Mike and/or speaker kept switching off during phone calls

I just returned my 4s after less than 24 hours and have gone back to my 3 because teh mike and/or speaker kept switching off during calls using the handset, the apple headset and my blueant bluetooth, they could not replace it today so I returned it and may repurchase at a latter date if this is not at common problem... has anyone else had this problem?

KBurd,
If the proximity sensor is covered by a case, your hand, or by being close to your face, the screen should go dark and unresponsive, but the call should not be disconnected.
Is there anything covering the proximity sensor? It is located between the earpiece and the top edge.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

  • Iphone 4 turns off during phone call

    My iphone 4 bought in portugal to vodafone is randomly turning off at full charge during phone calls is driving me crazy!!! It has been to vodafone twice.

    Thanks for sharing.
    Are you asking a question here?

  • My 4S iphone keeps trying to turn off during phone calls and drops the calls.  Sometimes I have to call back 3-4 times to finish a conversation.

    While talking on my iphone, the phone tries to turn itself off.  Not just once, but continuous, and not just dropping the call, but actually tries to turn itself off.

    Well, then I'm glad this is most probably not a hardware issue - at least not an exceptional, maybe defect of all? -. This seems to be a good idea, because 2G will nearly everywhere available, so phone calls are not likely to drop at all. I'm just a bit confused, because they promised intelligent switch even during calls. For me that means that if the better, faster connection is available, then it uses that, and if it wouldn't be, then it switches to the slower one.
    Anyways, thanks for your reply. I guess it's a "just get used to it" issue.

  • N73 auto switch off during voice call

    I know there's a topic about this auto switch off, but the reply didn't answer anything specific about this..
    My N73 am using the latest firmware, the phone is superb, only if this problem doesn't occur.. It happen when I was in the middle of a conversation, and suddenly there's no voice on the other line, I tot it was my telco problem, and then when I was about to push the end call button, I only realise my phone has auto switch off itself.. Zzz.. This happen not once, but very frequently, and I'm puzzled cause sometimes I can chat for a very long time without a problem, and sometimes the auto off problem occurs many times in a day..
    Anyone encounter this problem b4? Is there a fix to this? =(Message Edited by kaytse82 on 02-Jun-200707:18 AM

    The best thing you can do is book the handset into a NSC for the handset to be checked out.

  • 8910i switches off during the call. Battery full

    Hi there,
    Bought 8910i brand new...
    Battery fully charged but when receiving a call it switches off showing Battery Empty...
    Turn it on and shows battery charged ok..
    Is there any solution? I think the battery is "moving" in slot.
    Phone bought on ebay and return process just gonna be a hassle..
    Please help
    Thank you

    Three choices really,
    Send it back.
    Book it into a Nokia Service centre, as it could be the power management is shot.
    Wedge something in where the battery is to make a more stable connection.
    Good luck

  • Display screen off during phone calls

    Hi Sony, lately my Z1 compact switches off display during phonecalls even when pulled away from my ear thus before setting the power button as an "end calls" option I could not end calls as my display screen is off for close to a minute... What can I do?

    @252293 - If you have a case or screen protector attached, please remove it and tell me if the problem continues.
    @Robertnaples - In your case I can only advise you to speak with your local  Xperia Care team as your handset may require further assessment.

  • Iphone turn off during phone call

    Hi, my iPhone 3GS (with iOS 5.0.1) turn off automatically during normal phone calls (i.e. without hands-free talking) after approx. 5 minutes. After a couple of minutes the iPhone come back to the normal "standby" situation, i.e. I can press the home button and unlock the iPhone to do everthing like normal (without any long phone calls). When I am using hands-free talking (like in the car) the iPhone is working as expected without any malfunction.
    This effect was shown up at each call (> 5 min.) since the update to iOS 5. By using of iOS 4 the iPhone has worked as expected.
    Who knows about this effect and possible solutions to fix it?
    Kind regards, Frank

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

    Thank you!  I'm glad I'm not alone.  I've had my pre for about 6 weeks and I love it. So... I bought an INVISI-SHIELD for over $20 at Best Buy.  Then the flickering and blank screens started a few days later. The only difference was the new protective, invisible, EXPENSIVE piece of plastic - so I trim it back to just the face (assuming it was a side sensor glitch) but it still didn't stop it.  So I peeled off the skin tonight and it seems to be fine... for the time being.
    A WARNING would've been nice before I spent my money. I want to be reimbursed by Sprint! Thanks community - it was nice to get help from YOU!

  • During phone calls the screen doent turn off, during phone calls the screen doesn't turn off

    The phone screen doesnt turn off when i put it on my ear to make a phonecall

    This may very well be an issue with the proximity sensor. Take it to an Apple Store; they'll be able to let you know for sure. But first, to rule out a software issue, try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears.

  • Ipod kept switching off

    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Yesterday my ipod kept switching off during songs. A tap on the central button switched it back on and it continued playing but kept doing this every minute or so. The screen just kept greying out.
    Today I switch it on and it plays fine continuously. Is this just a glitch or can I stop it if it starts doing it again?

    I had the exact symptoms you describe. (nano 3rd gen) Not sure if it was necessary, but I went ahead and performed the restore. So far it's going along as it had before.
