iPhone 4 microphone not working

I have been told that my new iPhone 4 (16Gb) will have to be replaced as the microphone does not work, whatever I do, and despite resets and restores. I can make and receive calls on the speakerphone (with considerable distortion), but the basic microphone does not operate in any application. I have seen some US posts indicating a similar problem, so is this a fault in the new 'phone? It worked semi-OK on the first day I had the 'phone, though people calling me said they were having trouble hearing me, but it gave up altogether on the second. Really disappointed.

Ok, how about this, I am having the same problem with my iphone 4s - I can only communicate on my calls when switching to speaker phone BUT ONLY WHEN I AM AT HOME.


When I am out and about roaming the streets it appears to work fine. This clearly makes no sense but has been going on for a month now. The only thing that would be different is I would be connected to my wireless hub at home, but how that would have any connection to my iphone microphone not working is beyond me.


I anticipate an amazing solution.
