Microphone stopped working after Update

After upgrading my iPhone 5 to ios7.0.3, the microphone stopped working with calls on speakerphone or when asking Siri a question.  I took it to the Genius bar where they verified that it was a hardware issue, and charged me $199+tax to get a replacement phone.  That was after I talked them down from $269+tax.
This is an awesome scam - ruin your customers' hardware, and charge them to resolve it. The last Apple product I will ever by is this replacement phone.  Look for my iPad, iPad mini, Apple TV, iPod Nano, my week old $1,900 MacBook Air, and this replacement iPhone 5 64Gb on eBay this weekend.  It will take a little longer to liquidate my companies' Macs.  Lesson learned: never trust your business to a company that makes the software and the hardware.
Note this is the 2nd replacement phone.  The original iPhone 5 I bought died after about 6 months, and this one made it about another 6.  I didn't realize I was buying a $700 disposable phone.

try restoring it has new and then taking it in to apple

  • Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6, help!

    Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6.  The little iPhone charger charges it very very slowly, but the charger gets really hot after a while.  I restored it and everything works but the charger.  It's only a few months old, should I try a new iPad wall charger block?

    Hi,
    I did this after reading the forums and it made no difference. it has actually charged from 14% to 67% but thats taken over 12 hours.
    Will monitor it and if no joy will go to a apple store
    Thanks

    That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region. If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

  • Earpiece stopped working after updating to 5.0.1.

    It worked fine the night before.  Then it stopped working after updating to 5.0.1.  I can only hear calls on speaker.  Did anyone else have this problem.  I have tried all the fixes, restart, reboot, restore.  No debris in the headphone jack, and when volume is turned up or down it doesn't show headphones on the screen.  Nothing covering the earpiece.  Tried to blow out headphone jack with compressed air.  I'm thinking it is a glitch in the software.  Using Iphone 4 on Verizon.  Any thoughts or ideas?

  • HT201371 Touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.

    Good morning to all,
    My touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.
    It was working perfectly until the update and then it stopped recognizing my prints
    I've reset the phone and deleted my fingerprints and now I can't even add a fingerprint again.
    I am sure this is not a hardware problem since the phone was working perfectly before the update and it didn't fall nor anything similar.
    Also the sensor is clean as well as my fingers.

    Same problem... I think we all should let Apple know of this issue. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ tell them the probelm. So when they get too many complains they will surely fix it ASAP with a software update.

  • Earphone microphone stopped working after IOS 6 update

    As soon as I completed the updates on all my devices the earbud microphones stopped working!  The reboot fix does not work...obviously due to a bug in the update!  Anyone else having this issue?

    I had this problem to so I called my network carrier O2 and the problem was when I updated using wifi it used my 3G data instead and used all my data up, apparently they don't charge you when you go over the limit but it runs super slow to a point you think it's stopped working. O2 gave me 1gig of data free to try it and its working fine now even better than ios5.1.1. Hope this helps

  • IPhone 5 microphone not working after updating to iOS 7.1.1

    After my phone updated my microphone stop working during phone calls . I have to put the phone on speaker in order for the other person to hear me..
    It works fine whole using Siri , but not with voice memo app... This has to be a software issue because I replaced the mic and still having the same problem..

    I hate it when updates break things instead of fixing them. Can't Mozilla leave well enough alone? At the very least, each new release should be tested so it works with ALL PREVIOUS extensions!
    Wait till you "update" to firefox 4 and EVERYthing breaks, including the buttons that come with it. There is no arrow next to the dropdown button, right clicking the tab bar doesn't bring up the correct menu, but one as though it were the menu bar (which is missing) and the information bar is missing. True, it's fast, but you'll spend weeks getting it to work properly.

  • Why do some apps stop working after update to iOS 6?

    I notice one of my apps stopped working after the iOS 6 update, in particular Uno HD, which I paid $5 for.  Why did this happen?

    I had solved the problem by installing the free app, which seemed to reset something, then I deleted the free app, and the paid version continued to work until the next day.  I was going to show one of my friends the game, and then it once again would not open- the same problem was back, as soon as I went to open it, it crashed back to the desktop without opening the game.  I had to re-install the free version again, and for a while, neither version would work, but then after a while, it started working again.  I guess I have to leave the free app installed or I won't be able to use the paid version of Uno.
    EDIT
    Just checked again, took the Uno app out of resident memory by double-pushing the home button and holding the app icon til it starts to shake, and then hit the minus symbol, which deletes it out of resident memory.
    Went to open it again, and it of course crashed back to the desktop again.  So there is some issue with it that is making it unstable.
    I have to keep pushing on either one of  the app icons continuously until one of them starts, and then the other one will start.
    Gameloft needs to do an update.

  • The inspector stopped working after update

    The inspector stopped working after an update. When I click on the inspector button it says "An unexpected error has occured. Please quit and reopen Keynote." Quitting and reopening Keynote does not fix the problem. Inspector does not work in Pages either (it doesn't do anything when I click on it), but it does work in Numbers. I also am having problems opening files created in Numbers before the update.

  • Whenever I FaceTime on my new MacBook Air, the microphone stops working after a little while, how can I fix this?

    I recently got a refurbished MacBook Air from Apple. Whenever I FaceTime, my microphone stops working, and the person on the other end can't hear me. I end up having to FaceTime them on my iPod Touch, which can be a bit frustrating. Are there any solustions to this?

    Why does that seem likely to be a hardware issue? How did you come to that conclusion? Do you know something about this issue that indicates that? (I realise that this might sound short and rude - I am not trying to be rude here - just to understand) My thought is that conventional troubleshooting would say that this is a software issue because it is fixed with a restart.
    I also have this problem. The camera quits working after some time - I have not been able to make it stop working. Sometimes it is after I suspend the computer (close the lid) other times it still works.
    All I know is that intermittently my camera stops working and it is a big pain to have to reboot whenever I am going have a video chat.
    Anyone got any solutions, I'm not covered by applecare so would rather try and fix it myself if possible?

  • Dell XPS 15 l502x mini-Display Port stopped working after update.

    After the updates on the 11-10-2014 my mini-display port (which worked great previously and is part of the Intel Graphics) stopped working.
    Am running Arch 64bit with Slim + E19
    The symptoms are:
    1. Detects monitor from the laptop and xrandr throws no errors
    2. Enlightenment thinks the screen is connected and it appears in the screen setup as on.
    3. The monitor no longer recognizes that there is a laptop plugged in and just stays off...

    So I downgraded those packages and the kernel with no luck.
    I tried to get the HDMI working via Synergy... and failed
    I then tested the Display Port on Windows and it did not work there either - exhibiting the same symptoms as Linux - the OS sees the monitor but no data was transferred.
    So I ended up using one of my Display Link monitors at work... the USB monitors were ok, just an irritation with a flickering mouse.
    I hope it is the miniDP>HDMI adapter and not the port... very frustrated by this problem.
    I hope to test another adapter soon.
    I think as nobody else is experiencing this issue that it may well be hardware/firmware related.
    Hope there is a happy end to this post but not feeling so positive right now.

  • Yoga 13 touch screen stopped working after update KB3000850, please help!

    Hi, my Yoga 13 touch screen has been working fine until yesterday. The laptop came with Windows 8, and last year I upgraded to Windows 8.1 without issue. Yesterday, I installed optional update KB3000850 from Windows Update, and immediately the touch screen stopped working. I have tried the following methods, all without success:
    * Uninstall KB3000850 from Windows Update
    * Use Windows Restore to restore to the point before yesterday
    * Re-install Intel Chipset Driver from Lenovo official driver page
    * In Device Manager, uncheck all the "allow system to turn off to save power" options for the USB input devices under Human Interface Devices then restart
    * Two-button shutdown and restart
    * Install Lenovo Driver Manager and let it check for new drivers
    * Download Cando multi touch panel driver (Note: I could not install the driver because all I got was a .cab file which does not allow me to install)
    As of now my touch screen is still not working. Computer Information page from Settings shows that there is no touch or pen device for my screen.
    Can anybody help me with this? Thanks!

    Very true, this has been a known problem since the first day Lenovo released the Yoga 13.
    I need to send Lenovo a bill for my time spent rebooting.  So far i am on my 8th reboot.  In the past, around 5 reboots after winddows update would work.  This time... who knows.
    Of course it always happens when you have a deadline.
    Please post back if you have found a better soultion than system restore.
    Thanks for posting this issue.  More users need to bring this to Lenovo's attention.
