Iphone 3GS, update to 3.1 went smooth with no issues. Received a call prior and worked fine. Phone call afterward, no one can hear me.

All other iphone/ipod sounds work as before. I can use Voice Commands and record a voice memo. I reset it several times, turned it on/off several times, restored to factory settings and restored latest backup, and even put in/removed the headset jack a couple dozed times.

I can receive phone calls, send receive email & text messages. Everything appears to work except for the mic during a phone call.

I give up, any ideas?

Check your BT, call forwarding, etc. :eek:

No Bluetooth devices and Bluetooth is turned off. Call forwarding is also off.

Bummer...

not sure if this will work since mic working for other apps, but every once in a while my old iphone's mic would not work after i pulled out the headphones from the jack. Something in the jack got stuck and it made the Iphone think the headphone was still in. To correct this i stuck the headphone in/out a couple of times. Good luck

I have experienced this as well. Same issue, same remedy.

+3 ^^^ If those other checks have been done, then headset plug-in/unplug....:confused:

No dice. Inserted/removed headphones about 15 times. Microphone on head phones does not even work during a phone call.

Just tried to downgrade to 3.0.1 and that failed to the restore process. It looks like I'm heading to the :apple: Store in the morning.:(

For what it's worth, Apple replaced the phone for free. The microphone was dead for calls (both with and without headphones) but worked for every other function. :)

That's a weird sounding problem!

Glad they took care of you :)

Apple sucks! Now my iPod touch cannot detect my S9 motorola bluetooth.
Make me worry to update my iPhone 3G to 3.1.
