Others cant hear me when I'm lying down on my bed

People are unable to hear me properly while im lying on the bed.
I thoughts its with my network issue in my home where I usually lay down but it happens elsewhere too.
Weird part is that they can hear me when I sit up straight.
I did find few similar questions asked by many people but was unable to find the solution there.
Kindly assist me as the only time I peacefully talk on the phone is when im lying down before sleeping. Thanking you in advance

Take it into an Apple store to get checked out.

So the the rest of the time, your phone calls are angry?

On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when on calls using internet based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. Voice memos work too and have already tried different SIMs

On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when I make/receive calls using internet-based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. I have tried recording my voice using voice memos - this works. And have already tried different SIM cards but the problem persists.
I have taken my phone to an authorized Apple service center, where they restored my phone to factory settings, but still facing the same issue. They service center directed me to Apple Customer Care Hotline, where I have now spent 3+ hours explaining my issue and yet no one can resolve it. The easy answer if to replace the phone - and since it is out of warranty, I am expected to pay for it.
Additionally, the customer service has been so rude and confrontational that it has completely changed my view of Apple and its customer focus. I am a disappointed and angry customer today - people would be surprised to hear just how rude customer service was including making statements such as "Apple doesnt make infallible products, that's why warranty is needed for our products" and that "every product undergoes a problem at some stage, so do ours!" There goes whatever confidence I had...
My concern is simple - if no one at Apple and / or its CS hotline is able to address my issue comprhensively and keep telling me that they have never encountered a precedent before, then with what right can they expect me to pay for a replacement?! I am NOT here to fund Apple's research into their product faults and manufacturing.
And even though a customer is out of warranty, is it too much to expect an Apple product to work well for at least a 'reasonable' period of time. My phone is less than 18 months old and has been facing this issue for the past 2 months - surely the longevity of Apple products is more than 18 months!
Just a sad sad day for an Apple customer, compounded by unjustifiably rude and aggressive staff. And still no resolution to my problem.

I am having the same issue - with my last 2 iPhone 4's. My first handset each time I was on a call wether it was up to my ear or on loud speaker, the call would automatically mute even though the mute button wouldn't show up as highlighted. Pressing the mute button on and off during the call doesn't fix it either. I rang Apple and asked what some of their trouble shooting solutions were. I got told that it might be a software issue and to install the latest software update. This failed. I then got told to uninstall the software on the phone and do a complete restore. This also failed. After trying the troubleshooting suggestions, I took the phone into my provider and they sent me out a new phone within a week under warranty claiming it was a hardware issue and probably just a "glitch" with that particular phone. This was not the case....
After receiving my second iPhone 4, I was hopeful that it would work. For the first couple of days, making/receiving calls was not an issue. Until after about a week, the same problem started again. In one instance I had to hang up and call back 4 times and the call would still automatically mute after about 5 seconds. Also on the second handset, the main camera located on the back of the phone has red and blue lines running through it and can't take a decent picture. So back to the store I go to get another replacement - Again.
For a phone that is rated highly and as a keen Apple product purchaser, I am a bit disappointed with the experience I have had with the iPhone 4. Let's hope they find a fix sometime soon because this is becoming a bit beyond a joke.....!!

Hi! My phone speaker is not working, so I cant hear people when they call me. I bought my iphone 4s on February 2013 at the Grand Central Apple Store. I would like to know if I can take it to an Apple Store in Spain so they can fix it or change it. Thanks

Hi! My phone speaker is not working, so I cant hear people when they call me. I bought my iphone 4s con February 2013 in the Grand Central (NYC - USA) Apple Store. I would like to know if I can take it to an Apple Store in Spain so they can fix it or change it. Or I need to find a way to take it to the US, where I bought it.
Thanks!!!

You will need to return the phone to the US. iPhone warranty is only good in the country of purchase, with the exception of the EU.

Still sounds like the mic to me. There are 2 on an iPhone 4 one on the top of the phone one under, each has a separate task. Sounds to me like your top mic is on the blink.

On the iPhone 5/5s, can you hear the other person properly when they are lying down?

When I use the iPhone 5s while lying down in bed, the other person is unable to hear me. When someone who is using the iPhone 5s is lying down in bed, I cannot hear them.
Is this a known issue? Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does anyone know what causes this issue? I actually used to have this same issue with the HTC One, and I was under the impression that it had to do with the accelerometer of smartphones. I do not know of any other difference between smart phones and normal phones.
It's rather annoying, such a basic feature of a PHONE product to be able to talk and hear clearly. Major fail, Apple. For this alone, I may consider switching to another phone.
I have found other comments from iPhone 5 users who have the same issue: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/11/29/iphone-5-review/
MICROPHONE
I don’t know if it’s because I have big hands or what, but there many times when people on the other end of the phone can’t understand a thing I’m saying. Specifically, any time I lay down flat on my back, the iPhone 5′s microphones seem to go especially bad. A few times, it’s gotten so bad that the people on the other end of the line hung up because they couldn’t deal with it.

Please Apple. Fix this significant bug/defect in your product in your next software update. I know this is a software issue probably related to the Accelerometer detecting that the phone is not upright and then turning off the receiver. Not sure why you would even want to do that.
It is ridiculous that the iPhone cannot perform the most BASIC function of voice calls. After all, that is what you buy the phone for... the texting, internet, applications are all bonus. Phones are used while lying down, upside down, lying on the side, etc. You are basically hurting yourself and your customer base with this significant design flaw. Think about all the couples talking to their significant others when they're lying in bed first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening they are long distance. Think about hospital patients who want to speak with their families. Think about the homeless on the streets with their iPhones lying down calling people to give them money (or not...).
Anyway, you get my point. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix it. I only recently changed from being an Android user to an iPhone user... this is seriously my biggest gripe with your product.

Cant hear monitor when using usb mic

hey all, question. when my usb mic is plugged in and armed for recording, i cant hear the previous track to keep my timing. the built in mic isnt that great so i like to use my external. its like when its plugged in it overrides all monitor functions. i just wanna be able to record a track while the previous one plays back. thanks guys for the help with an obvious newby.

Make sure you have the correct output selected in GB Prefs>Audio/MIDI. I assume you're using your computer speakers? If so select Built-In Output. Also make sure the recorded Track isn't muted and that the volume is up.

Cant hear audio when I scrub

How to hear audio when I scrub in project library. Cant hear any sound when I scrub. I do when it plays back I move9

Scrubbing or 'skimming' as Apple calls it is controlled by a button on the Toolbar in iMovie:
The button on the left hand side is an audio waveform with a red-line drawn through it. This indicates skimming is turned off. To turn it on you just click it and the skimming feature will return.

My iphone keeps cutting out when i ring people and people cant hear me when i speak what could it be?

when i ring people my iphone keeps cutting out, it connects but i can hear them talking but they cant hear me talking :s

Hey Ciara,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are having issues with others being able to hear you while on calls, the issue seems to be resolved by using speakerphone. This makes sense, as speakerphone utilizes a different microphone. I would advise you to take a look at the following articles:

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. The mic hole is the hole on the back by the camera lens.
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you se the VU meter needle move with sound
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
