Microphone not working on my iphone 4s  unless i'm on speaker or using headphones during calls both incoming and outgoing?

During calls incoming and outgoing I can hear the other person but they cannot hear me unless I am on speaker phone or am using headphones?

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, resest, restore from backup, restore as new.
If you still have problems after going through ALL the recommended troubleshooting steps, then you likely have a hardware issue.  You'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • My proximity sensor does not work on my iPhone 4

    My proximity sensor does not work on my iPhone 4

    Well, it can be fixed, however it is in a very difficult spot, and it may cost me more to replace than what I can get out of it. I don't care to pay for a replacement since my warranty is up, because I already have an iPhone 5. I want to sell the iPhone4, and not for $75 either because you can't make a phone call unless its on speaker. I didn't know what other people had to say, so I just wanted some feedback on my options. I'm sorry that I am not an expert on the iPhone hardware componets, because I actually work for a living. I don't have time to sit here and play on forums. Thanks for all you're help.

  • After my iPad 2 upgraded to IOS 5.0.1, built in Microphone not working

    Just what I said, my iPad 2 upgraded to IOS 5.0.1 from IOS 5 on last week, the built in microphone is not working anymore, I can't record the video with sound, and called my friends with Facetime, they can't heard my voice.  Then I already restored IOS 5.0.1 for a few time and built in microphone is still not working. Does anyone iPad 2 has the same issue after using IOS 5.0.1?  And anyone can help me to fix this?  Thx.

    I've read other posts about this, and while it seems an odd coincidence, you likely have a faulty microphone.  On the right hand side you'll see similar posts.  The majority of people who all of the sudden had mic's that wouldn't work after updating, wound up getting their iPads replaced at the Genius Bar at their local Apple Store.  You could try rebotting, by pressing and holding BOTH the home and power buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go fo both buttons and your iPad will restart.  If that doesn't work, I would not recommend restoring.  Instead, make an appointment at the Apple Store and if found defective it will be replaced.  Do remember to create a backup before going.  It will make setting up a new device exactly as you had it, much much simpler.

  • TS3276 incoming and outgoing mail fine for 3 months, outgoing suddenly stopped on this macbookpro, same settings as on my macbook which is still working on incoming and outgoing!

    Any help appreciated, settings on both computers are the same and the mail on this has worked for both incoming and outgoing until last night. I have not changed any settings.

  • Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
    I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
    Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.

  • Microphone not working on iphone

    Microphone only works when on speaker phone.

    Hi,
    I had the same issue here. bottom microphone not working on my iPhone4. tested an dtried some different apps and came up with the following:
    during voice call: bottom mic not working
    during facetime: YES other side can hear me
    memorecorder: YES sound is recorded
    video: YES sound is recorded
    I've searched around the web and the apple support pages, and found some simple options to be taken to resolve the issue:
    1 clean out the 2nd (noise cancellation) microphone (which is the little pinhole right beside the earphone jack)
    2 restart the device (eliminating virtually all software / app malfunctions)
    3 reset network settings in settings menu (eliminating network issues)
    4 full factory reset on iPhone4 (make sure to back it up properly before) (why should this be the resolution if the restart didn't do it before?).
    5 open up the backside and insert a little piece of cardboard (about 160gr/m2) as per the attached video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jhWxYTVxe4&feature=related
    6 go to the apple store / make an appointment with the genius bar
    neither 1, 2 nor 3 resolved my issue with the bottom mic during voice calls (I still could hear the other side, they could here nothing, or some static and crackling from my side). as gathered the 4th possiblity would not to make the difference (i got convinced this was more a hardware than software issue), i jumped to option 5.
    AND IT WORKS NOW!!! yippieeeee (what would an iPHONE be if you can't call....)
    all you need is a steady hand, good eyes and a ph00 or ph000 screwdriver.

  • Apple earpods microphone not working

    I have the apple earpods and the microphone does not work with my iphone 4 running ios 6. Everything works except the mic, when I plug them in the mic on the physical phone is never disabled and I have to use the phone mic if I want to speak. I want to use the mic on the headphones control, how do I fix this? (I do not want to upgrade my ios)

    think it more likely that it's an issue with the connector in the iphone
    a connector connect a piece of metal inside with the middle ring on the minijack if they don't touch it don't work

  • Shure Earphones (SE115m+) Microphone Not Working with OS X 10.6.6

    Since I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X 10.6.6 the microphone on my Shure Earphones no longer works, or is even detected in the Sound preferences. (Worked flawlessly with OS X 10.5.x). Kind of surprising since they sell them at the Apple store specifically for their compatibility.
    Shure Customer support insists it's Apple's problem:
    "Sorry, we have not encountered this problem before. There is no firmware or software in the SE115m+, so the change in performance has to be on the Apple side.
    Here is complete technical data on the "M+" product. Supply it to Apple and ask for their comments.
    Answer Title: SE115M+ Basic Features and Operation

    Also note that the volume control on these earphones does not work with the iPhone 3G.
    Anyone know of any solutions?

    Try resetting the PRAM.

  • Why is my microphone not working and wifi not being able to search for connections.

  • Microphone not working with speakerphone

    I recently purchased a iPhone 4 which is pre-owned.  I soon discovered that the microphone is not working when ever I'm using speakerphone. 
    The microphone works fine otherwise and I can hear the call fine when in speakerphone mode.  The problem is only with the microphone not working while in speakerphone mode.  Based on some initial Google searches, I can see this is a relatively common issue on iPhones (4 & 4s models) but have not seen a way to resolve.  Please help me resolve.

    This may be relevant. I've been getting warnings "Device storage almost full" recently - even though I have an SD card that is almost empty. I suppose the device doesn't know to automatically use that for any downloaded/photos, etc.
    In any case, I made some room, but is it possible that "core" stuff may have been overwritten (obviously some kind of s/w bug if so). How likely would this scenario be? I realize that anything is possible, including a meteor strike - but I was curious whether this is something that is "realitiscally" likely with the current BB OS.
    Also, if I back up my data, do an OS reload, and then restore my data - is there a chance that the problem might come back? (given that the data I will back up now will have "more space" than when the warnings started coming, since I deleted some stuff).
    Thanks again.

  • Myi iphone4  microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat

    Myi iphone4  microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat

    Did you try another restore and this time not to restore from a backup and see if that makes a difference? This is what Apple would tell you to do next based on my iphone 5 fiasco.
    Make sure all your data is available on your computer for manual syncing later.
    Since you did the hard reset I assume that means your home button isn't broken only that it got frozen before. Were you able to get the Apple logo after the reset? Did it boot?
    And you are using iTunes 10.7?
    I'm just trying to help get you going.

  • BB Q10 microphone not working

    Hi.. I just bought BB Q10 on 5th June 2013. Now after enjoying using it suddently few problems happen amd the most crucial problem is the microphone not working. Now i can talk on the phone by using loud speaker and handsfree kit only. The microphong for the handheld unit totally not functioning. Can anyone here help... Thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. If this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Good luck!
