iPhone 4S - Outgoing call no audio

Picked up a Verizon iPhone 4S - 32GB and on about 1 in 10 calls I get no outbound audio when dialing. Call shows the timer counting as if the call is progressing but absolutely no ring back and cannot hear the party on the other end when they answer.


Anyone else having this issue? I've found a few forums online stating people have had luck hitting the speaker button on and off to get it working again but it hasn't failed in the past 20 minutes for me to test that theory..


Thanks...

some thing no one seems to have mentioned is going to setting>general>reset>reset all settings you wont lose any content it will just ask you to resetup the settings on the phone this may solve the issue also check the charger plug in and the head phone plug in for an orange color is you see that it means the water sensors have been tripped and that is a very common cause of this issue if you still are having issues after a reset of all settings and the water sensors are not tripped I suggest a restore as new so sync all your information in itunes then hit restore it may take 30-40 minutes and when its finished sync your stuff back over DO NOT RESTORE FROM A BACK UP if you do this it will just reinstall any corruption that might be in the data if the issue continiues after this it most likely is a hardware issue in which case you would want to go to your nearest apple retail store or call apple care

I had the same problem last weekend. I updated my 4S to 5.1 some days ago. Trying to solve the problem, today, I turned off bluetooth and the phone apparently is OK after that.I don't know why but maybe if bluetooth is on, the other person in outgoing calls doesn't hear anything sometimes (I had to make two or tree calls before the other person can hear me). Try that and let me know if that works for you too.

I have the same issue. Faulty iPhone software and product. ATT and Apple wont budge to confirm of this issue. They are brushing off all of their product issues, false misrepresentation. I have rebooted, reinstalled, re-everything and still the same issue. I dont have the time and pleasure to keep exchanging their product just hoping I will get lucky and it will work with the next. Their stock price is going higher and higher so they do not give a **** about the products any longer.

I purchased a new 4s yesterday. I thought I had an issue with my phone (low sound) while on calls and listening to VM. Come to find out there is no issue. I removed the protective film that came with the phone then bang, loud and crystal clear. 😝


I wanted to keep the plastic on my phone until I could get a case or bumper. I feel so embrassed.

It seems I am not alone with this very annoying problem with my iPhone 4S. I have attempted all the fixes suggested to no avail and the upgrade made no differences. The problem continues and it is driving me MAD. My family understand and just keep on calling, but I can't give strangers my mobile number as it is so unreliable. I have had my phone since it was released. It is great for everything else, hopeless for making phone calls.


Please APPLE fix this problem now.

So the 5.1 upgrade did not do any difference?


If so then I think the only solution is getting your phone replaced. Myself and many others got the problem fixed by upgrading to 5.1.


The rest got their phone replaced.


I would think it's highly unlikely Apple will do anything else about the problem since they obivously has a software fix that works for a lot of people. And they will never make a recall or public acknowledgement.


So go to your closest Apple store or in case you don't have anyone, contact the operator which you bought the phone through and get them to do it for you.
