Hey guys, my iPhone 4 earpiece is not working. I've tried plugging and unplugging the headphones, and I also did a complete restore. It's just the earpiece because I can hear the calls through the speaker phone and it works with my headphones and mic. Please help!
 
Actually just picked up my iphone 4s (verizon) today. When dialing out, call connects, but I can't hear anything half the time. In fact, sometimes I have to redial, or i activate/deactive speakerphone.

Annoying, was hoping I wasn't the only one.
 
Exact same problem

My iPhone 4 is doing the same thing. It's done it before and I was able to revive it by plugging in and removing the earphones repeatedly. This didn't work this time around (plus I don't like loosening up the connector doing it.) I'm taking the phone to the Apple store today.
 
Case cover?

I tried to plug mine in when i first got it, and heard only out of one speaker.The protective case cover was not letting the input go all the way in. Matter of fact i had to cut the hole out bigger for easy access. Your's probably isn't that, but i thought it was worth a try.

Is there any water damage done to the phone? Is it under warranty still? If under warranty, backup phone and take it to the apple store. If you are still under warranty, after they do the diagnostics or look at it, they will swap it out.

Just tell them you have tried to remedy the problem and it is intermittent.
 
iphone 4 earpiece not working

Just found a fix that worked.

While making a test call to my voice mail I switched my ring/silent switch to "silent". Then I switched it back again to "ring".
The phone now works perfectly having the ring/silent switch in either position.
I can here now the other party loud and clear.
