IPhone 4S: In phone conversations, other person cannot hear me unless I'm on speaker

Anytime I call someone I have to switch to speaker so that the person can hear me.  The odd thing is that Siri works fine - when I put Siri up to my ear or when I enable it just by holding the home button.  Recording voicemail greeting works, too.  And, by the way, it worked the first day I had it.  The second day it stopped working.  I'm trying to think what I did between first and second day but other than connecting to computer, there was nothing of note.
Thanks,
Karim

After an hour on hold, I got through to a tech that told me it's a hardware problem and I'd have to take my iPhone to the Apple Store to be replaced or send it in and be without it for a week. The nearest Apple Store is 3 hours away, and I can't really be without a phone so I asked him if there was any sort of advance replacement.
Turns out it costs $29, which is probably how much gas I'd have spent to drive to have it tooked at. Long story short... I have a replacement coming in in the next couple days.

  • 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

  • My iphone 3 speaker will not play, it is not in airplane mode,. I have rebooted it. I cannot make a call or recieve one because I cannot hear anyone unless they are on speaker, it says my ipod is stuck in headphones mode for the volume,..it isnt the headp

    Please help me, and tell me if this is a hardware issue and I am required to take my phone in to the store to get a new one?

    Oh wow, I forgot how narrow minded people can be. No its not the jailbreak causing it. The problem existed well before the jailbreak, and there are many other people with unjailbroken phones with the exact same audio problem. But. i removed the jailbreak,  just for.you. guess what... It's.still doing it. Now would someone be willing to help me out?  And  don't bother to.suggest restoring it . Been there done that, didn't do anything except waste my time.

  • As of yesterday, when making or receiving calls, I can hear the person on other end, but they can't hear me unless I use the speaker???

    When making or receiving calls I can hear the person on the other end, but they cannot hear me unless I use the speaker option.

    Look to the right in the "More Like This" box.  Your issue has been addressed in countless posts.  Always an act of forum courtesy to search before posting, FYI.
    Best of luck.

  • Callers cannot hear me, unless I use speaker feature, what might problem be?

    Callers cannot hear me, unless I use the speaker feature. Mute is not turned on, so what might be the problem.
    I had been using the phone normally and on the next call, the caller could not hear me reply.
    Eventually I tried using the speaker function and then callers can hear me - but not using the normal functions.
    Any suggestions as to what button I might have pushed inadvertently. The mute feature is not turned on.

  • IPhone 6. While talking on the phone, email interferes w/audio for other party. Email message pops-up on the screen and the other party cannot hear me until I click "close" & remove the message. Ideas??

    Alex, thanks for the reply but it did not answer my question. I only want to turn off notifications & interruptions while I am on the phone. For this desired result, the only way the Do Not Disturb feature would help is if I manually turned it on before each phone conversation. Since my phone rings at random times, this is not possible. Basically, I just want to "opt out" of call-waiting. When I had a landline I never had call waiting. I don't want to be interrupted. But beyond that, even if I am being interrupted why are these notifications preventing the other party from hearing my voice?

  • 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.

    Make a appointment with the Genius Bar at apple. If it is still under the 1 yr warranty it will be replaced free of charge. Or if you have AppleCare you should be covered.

    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
    Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
    If recovery does not work there's:

  • The caller / Called Person cannot hear me properly

    Hello All....
    I just got an unlocked BB 8110 from the US (T-Mobile) as a gift and have BB services from my service provider Vodafone (India). However I seem to have run into a problem which I believe is an issue with most 8110.
    The caller cannot hear me properly and Vice-Versa. I have to speak out load for the other person to hear me and that too feebly. Is there a fix around that can be done on the phone itself. I make sure that my fingers are not blocking the microphone. Help me please as this is becoming very frustrating for me and the caller.
    Regards
    Rajat

    Try this - when device is ON, remove the battery, wait a minute and turn the battery back to the device.
    If this does not help - try the step #2
    Make selective backup as it is explained here:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=8100&view=by_date_ascending&message.i...
    After that do the wipe of the device memory. On the device go to Options - Security Options - General Settings
    Open menu and select "Wipe handheld"
    Check the device and restore data from backup.
    If it also does not help - then most probably there is a defect in your device.
    Take it to a repair shop for diagnostics.
