Mumbling

So I was having a lovely talk with my sister, and suddenly i got annoyed by her "Whats?" and "Huh?" So I asked, "Can you not hear me?" and she was like "No, you sound very mumble-y, almost as if you have a lisp" I quickly blamed her phone (of course, who would blame a phone they paid 600$ for). Then i was talking to my friend, and she was also asking me to repeat things, and she too said i sounded mumble-y. Before anyone jumps me and starts claiming I'm a mumble speaker, they all called my house phone and heard me perfect, so it's not me, it's obviously this phone. Has this happened to anyone? Is there a solution?

I ran into a problem with distorted calls while I was walking around outside near my work in which sometime others thought my voice was distorted, and sometimes I heard highly distorted voices but on the other end I sounded fine. I first thought my iPhone was the problem, but I've discovered that the problem is a bad AT&T coverage "pocket" that I can walk in and out of where the call problems occur.

So, did your call problems occur in the same geographic location, or in various locations?

You can hear the person on the other end fine, but you sound like you are mumbling?

Try using the earbuds during a call to see if there is any difference. This should narrow down if there is a problem with the microphone.

I know this sounds like a dumb answer... but I've found it to be the case with my phone many times. The way I hold the phone, my finger covers up the Mic opening quite often. I have to be careful not to cover it up, otherwise I get a lot of the same "huh?" and "what?!?" 😉

I know the iphone has a water sensor that turns on when it has been wet, will those rain drops turn it on? I don't want to take it to the apple store and have them accusing me of submerging it in water.
