Hi there!

Im having the exact same problems after iOS5 upgrade. Guess I have to make a new installation and see if it works out...?

Having the same problem must be faulty iphone 4s going to take mine back get other 1. What a shame its 1 day old

I believe its something with the iOS5? I have the iPhone 4. Just made a new install, everything from scratch. Still same problem. Would like to revert to iOS4 now to see. How do I do that?

Same thing with mine. The minute after upgrading, this happened. Tried everything: plug / un-plug the earphones, reset, restore, etc. And it happened while I'm abroad with no Apple stores around. Really annoying. I guess the phone was faulty and that's it, this is not my first time, it's the 5th phone at least in a year, and this one is not a refurb one, is a brand new out of the box with only 5 months of use.

Same problem with my phone too. The worst part was both loud speaker and regular speaker functions and the mike was dead. I reset the phone and am now back on good old 4.3.5. It works like it was before. I still have problem with my wired headset which does not seem to work. This problem has been there, since the time i got the phone. No idea how to get that fixed.

I was hoping the OS 5.0 would resolve that too, apparently not!!!

Well I recently upgraded my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0 & fortunately I didn't face the same issue but i noticed something related to this topic & might solve this problem.When the phone is locked and you double clicked the home page button ipod will appear then press again the home screen button & hold on it until voice control appears press cancel,you will return back to the ipod while the phone is still locked.You will notice a strange button appeared inside the ipod buttons it looks like play button but it is surrounded by a rectangle,press this button you will find 2 options iphone & iphone speaker choose iphone & try ( Note: if this button didn't appear try again until it appears). Thanks to give me your feedback.

Ayman, I found the button, but for me there is only the "iPhone" alternative. What is this function anyways?

No dice on the fixAyman suggested. This is quite frustrating. Everyhitng worked until the upgrade to iOS 5. Has anyone found a fix without a full software wipe?

Go To Settings-General- accessibility and scroll to the bottom till you get to incoming calls and open it. Se that Default is selected. Also try rebooting your phone.

Same problem here and it's making me go crazy.Really nice OS 5.😠

Same problem with my phone. Would love a solution. Either how do I download the last operating system or another way. The suggestion from above about the lock screen didn't work.

It's not a software issue, in my case at least. I managed to downgrade to 4.3.3, and still the ear speaker doesn't work. Tried the accessibility trick also, the plug & unplug the earphones, everything. I have to take it to an apple store for an exchange, but it caught me traveling. Luckily I have a backup phone.

Hey there from Ukraine. Have the same problem after updating my iPhone 4 to 5 iOs. The loud speaker button is always on, while i'm trying to call or someone calls me. And, of course, noone can hear me and i can't hear anybody. It's really annoying, i can't use my device as a phone... tried to downgrade to 4.3.3 - on that firmware everything is ok. Updated again to 5 - the problem came back. I also noticed, that during this bug i can't drop the call with Power button, proximity sensor isn't working too. Ayman's solution didn't help, i found that button, but i have only "iPhone" there.

So, looking for help with this bug, like you all 😟

I have 2 iphone 4 and one is doing this and one doesn't do it. You can not hear or take a call on the phone speaker in your ear. But if you use the speaker button it works. Never happened before and upgraded the phone last night been doing it all day. Apple please come out with a fix. This is clearly not our fault. If this continues I will take it back to verizon and make them replace the phone.
