iPhone 4s mic issues

Same problem after upgrade to iOS5.01 today. My new white 32G 4S loses its microphone intermittently. This needs an Apple fix and pronto.

I see an obvious bug: when I tap the mic mute icon while making a call, it doesn't turn blue.

The temp fix seems to be this --

* tap the speaker icon

* tap the mic mute icon

-- see both in blue state.

* tap speaker icon again to turn it off

* tap mute icon to turn it off

-- microphone now works -- for the current call only!

Same Issue ..... Apple please fix

I'm haing same problem...people either can't hear me, say my voice is very distorted or ask where I am because they can hear the rain [when it's sunny]

I bought 4iPhone 4s, this one with audio problem, 2 with batteries goinf flat within hours [Apple replaced one and fixed the other].

So I suppose if we are getting only a 25% success rate, Apple should do better than making me waait 3 days to meet at the Genius bar.

Suggestions for something better than iPhone 4 are welcome

Took my phone phone to the Apple store, the guy had heard of the problem and gave me a new phone. New one works fine.

I am from NZ and face the exact same problem. It work fine for the first 24 hours (Siri not calling) and when I received my first call it just muted. I hope apple replaces it, it brand spanking new...

I hope that Apple has a solution for this because it happened to my iPhone 4 after the iOS 5 update 😟.

Same Problem here... Problem solves only when I completely reboot my 4s. Please give us an update!

This is the issue I have. When I call someone I can't hear them. If they call me, there is no problem.

I am also seeing this issue.

I should have used the phone on the iphone store before bringing it home. Now I have to take it back and get it replaced.

Reading the board I don't think the software reinstall is even worth the effort.

Apple, fix this issue. These errors with the new iPhone are ruining your reputation and every day my microphone doesn't work, the less likely I am to ever buy another apple product. DO SOMETHING

Im having the same problem also only had it three days, needs to get fixed asap would of thought that when you upgrade your phones so much and the expense of the iphone 4s there should be no problems with it at all my iphone 3g worked better on calls than my iphone 4s... FIX IT!!!!

Although the issue is intermittent I've noticed it seems to occur when I activate a handsfree device during a call such as plugging in the Apple earbuds or turning on bluetooth device.

The telltale sign your screwed is the speakerphone icon will light up blue when voice mic should be serviced through the handsfree device. Once this happens you can't use the phone mic nor the handsfree device even when telling the phone to switch mics through pressing the icons and selecting source. The only solution I've found is a cold reboot.

When it happens to all of you are you using a handsfree device?

I wonder if its related to the Siri proximity sensor which switches on the speakerphone... I recall this happening once when using Siri to try and dial while it was using speakerphone mode but when I switch speakerphone off I was unable to talk to the other party and needed a cold reboot.

Keep in mind for every complaint made there are 20 others that do not get made. Look at the number of replies compared to the number of views. There are thousands of people with this issue, and I am one too. My wife and I both have an iPhone 4s. Hers works fine, but the majority of time I place a call I cannot hear anyone and they cannot hear me. It will only work if I turn on the speaker and then turn it off. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! This is clearly a software issue, not hardware. If there was an emergency release to fix the battery then why hasn't there been a release to fix the mic yet? I am getting really sick of this.

I have had the same issue, mic being muted, can hear caller...they cant hear me. Issue has happened with 2 different bluetooth devices, as well as 2 different iphone headphone sets. The only way that I have found to get it out of this death loop of mute is to either disconnect the device prior to resetting the the phone......reconnect after the phone comes back up OR calling yourself severla times from another phone and attempting to answer form the headphones ONLY. If you attempt to answer form the phone itself....."by pressing the screen" this will not help you. Toggle will not work either (iphone to speaker). This must be adrressed ASAP its now affecting business!!!

I got my new iPhone 4s last week. I have been trouble free since then, and I have switched between using the headset and the normal mic.

I think it is hardware. Get a new phone since they will replace it for this issue.
