Phone has to be on speaker to talk
when i answer my phone, u can't hear me unless i put it on speaker phone. i can hear u
This happened to my old iPhone 4, I took it into Apple who did a bit of playing around with it. There are two things that could be wrong with it (what they are exactly I can't remember - one can easily be resolved at an Apple Genius bar and the other requires you to get a brand new phone. Hopefully it's the former, but definitely best to let Apple have a look. Mine unfortunately happened just out of warranty and would have cost approx £150 to fix.

Phone mutes or goes to speaker while talking on phone.
While on a call the phone will either mute or go to speaker while talking. I believe my ear or face touches the screen.
If you don't have a case or screen cover that might be interfering, it may be a defective proximity sensor on your phone. It is not a problem on all 5S iPhones. Apple sold 34 million iPhones in the 4th quarter of last year alone and a few had a problem. When you look at message boards like this, mostly all you see are problems. My 5S doesn't. The phone is covered under warranty -- I would contact Apple.

My iPhone only has "headphone" volume, no "speaker" volume.How do I fix this so I can hear phone calls?
The phone may be stuck in headset mode. Rapidly plug and unplug a headset 10x to free up the switch inside the jack.

After I have been talking on my iPhone 6 for awhile and then want to go to speaker phone, I cannot find the speaker icon. Any help?
Here's the situation. I received a text while I was talking on the phone. Went right to text, then could not get back to the screen. After trial and error, I discovered a little green message at the top of the phone that said "Touch to return to call". Problem solved.

My iphone 4 has become extremely sensitive i cant talk on the phone without putting calls on hold, mute or hanging up!! when i'm in a call it's like the screen has become super sensitive to touch! I tried putting on a screen protecter but this didnt work please help?
While on a call, the iPhone display should go black when lifted to your ear. Is this not happening or only happening intermittently?
Have you tried making calls without your silicone case on? Does this make any difference?
You could try updating or restoring the software to try to rule that out as a cause. If the issue remains after restoring then the issue is probably hardware related and may need to be serviced. -
Question about the sensor... just got my 4s yesterday after screwing up my 3 with the laterd version update. EVery call I have been on has either changed to speaker, called another number or ended the call or activated facetime, which I have turned off. never had this trouble with my 3...I don't even want to talk to anyone on this phone! Is the sensor bad? That is what the AT&t rep suggested.
Restore as new... if the problem still continues then there is a hardware issue.
If it stops after a restore as new, then the issue is with the backup the device is currently setup with. -
After updating to 6.1.3 my phone has no sound, no ringtone, no keytone, after updating to 6.1.3 my phone has no sound, no ringtone, no keytone. How can I fix this?
This happened to me too, so I took it to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store. They said it was coincedental and the speaker needed to be replaced. They did so and the problem was solved!

I have to use the Keypad a lot when making calls. Make the call, the Robot then asks to enter a number for a service, pull the phone down from the ear, the screen may light up for a second, but then the screen saver cuts in, blanking the screen out. Sometimes you hit the Home Key to awaken the sccreen, enter your number and then back to the ear to hear the next set of instructions. Back and forth just trying to enter the options is a pain. Sometimes even trying to end the call, the screen blanks out and you fight to try and end a call.
If I use the Speaker function the keypad works; the speakler phone is not alway appropriate.
It appears that the phone gyro, doesn't detect the phone has moved from the ear to the viewing angle. This wasn't an issue until recently and I can't remeber if it's the iPhone 5 or one of the updates. It definitly wasn't there earlier on, as I threw away an Windows 6.5 phone for the same problem.
I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software (design) issue.It is not the gyro. This has everything to do with the iPhone's prioximity sensor.
Are you using a case that may be blocking or partially blocking the proximity sensor? If you are using the case, remove the case prior to the next call to see if the same occurs without the case. -
"Please wait until your phone has been activated"
I got a refurbished phone from Asurion and it took a while to activate originally. I was able to connect to wifi, add a google account, start updating some apps. I restarted the phone and now its stuck on "Please wait until your phone has been activated" I used the sim card that was included with the phone from the larger red card. Is there any way to reset it or activate it now?
Snn5 speaks the truth, your sim will need to be activated. If you are the kind of person who prefers to do things on your own, though, there is one more option. If you've already created a myVerizon account, sign in to that, and there will be a box around the top middle that will ask you what it is that you want to do. In this box, type "activate or switch device" and it will lead you through the process.

My I phone has plenty of storage but will not download any apps free or paid for when I press install the installation symbol appears briefly and then the page reverts to the original form with the price or free on the right hand side.
Call 1-800-275-2273...ask to talk to "Customer Relations"...no one else.
Good luck. -

Im expecting poss having to get a new phone
And LOSE ALL I HAD ON IT
THIS IS SO NOT RIGHT AT ALL FOR ANY1
Who has bought i phones etc
As they ciat enough when u do
You seriously do not expect this many probs
Even if they are teething probs with the latest softwareWell the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck -
What a long way the cell phone has come
after reading a few of the topics and issues, and believe me i've had my issues as well. i think we should take a few minutes to realize how far the cell phone has come. i know i should be one to talk, i've put in a few comments myself. however sitting here playing with the new toy, i remember when all cell phones did was send and receive calls. now with the iphone we could do so many things that we asked. so with that being said, yes there are a few details that need to be worked on...but while we sit impatiently till then we should all remember how much the cell phone has progressed.
Hea hea!
Shoot man, in 1992 I paid $400 bucks for a huge brick that worked "sometimes" and .40/minute no matter when I made a call.
To complain about the iPhone is just silly.
