Iphone 4 people cant hear me during calls.

I recently have been having issues with people hearing me when i call them or i receive their calls. My sound works perfectly through Facetime and thru mic apps. What gives? Do I need to return my iphone to have this fixed? Resetting has not fixed the problem. =(

iphone 4, iOS 4

Isn't the fact that the mic works in other apps except on phone calls a sign of a software glitch? I have the same problems with calls to others who cannot hear me when the phone is near my ear, on speakerphone, or bluetooth. I have also performed the usual troubleshooting tips with the same results: sporadic success with people hearing me on phone calls...

Same thing started today on my wife's iPhone 4 that she's had less than a month...Have tried all of the "genius" bar suggestions...Update, restart, restore, remove, replace, blah, blah...No luck. I'm a big Mac supporter but I can't stand when this happens from time to time with their new products that obviously have hardware defects and it takes them FOREVER to even acknowledge it, much less deal with it. Apple, GET THIS FIXED!!!!!

As with somebody else, I tried everything and found out.... tapping the phone on a table seems to bring my voice back. I can hear everything the other person is saying, but they cannot hear me. I have to tap my phone on a table to get them to hear me. After that, I constantly have to ask if they can hear me because it inevitably goes out within a minute, sometimes shorter. I am just glad I am not making important calls!! My phone is amazing in every other way, but this is a major problem.

I'm taking it back tomorrow... Obviously, it has to be hardware if tapping does the trick.

Infact is a hardware problem, is the connectos inside the iPhone that have the problem. A friend of mine had that problem in his new iphone and we just opened it and what we did was to unplug all connectors and plug them again and everything worked fine again. The problem started when he droped the iphone accidentaly.

Of cuorse this voids the warranty.
Also this steps came from a trusted source ( employer of apple) that he knows.
