Iphone 5s voice garbled, breaking up
People I call on my iPhone 5s say my voice sounds garbled and is breaking up. Is it a hardware issue?
I am getting the same complaints from people I talk to on the phone. I started keeping track of when it was happening. The only common factor that I can find is that all complaints are happening when I am talking to someone while I am in a loud environment.
I tuned off the "Phone Noise Cancelation" feature about a week ago and I have not had any complaints since. You can find this feature in the settings icon then go to General then look for Accessibility. The Phone Noise Cancelation option is about half way down the page under accessibility.
I hope this helps!

IPhone Outgoing Voice Garbled on 3G and EDGE
About 3 days ago, I started to experience an issue with my 3G iPhone running 2.2 software. On incoming and outgoing calls I can hear the person on the other end but my voice is garbled and/or filled with a lot of static. This occurs on both the AT&T EDGE and 3G networks with and without the factory-provided headset. However, if I switch the speakerphone function on, both parties can hear each other normally. What I thought was particularly interesting is that when I use Truphone to make a VoIP call, everything functions normally as well. While I first thought that this could be some sort of hardware issue, the last test made it seem more along the lines of a software problem. I have powered on/off the phone, rebooted the phone, restored it to backup and restored to a new phone all with the same result. Has anyone else experienced this issue and been able to resolve it? I have an appointment at the Genius Bar on Friday but am hoping to be able to resolve this on my own.
Thanks.I was just posting this same problem on Mac Rumors. I'll paste the text here:
+Yesterday morning, I receive a call on my iPhone. I answer and they can't hear me. I hang up thinking it's a bad connection and dial them back. Same thing happens. I can hear them just fine, but they can't hear me.+
+1. I do the hard reset.+
+2. I do a full restore. Same problem. The only thing the other person can hear is a little bit of digital noise, like a swirly sound.+
+3. I call AppleCare and we go through the list of potential fixes. Nothing works. They send me to the Apple Store.+
+At the Apple Store, the Genius Bar guy knows the problem before I even finish describing it. He says, "I've seen this problem nine times today, so I am thinking it's an AT&T issue. But just to narrow down the problem, let's replace your hardware."+
+He replaces the phone with a new one and it works fine. So I go home and it works the rest of the day.+
+This morning, I get to the office and the same problem is happening again.+
+I know there are others on this forum who have experienced the same problem. But if it is happening to everyone at the same time, would it be an AT&T problem or an Apple problem?+
+If it's an Apple problem, replacing the phone should have worked. But if it's an AT&T problem, it should happen across the board, and not to just nine people that day. That Genius Bar guy would have been bombarded with angry iPhone owners.+
+Does anyone have any helpful insight on this problem (saying "AT&T *****" isn't helpful insight)+
+UPDATE: (January 7, 2009, 9:30am) I am on hold with Apple Tech support and they are trying to find a solution. As an experiment, we tried turning 3G off and it worked. Obviously, not a long-term solution, but effective for getting a call to go through.+
+Any other input? I will update this thread if I receive a helpful fix from Apple or AT&T. These threads aren't any help unless there is a solution posted.+ -
Voice calls breaking up on EDGE with iphone and AT&T
When I am on a voice call using the iPhone on EDGE the callers voice often breaks up. This also happens when I dial voicemail and listen to messages.
This is my first time using AT&T. Is this normal for AT&T's EDGE network or is this possibly a problem with my iPhone. This happens even if I have full bars on EDGE. I've tried resetting the phone as new and getting a new sim card and updating the firmware but voices still break up. Has anyone else experienced this?I got a replacement iphone and the problem with voice calls breaking up persists. I have no idea what the problem is since there are so many variables and I don't have all the information. I just know that I never had this sort of problem in the 9 years I was on Verizon with any phone. I really enjoy this device for everything besides the phone functionality. It would be cool if I could just pay for data on this phone without the voice so I could get a Verizon phone for voice and keep the iphone for data but I know that would never happen. Well, I still have a couple weeks to figure out what I'm going to do.

When I upgraded from my iPhone 4 to iPhone 5, a bunch of voice memos were orphaned.
What this means is that when I connect my iPhone to iTunes, I see the voice memos.
They are listed in iTunes under my iPhone directories "Voice Memo" and in "Music".
But I cannot delete these.
When I go to my iPhone, the Voice memo app has changed (ok) and you can see there
are no voice memos. It appears that they are orphaned from the voice memo app.
So the voice memos are in my phone somewhere.
How can I delete them or export them or something with them?
I can't play them except on iTunes. They don't show up in Music in my iPhone.
Thanks for your Help
Steph BeachI have the same problem and I still can't delete that stupid song. I downloaded it from Starbucks almost over a year ago!!!

So i am an iphone 4 user.
Just today, i have use my voice recorder to record a VERY IMPORTANT interview, the whole interview takes about 39:46s, and yes, i can remember the number so clearly is because i do take a look before i press the stop button. After that, when i try to listen the voice memo, the time had changed to 0s, it was so scary!! how can it change to 0s?
THE VOICE MEMO IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME!! PLS HELP ME!!Please list the iOS version your iPhone 4 is running, since that may have a bearing
on the issue, and perhaps any helpful advice someone may offer in passing.

Voice Memos Issues After IOS 8 Upgrade - ASC discussion from last year
Had you looked to see if any Voice Memos re-appeared by accident -- in iTunes?
Did you see the Support section where manuals, and some helpful ideas for iPhone appear?
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/
Frankly, after looking into iPhone support, I am amazed at how lame and wasteful of my
time to try & find information, to help you, has been. The entire site seems dumbed/down.
So one of the other things is to look in search engine results, per example:
iphone 4 voice memo restore:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=iPhone+4+voice+memo+restore
restore voice memo iphone 4:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=restore+voice+memo+iphone+4
Sorry to not be of much help, as I was looking to see if you'd mentioned the OS X 10.10
issues in another discussion, and saw this instead. You may have to re-state the issue
in regard to that other topic. And I hope these two topics are not related, for your sake.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Trying to use an iPhone 4 which can barely run every screen is glitchy. Tried to record a very important voice memo for my business, recorded memo, listened to it a few times, etc. Suddenly the voice memo disappeared. How do I recover voice memo please?

Iphone 4 voice memo quits on opening
Verizon iphone 4 6.1.3 Apple Voice Memo has started quitting less than 2 seconds after opening reverting to home screen. Has never happened before and will not stay open now. Re-synced with itunes, turned off and on a number of times now and no relief with issue. I use Voice Memo almost daily to record song ideas .... What is going on? I searched for an answer on Google, Apple and Verizon and no fix is in sight. Help. Thank you.

After iOS 7 update, my iPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds that it shows has recorded. This happens randomly and often, sometimes it will have the 5+ second delay but starts recording at zero seconds. Besides the delay it has been working fine as far as saving and playback is concerned. I have plenty of storage on the phone itself and it NEVER had this problem before I updated to iOS 7. I've reset the phone a couple times by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time. The reason I have an issue with this is that I'm always recording song ideas, melodies, and scratch takes; what I'm saying is when I come up with an idea I need to be able to know that when I hit record it will start right then so I don't forget anything that has just popped in my mind.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?

IPhone 2G voice mic not working
Has anyone come across iPhone 2G voice mic not working (not being heard by the other person) but works fine on speaker phone and bluetooth headset. It has been working fine so far and suddenly developed this problem! Any help is highly appreciated….
I had that problem with my iPhone 3G after about 5 days.
I just had Apple take a look at it.
They cleaned it out, called it and stuff.
Didn't work.
Since I didn't drop it in water and it was not my fault in any way, they gave me a brand new one. -
IPhone-4 Voice Control not working properly
I'm facing trouble with the iphone-4 voice control. Its not correctly recognizing my voice commands. When I ask it to call a specific phone number it never dials the correct number, I have notice that it happens for some specific numbers when asked to dial. Also , songs are also sometime not correctly recognized and a wrong songs/album starts playing. But, when I tried same phone numbers or songs playing command on a Google Powered android phone..it recognizes all voice commands correctly and works perfectly fine. I think apple needs to fix this issue..right now the voice control ***** big time
I'm getting this too. It's very slow and apparently thinks "Call Sue Newport" sounds like "Call Halfords" or "Call Halyards" and, most surprisingly "Call First Great Western".
I was wearing my Jawbone Bluetooth headset so it's nothing to do with background noise.
I tried the new "What time is it?" command which works but takes about 10-15 seconds to activate. -
After backing up my phone to the new iphone 4S, voice control comes on every time I try to use siri?
After backing up my phone to the new iphone 4S, voice control comes on every time I try to use siri? I have to newest itunes so what should I do? I completley can not use Siri
Some advice from various locations on the web (use google). Each works for some users, not all. Give these a try.
Try to deauthorize the computer then authorize it.
select song or app. that's not authorized, itunes will ask for your password, enter password, click ok, and ok again. Done.
I had the same problem when I switched from my laptop to a macbook. What I figured out was that I had purchased applications under two different email addresses. You can click on one of the applications that is not syncing and go to "File" then "Get Info" to find out what email address you used to purchase those applications. Hopefully this helps.
Sometimes a reboot of either the computer or the iPhone or both fixes this, if you’ve authorized already. -

Well, what happens when you try to use it. That would help in the troubleshooting. Have you contacted your cellular carrier? Voicemail is a carrier function.

My iphone 4s voice dictiation for text messages is not consistently working. I've had the phone since Thanksgiving and it always worked perfectly, but the last few weeks it's been hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyone else having this problem? I tried the hard reset but that hasn't fixed it.
I have the same problem since updating to IOS 8.3. Any app to which I want to send a new link via IMessage does not allow me to select a contact to send the IMessage to. Using a pre-existing thread does not have same problem.
