Why is the mic not working working on speaker mode, even though siri and voice memos are working?

I bought my iphone 4s from canada about less than a month ago. It worked perfectly fine, until i recently discovered that the mic on speaker mode stopped working. That means, when i speak to someone on speaker  during a call, they are unable to hear me.However Siri and voice memos are working fine.  I could initially face-time but now i cant. I have also tried restoring my iphone a few times.
As i am based out of india, I contacted apple in India, they refused to touch the phone as it was purchased in Canada and the warranty is apparently applicable only in the country of purchase. I can in no way go back to canada to get the phone replaced. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can resolve this? Shouldnt apple be able to get this sorted since its a brand new phone under warranty?

  • Why does the mic not work in the phone app?

    The microphone has stopped working on my phone. However this only occurs during the use of the phone. The mic works fine for voice memo. Anybody have a solution for this? The apple store could not help.

    Did you do any of the basic troubleshooting steps, as needed, described in the User Guide?
    Restart phone
    Reset phone
    Restore in iTunes using a backup
    Restore as a new phone, without using a backup

  • Downloaded Firefox yesterday. Every time I open the Firefox browser, it starts in Safe Mode even though I have shut down and restarted my computer several times

    I have Windows OS. I downloaded Firefox yesterday. Every time I open the Firefox browser, it starts in safe mode. I have restarted my machine several times -- Firefox still starts in Safe Mode. My favorites from IE copied to Firefox fine, and Firefox is now my default browser...it just keeps opening in Safe Mode.

    I downloaded the toolbar. When I was done using the computer, I put it to "sleep." The next time I "woke" the computer and went to Firefox, the toolbar was gone. When I downloaded the toolbar again, I got a box in the upper left hand corner of the screen stating Firefox BLOCKED the toolbar, and did I want to allow it. There was NO option to allow always-it's just a one time deal. When I shut down for the day, I expected it to remain, but no-next time I fired up firefox, NO TOOLBAR. I pulled up Inbox dollars again, clicked on download toolbar, got the box stating it's blocking the toolbar, etc, etc, etc. Unless Firefox upgrades daily, or in some cases, several times in one day, I'm going to stick with my description that the toolbar magically disappears EVERY TIME I OPEN
    FIREFOX!!!
    I don't profess to be any type of computer whiz, I'm totally self-taught, and it's not beyond the realm of possibility that I'm doing something wrong. I've been using Firefox for about a week, so I'd welcome any help!

  • HT4859 When I tried to restore my new iPhone all I got was my contacts, all of my images and voice memos are gone.  I was backing up via wi-fi at home to the iCloud.  How can I retrieve the images and voice memos?

    The voice memos, in particular, are important as they contain several conversations I had with my, now decieced, grandmother.  I was under the mistaken impression that everything was being backed up nightly when I was connected to wi-fi at home and plugged in to a charger.

    You could try restoring the backup again.  Sometimes people have more success the second time.

  • Why is the image not as sharp in library mode then it is in develop mode?

    and the image i email reflects the library image/version (less sharp) not the develop mode image/version.

    I just open my MBP before plugging up the TB display.  Then after the TB comes on, I close the MBP back into clamshell mode.  Works better for me that way. 
    Does that work for you as well?

  • TS3276 Mail screen is stuck on draft screen the past 4 days. Safari and all others are working. But when I click on mail, it shows the draft screen. This is the last thing I was working on. I was able to send my mail then. Then the screen just stuck on th

    What to do if the screen is stuck on the draft screen? I was writing a mail, saved it as draft, then later, was able to send it. However, the screen did not revert to the inbox page. The draft page seems to be hung or stucked. Safari and all others are working ok though.

    I sent the draft to myself several times. That did not seem to be working, but when I opened Mail this morning, it has been sent all of the times and the Mail screen is no longer frozen.

    Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
    Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
    Make sure SD DVD is selected:
    (If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
    Build your DVD and you'll be fine.
    Patrick
    P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

  • I had to restore my computer. After reinstalling itunes and sincronizing with my ipod, the music files were not organized in itunes as in the ipod: some songs were missing, some albums has no cover? Why is the sincronization not working properly?

    In the drop down, select Library.
    Open the Library folder and scroll down to Preferences.
    In that folder, there is a file called com.skype.skype.plist. Trash that file.

    why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 for is  turned  off works fine when on most other phones work when off

    The only phone I've ever had that would turn on and sound the alarm is a Blackberry. So, I'd hardly say "most phones" have this function.

    why can the microphone not be working when I speak normally and be working when I use the speakerphone?
    anyone has had the same problem? Thank you!!!

    Apple confirmed, it is an iphone 4S feature, that is intended for our 'benefit'.  It is being solved by each of us using headphones to over-ride the muting function.

    I frequently get the messages "windows couldn't sign you out" (I am signed out) ,"not connected to in the internet" with prompts to sign in again (I don't) and "you're currently working offline", with a prompt to connect to my own locked wireless. None of these statements are true and I ignore the prompts (although my husband did re-sign on to our router once). I find that if I unplug the phone line and then plug it in again, it works. Strange. Is someone trying to get my password?
