When I call, the receiver of my call can not hear me, unless the speaker is on. Reinstalled IOS7 new, and it would not make a difference, Any ideas, suggestions? it doesn't sound logic to me, since the speakerphone still works...

Thanks in advance,

Thanks. It is turned off (not green). what does TTY mean? I have my phone factory reset, so everything is 'clean'...

Thanks again
 
Oh, thanks.

I posted the same question on the Apple support forum, and a person suggested, it may be the lower mic at fault, since the speaker phone does use the upper mic, close to the earphone.

Thanks for your help!

So, which iPhone do you have?

The only other way the speaker gets turned off is the earphone jack but that would create other symtoms you don't have.
 
4S. Now you gave me an idea, I will try to put the earplugs in and see if it does anything.

Well, it didn't do anything...

Thanks for your input!

No problem but just FYI there is only the one mike on the 4S and it is at the bottom.

There is the mute button but it is electronic and by default is off.

You might make a call and toggle the mute switch a few times to see if that does anything for you.
 
Well, while playing around, I realized that there is a mic, next to the ear bud jack, that works with the speakerphone. Any way, will see, if I can get it fixed, without buying a new one...

same problem here

Sorry to reload an old thread, but I'm having the exact same problem. I have an iPhone 5, and now my Phone app is having the same problems. iOS 7.1.1, 64GB model.

If I answer an incoming call, I can't hear the caller, and they can't hear me. There is zero sound in/out of this phone through the mic/speakers. However, switching the call to speakerphone works normally. Also if I plug in headphones, it works.

All other audio apps work fine though (recording apps, music, etc), so it's not (or doesn't seem to be) a hardware problem.

Thanks for any ideas. This is a replacement iPhone 5 I got in Sept 2013, because my first iPhone 5 had the "purple spots in all photos" problem. :roll eyes:

I don't have Applecare, and there's not an Apple Store in my province (so nearest one is like 10 hours away).

Thanks.
 
Hey OddyOh

In my case, I got it solved with the change of the charging port. It cost me $50 at a local shop... If you are adventurous, you can get them for about $10 online. Hope you get it resolved!
