IPhone 6 Plus - Issue whilst dialing out

I had my screen changed at an Apple store about 2months ago and ever since i have been experiencing problems making phone calls.
Firstly i'd like to point out that the issue isn't service related (i'm with EE) as i'm on a business contract and nobody else who has a mobile phone through my business is suffering with the same issue i am.
It also isn't software related as we all have the same phones and up-to-date software.
Which leads me to believe it's hardware related.
Basically when i make a phone call (and this happens every other call pretty much), the person on the other end of the line cannot hear me for the first 5-10 seconds and then it starts working. Tried reading about this everywhere and nobody else seems to have the same problem. I can only assume maybe one of the Apple Technicians may have damaged the microphone in some way whilst replacing the screen.
One odd fact that's worth pointing out is that the issue never happens when receiving calls.
My question is: can the microphone be replaced under warranty by Apple? I understand the screen was cracked because i dropped the phone but the microphone was working perfectly fine when the screen was damaged and i've only been experiencing problems since it was replaced.
My second question is: has anyone else got or experienced this problem which has since been resolved?
Any feedback or advice is much appreciated.

I am having the same issue!  I received my new iPhone 6 plus from atnt yesterday at 10am ... activated it and asked phone to restore from my sprint iPhone5s backup at 10:30 am.  It is now 2:17pm the next day and most of the apps that are incomplete are still incomplete right now.  What can I do to fix this or do I have to just wait?

  • Restoring from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6 Plus issue

    Yesterday, I received my iPhone 6 Plus in the mail via AT&T.  Before I started with the new phone, I checked my current phone, iPhone 5, and it showed a iCloud backup from earlier that day.
    I chose to use iTunes to backup my iPhone 5 and selected the 'Use Encrypted Backup' option because I wanted it to remember passwords and other things that an iCloud backup would not to make the transition easier.
    After I started the backup, it took about 5 minutes to complete and then about 2 or so hours to copy all of the apps off my iPhone to my computer via USB cable.  I hadn't used iTunes to backup my iphone since my iPhone 3G with older iOS many years ago. Once the iCloud backup option was there, I used that.
    So, once it copied all my apps and I was satisfied that the backup was complete, I turned on the iPhone 6 Plus.  Once it got to the spot where it asks if I want to set it up as a new phone or restore from an existing phone, I chose that and told it to restore from an iTunes backup. It prompted me to connect the cable and away it went. It did say that there was an update to 8.0.2, but I chose not to update at the time figuring it may cause issues, so I simply skipped that step planning on updating the iOS after I had my phone restored and ready to go.   It started the restore and the phone restarted twice and then came up to the "Welcome" screen to set it up. iTunes said it was going through a sync, which I expected, to copy over all my photos, ringtones, and apps that were backed up. However, the process seemed to stall on Step 6 of 6 "Waiting for changes to be applied."   I let it sit about 2.5 hours or so and there was no change in the message nor any indication that it was doing anything.  In the iPhone details in iTunes, I could see that it had all my screens set correctly and showed all the apps, but they were grayed out like they weren't there. Indeed, when looking at the phone, it had only the stock apps showing.
    I figured something happened with the restore, so I wiped the phone and started over.  This time, I let it update to iOS 8.0.2 since my previous iPhone 5 backup was from iOS 8.0.2.  Though the same thing happened again where it stalled at Step 6 of 6 "Waiting for changes to be applied."  I again let it sit about 1.5 hours with no change at all.
    So, for a third time, I wiped the phone and started over. I let it update to 8.0.2 and it did its thing with syncing.. It again seemed to stall at step 6 of 6 "Waiting for changes to be applied."  After 30 minutes with no indication of it doing anything, I clicked on the stop sync option. I saw all my phone screens with my app layout correct in iTunes. So, I hit the Sync button. this time, after getting to Step 6 of 6, it showed it was copying over photos from my computer, my ringtones, and then each app to my phone.  When the sync was completed, I disconnected the phone and everything looked right. I could connect to my iCloud account.. All my email accounts were set up and I didn't have to enter the password. My iMessages were there.  Everything looked good.
    The only concern I have is that I never actually got a "Restore Complete" message.  I'm guessing its because I technically stopped the initial sync after the restore.   Or does it not show that and the restore was actually completed when it rebooted my phone twice and brought up the "Welcome" screen where you set a few of the options like wi-fi, location services, etc.   When I go into my iCloud settings in to the backups, there is no message there saying that a restore is in progress.  It did show that before when I looked when the previous attempts stalled at Step 6 of 6. 
    Is this something I should be concerned about or since everything looks to be working properly its good to go?

    I am having the same issue!  I received my new iPhone 6 plus from atnt yesterday at 10am ... activated it and asked phone to restore from my sprint iPhone5s backup at 10:30 am.  It is now 2:17pm the next day and most of the apps that are incomplete are still incomplete right now.  What can I do to fix this or do I have to just wait?

  • IOS 8.0.2 on iPhone 6 plus issue

    After updating with 8.0.2 last night, everything is fine with my iPhone 6 plus. Woke up this morning and I noticed that wifi is very slow. My other idevices are working fine. I reset my router and still the same... reset network connection and still the same... after booting up, it won't even recognize any wifi. Finally, I did a hard reset and it fixed my issue. I hope I don't have to do this every morning. Apple, please fix this darn wifi issue!!! You messed up several times already in a week! If you want to keep your customer happy, please make this right!  I am losing my trust in you Apple!!!

    My 6 plus was replaced and it's not seeing my wifi at home. I had to add it manually every day since Saturday, and today is only Tuesday, when the phone is locked it looses the wifi, when unlock the phone wifi works.

  • IPhone 6 plus shows cellular usage out of box

    I got my iPhone 6 Plus delivered and it shows 12 hours 20 Minutes of cellular usage out of the box. I checked with an Apple representative and they say it might be tested and hence the hours. Any ideas? Should I return and get another one?

    If you put the camera right next to your ear when you have the camera working can you hear the OIS motors buzzing away as if they are constantly moving? How about the front camera? Is that working correctly?m There seems to be a few threads on here saying that the OIS for the 6 plus is a bit iffy, my best advice is to book in to your nearest Apple Store to have it looked at, If they can spot the problem they will either replace the whole handset or the camera (which takes an hour)

  • Bluetooth iPhone 6 Plus issues with MacBook Pro

    Most recently, started having issues with my iPhone 6 plus maintaining connection to my MacBook Pro 15in.   Noticed this strictly through using iMessage, as I use it to text a lot.
    Steps taken so far:
    Verified other bluetooth devices (Keyboards, Mice) working fine. 
    Rebooted both iPhone and MBP.
    "Reset" the bluetooth connection by removing it both on the MBP and iPhone, then re-paried the devices.
    The pairing function will work then suddenly it will display "not connected".   I additionally have verified the iPhone can connect to other bluetooth devices fine.  (Car, Keyboard).  So I definitely can say it is isolated to iPhone--MacBookPro.
    The fact there was no major updates on any side has me concerned, just suddenly "stopped working". 
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    You know what, you are right.   Not sure why I thought that.  Now the question is why my SMS is not working with iMessage.   Back to the drawing board!

  • IPhone 6 Plus - Display Glass Sticks Out

    When i finally got my iPhone 6 Plus last week I noticed a rattling sound while I gently knocked on the display glass. It had nothing to do with the buttons, camera or anything like that. It came from the upper left corner and stretched about 2 inches below. Holding the phone from the side I could see that the glass sticks out only a little bit (and we are talking about a fresh out of the box device). Apparently  enough to make the rattling sound when gently knocking on the glass. If I pressed my thumb somewhere near the corner the rattling noise was gone.
    I called it in with Apple and I got my replacement unit today showing the exact same behavior which is rather disappointing when talking about a 1000$ device. Can you reproduce the behavior with your iPhone 6 Plus?

    My iPhone 5 did the same thing. Real pain if you restart. Does not change anything if you reset.
    Go to settings, general and accessibility to turn of oversize text.

  • IPhone 4 camera issue: check it out!

    I'm asking you, iPhone 4 users, if you can make a test of your camera.
    I am substantially pleased by the iPhone 4 camera but after some days of use, viewing the images at 100% crop (1:1), I discovered a defect on all the shots.
    At the far left side, next to border and top to bottom, the image is blurry, independently of the point of focus of the lens.
    I post five shots of mine (original, not edited) so you can check out and compare:

    Please let me know if this is happening to you too and is to be considered "normal" or if my iPhone camera lens got some problems and need to be swapped.
    Thank you

    I don't see anything, but I might be blind. If there's a bit of blurring on the edge, it's easy to crop.
    The reason it might be blurry is because of how the iPhone takes a photo. You might think it's an instant capture of the whole scene, but it actually quickly captures the image from left to right. You might be seeing a small amount of jiggling as the image is captured. A real camera, using a CMOS image detector is much faster. A good digital camera can go up to ISO 6400 with 1/1000 speed (OK, only in very bright light).
    This is why mobile phones (whether the iPhone or whatever) are just junk for taking real photos. You're trying to find perfection with a $20 part on the iPhone. If you want perfect photos, you need a $5000 Nikon D5 with $2000 lenses. But of course, a great camera is not the panacea for all photo issues or user incompetence.
    I think your photos are nice, considering you're using a very limited iPhone camera. Crop it, and it'll look really good. Otherwise, your expectations are way too high for the iPhone camera.

  • I am trying to restore my back up on my 'new' iPhone 6 PLUS but I am unable to do this. My 'old' phone is an iPhone 5S - iOS 8.3

    When I go to select the backup that I want to restore on my new iPhone 6 PLUS it is greyed out and therefore
    will not allow me to select it. I’m not too sure why that is happening.

    The only reference I can find to 8.3.1 is for a jailbreak.  Sorry we that iOS version has not been released by Apple yet.
    Apple security updates
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222
    It could be a developers release but either way that is not a supported iOS
    Good Luck

  • IPhone 6 Plus Screen Issue?? Going insane here! 6th phone opened same problem

    Hi all,
    I bought a iPhone 6 plus on launch day. I noticed something immediately and that was that the screen, even on full brightness, wasn't displaying whites as nicely as the phones on display in the apple store. The apple store iPhone 6 pluses on display display bright, vivid whites (let's say when your on google.com) but my phone looked slightly more dimmed and shaded out. The difference is slight, but when you compare, you notice it immediately and have had apple employees notice this before I even compared them the phones side by side.
    I ended up having the apple store open a few phones for me to replace and they were WORSE (they opened 5 phones). I ended up returning the phone and getting a new one only to have the same issue. I just don't understand why the iPhone 6 pluses on display have screens that show whites and nice and bright, where as my screens are dimmer and more 'shaded out'.
    I promise you, if you have an iPhone 6 plus go to the apple store and do the comparison. Unless your lucky, it'll be there. This isn't a yellow screen, or uniform brightness issue, the screen just looks shaded even on full brightness making whites look more 'grey' than the way they are displayed on the 6 pluses in the store. All the setting are perfect this isn't the issue. The issue is the screen itself. I just wanted to know if I was the only one.

    I feel your pain! I have the same problem with my new iPhone 6. My iPhone 5s has cooler/brighter whites, but my iPhone 6 with a supposedly better screen shows them warmer/duller. I stopped at two T-Mobile stores this morning to compare my phone with their display models, and in both cases my phone look dull and drab. Because of the warmer whites, text has less contrast and therefor looks blurrier, too. I was considering going to an Apple Store to see if they could exchange the phone, but as you've demonstrated there's no guaranty that you'll get a better phone. After spending $850 on what I thought was a phone with a bigger, better display, I now wish I'd just stayed happy with my 5s or even considered switching back to an Android phone.

  • Calendar issue with the new iphone 6 plus

    I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing a problem with the default iphone calendar for iphone 6 plus?  I have consulted with apple's tech specialist both in store and online and they can't seem to figure out what's wrong.   They have apparently forwarded the issue to the engineers.  As everyone may know, dots appear under the date if you have added an event to the specific calendar date then the elaboration of the specific event appears on the bottom linear view.  What i have been experiencing on my iphone 6 plus is that the dots disappear as i scroll further and further down to future months and when i do scroll back up the dots also randomly disappears with past months/events.  The elaborated event in the linear view is still there, however, when u highlight the date.  Why is that? We've already rebooted my phone, checked all possible settings issue, unsync then resynced it to icloud, resigned to icloud, reset all settings and even changed to a new phone (thinking it was a hardware defect) but the dots were still disappearing even with the new device.  I even turned off icloud on all my devices and just used the usb cord to sync it from imac to iphone! This nightmare is still happening even without icloud! However, it doesn't do that to my iphone 5! All dots with corresponding events appear on all weeks/months on my iphone 5 calendar.
    Hopefully, someone is experiencing the same issue with their default calendar on the new iphone 6 plus.    I tried my best to describe the issue, so i hope this made sense.  

    M glad I'm not the only one experiencing this!  Because when i spoke to apple techs it sounded like mine was an isolated case as they have not heard any complaints about this! I'll post something on this thread once apple techs have figured it out and get back to me! They initially put my icloud account on troubleshooting mode so they can look into it, however, it wasn't an icloud issue....so, they have yet to firgure it out!  I have already sent them screenshots of what my calendar was doing to my phone.

  • Sync issues with iPhone 6 Plus and iTunes

    I'm having issues with syncing my iPhone and iTunes.
    I am running: Mavericks 10.9.3 | iTunes 11.4 | iOS 8.0.2
    Every time I try to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with iTunes, the sync process gets stuck on step 5 of 5 (waiting for changes to be applied).  The longest this has occurred for is 2hrs.  After this time I have stopped the sync and ejected my iPhone.
    I had another issue with my phone when playing music.  When going to play music, I was given the error message saying that the song could not be found.  I connected my iPhone to iTunes and went to the tab in summery page, 'on this iPhone'.  I found the song and could see that next to the song was a small what looked like dotted grey circle.  After Googling this, I found a video saying that if i was to remove all my music and then add it again, this should fix the problem with this song.  I did this and this was when the issue occurred again.
    I unticked the option to remove all music but the sync did not finish. So I cancelled the sync, ejected my iPhone and tried again.  This time, the summery page of my iPhone said there was no music on my iPhone and the 'on this iPhone'  tab, this all so said there was no music however, my music was still on my iPhone including the song that would not play.  All played ok.
    I have read lots in the Apple forums about lost of difference reason this may be happening.  Things like bugs in iOS 8, app updates being transferred during the sync process, the latest iTunes version has bugs and even a dodgy USB cable could cause it.  My iPod running iOS 5 syncs all ok but I get this problem as well on my iPad Air.
    I all so had this issue with my old iPhone 4S.  The problem occurred when running iOS 7 and 8 on the 4S.  When I had it on the 4S, I did a restore of the 4S 4 times and thought I had found the issue down too a dodgy app.  However, now that it has happened on my new iPhone and still not using that app, could this be an issue with my Mac/iTunes?
    I am in contact with Apple Care, but this is such a long process. 
    So if anybody could please offer any advice on this or steps to try to maybe solve the issue, it would be really helpful.   Or if anybody is experiencing the same problem, it would be good to know its not just my devices and Mac producing this sync problem.
    I will update my post with any information provided by Apple Care as and when I get it.
    Thanks for reading and thanks for your time.
    Mark. 

    Hi,
    Just wanted to updated my original post and give some more information on this issue that I'm having with my iOS devices running iOS 8.0.2 and iTunes 11.4.
    Firstly I just want to updated my details about what version of Mavericks I'm running.  I'm running 10.9.5 - I put the wrong version down in my original post.
    So over the last week, I have had a few phone calls with Apple Care an am dealing with a senior technical advisor about this issue.
    I have been given some instructions that I am currently working through to see if it solves the sync issue with iTunes and my iOS devices. 
    The Apple Care advisor has pointed out that a iTunes version issue with music that I have ripped to iTunes and the current iTunes version could be what is causing the problem.  For example, every song that I have purchased from iTunes since having an account, I was told are all exactly the same the same when it comes down the to data/information about that track/album that iTunes stores with the music but when it comes to music that I have added to iTunes myself from a CD,  this was added and encoded with the version of iTunes that was running at the time of adding the music.  So going through all the music that I added to iTunes over the last 10 years, you can imaging that there was lots of mixed version of iTunes linked to lots of different music.
    At the moment, I'm having to go through all my music and find any that I have added and create a new ACC version of that music and delete the old version.  However, due to the amount of music that I have, this is going to take a long time.  When I was on the phone to the Apple Care advisor, we did several albums as a test and they all synced over to my iPhone.  This may just have been luck though at that time.
    Now, I'm not saying that this will solve the problem that I have with the sync issue but I am going to try it and see how I get on.  The only down side to this fix as far as I can see at the moment, is  that when it's all done, I think I will have to fully restore all my iOS devices to get music on to them.
    I will of course updated this topic when I have got through all my music and tried to sync my iOS devices.
    Thank you all for your comments.

  • Has anyone had issues with the accelerometer in the iPhone 6 plus?

    II've had issues with the accelerometer in the iPhone 6 plus. I went from landscape mode and then went into podcast app. I went to the search tab and this is the keyboard that came up:
    This isn't the only issue with the accelerometer though. I've also come out of clash of clans which is a landscape only mode game. I go to my home screen and my wallpaper is in landscape still but my apps are in portrait? The seems to be some RAM issues with the iPhone 6 plus but I'm not sure if that has any issue with the transition from landscape to portrait.

        Belynda227,
    That's definitely odd, we certainly need to get to the bottom of this so you can use it safely while driving. Have you been able to use it in the past without completing the factory reset? The factory reset deleted everything from your phone, is that the type of reset you're doing? If so, you need to pair your phone every time, which explains the problem. Is your car compatible with the phone? Some cars are not compatible, in this case some features work but not all. Use http://vz.to/11fpca7 to review compatibility.

  • Some kind of buzz/noise coming out of the desktop speakers when I connect my iPhone 6 plus to my desktop speakers.  Help?

    I have the iPhone 6 plus with the current update 8.02.  As soon as I connect my phone to my desktop speaker jack, I can hear an intermittent, low-level buzz/noise coming out of the speakers.  I've never experienced this noise with my iPhone 4S or my laptop connected.
    Is this maybe a grounding issue with the phone? Could mine be defective? 
    I just tried a friend's 6 plus and his doesn't make the same noise. 
    Thanks for your feedback.

    I have the iphone 6 plus and when I play a ringtone or a video or music and stop it, the speaker of my phone make a little sound like shhhhhh haha, why? and still there for a few seconds and sometimes minutes
