unplugging/plugging in headphones.. neither have worked. I also tried turning my phone off for the night (last night) and in the morning it appeared to work, but alas, it's no longer working. I am at my absolute wits end and I haven't a clue what to do to make this work. I'd really only like to factory reset my phone as a last resort. Are there any things anyone has tried that have worked? Is this a software or a hardware issue? Can I have this repaired by Apple? Any help would be great.

Unfortunately the previous IOS wont be restored just your data. We´ll have to wait for the new IOS 6.1.1 which is currently being tested. Here I really verified the problem has been caused after the upgrade and It´s really a software issue because if when I answer the call I scream the first HELLOOO then the mic sensibility will be changed for the rest of the talk, so the mic or hardware is ok.
Many 4S owners are complaining not just about this specific problem but others related to call drops. We´ve got to wait

Take it in to an Apple store or authorized service center for evaluation and possible replacement.

Just got iPhone 4S, people unable to hear me during calls but I can hear them? Is it repairable or do I need to take to apple store to get new one?

Hi, Laura.
There are some troubleshooting steps that we can process prior to opting for a repair. If you do have a protective film on your device make sure that is removed and test to see if the behavior persists. Below, I have attached an article that goes over some basic troubleshooting steps. After all steps are processed and the issue persists, we can service your unit at your local Apple Retail Store. You can schedule an appointment buy clicking this link http://www.apple.com/retail/.

Iphone 4, people can't hear me during a call

Hello,
I'm reporting an issue related to "phone call" that seems to be common with Iphone 4, but I can not find the proper fix.
First of all My mobile is an Iphone 4 out of warranty, and thus no chance to get any replacement from apple.
Few weeks ago the phone just falls and then my problems during phone call starts:
During calls or right at the start of a call peolpe can not hear me. If I just tap at the rear of the phone or just push hard on the back of the phone, it comes back.
But this is a pain as few seconds after people can hear me again...then tap on the phone...this back...and again and again..
I've tried all these fixes found on forum, but it does not solve the problem.
- Itune restore/updqte under DFU: no change
- Use earphones : no change
- try without 3G: no change
- check sim card: no change
- change the iphone micro (bottom one): no change
- clean the ambiance micro hole (top one): no change
- put some plastics spacer like there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jhWxYTVxe4 : no change
Note that face time: is working fine and sound recorder also!!!!
Please any idea? Does apple plan to update IOS. I heard it was linked to Audio conversion CPU that was poorlu soldered?!!
Thanks

Yeah,
That *****. I've been a super loyal customer.
I'm basically an apple freak and have dragged a number of my friends down the apple road... Macbook pros, ipads, iphones.. and now I'm stuck with a broken iPhone..
I've found that the people at the "Genius Bar" are not that genius. Once... ONCE I've come one that was super helpful and smart, but all the other times, they were trying to give me lame excuses and beat around the bush. That's when I started to explain to them. (I seriously contemplated on working at Apple as one of the genius guides.) I'd rather have a plain "I don't know" answer than tell me a bunch of nonsense (if you know what I mean).
Anyways. Thanks for the reply.
I really don't know what to do with my phone now.. And I'm not really willing to pay $190 to trade/replace my iPhone 4. It's a bit too much for me. And its not even an upgrade to the iPhone 4s!!
Thanks for letting me vent..
Thanks Vazaria!
Let me know if anything turns up!
God bless!

HT201328 People can`t hear me during calls but i can hear them (probably *not* a mic problem)

I unlocked the iPhone From AT&T, its working well in browsering and i can hear people in calls, but people can`t hear me (even with earphones! it`s not a mic problem!!) help me please..

I had the same problem this morning. I tried reset on phone a few times. Nothing. Then I restored it from iTunes and it worked fine. This has happened to me before -- don't know the root of it, but restoring has worked so far. Good luck.

Why people can't hear me during calls?

When I am calling someone I have to shout into my phone so the person can hear me. If I am within the same house or short distance from someone they can hear me fine but once it is far away call they can hardly hear me.   I went to apple store and they ran a test on my phone and they said it worked fine. I also want to the verizon store and reconnected it to the network.

Ereeamazing, you don't know that it is a network coverage. Or service provider issue, why would you even state that? Trying to further bloat your post count?
skycem, I had this same issue with a #Z30 model, and after much troubleshooting software it was determined to be a hardware issue.
I'd recommend a warranty replacement from your seller. I had to replace mine.

IPhone 5 - other party can't hear me clearly

I received my iphone 5 and immediately had the complaints about poor voice/sound quality, on the end of the receiver of my calls. Same when LTE on/off. Same whether I call them or they call me. The complaint is that my voice sounds muffled, as if I was holding the phone to my shoulder. When I select speaker phone I am instantly clear to the other person. Same if I use the included earpiece. Haven't tried bluetooth earpiece but considering it.
First step tp resolve was trip to Apple store. Replaced phone. Phone #2 did same thing. Called apple support, they couldn't understand me, said they wanted to help me with my problem but they couldn't hear what I was saying. Exactly. Second trip to Apple store, tech rep ("Genius?") couldn't replicate issue, calls to test were made in very noisy environment. Muffled sounds from my phone seem worst when calling from very quiet environment. Third trip to Apple store today, got replacement phone (phone # 3!). Same issue, no better quality.
Anyone else have this issue? Help! Paid quite a bit for 32GB black ATT phone, shame to have such poor quality.

Possible fix........
Yesterday I updated the OS to the latest release. Then right after that I called AT&T and they reset my sim card. Or something like that. They did some sort of reset.
I then got in my car and drove around to test the phone. Because that is when the problem is worse. FINALLY they claim to be able to hear me clearly!!!!
I think it was the combination of both the OS update and the sim card reset that fixed it. Hopefully..... It has only been one day but so far so good. I'll update this post if things change.
Try this and let us know if this works for you.

Others can't hear me during calls

Bought Xperia Z3C and from the first day some calls didn't work well...
Others couldn't hear me about 60-70% of the calls, they heard like wind is blowing into the mic and when I put the call on loudspeaker then it worked, they heard me loud and clear.
So I took the phone back and ordered a new one, cause I really like Z3C, even more, if it would work with no problems
So my new, second Z3C, same green beauty - but same problem! Only this time about half of the calls act like that. I tried repairing with PCC on the first phone and tried doing the tests, neither helped and tests showed that everything is ok. Few times, if I put the call on speaker and then back, it worked again, but not always.
So my question is - Has anyone else had this kind of problem? And if so, what did You do? Is there even anything to do? Is it hardware or software?
There is no other phone I would like but it would be silly for me to try the same thing third time.

People can't hear me during calls but I hear them

Dear Apple,
Please write a patch or fix for this fric$##%%^% problem!!
I can't use the Fric(&((* phone as a phone.
The patch just needs to stop the controler or the proximity sensor from blocking out the bottom mic. That's all and we can all use this fri$%$ phone as a phone!!!
Otherwise I'll join those others going over to Galaxy's .... or worse some microsoft dragy phone....

Having upgraded iOS7 on both my iPad and iPhone yesterday, I am now not able to use my FaceTime on either device. I seem to get through and the other party can hear me but I can see nor hear nothing.

You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
this link talks about updating to 9A406 to fix the "No Service" issue with iPhone 4S:

TS1631 When I ring someone from my iPhone 4 they can't hear me sometimes and other times they can hear me fine. This has only started happening since I updated to iOS 6 it was perfect the day before.

Good news! I believe I have fixed my phone!!
A friend of mine was having the same problem that I was having where you could hear other people but they couldn't hear you.
We fixed the problem by redownloading the 4.2.1 update. 4th post down on this page: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1052794&page=5 is a list of links to the update files. I downloaded the one for my phone and did a restore (from a backup) after downloading the file and double clicking it so iTunes opens. Since I've done this my phone has been working perfectly again!
It might take you a few tries, it took my friend 3 tries until his worked right and it worked for me on the first try. I'm guessing something was screwing up during the download.

When I try to video chat the person on the other end can not hear me. I have video and I can hear them perfectly. They only have video, no sound. Please help!!

Hello there trix25,
It sounds like you are making and/or receiving calls but the other party cannot year you at all. I would use the troubleshooting in this article to help that very issue, named:
If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
