Hi all,

sorry for my English,

The same problem here in Italy, a lot of users has the same issues.

I hope that Apple could solve this problem with new software

I also have this problems when i using iphone 4S 16G in Hong Kong.I cant use my hands free for calling (the speaker will auto on when I use it) and sometime no sound when I need to make some call. Please fix it !!!!!!

I have the same problem. I called my provider and they have asked me to take it to an apple store where an specialist maybe able to help.

Switching to speakerphone is not a "correct answer" - it's barely a temporary fix that seems rather unsatisfactory for such an expensive piece of kit. It is appalling that Apple have not acknowledged or addressed this problem, which is affecting 4S users worldwide. The echo rendes the device not fit for purpose.

If anyone does find a cure to it, many (including myself) will be most grateful.

here in australia, also happened the same problem. i broult it and they gave me a replacement but still the same. all my collegues have the same problem too.

I really don't understand why apple insist not to address this problem and do nothing to solve this.

very disappointed and don't want to buy apple product anymore.

my love to steve jobs and apple has flew away.

Dear Apple,

This is a global problem!!!!!!!!

Here in Italy there are a lot of users frustrated by this issue.

I use a lot of Apple products, Mac Pro, Macboock Pro, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and now iPhone 4S!

But i think that this is the moment to migrate to others platforms!

The company  has trasformed into a gadget salesman, and so i have to say hallo to Apple!!!!!

Please can everyone let apple know by filling out the following "official" form

http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

As pointed out by someone in the thread, the more people who fills out the form, the more attention it will get from apple

Same problem with mine.  Apple store replaced it once, and when I left the store it was working fine.  Now it has started again.  No audio on some outgoing calls.  It shows the counter, but I cannot hear the phone dialing, and can't hear the person on the other end.  And sometimes when it does dial, it connects and I get a loud screech like a fax machine trying to pick up.  And when I do make a sucessful call, after 5-6 minutes the sound fades and the person I am talking to can no longer hear me.  I did fill out the feedback form, but Apple REALLY needs to address this issue quickly.  I've had Apple products since the mid 80's, and don't want to change, but this is discouraging.  Also the call quality is poor.  I had T-Mobile for 8 years, and used an unlocked 3g, and never had these problems.  It just got glitchy after awhile because I could not update the OS.

This is what happened to me.

I went to the Apple Store (International Mall Tampa FL) to complain that my second phone and my third handset replacement did not solve the problem. These guys are now saying: If we can't reproduce the problem we don't replace anything. So they use their phones at the store and everything surprisingly works perfect!!!!..  But,, during the test I got a phone call.. and I put the apple guy on the phone.. and he answered reluctantly: Oh, I don't hear the echo, the call is perfectly clear...

The incoming phone call had a louder echo and he dinied...

I don't know what to do. I got a phone and I can't even use it as one. What's next? A lawsuit for this?

Same problem here with the earphones. I also have a very annoying static noise on almost all my calls(without the earphones)

iPhone 4s, 16gb, black

Country: Switzerland

Operator: Orange

iPhone exchanged: 3 times, problems on all of them

I am on my third iphone 4s.This time using as new without syncing with itunes in case of a bug in itunes.Made three calls.Two were ok and one still had echo and voice distortion.Have to make more calls to see how it goes.Will update latter.

I bought my iPhone lastnight and have similar issues.

When I make a call, it connects, but the other person on the line can't hear me and I can't

hear them, all I hear is the echo (myself) talking.

What to do? This is my second replacement...

strange... if you can't hear the other person then it's really bad... you need to get a third replacement I'm afraid.... most of us in this thread are experiencing echo from the other line when using the earpiece..not the other way around...

If I were you, I would try another phone..

Me too! Even without using a headset

iPhone 4s on AT&T with iOs 5.0.1 no case, no headsphones or bluetooth - just very poor voice quality during calls. Incoming. Outgoing. From four different cities over the past week. Irritating echo and tinny voice quality. Every single time. Guess I'll be going to the apple store to exchange the phone.

I have the same problem. During the call I hear my voice ... an annoying echo.

I hope it's just a software problem and solve it soon ... is unacceptable!
