Ipnone 4 only works with speaker phone

I receive calls but cannot hear the caller unless I use the speaker phone
I have rebooted and just reinstalled the latest software and tried plugging and unplugging the headphone jack.
Has anyone experienced this problem and found a fix?
Phone is still under warranty but such a pain as it has to be sent away if its a hardware problem

My fiance is having the same problem. We both got new iPhone 4's from Verizon less than 3 weeks ago. Now her speaker stopped working! She can only talk on speakerphone. Verizon is not allowed to try to fix or replace it and both Apple Stores are over 45 min away!!!!! Makes me happy my laptop is a PC. Appointment at Genius tomorrow. This is a huge inconvenience.

Iphone 4 the mike does not work when making a call. it does work with speaker phone and face time

Just activated new Iphone 4 and the mike does not work when making a call. it does work with speaker phone and face time. Any known fixes?

My wife's iphone 4 also has your same no ring problem as does my iphone 5 just less often. I called her iphone 4 at home from where I work 20 miles away on my iphone 5. With her phone in 3G mode ONE call went through and 9 went to voice mail in 10 tries. This is a 10% sucess rate!! I also could listen in real time from the wired work phone and the wired home phone. She turned off 3G mode and it went to "O" mode at the top left of the screen after the ATT. In this mode it rang on the first ring tone 5 times out of 5 tries which is 100% of the time. I have learned that the calling party will hear up to 4 ring tones when placing a call on the ATT network. If the ring tone changes volume slightly before the 4th ring then and only then will the cell phone start to ring. If the ring tone does not change after the 4th ring you get voice mail. If the calling party does not leave a voice message there is never a missed call displayed on the iphone. If the calling party does leave a voice message a few minutes later the iphone dings for arriving voice mail but still no missed call indication.
This appears to be related to the time of day and the ATT tower that the receiving caller is using. Tried other towers and it works in 3G mode 10 times out of 10 tries. Apple replaced the first iphone 4 with a new phone, no improvement. ATT replaced the SIM card and no improvement. ATT so far is clue less. This has been going on every since we got the new iphones which is 4 months. The ATT web site also describes this same problem from several years ago. Has anyone got better information?
Thanks

I have problems with outgoing call no audio, only works with speaker. I bought my iphone on december 2011.

I have problems with outgoing call no audio, only works with speaker. I bought my iphone on december 2011.

Had the same problem, no audio on incoming or outgoing calls and only could hear the conversation of the call if I put on speaker. It seemed to start after I did a recent IOS update this past month. I tried restart, reset and restore of my iPhone but nothing changed. It appears not to be a software issue but a hardware problem. I got my phone this past summer so it was still under warranty and got it replaced.

My mic for my iPhone 4S only works on speaker phone and doesn't work for Siri. What can I do?

My mic on my 4s only works on speaker phone in calls. It also doesn't work for Siri or voice memos. Is there any way to fix this without having to buy new parts or exchange it?

Hello there, mbrda92.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great, in-depth steps for troubleshooting your issue:

Particularly of note:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

Phone only works with speaker on

my iphone5 only works with the speaker on. otherwise we cannot hear each other

One thing i notice is that when i adjust the volume on the side of the phone the screen says that volume changes are being made for the ringer (headphones).
So my phone thinks there are headphones connected when there aren't.
How disappointing this update it starting out to be. People are calling and I can't talk to them without headphones or the speaker on.

Safari is not working and siri only works with the phone not internet related questions.

I have an Iphone 5 and for about 8 months it worked find, then somewhere along the line I think about the time I upgraded to the latest OS, Safari stopped working. That is when I hit a link from email or open safari I get the browser window but nothing works, like its been blocked. Siri of course only works with internal serches, through contacts and such. My other browsers (crome, oprea and mercury) work fine. I have been through all the internal settigns I can find, but nothing has worked. Have cleared history cookes with no suceess. Any ideas?

Hello Mike,
Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with Safari after upgrading to iOS 7.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the apps that are open, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

My phone only works with speaker or headset

When I answer my my i can not hear anyone. It only works when I use the spealer or headset. Whats the fix?

WIth phone on and unlocked when you adjust the volume does it say Headset? If so, it thinks the headset is still in. Just plug in and out the headset repeadly for a bit until it realizes it is out (adjust volume with it in and out till it finally shows it is out when it really is out).

Microphone not working with speaker phone

Hi Guys
My Normal Microphone is working fine on normal calls but when using speaker phone nobody can hear me. Also when using APPS like Fring or Viber
Microphone doesnt work have to use headset.
Very annoying Please help
Please Help!!!!!!

I recently bought an iphone 4s from bangkok. I am a resident of new delhi. I was sold the phone by telling that its a product of international one year warranty so need not to worry.
As i started using the phone, I have realised that the microphone of the phone doesnt work. I keep on speaking but noone can listen to me on the other side. I tried headphone and it was fine. I tried speaker phone with mic on top and it was fine.
I called apple to find out that this is a replaced handset which has been replaced by Apple.
After all the ifs and buts, It was agreed with them that it is still a product of Apple and is under one year warranty. They have agreed for replacement but only if I can take this phone to a apple store in Korea or Australia. Which is highly impossible for me.
I wonder what to do. Whether to speak with apple again to see if they can provide replacement in New Delhi itself, or ask a local technical expert to repair it for me.?
Kindly advice what should I do to get my mic working fine.

I have a Lucid by LG. The Phone only works on Speaker now. When someone call you can not here them until you turn on the speaker phone. How do I fix it.

This is a new phone we just got from insurance replacement. It did work but now only works on speaker phone.

Hi LuckyPhillips,
That's not good! We want all parts of your device to work properly. Has there been any liquid or physical damage to the new phone? Have you tried powering the device off/on? Are you using a headset with the device?
Thanks,

I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with

I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID. Please Help me I speak Spanish so if my English is not ok I´m sorry about it.
Do you think that apple has to reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s??

I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more. I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

My iMessage only works with one contact in my phone. I text several people that have the iphone 4s, theirs works with other people. But mine only works with one person. Why?
