Speaker phone

Why is that my Iphone4 speaker is not working?  makes the person on other end NOT able to hear me. it mutes me but i can hear them.

Hello JackieC1967,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post it sounds like you're having issues with your microphone, not the speaker, since you are able to hear but not be heard.  To troubleshoot your microphone please follow the steps in the article below:

Take care,

  • In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice.

    In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice. I wished for a software fix. I did a hard reset, nothing. I did a full restore to factory settings not putting my backup on and the problem persisted.

    I did every step in the link that i have been provided with (thank you), but I’m
    still experiencing the same issue. My experience with Apple has been
    excellent and this has been the first time I have experienced something
    like this with an Apple product. I hope we can find a quick solution.
    In order to get the iPhone 5 as soon as it launched (being a major fan of
    Apple products!), I purchased my iPhone 5 from the UK through a friend of
    mine who lives there.
    My question is: can I have the faulty device replaced within Saudi by one
    of the official resellers here (we have 3: STC, Mobily and Zain)? I want to
    avoid the disruption, complication and expense of sending it back to the
    UK.
    Could you advise whether this is possible or not, and if not how should I
    go about having the device replaced?
    Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

    Nice try! Take a hike.

  • The Speaker phone option on my iPhone 4s is no longer working! Help!!

    The Speaker phone option on my iPhone 4s is no longer working.  Whenever I press the speakerphone button I can no longer hear anything and can not get back to the call.  I then must end the call in order to hear anything again.  Its not the actual fault of the speaker either because I can still play music and hear it ring. It has always worked before and my phone is up to date. It seems to be the only thing that just randomly stopped working, and I use the speakphone option a lot.  Help me please!!
    Cheers!

  • My speaker phone is not working on my iPhone 4

    The speaker phone on my iPhone 4S just stopped work.  I am not able to listen to music except when using my headphones. I have tried putting my headphone jack in and out of my phone, resetting the phone and using canned air in the jack. Nothing seems to work

  • HT4623 My Iphone 5 is experiencing terrible speaker issues - the speakers are busted I do believe.  I had a software update on Saturday May 11 - which said it was for the speaker phone, but to no avail... I still cannot use my speaker phone.

    I am so disgusted with the new Iphone 5 and the speaker quality.  I was using the speaker phone a few days ago, and it started to sound like I had poor signal and poor reception.  I later discovered, it was the speaker itself.  It has apparently burst. 
    I then got a notice of a software update specifically for the speaker phone - on Saturday, May 11, 2013.  I downloaded the update, and it is still terrible.  I cannot use the speaker phone nor use the speakers in any capacity. 
    To have paid this much for such a wonderfully technical piece of equipment - to find it cannot perform the simplest task of delivering quality speaker tones.  It is inaudible. 
    I am not going to purchase another Iphone.  Sadly, I have been an avid IPhone user since they first came out, and have always purchased the newest version.  The Iphone 5 will be my last IPhone. 
    My daughter has the Galaxy 4S, and I am very impressed. 
    Sorry Apple, you have dropped the ball.  A phone this advanced should be able to have the simplest of features work properly... any cell phone has good speaker phone capabilities...except for the Iphone 5.

    This is a user to user help forum only so doubtful if anyone here is going to lose any sleep.
    If you think android devices never have a hardware problem or failure, you are delusional.
    Be sure to purchase an run antivirus on those android devices since you will need it. Android is the mobile equivalent of Windows in regards to security or severe lack thereof.

  • IPhone does not receive audio input while recording videos & Speaker Phone

    Its like my Microphone doesn't work with Videos and Speaker phone...its getting really annoying it works fine in Voice Memos and Voice calls (Without SP)
    Videos sound nothing but statis
    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Make sure the mic isn't ubstructed when taking videos. I know thats seems like duh thing but your mic is on the bottom left of the device with the screen facing you. A lot of times  people don't relize they are doing it.

  • Iphone 5: Audio, the only way i can hear people on my phone is if i have the speaker phone on or headset, what gives?

    I've only had this iphone 5 for a few months, i was able to talk to people perfectly fine but now for some reason, i have to put them on speaker phone or use my headset to hear them, if i don't have them on either, i can't hear anything they are saying. anyone know what causes this?

    I think you have a pretty good mastery of the internet to be able to figure that out.

  • Speaker Phone Issues!!!

    Has anyone else  had problems switching between normal talk mode and speaker phone mode with thier iphone?
    When I switch to speaker phone, say to look something up on my phone while still communcating with the person on the other side we can communicate just fine, then when I want to switch back to normal talk mode they can no longer hear me. I can still hear them them even if I try switching back to speaker phone, the other person can be heard loud and clear, but they will no longer be able to hear me no matter what I do.
    I'm not sure if it is a phone issue or iOS issue. I had problems with my iPhone 4 and now again with my iPhone 4S. I am hopeing other people have had this problem and can give me a few hints as to solving it. Even if that means taking it in for an exchange, I dont really care, I would just like it to work. I set up an appointment for support but have yet to talk with anyone. I hope someone can help.
    Thank you.

        Hi kat2653. Let's get your husband's phone working properly! When your husband is holding the phone up to his ear, is the screen not going blank? There's a great proximity sensor on the iPhone that should take care of the phone's screen sensitivity while on a call, because it makes the screen untouchable while it's blank. If that's not working, there may be something partially blocking it, like a case or screen protector.
    There's also been some wonderful enhancements to all the iPhones with the new iOS 6 updates. Please use the steps from Apple at  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414 to make sure you're iPhone has been updated to Version 6.0.1 (10A523). You can also double check if this is the version you already have by going to Settings>General>About on the iPhone.
    Thank you

  • I can hear caller but he can't hear me except on hands free and speaker phone

    Hi Shirley,
    Long shot, but...
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

  • Using iMac as speaker phone for docked iphone

    Maybe I am missing something "fundamental"... But if my iphone (3G) is docked with my iMac, can I use the iMac as a "speaker phone"? Any additional applications that do this? It would be nice to use the headset that I already have connected to my iMac. Bonus points: muting iTunes during calls.

    Oh, whoops! Sorry! I misread your original post, and I thought you were asking about "speaker" (for music), not "speaker phone" (for phone calls)

  • Must touch speaker phone to be able to use ipone

    Hello all,
    My wifes' iphone 4S is driving her crazy.  She uses it as a phone with no headsets, nor bluetooth.  When she answers a call, she cannot hear the calling party until after she hits the speaker phone button.  People cannot hear her answer either.  But when she touches speaker phone all reverts to normal operation.
    Any ideas of how to fix this? Tia, ron7624

    See if this sheds any light on your issue...

    Also, have you tried a Reset... you will not lose any data or settings and has been known to cure many ills...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Accessing the "speaker phone" during a call.

    Once I am in a call, how do I activate the speaker phone? While on the call, the "keypad" shows, but there seems to be no way to turn on the speaker phone. The only time I can put my call on the speaker is before I connect with the party I am calling. Many a time in the past few days, especially while "on hold" it would have been easier to lay the phone down and turn the speaker on. I can't do that once in the call.

    Phil:
    You show two screens. Let's call them the "black" screen and the "white" screen.
    When I go into "contacts" and I select a person I want to call in my contact list, and I use the little phone icon in the contact list to initiate the call, then the black screen shows up and stays active, and I can go to "speaker phone" by touching the speaker icon during the call if I want.
    However, if I make a call for a person or business I want to call, using the phone number I found on their business card or their website, (they are not in my contact list) and I use the large green phone icon of the phone app to start the call, I get the white screen, and then,if I want to switch to the speaker phone, I can't get there. There seems to be no way to get back to the black screens once a phone call is started.
    Also, thank you all others for responding to my issue.

  • Speaker phone automatically turned on whenever I answer a call?

    Dear community,
    Whenever I answer a call, its speaker phone is automatically turned on. How can I turn this feature off? It seems to be a software issue, because when the I got my iPhone 4S brand new, it didn't have the problem. After restoring from my iPhone 4S, the problem I already had recurred on the iPhone 4S as well. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
