I tried to clean it but no positive result!

Does it mean that I have to send it for hardware repir or to replace this microphone?


Thank you

Same problem; was able to record using the Voice recorder app and volume was great on playback - but no sound on movie recordings.


Needle in the small mic hole on top solved it perfectly.

huhuhu. I can here my voice using voice memo but when I record a video it has no sound. I already tried cleaning the mic but it has no dirt. I also checked if there is an app that is being muted. And I go to youtube as what they suggested. But it is still not working! I think this problem started when I updated my iphone to OS 7.1.2. Please help.

I can tell there are many different issues with the iPhone 4. I went from first to last post and tried EVERY suggestion.


The one that worked for me was putting in the headphones and adjusting the volume. I did not know that the volumes were different that way. I had my phone volume up in everything I could find, so imagine my surprise when I put in my headphones and found the volume very low.


I turned it up and voila I can record sound on my videos. I am wondering though what the true problem is. I have videos on my phone and some have sound and some do not, that were taken when the volume was low (I know this because I NEVER use the headphone jack on my phone. Not once in almost 2 years) The videos are in order so it seems to me to be an intermittent problem. If I have this happen again while the volume is still up I will get rid of the iPhone and go elsewhere.

SOLUTION...


I had this exact problem on my brand new iPhone 5s. Hissing when playing back videos I'd recorded and the voices sounding like they are a million miles away. Voice memo recording was fine, it only affected video recording.


I PEELED OFF THE PLASTIC FILM ON THE BACK OF THE PHONE AND THE PROBLEM IS GONE.
