Mic delay when answering phone (4S)

When I answer my new iPhone 4S, there appears to be a delay during which the mic output is muted. I need to wait approx 2 seconds before speaking when I answer the phone, otherwise the other party cannot hear me. I have already received a replacement unit from my local Apple Store and both phones exhibit the same behavior.
Guessing this is a problem easily solved with a software update. Apple, please help!!!

Anyone who agrees this is not a hardware problem but likely a software issue? Could it also have something to do with the proximity sensor activating the mic based on the phone's position near your head? Maybe the sensor determines whether the mic is active based on your proximity to the phone when not using speakerphone. For those of us who start saying "hello" as we're raising the phone to our heads, that could be the issue.............?
Either way, easily fixed with a software tweak.

  • How do you fix the 2 to 3 second voice delay when answering iphone 5 this is with multiple carriers and its unaceptable on a phone that cost almost 700 dollars it did not happen on my cheap prepay samsung

    how do you fix the 2 to 3 second delay on hearing somones voice when answering the iphone 5 this happens on lots of  iphone 5s with differant carriers so its not one carriers problem its probably apples this is unacceptable on such an expensive phone and very irratating. my last cheap samsung t mobile 50 dollar pre pay never did this,im new in my  contract an will take the phone back if i have to put up with this for 2 years.other than that huge problem i love the phone. i dont understand why this did not get covered like the maps problem,cause its a lot of phones and its probably an ios problem.

    Wow!
    I'm not going to be of much use regarding answers but I sure am going to watching this post like a hawk for any replies. My package is a slightly diluted version of this and I do find the BBtalk and data limits hard to make the most of as well.
    If nothing else this totally highlights how complicated BT have managed to make their packages.
    A cynic would assume that they are trying to catch us out at every step and for us to either be overspending or not really getting the moneys worth.

  • IMessage delay when unlock phone to see message?

    Why is there a delay when I receive an iMessage to my phone? I'll get the message on my lock screen but when I unlock and go in the message isn't there. I have to go in and out twice before it shows in iMessage.

    I'm having this same problem with my iPhone 5.  It didn't appear until I upgraded to 7.1.1.

  • Loud static when answering phone

    Hi I get a very loud static sound for 1 sec when answering my 8330 phone, people on the other complain of it as well. is there a fix for this? very new to blackberry phones
    Thanks
    Ray

    I have begun having the same problem. It is really loud and I have learned to answer with the phone far from my ear for the first second or so, but this still doesn't help the person being blasted on the other end. Does anyone know what causes this or if it is simply the beginning of the end of the device??

  • Setting speaker as default when answering phone

    Hello All:
    Does anyone know a way, when answering a call, to set the speaker (handsfree) as the default?  I mount my Q10 on my windshield when driving and when a call comes in and I accept it I would like it to default to speaker automatically.
    Kind regards,

  • 6120c delay when answering a call with bluetooth h...

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia 6120 classic and a Jabra BT2010 headset. When using the headset, every time I answer a call I have a 3 second delay until I can hear anything.
    During these 3 seconds I hear 3 beeps: one the moment I answer the phone, a second one a couple of seconds after that, and a third one just before I can start to speak.
    Does someone have the same problem? Is this a firmware problem and will be fixed with a new firmware? I have firmware 3.83.

    that is a bit strange, i have used Nokia BT headset BH-900, BH-201 and BH-600 on the 6120 and there is no delay...
    it could be related to your headset... if there is a way to factory re-set that jabra? i had a jabra before, and it can be done if i remeber correctly,when you keep pressing volume up + power on for 10sec and watch the LED change color...

  • Xperia Z1 speaker/mic issue when speaker phone switched on during call

    when i switch on the speaker during a call the voice  is garbled and the  call receiver also complains of voice being not clear. Is this issue something other z1 users .  pls advcie

    I have a problem with the microphone as well, if i'm on a call and i try to hold my phone between my shoulder and ear in order to multitask, the person on the other end hears only garbled words and makes it impossible to not hold phone normally, I believe it's due to the pressure on the mic. Spoke to Sony about this and tried a complete reset of phone with no success. Was going to send it in to Sony for repairs, but they offer no loaner devices so I sent it in to Rogers as it's only 2 weeks old and under full warranty. Waiting to see what comes of it. Will repost upon return of phone.

  • Motorola 850 Very slow to connect when answering phone

    I have just connected my BT Motorola HS850 to the Iphone and the pairing went well. When I tried to answer the phone using the BT device I did not receive any audio nor could I transmit for about 9 seconds after I answered the call. Any ideas?

    Hi, I'm having the same issue also with Motorola HS850. The headset worked fine with my Blackberry Pearl.
    Thanks for any advice.

  • There is a huge delay when i type a message or anything on my phone, after installing ios 7?

    How do I make my phone faster?? Since i installed ios 7 there is ahuge delay when i type anything into my phone. Someone suggested going to settings> icloud> documents and data and switching this from off to on. Mines is already turned on, so will i lose my stuff if i switch it off and on again? Someone help please

    Turning it off will only remove documents and data, not your contacts and stuff. The data it removes from the phone will also stay on your iCloud account and return when the switch is turned on.

  • Help. I can´t slide to answer when the phone rings, and i´m missing a lot of phone calls! It doesn´t happens all the time but quite enough to be annoying. I´v restarted and updated it. Suggestions? Thanks

    When you said you have no fax machines on your line, that does include computers directly connected to the phone line?
    The reason that I ask is a computer with a dial-up modem (a non broadband modem) that can connect to your phone line, can have software that makes the computer act as a fax machine.

  • Updating my iPhone 5 software has shortened the number of rings before the answer phone kicks in, how do I extend the time delay?

    Updating my iPhone 5 software has shortened the number of rings before the answer phone kicks in, how do I extend the time delay?

    If the codes Tanzim mentioned don't work, just call your carrier and ask them to extend your time until voicemail picks up, to 30 seconds. They do this routinely.

  • Audio delay when call is answered, CUCM 8.0

    I have a client who is reporting an audio delay when a call is made to an external number. Call setup is fine and ringing begins immediately after the last digit is dialed.  When the called party answers there's a 1 or 2 second delay before either party can hear each other.
    Outbound calls are routed to a SIP trunk.  I am suspecting that an MTP is required but checking that off causes all calls to fail. 
    I then discovered that the only MTP defined in CUCM is the default and this is in a different device pool than the SIP trunk with the delay issue.
    Before I got through a possilbe hardware purchase (router, dsps, etc.) for the site with the problem I was hoping someone could confirm that this may in fact be the issue.
    Thoughts?

    Under older versions of CUCM, you can set that same parameter as a global Service Parameter for the CallManager process.You can try that. Newer versions pushed the setting down to the individual trunk level. Be aware the global setting will affect all calls on all SIP trunks, so test carefully after the change.

  • My iphone 4s when some rings me it keeps going straight onto answer phone

    could you please tell me why my phone doesnt ring and keeps going onto answer phone straight away, it doesnt matter what area I am in at the time.

    If your carrier is Verizon and you are using the phone for data calls will go to voicemail, because the Verizon network is incapable of simultaneous voice and data.
    Also, if you are in a busy area the carrier's network may not have sufficient capacity to allocate a channel to your call when it comes in.
