Why can caller hear me when i use and ear bud

Why can't caller hear me when I use an ear bud. I am using the same ear bud that I used with the Cosmos touch. The Cosmos 3 that I just received worked for awhile with the ear bud but not it's now. Any suggestions? I'm seriously thinking about going back to my Cosmos Touch, I'm not like this 3. The only thing I like about it is the keyboard.
Thank You

clb19,
We definitely want you to enjoy the new phone as well and it's imperative to get the earbuds working with the phone. Have you tried a different set of earbuds? It it one ear bud specifically? Other than this, do all other sound options work? Is there any damage to the phone?

A can only hear volume when i use the headphones: no ringtones, no music, nothing without the headset. what did i do? it's a 48 hour old phone

I have done something to my volume. there is no sound unless i use headphones. I must have done something when using suri, but i don't know what. i have turned the phone on and off with no change. please help. the volume is up, and the slider for mute is not on.

I had a similar problem, I could only hear Siri when I was using headphones. Without headphones, I would call up Siri and I wouldn’t hear that “ding” nor would she audibly speak back her answer.
I found out that Siri has its own volume control. To access it, activate Siri and when the Siri microphone pops up, go ahead and adjust the Siri volume using the volume controls. I had my regular volume up pretty high but I had the Siri volume all the way down. This was driving me crazy, now it works fine.

Why can I hear text tone while talking and not a pause like Iphone 4s?

Hi,
I have my phone 6 text tone set to a song. Well, I was talking to my aunt and I received a text message but I could hear the ring tone in my ear. I have never had that problem with Iphone 4s. It was basically a general pause to tell me I had an incoming text. Anyone else having this problem? Please help. If I can figure this out I am taking the phone back.

You can turn off sending pictures messages except as iMessages by going to Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging and setting it to "Off".

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.....!!

I can hear the caller, but they cannot hear me when I use the speaker function on my iPhone4. Are there any fixes?

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

How do I hear Garageband in multitask? I am playing guitar in GB using Apogee Jam. Would like to read lyrics in Safari while hearing guitar in background. But I can only hear GB when it is the active program. Sound stops if I switch to another app.

ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.

On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

People can't hear me when on a call. Speaker phone works

People can't hear me when on a phone call. I have to use speaker or earplugs. I've tried suggestion with head phone and checked all volume levels. Now people tell me l sound like I'm in a tunnel or can't hear me at all. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hey az786,
Thanks for the question. Great troubleshooting! It sounds like you have completely isolated the issue, the following article outlines the next step:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
10. If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
11. If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Thanks,

I have the same problem!! It lead to many other problems with my phone
I just arranged a repair with apple. Yes its inconvenient to be without a phone for a while but if your phone is in warranty its good to get it looked at professionally!

Just uploaded IOS 8 and now can't hear anyone when making a call. If put speaker on then I can hear! Any advice?

Can anyone answer why photoshop CS3 shuts down when I use the scanner?

Can anyone help me with why photoshop CS3 shuts down when I use the scanner? I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite.

Ask in the PS forum and be much more specific. You have not provided exact system information, crash logs, scanner details. That said, this may be a compatibility issue that can't be overcome.

Hi Nfrith1,
Please take a look at the article referenced below, the same as in my original reply. The receiver on the iPhone does not have anything to do with the speakers on the bottom of the phone nor your microphone.
Clear the receiver
The iPhone receiver won't work properly if it's blocked or dirty. Here's where the receiver is:
Follow these steps, testing after each:
Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver, such as a case or film.
If you have a new iPhone, remove the plastic film on the front and back of the device.
Check the receiver opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the receiver opening with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
While you're on a call, turn on speakerphone. If you still can't hear, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try calling again later or from a different location.
Restart and update
Restart your iPhone and test again.
If there's still no sound or poor sound quality, update to the latest version of iOS.
Get more help
If you've tried these steps and there's still no sound or poor sound quality from your iPhone, contact Apple Support.
Learn what to do if other people can't hear you on a call.
If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone
Take care,

My sister can see and hear me when we use FaceTime but my screen is just black...help

Restore the device to factory settings and add your content, then try again.
If no change, then something maybe wrong with the iSight camera at the front, so make an appointment with someone at the Genius bare at your local Apple retail store.

I bought an iPhone from mobile and I can't hear people when they call me unless their on speaker do I have warranty for that

My X61 can't connect wireless when i use battery!!!

TYPE NO.: 7673-AN6
i confused why it can not connect wireless when i use battery?!
the problem drive me crazy nearly, it means i must take adapter every time
i help every one can help me!
cheers,

Most of the functionality and problems are in the drivers. The hardware tends to be discrete testable functions though these days there is a fair bit of functionality in the hardware. The hardware tends to be implementing better defined protocols where as the to and fro of the higher level protocols tend to be what varies from Access Point to Access Point. The 4965AGN is a fairly recent chip set and the drivers are far from smoothly running.
The problems can vary from AP to AP so may work at home but not at work etc. Some have reported here that the 4965AGN setup doesn't work with the Cisco 1200 Access Point and I have yet to be able to get it to work under Vista with the equipment at any New York Starbucks. T-mobile do use Cisco equipment but I don't know which models.
Anything you can do to simplify the situation helps. Maximum power. No security. Disable IPv6 on the connection etc. Just to give a rough idea of the kind of thing that might be wrong here are some of the things listed as known issues or fixed according to the readme of the driver (Originating from Intel) that was released for the 4965AGN on 4/11/08.
There are several authentication issues with EAP, PEAP and LEAP which will cause it not to authenticate. There are also Vista EAP issues and some things which may resolve with SP1 which was pushed out on update last week. So there are many comnbinations of situations which may not work and it is important to test with different access points. Authentication and security has more issues. Also at the higher speeds such as 54Mb some of the security mechanisms will not be able to keep up. AES is the only mechanism which Intel expects to work at 54Mb.
http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15806/ENG/relnotes.htm
There have also been past issues where the cards are silenced for twenty minutes after a failure to authenticate and in many cases the card will not be in a valid state after hibernation. It is noticable that when you phone T-mobile the first thing the tech has you do is completely shut the machine down - not hibernate - and begin afresh.
Once you have uninstalled and re-installed the drivers and connection manager a few times it is also possible to be having problems with junk left in the registry.
I don't recommend adding the 4965 drivers directly from the Intel site. I would wait for the one that has come through the Lenovo testing cycle.
In reality for those who don't want to make maintaining their laptop a serious hobby (Hopefully all of us - Far too much time is wasted on wireless) it is really a matter of rebooting your machine at a given access point. Trying your luck and then shutting it down and going somewhere else if it doesn't work. Use wires when you can. At home if your access point doesn't work check your configuratiions, temporarily remove all security, restore factory settings on the AP, reinstall from scratch and if it still doesn't work replace it with a different brand of Access Point.
Of course it is intended to just work and for 95+% of situations Wi-Fi does. The 4965AGN is newer so it has its fair share of early life issues to get resolved. Vista also still has issues. If the problem you are seeing is only when you are on batteries you are lucky and LANOgre's instructions may well solve it.
