Q10 earpiece not working

Has anyone else had a problem or issue with their earpiece on the Q10 not working at all. I can make phone calls but only on speaker phone, or through the headphone jack. Phone hasn't been put in water or anything else, just stopped working one day last week.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. If this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Good luck!

IPhone 6 Plus mic/earpiec not working.

A tiny drop of water went down into my earpiece 2 weeks ago and i kept sucking out the water and i left it over night in a bag of rice. The next day the earpiece was working perfectly fine but the mic for the front facing camera, facetime, siri and voice dictation is not working. Every time i try to take a video using the front facing camera all what i hear is a muffling sound. Is this an earpiece issue? Should i change the earpiece? IS there a mic inside the earpiece?

I have always used the iPhone's LED flashing alert to notify me when I get a call or text message. While I was on iOS 8 Beta 2-4 it was working fine. I did a clean install of the complete iOS 8 release and ever since then, the flash alert doesn't work.
Sometimes it will work on incoming calls, but will not work on text messages. I've tried soft/hard rebooting, clean wipe and fresh installs, and pretty much anything in between. Now, today I got my 128GB Gold ATT iPhone 6 Plus, and it's the same thing. Updated to iOS 8.1, reset everything/deleted all contents and settings. Both fresh install, and iCloud backups and still no alerts on text messages, but now I get them on calls. I tried my girls ATT 128GB iPhone 6 and she has the same problem too. My old phone was a 64GB iPhone 5S and hers was a 32GB iPhone 5. Everything was good until the official release of iOS 8.
I've tried searching for related issues, and haven't found anything since 2011 with a quick Google search. Most links just tell you how to turn the flash alert on but no new issues. All of my devices are on iOS 8.1. I gave my father my 64GB 5S with a clean install and he still has the issue as well. So, that makes my iPhone 6 Plus, my girls iPhone 6 and my fathers iPhone 5S not flashing LED on messages and sometimes calls. There aren't any custom vibrations enabled on any if the devices. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it a known bug or am I just not doing something right here? i never had an issue before the iOS 8 release. Any help would be appreciated.
Are you a developer? IF so try asking in the developer forum.

Earpiece not working properly in n82

I have a black n82 which i have been using for last 5 months. Recently i have noticed that the earpiece is not working properly whenever i get a call or make a call it becomes mute for a minute or two and automatically starts working . Though everything is fine when i use headphones or the side speakers. I have tried blowing air in the earpiece bt in vain. last month i had updated the firmware and looks like this problem has occured after that only so not sure whether its hardware related or s/w related.
Any suggestions ??

Hi, I have exactly same problem also so can any body help me plz, i dont like any set than n82, plz send me solution on my email

Pre Earpiece Not Working after 1.3.1 update (not headset related)

Right after I updated to Web OS 1.3.1 my Earpiece stopped working, and this is not related to the headset issue that many people have had problems with. While making calls I cannot hear anything unless I use speakerphone. The phone is working fine other than the earpiece not outputting any sound.
This is NOT a problem with the phone thinking a headset jack is plugged in (believe me, I've had that problem too) as the phone Icon is shown (and not the headset ICON - when that had been a problem) when making calls.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?
Thanks!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I was having the same problem. I read this post: http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=webossoftware&message.id=11306&query.id=132362#M1..., took a "Safeway Cotton Swab", cut it in half, jammed the non-cotton end down the headset plug, moved it around for about five seconds, took it out, and was back in business.
It is a weird coincidence that I didn't start having the problem until after downloading the 1.3.1 update. But the low-tech Q-tip method solved the problem for me.
Hope this helps ...

Iphone 5s receiver /earpiece not working

My iPhone 5s' earpiece receiver is not working. :( i even tried troubleshooting provided by other threads but still no luck. :(
Does any of you having the same issue?

Hey RoviMat,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with the receiver on your iPhone 5s, and that you have already attempted some troubleshooting steps. I wanted to provide the following resource to you in case any steps were missed, and if not, so you can follow the last step to contact Apple for support and service options.
iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
1. Increase the volume during the call.
2. Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
3. Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
4. Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
5. Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
6. If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or a car kit, try turning off Bluetooth on your device. Learn more about troubleshooting Bluetooth connections.
7. Restart the iPhone.
8. Make sure your device is up to date.
9. If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, contact Apple Support.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Headphone (left earpiece) not working!

I was using my headphones, they worked perfectly. Now no sound plays through the left earpiece. They are good headphones, they work in my iPod. Any ideas? I have tried reseting, powering down...

tber52,
Have you tried testing a different pair of headphones with the iPhone? If so, did the left earpiece work? If the left earpiece is still not working on a different set of headphones, there may be a problem with the audio jack on the iPhone. You can set up an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple Retail Store to have your iPhone evaluated, or you can call AppleCare at 1-800-MY-IPHONE.
To set up an appointment your local Genius Bar, go here:

BB Q10 microphone not working

Hi.. I just bought BB Q10 on 5th June 2013. Now after enjoying using it suddently few problems happen amd the most crucial problem is the microphone not working. Now i can talk on the phone by using loud speaker and handsfree kit only. The microphong for the handheld unit totally not functioning. Can anyone here help... Thanks

Q10 headphones not working

Hi, my headphones are not working on my Q10. I've tried different ones and they all don't work. Any advice?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Q10 headphone jacks are touchy, but then again i think all headphone jacks must be because of the constraints of rca style plug design. Number 1, when ppl first try the new line of 10 phones, the jacks do have to inserted quite forcebly by comparison to other less fitted designs. They do require quite a deep and hard snap-in. I doubt very much that you can physically (within reason) push the jack in too hard. Commonly, this will fix newcomers to the q10 and headphone woes. 2nd, over time, the recessed the recepticle sheerly by the fact that it is a "hole" can accumulate lint, dirt, "crud" of any sort. It takes surprisingly little of this to interfere or interrupt electrical current. All headphone jacks behave this way. In my own circumstance over the years with many phones, pocket lint has played havoc with many charging pins.
So, I too had a headphone jack issue. I hesitated to do a factory reset. I didn't want to loose APPS that i had paid for, music, contacts etc etc and go through the rigors of a restore that may or may not resolve the issue. The soln in my case was the simple one. Poor contacts "dirty" within the jack receptacle. In a perfect world there would be a little pipe cleaner of a appropriate diameter to reem in and out. In my case, i twisted a a plastic wire tie, pushed it all the way down, then rotated a few times and presto HEADPHONES work. I suspect the procedure will need to be repeated again in future.There probably should be a rubber dust-cap to remove when headphone is in use.

Iphone 3G 2.2 earpiece not working HELP PLEASE

Hi, suddenly my iphone earpiece it´s not giving me sound. When I recieve a call people can hear, but I can´t. Also with the voicemail, I have to use the head phones, or the bluetooh. The only way to speak in a conversation with out the head phones it´s to use it in speaker mode. I have tried everything, plug and unplugged many times the headphones (it recognize the it doesn´t have it because when I put it out it says ringer and no headphones ringer in the iphone when I change the volume). The ipod part is working correctly, when I recieve a call or make a call, it stops. The mic is working fine.
Can somebody help me to find where can be the problem? I already reset it, two times, try the plug and unplugged thing, clean the jack trail

No, I restore the phone to factory setting already, I didn´t make the back up, I put as a new iphone, and try to use it with no extra apps, and still not working, how does this part can get damage and everything still working correctly?, I still using it as a phone with the headphones when I not alone and with the speaker when nobody is around, I don´t have an apple store near me, so I have to send it to them by mail, so, I want to do everything I can before to do that.

Brand new iPhone 4 earpiece not working

Hi all,
I bought a fully unlocked iPhone 4 a few days back, I din't have a micro sim so I waited till today to activate the phone, I was checking the phone and found that earpiece is not working, I mean, I'm not able to hear anything on call, Calls through speaker phone is working and calls through earphones are also working, but the earpiece doesn't work, My phone is under warranty but the nearest Apple service center is 5hrs away from my place, just wanted to know if it's a software glitch or hardware problem.

If the device is in fact new, it is highly unlikely that it is running iOS 4.3.1.
Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.
Upgrading to the current version of iOS would also be a good thing to try.
If none of that resolves the issue, then it is hardware related.
Either return to the place of purchase for exchange (since you should still be within the return/exchange period) or take it to Apple.

Q10 - Contacts not working properly

I just received a Q10 five days ago. It is a corporate activation on BES10. All my Outlook Exchange info has sync'd with the phone (e-mail, contacts, calendar) and, for the most part, the phone works well.
However, when I am in the phone application the Contacts list is empty. If I want call a contact, I have to go to the Contacts application and make the call from there. Also, Caller ID comes up with the number only, not the person's name in the Contacts list. It pretty clear that the Phone App and the Contacts App are not talking to each other.
WhatsApp is also not working properly. Contacts list is blank and I can't start a new chat, even from the Contacts App.
This problem is not unique to me as I have read about quite a few cases of the same on other threads and boards.
Is BlackBerry aware of and working on this problem?

Now I just discovered my Q10 does not support Telenav. I have used Telenav on my last two Bberrys all over Europe + America and am now feeling betrayed. Anyone have a suggestion?

Q10 microphone not working hands free

Greetings,
I just noticed that my microphone will not work if I want to call hands free or use Skype with video on.
I just updated to 10.02 but I don't know if the problem is due to the upgrade or if it a hardware issue as I did not try using hands free before the system upgrade.
Please help as I need to use hands free when driving and using Skype.
Thanks,
Michel

Upgraded and Q10 does not work

I just upgraded my Q10. When prompted to restart the phone, I hit yes. Took about 1/2 hour to access the screen but i had no functioning Hub nor did the phone work. The two strengths of the BB. I took the battery out as the phone was getting hot! Now I only have the purple BB logo. Help!

Help is here Joyness! Let's get to the bottom of your equipment concerns. I verified this is not a known issue after updating your device. Is there any physical or water damage to your phone? Have you tried removing the battery then reinserting it back to the phone?
Thank You,
