iPhone 4/iOS 4 bluetooth muffled on other end

Do you mean Apple figured that out? Or you mean people figured that out on this thread? There is a difference here. We figure it out is one thing, but if Apple comes to the same conclusion, this further confirms that muffled voice fix is very likely in 4.1. Otherwise, is it just the connection drop fix?

I mean Apple figured that out. They confirmed it to me in my defect which has now been marked 'Closed' - not duplicate like most I open 😉

We went back and forth over a couple of weeks and they declared it fixed in 4.1 beta 3. My testing confirms. I hope others will validate with different headset combinations. Apple has asked me to reopen the defect if any new headsets are discovered that don't work correctly (with respect to audio quality) under beta 3.

Ahh sweet. Thank you for being understanding and putting up with all my questions. That is indeed a good news 🙂 Can't wait for 4.1 😀

Guys,

Finally there is some hard evidence!!! Check out this post and article describing AND documenting the issue with a video!!!

I Just got the iPhone4 this month. I have the Planatronics Voyager Pro since March of 2010. It worked well with my Blackberry, never had a problem. On the iphone4 i am told i sound muffled and the bluetooth drops connection to the phone; however it does reconnect, but can be a bit annoying.

I have called Apple Support a few times, end result they replaced my phone after 2 weeks of having it. Phone replacement does not resolve the issue.
Apple needs to respond to these complaints and resolve this issue. I have 2 more weeks before my 30 day time expires and i am strongly considering going back to Blackberry.

This issue has been resolved in iOS 4.1 beta 3. All signs point to a final release of 4.1 to the public very soon. Just hang in there a bit longer.

I'm having the same problem. People said I sounded like I was in a tunnel, if they heard me at all. Happened in my car and with my headset. Went to the genius bar and they issued me a new phone last week. Was working O.K. for some calls, but now I"m still having a problem where people say I'm breaking up.

Hi It is a shame that such a premium charged product has so many inferior faults. Apple is becoming the victim of Quarterly sale...
Any idea on the release date?

4.1 will be available 'next week', according to Jobs during today's media event.

Confirmed fixed (at least for me & my Plantronics 925) in 4.1. You can get it right now if you want. Shift+Update in iTunes, select the file & go! Easy as pie!

Awesome. Appears to be fixed for me as well 🙂
Thanks for the links
What a wait since June 24th...

I'd love to get this fix, but not sure what to do after I click on the link. Step by step instructions anyone? Thanks!!

Jim, once you download the file you have to save it in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\your computer profile name\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
that's if you have windows xp. Once you save it here then you can shift+update in itunes locate the file in this path then it will update.

Thanks mas. I am running Mac OS 10.6. No wonder the shift+update didn't work! I appreciate your response, thank you.

how do you "shift,update"?

do you press the shift key and then "check for updates"? if not, where is the update key and should this all be done while the phone is connected or before connecting it? thanks
