Normal to not hear my end of a telephone call?

Hello all,
I use an Etymotic hf2 for telephone calls on my 3GS. I can hear the other party, and they can hear me just fine, but I cannot hear my own side of the conversation in the earphones. It just feels like dead air. Is this normal? Is there some setting on the iPhone I can use so that my side of a telephone conversation can be heard on the headphones?

Yes, I'm sure that's true. I can have the sort of "feedback" I find helpful by just using the iPhone without a headset when making telephone calls. It seems it's only with the headset I use that I get the "dead air" effect.
I think the "feedback" effect may only be noticed when it's absent. Speaking into a telephone that is not connected will make the "dead air" effect noticeable.
Rather like talking into a brick.
None-the-less, I can easily avoid the effect by simply not using the headset when making telephone calls.

  • Lync 2013 not hear ring back in mobile when call by number

    Hi,
    I have setup a Lync server 2013 standard Front end on windows server 2012 R2 and also installed update for Mobility service and enabled it. It seems everything works perfect but...
    When I call by number in android phones and iphones, I do not hear ring back tone, although call is proceeded and if the calling person answer the call, everything will be fine. The strange thing is that if I call by name I hear ring back
    tone.
    This problem does not exist while using windows phone or desktop client.
    Thanks, Amir.

    Early media refers to media (e.g., audio and video) that is exchanged  before a particular session is accepted by the called user.
    If the remote party does not generate it, then you will not hear it. As stated by Holger, the logs will have this information. Without the logs it is not possible to identify where the problem is. Your app might have received it and not played it or it was
    never send.

  • How to configure SharePoint HNSC with a reverse proxy server so that HNSC Share Point URLs are not exposed to end users.

    Could you please let me know how SharePoint HNSC can be configured with a reverse proxy server so that HNSC Share Point URLs are not exposed to end users.
    In normal path based site collections/web applications, reverse proxy configuration can be done using alternate access mappings with  Public URL = "proxy URL", internal = "HNSC Share Point URL" so that share point sends response back
    to Public URL = "proxy URL".
    In Host Named Site Collections,  alternate access mappings  are not supported. Each HNSC is designed to have only one URL in each zone. Zone is one of the five zones(Default,Intranet,Internet,Custom,Extranet) with each of which only one alternate
    URL is associated.  This is what we are able to get using power shell command "Set-SPSiteUrl", but this will not help us to get the response back to proxy URL after a request sent to share point because we could not find any mechanism in share
    point HNSC to respond  to a different URL(proxy URL). Consequently, Share Point URLs are exposed to  external users.
    Below share point article in MSDN blog is symmetrical to what we are observing with Share Point 2013 and Proxy Server. It mentions that internal HNSC URLs can’t be hidden using any proxy server. If  hiding the internal Share Point URLS is a requirement,
    it suggests to use a web application instead of host named site collections.
    Though I’m also observing the same behavior with Share Point 2013 HNSC, Could you please confirm my understanding is correct.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaevans/archive/2012/03/27/what-every-sharepoint-admin-needs-to-know-about-host-named-site-collections.aspx
    Excerpt from above article-
    "Host Named Site Collections Only Use One Host Name
    Continuing on the discussion on AAMs and host named site collections, you cannot use multiple host names to address a site collection in SharePoint 2010. Because host-named site collections have a single URL, they do not support alternate access mappings and
    are always considered to be in the Default zone.  This is important if you are using a reverse proxy to provide access to external users. Products like Unified Access Gateway 2010 allow external users to authenticate to your gateway and access a site
    as http://uag.sharepoint.com and forward the call to http://portal.sharepoint.com. Remember that URL rewriting is not permitted. Further, a site collection can only respond to one host name. This means if you are using a reverse proxy, it must forward the
    calls to the same URL.  If your networking team has a policy against exposing internal URLs externally, you must instead use web applications and extend the web application using an alternate access mapping."<u5:p></u5:p>

    Hi Satish,
    You are right that only one URL is allowed for each zone of the host-name site collections in both SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.
    It is by design that each host-name site collection only support one URL for each zone.
    The article below is about RTM version of SharePoint, and it is the same for SharePoint 2013 with the latest CU.
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2826457
    So to make the URL of HNSC not exposed to external users is not supported, you need to use path-based sites instead.
    Best regards.

  • IChat Can be heard and watched, I can Watch but I can not Hear

    Hi iChat Forum,
    I'm new into the Mac world environment with a recent out of the box MacBook Pro that I just recently received three weeks ago. One of the main concerns that I would like to share with you is Video Conferencing with a PC AIM user, which I think this deserve some sort of investigation or if you have any suggestion that I could do to solve the problem I really, really would appreciate it.
    Let me tell you my story:
    On me side, I'm in UK based with:
    - A New MacBook Pro, No modification to any settings.
    - Firewall, I checked settings and it is off.
    - BT Voyayer2091-B7 Wireless ADSL Router (Works Great), high speed.
    - Setup Account for iChat on AIM network
    Other End, My Wife based in Mexico with:
    - Dell Latitud D810 Intel Prowireless, Windows XP SP2 (1.8GHZ, 2MB Memory), No internal microphone integrated.
    - Ethernet Broadband connection, high speed.
    - Webcam PCL-300K connected trough a USB port with Microphone.
    - Setup account for iChat on AIM network
    We followed the recomended setting described by this two sources:
    http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html
    and
    http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/index.html
    Without too much hassle we were able to communicate each other, wow! this is great it works!! we though, with a little bit of delay in the frame display but voice very clear this was enough to keep in touch each other.
    After three weeks of succesfull communication on both ends for long periods (1.5hrs) without any interruptions we were able to communicate, and it was four days ago that all of the sudden we starting having problems with our communication, starting primarly with receiving this message errors of not responding for an invitation from her after I accepted her request, the same situation in the otherway around. However after disconnecting and trying again it was only when she invited and I responded (Accepting) which finally we stablish communication again.
    The Problem:
    Now, even that we are able to stablish communication with Video in both ends, she CAN perfectly hear me and watch me, on the other hand I CAN see her but CAN NOT hear!!. At first we though it was a problem on the microphone, not switched on or some kind of sound setting that she might turned off, but NOT, everything was right.
    Well, I refer back to the documentation described in the links above thinking that this may be an issue with the router on her END not Mine or firewall setting. She reinstalled everything and follow all the required steps to setup the setting of the firewall according to documentation and we tried again with the same results.
    On my end as I mentioned previously I do not have any firewall set on in my Mac, the only bit that I have not check yet is the router configuration, and the reason is because I'm in a renting property that provide us with Broadband connection to internet that individual or different computers/pcs have access to. And because everything worked fine at first, I don't think there are setting there that are needed to be changed, no one has make anychanges to the router and everything works fine.
    Our last resource for us was, thinking that it might be a problem with her microphone in her web cam, so we decided to use SKIPE instead, and surprise!, we could stablished only voice communication in both ends, so this proved that her Microphone setting are OK!, so our work around to our communication and Video problem is to open an iChat convertation for the VIDEO part, On my END and set the MUTE and Open, at the same time a SKIPE session for Audio only. This works pretty good and actually the frame rate of the display on boths ends accelarate a lot.
    If I check connection Doctor on the iChat session I received 100% coomunication with video and 0% Voice, still I don't received Voice from her.
    I know this is not the good solution and I'm still concern of what wen't wrong on that time that interrupted our communication without doing anything in the settings in both machines.
    We decided not to spend more time anymore on this matter due to I'm very tire investigating what migh have been wrong, but as I said this is not the right solution something is wrong in my settings which does not allow me to pass through voice signals from her. I reached to the point to reinstall ichat but because this is NEW machine and don't want to incurr in the same sort of situation I had with Windows, that is why I personally switched to Mac.
    Well have a happy reading and if you come up with some solution or you have come across with something similar and managed to soleved it I really would appreciate it you help or advice.
    Kind regards
    Alberto

    Hi BetoMosqueda,
    Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
    If your wife has unplugged her Mic at any time she will need to redo the tuning.
    It is also possible that her video quality need to be reduced to allow the audio to come through.
    You should start a chat.
    At her end she should see your incoming video is in one of two tabs.
    She should click on the rear tab which will come to the front and show her preview.
    A small icon should appear to the right of the tab.
    She should click on this to bring up a slider.
    Sliding this to the left will reduce her video quality.
    At this point this will allow the processor at her end to produce new frames faster which means her pic to you will smooth out a bit.
    If you open the Connection Doctor from the Video menu you will see the frame rate and Bitrate go up.
    As the slider gets moved further to the left you should get Audio.

  • I have an iPhone 4, and the other person can not hear me when i call, any ideas?

    I am originally from SD, but i was in boulder, colorado this weekend and my iPhone 4 worked fine on Saturday. I got up on Sunday and when i would make a call, the person on the other end could not hear me. I thought it might have been something with the service, but once i got back to SD, the same thing happened. I took it into AT&T and they said it was probably something with the microphone, well today i tried facetiming someone and they could hear me. Anyone know any solutions or what may be wrong?
    Thanks!

  • Phone is not getting signal to make calls, sometime it works but not for the most part.  I can hear callers at times but they can not hear me.

    Hello.
    Looking for help on how to get a better signal when receiving and placing calls.  Phone got a little wet and is having hard time placing calls and receiving call.  Calls are breaking up most of the time but some times I have 4 bars and phone calls goes through just fine. Noticed phone is having troubling connecting to towers.  Get a call but caller can not hear me when I have only one bar showing on phone.  Phone does hit 4 bars sometime and phone call is clear.  Any suggestion., new phone still learning how to use.   Should I try to reset to factory settings???  Have read lot of negative comments on the web about doing this.  Trying all options before going to the Apple store.
    Thanks for any help or advice.

    I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple.  I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it.  Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours),  I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
    I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway).  Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent.  I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
    Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something.  Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month.

  • Safari do not open and ends up not responding

    Hi,
    Safari no longer works for me after a software update. Safari will not open and ends up not responding upon launch at which time I have to force quit.
    I have gone through the Mac help forums without finding a suitable answer and I tried the following actions but unfortunately not one is working.
    -I have tried to uninstall and install safari again (to uninstall the program I have deleted also all the cookies in preferences and library and application support);
    -I have created a new user and safari does not work for the new user either.
    It seems to me that the mac feels that a safari window is open but I cannot see it.
    Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

    A few things you can try (I see you have tried some of them already):
    If your Safari won't open, one or more of the following procedures should fix it:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Safari/ folder and remove the following two files:
    ¥ history.plist
    ¥ lastsession.plist
    (Safari may not load properly If these two files are corrupted.)
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ and remove the contents of that folder.
    (These are just webhistory files and are not required for Safari to run. However, similar to preference files, problems can arise if they have become corrupt.)
    3. Locate the cookies.plist file that's located in the Home/Library/Cookies/ folder and remove it.
    (Again, faults in stored cookies may interfere with Safari's launch.)
    4. Check whether any of your third-party internet plug-ins may be interfering with the launch of Safari by carefully moving them to the desktop (do NOT delete them at this stage). You can find these in two places:
    Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder, and Global plug-ins are located in the Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder.
    Also look in Library/Input Managers where other third party add-ons may lurk. If you find a SIMBL folder, please note that some SIMBLE.bundles may require updating or possibly removal.
    Restart Safari and place them back in the correct folders, one at a time, closing and re-opening Safari each time. If you discover that one of them was causing the problem with launching Safari, trash it and download and install a fresh copy.
    If Safari is getting very slow:
    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
    If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
    If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
    You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
    If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
    One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x
    This is described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
    If Safari seems to hang for ages:
    If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
    Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
    killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
    Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
    Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.

  • Using skype to go to call Brazil I could not hear ...

    I call from US to Brazil on the regular basis for a couple years using my skype to go numbers, but for some reason the last few days I have had an issue where they can hear me but I can't hear them in the other end of the call. Most recently last Sunday and Monday and today 27/05/2014 I could not hear the recipient, but they could hear me.
    Why is that happening ? And more important how can I get this fix?

  • When placing call can not hear ringer in earpeice

    When placing phone call,can not hear phone ringing in earpeice,speakerphone works ok when turned on ,then turning off speaker phone phone works ok

    I am having the same problem with my iPhone 4s with iOS 5.0.1.
    Symptoms: I dial the number and the phone's display shows "calling ..." and the red "End" button, but I cannot hear an outgoing ringer.
    I was under the impression that the phone on the other end (that I was calling) was not ringing either, but that is not the case.  The phone on the receiving end rings.  I cannot hear the person I'm calling (or his/her answering machine) if he/she/it picks up.
    My carrier is AT&T, but others in my office with the same phone/carrier have not experienced this problem.
