IPhone 4 self muting during calls

My phone only works 10% of the time. During calls my phone seams to self mute. I can hear the other person but they can't hear me. If I squeeze the bottom of the phone it starts to work, but I'm told the voice is all static on the other end. Searches on the net say it's an IC audio chip problem, any suggestions? Is it worth sending the phone back to apple to fix?

Droid Muting During Calls & Phone Running Slow

Muting/Dropped Calls:
I've had my Motorola Droid for almost a year and in the last several months it started muting during calls - I can hear them but they can't hear me. When I realize this, I'll look at my phone and it is either locked or out of the "In Call" screen (for lack of a better word). To fix it, I need to unlock it (if it's locked) and then enter back into the call by dragging down the top menu. After I'm back in the "In Call" screen, they can hear me (if they haven't hung up by this point). This sometimes happens several times within the period of a short call. Other times the call will drop completely.
I'm always very cautious about my face touching the screen as I realize this may be a cause. Although sometimes the screen is lit when the phone is to my face and the sensor should recognize it's up to my face. Sometimes it's black when it's away from my face and I can't get the screen to come back on without taking out the battery. This is especially unfortunate when my call is mute and I can't get back into the call.
I've tried *228, option 2. We'll see if that works...
Running Slow:
In addition to the muting/exiting calls/dropping calls, my Droid has been running especially slow in the last month. I've tried deleting applications, pictures, anything I could think might be slowing it down. But it continues to take 5-10 seconds or so to go from email/calendar/texts to the home screen or to open anything.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

My phone used to mute and disconnect all the time. I almost lost my mind! I never have the problem anymore since I downloaded an app called Screen Suite. It costs about $3 and is well worth it. I have had it now for a few months and my problem is solved. The app is available from the market. I highly recommend it. Good luck!

IPhone 4 stays lit during calls

My iPhone 4 stays lit during calls. It causes me to hit the mute, FaceTime and contact buttons during calls. I took my otter box off and it still does this. Can anyone help me?

This is Proximity Sensor problem. This sensor is located on the Power Button Flex Cable. If the iPhone front screen has been replaced this is known problem. Restore iPhone with current iTunes on computer.

Iphone 3g blank screen during calls

I bought a 3g last week to replace an original iphone that had stopped working. Everything seemed to work on the new phone except that during calls the screen would go blank and I could not get it back by holding it away from my ear, hitting the Home button, or anything else except the on/off button at the top, which ended the call. I was on the phone with apple tech support for several hours, trying all sorts of things that didn't solve the problem.
Then my grandson came home and looked at my phone. He surmised that the case, which I had transferred from my original iphone, was blocking the sensors. This turned out to be correct. If I push the phone slightly out of the case when on a call, the screen works just fine.
I decided to post this in case some one else runs into the same problem.

As soon as you said that the screen didn't come on, my first question was going to be are you using the original iPhone case? The proximity sensors on the 3G are positioned a little differently than the original phone.

Iphone 4 - big problem during calls - caller cannot hear me

Dear All,
I have a very big problem with my brand new Iphone 4. I bought it in UK and I'm using it in Poland with Orange sim card. Randomly, during calls (signal strength is not an issue in this case) my caller cannot hear me at all. I still can hear any single word but they think that call is finished (dropped). I did the restore but problem remained. Is there anybody with the same problem?

Hi Saint,
It is possible that the creen is activating during the call and your ear is touching the mute button. There appears to be a problem with the iP4's proximity sensor not always actuating when the screen is close to the ear - this can result is so-called 'face dialling'. There is an enormous thread dealing with this exact problem elsewhere on these forums:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2475509&tstart=15
Fwiw, I also suffer this problem.
Having said all that, maybe you problem is something else. Hope it helps.

Richard.

Iphone 4 switchs off during call

i am having this problem since 2 month earlier when the batt level would drop to 50 the iphone used to get switched off during call.. i upgraded the phone to ios5.1 after that two monthsf it was fine but past three days it gets swicthed off during call as well as while surfing . even when the battery level is 100 % dont why this is happening???

First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data, but it can clear some glitches after installing new software or apps.
If this does not help, set it up as new device, if necessary without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt files which are causing your problem.

IPhone 4 mic problem during calls

After upgrade to iOS 4.3.5 I found that mic (near dock connector) doesn't work all time (sometimes mic works fine, but not all time) during calls. Could be this software issue or this is hardware issue? And another question - how fix this issue?

I found this post http://www.mostlyblog.com/ios-4-3-5-bugs-list and it seems that this is a bug of firmware 4.3.5...I hope Apple will fix this issue as soon as possible, because this problem makes me crazy

HT4993 iPhone makes random Keytone during call ~ Please help

I thought it was just my phone, but I decided to look up this random keytone during phone calls on the internet and found this is a common problem with iPhones. I have a iPhone 5s and this has been happening since I purchased it in Nov 13.
I cannot believe there is not a fix for this very annoying problem.
Please let me know if there is a solution I just have not come across yet.
Thank you.

The keytone noise is random during phone calls. My cell carrier is Sprint and my internet provider is AT&T. However, after reading about 100 post today on differt blogs it does not seem to be an issue with a carrier or a internet provider.
What I have been reading is that it happen after doing updates on the iPhones. Mine happen to start as soon as I opened and used my new iPhone 5s. It is so annoying and I have read enough about the issue today to know that there are 100s out there if not 1000s with the same issue. Different carriers, different internet providers, but all the same type of phones iPhones 4s and 5s after doing updates.
Since it is a known problem I was hoping someone at Apple would be able to tell me if it can't be fixed that at least they are working on a fix.

My brand new iphone 5 cuts out during calls all the time, doesn't send mt text messages and then when it does it sends them twice?! why?? is it just apple or my network provider? bearing in mind my iphone 4 did exactly the same, so its a new handset sim

Hi,
i have just updated my iphone 4 16gb to an iphone 5 16gb
The iphone 4 had horrific problems, for example: Cutting out on calls, it going silent, me not being able to hear the person i was speaking to and them being able to hear me, and then visa vera.. also the main button at the bottom started to break.. my text messages weren't sending and then when they did they would send several of the same one.. also with mixed messages in them.. some of the texts had been form ages ago and had been deleted anyway and bits of them would re appear in the middle of the text, but only show to the person recieveing the text.
I thought all of this might have been some water damage as i had nearly had it for 2 years... However on Tuesday.. ( 29th Jan) i recieved my new upgrade of the iphone 5.. i was so excited, but then today.. 2 days after recieving it, its starting to do EXACTLY the same things my old phone did... cutting me off, going quiet on the phone, not sending texts, then sending several ones... sending mixed texts. Safe to say i am fuming!!! i am with vodafone and rang them today asking why?! they said it couldnt be my handset as its a new one, couldnt be the sim because thats new too so it must be the area signal.. so she checked for me.. came back to me and said that the signal in my area is perfectly fine....?!?!?! that makes it even worse!!! so i have asked to return it....!! i was going to go with a different provider thinking that it was vodafone??but after looking on here it seems like its apple? i am very disappointed as i love everything else about the phone, but its impossible to have a phone like this! especially when i use it for work too!

My wife is having the same problems as a reciever. She works in a school as a teaching assistant and her teacher sends messages that are mixed with previous texts from ages ago.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem or is it only her and this poster?

Iphone 3gs keeps freezing during calls

I have just received a replacement iphone 3GS running version 4.3.2 software. This was a replacement from Apple just over a week ago. This new phone keeps freezing and returning to the apple start screen approx. 5mins into phone calls.
Can anyone help please

Hey,
Hold the lock button/ Home button until the apple logo appears this is a hard reset, no data will be lost.
If that fails,
Update the iPhone in iTunes to iOS 4.3.3

Iphone 4 background stays lit during calls

My iPhone 4 stays lit during calls and causes battery to run low and inadvertently mute me. I've had my screen replaced by citymac and after doing some research I'm guessing it's the proximity sensor. Is there a setting on my phone to turn off the background in a call or is it a valid assumption to make that the proximity sensor is screwed up. If so, how much will it cost to fix?
Thanks in advance,
Zach

Hi,
Is Your iPhone Under Warranty?
The Proximity Sensor , The Black Spot ( Above The EarPiece ) Has Been Damaged Or Is Faulty.
If Your iPhone Is Under Warranty, You Can Give It To Apple Or You Can Get It Changed By A Third-Party Dealer.
I Cannot Comment On The Pricing As The Cost And Quality Of Sensors Is Different Everywhere.
Thanks.
Hope This Helps.

Bad iPhone 6 sound quiality on calls

Hello. My iphone 6 sound quality during calls is bad. Sounds like the speaker is broken or something. I hear people like they were talking to me trouth a walkie talkie. I disable ambiend noise and nothing. I did get a little better quality enabling Hearing Aid Mode and the sound whent ok a little but still bad compared to iphone 5. Now i got a new iphone 6 for my wife and the same thing is happening. What is this a software or hardware problem? Sorry for my bad english.

Your house is haunted! lol I've never heard of any issue like this. The best thing to do is to set up an appointment by going to www.apple.com/retail.

IPhone 5s - Microphone During Calls

I received my new iPhone 5s today and have encountered an issue. When in the phone app, no one is able to hear me during calls. If I switch to speaker mode however, my voice will be picked up. I've also tested with Siri, and my voice is being picked up there without issue. There was also no issue with my voice being detected in Facetime. As far as I can tell this issue only exists during phone calls without the speaker on.
- I've upgraded to the latest version of iOS hoping that might resolve it, but no luck.
- Also, I've tried turning off the noise cancelation feature, but again with no luck.
Has anyone encountered this issue before? What steps would you recommend for resolving this?
Thanks!
