My phone turns mute when in the middle of a call?

Latly when I'm talking on my iphone4 my phone mutes and the people on the other end can't hear me in mid conversation.  If I put the phone back down to look at it then I have to go to speaker phone.  What is going on , my phone is 2 weeks old!

This used to happen to me when the iPhone 4 first came out but after an update it was resolved.  I think there was a proximity sensor issue with the old iOS code but it seems to be better now.  It hasn't happened with me running iOS5.
Test putting your hand near the proximity sensor while on a call and see if you screen goes dim, if not then I would bring it back to the Apple store and see if they would replace the phone since you've only had it for 2 weeks.

    I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5.  I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s.  However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call.  I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss.  The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens.  All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
    Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
    This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue

    If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:

    Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
    Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
    I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue.  I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web.  Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

    My Iphone5 was replaced and having same Problem. Only does this when using bluetooth for talking.

    I have the exact same issue... I've been using a Jabra Extreme2 and just this weekend, bought a Plantronics Marque2 and today had the same issue, so it's clearly not the headset but the phone or OS.
    I might try a restore and see if it helps...

    I would have had the phone looked at long before a month of problems.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. You phone is under warranty and someone at an Apple store can help you.

  • Horizontal spry menu style appears turned off when on the internet though can view it in live mode!?

    The style of the horizontal spry menu seems as to have been turned off when on the web though is visible and functioning on CS4 Dreamweaver design and live views. I have styled the spry menu and can view it in the properties section though the style setting is there on the internet it looks as if the styles have turned off and appears unformatted vertically when it should be a cascading horizontal menu bar. Not sure where the error is, I have looked at the coding and as I'm not the most experienced with spry.....
    this is the coding above the head.
    <script src="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript">
    <link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <!--
    var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1", {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif", imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
    //-->
    </script>
    I have noticed that SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css doesn't appear in the spry assets folder, does this matter? (not sure how to insert into the assets menu).  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    thanks for testing it. I'm not sure how to proceed though as the css file is in my local_sites/spry assets folder for the website. I've tried to point it to other (copies of SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css) and spry assets folder externally from the site and again internally in the root folder and seems to make little or no difference.
    Your suggestion of what it should read,(sorry to sound so naive at all this) though would you mind giving a step-by-step guide on how to go about it? as I'm obviously missing something in the setup process.
    thanks again for your help.

  • Does the Nano 6th stay turned on when on the dock connector?

    Does the newest mini Nano 6th stay turned on when on the dock or connector cable?
    Can it be used as a clock all night to see the time or does it "time out" and turn off?

    I am confused.  Time Machine is software, did you mean Time Capsule?
    Turn off the Time Capsule to see what happens then.

  • Hearing problems in the middle of a call

    ive having problems with my call lately , iam in the middle of a call and the other part begin to hear a kind of static meanwhile i can hear them clearly, its weird because it happens quen the headsets are plugged too, but when i put the mophie juice pack on the phone the problem disapears, i wonder why this is happening and if theres a software update to relieve my phone of the static noise=?

    It may be that the phone is set to remind you when your balance falls below a certain amount. Its usually $5.00, I have been on the phone for long lengths of time and have never had this happen. Check under Setting and Tools and sound or voice settings. Also notifications settings. There mights be somewhere that says "remind me"

  • Can I transfer a call to another Verizon cell in the middle of a call?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer a call to another Verizon cell in the middle of a call?  Not call forwarding, but transfer during the call?
    So, I answer the phone and talk to the caller.  Then, I want to transfer the caller to Joe on another cell phone.  Is there any way to put the caller on hold and transfer the call to Joe's Verizon cell?
    My understanding is that call forwarding only works for the initial phone call - the call forwards to another number, but it won't work in the middle of a call. 
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks

    All the older Nokia phones you answer a call – you can put it on hold – call someone else, tell him/her that you are transferring a call – press  4 and hang up. Those two can continue the conversation together.
    That’s what I’m looking for.
    With Lumia I don’t want to be the 3rd wheel in the conversation... 
    I haven't found the way to end the call so that the others could continue (not even with conference call)

  • Super sensative keyboard and keep putting my phone on mute or on speaker while on a call. What can i do?

    Suddenly my iphone has a super sensative keyboard and keep putting my phone on mute or on speaker while on a call. What can i do?

    Do you have a screen protector? If so, try removing it and see.
    You can also try cleaning your screen with a lint free cloth, pretty much the same way you clean your glasses.

  • My daughter lost her phone.  It is still ringing when called and is showing up on our family locator.  Is there anyway to pinpoint where it is?  She didn't have icloud find my phone turned on when the phone was lost.

    My daughter lost her iphone.  I can locate it with verizon family locator, as it is still working, but this doesn't pinpoint it well enough for us to find it.  She did not have the find my iphone in icloud turned on when the phone was lost.  Is there any way to change the settings on her phone from a pc so I can turn this on?

    If the iphone is a device which is using the iOS 7.0.4 then the 'find my device' is turned on by default. With this being said if you will go to www.icloud.com and login with your apple id login which is assocaited with the device icloud will pinpoint the device within a 10 meter radius.
    Good luck Friend.
