My mic for my iPhone 4S only works on speaker phone and doesn't work for Siri. What can I do?

My mic on my 4s only works on speaker phone in calls. It also doesn't work for Siri or voice memos. Is there any way to fix this without having to buy new parts or exchange it?

Hello there, mbrda92.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great, in-depth steps for troubleshooting your issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Particularly of note:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

    Theres almost a trick to it for first time users, goto SETTINGS...General......Cellular (if Verizon) ....Personal Hotspot, turn it on.....turn on wifi on your Mac, select your Iphone.  Enter password.
    If you take too long doing it, youll need turn turn off and on real quick the "personal hotspot" slider on the Phone.......then go quick again thur the Mac.

  • I bought a brand new charger for my iphone 5 less then two months ago and it doesnt work now

    i bought a brand new charger for my iphone 5 less then two months ago and it doesnt work now

    You will have a hard time taking it back.  Most places will claim you stepped on it accidentally and almost nobody will replace accidental damage for free.  2 months is also a long time.  Many places give you 15-30 dys to discover anything wrong and after that it is yours.

  • Iphone 4 the mike does not work when making a call.  it does work with speaker phone and face time

    Just activated new Iphone 4 and the mike does not work when making a call.  it does work with speaker phone and face time. Any known fixes?

    My wife's iphone 4 also has your same no ring problem as does my iphone 5 just less often.  I called her iphone 4 at home from where I work 20 miles away on my iphone 5.  With her phone in 3G mode ONE call went through and 9 went to voice mail in 10 tries.  This is a 10% sucess rate!!  I also could listen in real time from the wired work phone and the wired home phone.  She turned off 3G mode and it went to "O" mode at  the top left of the screen after the ATT.  In this mode it rang on the first ring tone 5 times out of 5 tries which is 100% of the time.  I have learned that the calling party will hear up to 4 ring tones when placing a call on the ATT network.  If the ring tone changes volume slightly before the 4th ring then and only then will the cell phone start to ring.  If the ring tone does not change after the 4th ring you get voice mail.  If the calling party does not leave a voice message there is never a missed call displayed on the iphone.  If the calling party does leave a voice message a few minutes later the iphone dings for arriving voice mail but still no missed call indication. 
    This appears to be related to the time of day and the ATT tower that the receiving caller is using.  Tried other towers and it works in 3G mode 10 times out of 10 tries.  Apple replaced the first iphone 4 with a new phone, no improvement.  ATT replaced the SIM card and no improvement.  ATT so far is clue less.  This has been going on every since we got the new iphones which is 4 months.  The ATT web site also describes this same problem from several years ago.  Has anyone got better information?
    Thanks

  • Both my cameras are not working I took it in and they reset the phone and it still continued to happen what can I do?

    Both my cameras are not working I took it in and they reset the phone and it still continued to happen what can I do?

    If a Restore of iPhone with iTunes on computer does not get it working correctly. Then it is hardware problem. Apple with handle this with Replacement iPhone 4S exactly same as yours for $199. If there is any hope at fixing this otherwise, first step would be to replace the front (facetime camera) first. See if both cameras function after this. If not, if there is any fix possible it will be very difficult. Replacement iPhone may be best plan.

  • HT5714 I pre order midnight memories/ one direction album but only 4 songs where downloaded and the rest say purchased. What can i do to download the rest?, it doesnt give me the option to download?

    I preorder an album but only 4 songs where downloaded but the rest of the album is not it only says purchased, please help me resolve this matter!?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I updated my software to OS 6 on my iPhone 4 (not S), now the phone app doesn't work.

    I receive texts and voicemail, but can't call out or receive calls. I have full bars of service. When I try calling I get a calling screen, then it beeps, and I get a call ended screen, no ringing sounds whatsoever. I tried resetting network settings, but that didn't work.

    DO NOT restore all settings!!!!  This will require you to call and reactive your services, rendering your phone a useless brick!  You will lose all contacts, photos, etc...  You need to restore your phone to its last back up.  Then do the update on your computer.  This will resolve your issues.

  • HT4623 I have just updated my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS version and lost all my data! What can I do to get it back?

    (0xE800000A) my itunes account will now not connect to my iPhone, what has happened?

    I updated via my laptop and always kept the latest version on there.
    I may delete my iTunes and then re-install just to make sure it is the most up to date version but I am 99% sure it is.
    The update for my phone has worked...it is running off the iOS6.0.1 but just without all my old data (as I didnt back it to iCloud but iTunes instead).
    Also, as of about 10 minutes ago my iTunes isn't functioning properly.
    Will see if re-installing iTunes helps or not, seems like my files are gone for good though.
    I am getting the iPhone 5 next week, hence my last minute rush to update all software...seems to have backfired somewhat!

  • Downloaded ios 6 on iphone 4s, iphone has a pic of cord/plug and itunes pic above it. What can I do?

    I downloaded ios 6 on iphone 4s, the iphone has a pic of a connection cord with iTunes written above it.  When I connected the iphone to the laptop I get the message "itunes detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes"  What does this mean?  Do I have to restore the iphone to factory settings?  I have data in the iphone that I can not lose.  Please help me.

    How exactly were you able to do that? Since the only signed software, for your phone, is iOS 7.0.3, that's the only version of iOS you could install on your phone.

  • Do you receive the giftcard to pay for the iphone or do you purchase the phone itself then receive the giftcard?

    Do you receive the giftcard to pay for the iphone or do you purchase the phone itself then receive the giftcard?

        I can clarify, aeeidt. If you purchase the iPhone in store, the trade in is done in the same transaction. If you ordered your iPhone online and you have submitted your appraisal, you will receive your gift card 4-6 weeks after you ship your traded in device to us.
