My iPhone 4S microphone is not working in calls, voice memo or Siri! Please help!!!

I have never dropped my iphone and it's not water damaged. Today all of a sudden the microphone had stopped working on my calls, voice memos and Siri. It still works on speaker phone and when I put my headphones in! I really need help I don't want to have to buy a new one I only have it 6 months!!

This happened to me also.  iPhone 4s.  6.1.3.  Verizon.  Speakerphone stopped working during a phone call.  Speaker phone icon was lit.  Person on other side of call could listen in.  But no sound from speaker.  Music doesn't play.  Siri disappeared although she returned temporarily after I did a restore to new phone and then she went away again.  What I've tried without success.
Verified settings
Reset (soft and hard)
Restore to backup
Then full restore to new phone
Headphone jack in/out 7 or 8 times trick
Blow out headphone jack with compressed air
Carefully cleaning headphone jack with a slightly less cottoned Q Tip
Carefully examined dock port to see if there was debris
Blowing out the dock port with compressed air
Voodoo incantations
Sacrificing a McDonald's chicken nugget to the Gods of hunger
Nothing worked.  I've googled the problem and I see that there is a division in the tech nerds between hardware (speaker or dock problem) vs software (Apple screwed up one of the updates).  I'm suspecting a dock problem.  Phone out of warranty.  It's not a brick but it is certainly not as functional as it once was.  Any ideas?  dock? software? magic?  thx.

    your phone is still under warranty.  Bring it to Apple for evaluation.

  • My iphone's microphone is not working

    My iphone's microphone is not working, I can hear people, but they can't hear me. They can only hear me when the phone is on speaker. Also the phone isn't on warranty anymore, so what should I do?

  • My microphone does not work on calls on my iPhone 4

    Don't ask me what has happened and I have been through all of the troubleshooting that I can on my own. 
    I have no clue how to get a hold of a LIVE AT&T person or APPLE person.
    The problem is my microphone does not work when I use the telephone, whether I make the call or someone calls me.  It is NOT the MUTE button.  And yes, I have already rebooted my iPhone about 5 times now.  Has not fixed it either.
    But the microphone DOES work as I was able to record a new voicemail greeting to let people know my phone isn't working.
    So, they could call me all day long but they won't hear me, so who do I call using my landline (thankfully I kept it).
    It is the day after Thanksgiving and I would be a fool to head over to the Apple Store or the AT&T Store....
    Thank-you,
    Marcia

    Try disconnecting the headphones and then adjusting the volume, does it say headphones?
    There might be something in the headphone jack, maybe lint, dirt, or something else in there.
    Take a look at this Apple document for more information -> iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers

  • Iphone 5 microphone is not working?!

    My iphone 5 charger port was faulty then stopped working all together. By saving myself $80 I decided to do it by myself. It was a bit tricky but I eventually did it and everything was working perfectly fine.
    Then a few weeks later my mic would start to play up by not working about 50% of the time with my phone calls. But Siri will still hear me 100% of the time. In phone calls, swapping to loud speaker will sometimes fix the problem but not always. What could be the matter? How can I fix this?

    You voided any support from Apple when you opened up your phone. Google is your friend.

  • Iphone 4 earpiece speaker not working after call connection

    my iphone 4 earpiece speaker is not working, i replaced new speaker but still problem is persisting. When i keep the phone in freezer it works very well till phone is cool afterwords its speaker remain silent. any solution guys

    Stevo I did a complete restore, not sure if you've tried it yet but just make sure your stuff if backed up before you do it .  Then I started fresh like I just pulled the phone out of the box and with Verizon you dial *228 and select option 1 to update .  Then it all of a sudden started working agian .  Give it a shot .

  • IPhone 4 Mic & Speaker not Working during Call

    Hello All,
    I have iphone 4 and it was locked on at&t and was running ios 5.0.1, now i have unlocked my iphone and now i am using ios 5.1.1. But i have a problem, when i call someone i cant hear anything "no dial tone sound and no sound during call" & speaker mode is also not working and nor the person cant hear my voice. I also tested on my another phone but same problem.....
    So can you tell me is this a hardware problem or software problem ?? and yeah i can record voice memos and i can listen my memos with speaker on and off
    Waiting for reply....

    Do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide:
    1.  Reset iPhone (no data loss): Press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
    2.  Restore in iTunes using a backup
    3.  Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup.
    If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure.

  • IPad 2 microphone not working. On 4.3.3. Please HELP!

    Just noticed that the internal microphone on my ipad 2 64 GB (white) is not working. I even tried to record a video to see of it was an application problem but the video did not record sound either and just recorded static. I am still on the 4.3.3 firmware and haven't ever had any problems.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Pichkeopiseth-
    The iPad 2 has been out less than a year, so it is still under warranty.  Apple should repair or replace.  Whether they replace with a new or reconditioned unit, I can't say.
    For an out-of-warranty unit, an Apple Authorized Repair Center may be your best bet, since it is probably an easy repair.
    I suggest you verify that the problem exists in at least two Apps.  One I use is the free Skype App.  Skype has a test server you can call, that will record and play back your voice.
    If the microphone works sometimes but not others, try resetting (rebooting) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • My iphone 4s has a built in app called "voice Memos".  A colleague has an iPhone 4 unit which does not have this app. This has beem on my previous models.  Has it been discontinued? Is  it a carrier issue?

    "1  Which iphone models have the built in VOICE MEMOS app?  My 4S model has this, and i have also had this on my previous model.  A colleague has an iphone 4, and it is not showing.
    #2  Also, my 4S has a smart keyboard with the microphone icon to the left of the spacebar.  Which models have this?

    1) Either your friend has moved the icon into a folder or onto another screen, or they do not have a real iPhone (or their phone is jailbroken). It is present on all iPhones and can not be deleted.
    2) The 4S and higher have that. It requires Siri, which does not exist on the iPhone 4 and earlier.

  • The sound of the video's on my iPhone are distorted but it works fine with Voice Memo's.

    Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem and is able to help me with it - When I do a video recording on my IPhone 4S and play it back, the sound is low and distorted. I have done several voice recordings in 'Voice Memo's' to test the microphone and speaker but they both seem to be functioning properly as it worked perfectly. The sound also works perfectly with everything else including music, ringtones, texts etc. - If anyone has had this problem and/or knows how to solve it, it would help greatly. Thanks Very Much.   

    You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor.  Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.

  • Kodak printer will not work after upgrading to Yosemite.. Please Help

    I have uninstalled and re installed my kodak 5250 more than once and it still does not work. I have carried out a clean install of my Yosemite OS and still no joy. How do i fix this? 

    I've got the 7250 as well -- same exact issue. I sent an e-mail to Kodak support on Friday last week -- haven't heard anything, but they did ask for 2 business days time to respond.
    I've been running the Yosemite Beta on one of my machines for a few months now and my printer stopped working on that one after the upgrade. I kept Mavericks on my other Mac until this weekend, and printing still worked from that machine until I upgraded to Yosemite over the weekend.
    I've got Linux and Windows virtual machines that can print to the ESP 7250, so I can still print, albeit with the hassle of firing up a VM and printing from there... I sure hope Kodak responds! I offered to help them test any beta-quality drivers they may have, so -- we'll see what they say!
    I've been planning to ditch the printer and get a new one, but I'd rather not have to do it right this minute just for a driver issue :-/

  • Javascript not working in any browser except Opera! Please help!

    I don't know for what particular reason, javascript has stoppped working in all the browsers I have, (Safari, Firefox, Camino, OmniWeb,)except on Opera. Can anyone direct me in the right direction to solve this issue?

    Ok...
    1.) Unless it is a horribly designed site javascript not working would not prevent you from at least opening said site. You might not be able to use some of the features, or in the example of acual applications like gmail or then new yahoo mail you might not be able to use those at all since they are written soley for js. But for sites like VersionTracker it shouldnt make a difference.
    2.) Javascript is an interpeted language run on the client - ie the web browser. There is nothing to install. its part of the web browser youre using. You can uninstall and reinstall the browser itself but javascript is not a seperate component or something that is shared across applications that utilize it.
    Javascript is not the issue here at least in the case of versiontracker and 1010wins. I turned JAvascript off in my browser and visited both and they load jsut fine. Your eChalk mail might need js but i dont know about all that.
    So.... what happens when you try to visit one of these sites in one of the problem browsers???? Do you get a balck white screen? A server Error message? a DNS error? Does the app crash? etc..

  • Lan/Ethern​et not working but WIRELESS is... PLEASE HELP!!!

    Good Afternoon,
    I have an HP Omni-220-1025 and had to have my hard drive replaced, since that time I have been unable to go on the internet using the Ethernet setting.  My ISP came here to check their wiring to make sure and the technician told me I was missing those drivers.  Not very tech savvy (as I am learning) but I cannot seem to figure this out.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.   P.S.  The computer also has BEATS Audio which is not working as well.... seems like drivers were not reinstalled.... Thanks just me rambling...
    This question was solved.

    Hi:
    Sorry that didn't work either.
    The specs for your PC indicate that it has the Realtek 8111 gigabit ethernet adapter.
    Please see if installing the chipset driver gets the ethernet controller to wake up from its deep sleep.
