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...

I have a Verizon 16GB iphone 4s and have been having similar issues. The first month there were no issues and it has gotten progressively worse. The issue is not limited to outgoing calls and at this point my iphone makes no sound at all when it is acting up. When I use the volume control buttons on the side of the phone the volume icon appears on the screen with the sound waves but I am not able to change them at all. The volume icon is alsoj missing the dashes at the bottom that typically shows up when I change the volume.

The workaround of pressing the "speaker" on then off seems to work to get the call working. Hopefully this is addressed in the next release

I went to 5.1b3 a month ago and it resolved the problem. I haven't had a single reoccurance since, hundreds of calls. The fix will likely be in the official 5.1 release, when it comes out. In the meantime, upgrade to 5.1b3 and there is a pretty good chance you'll be done with this problem. Instructions on how to do this have been posted many times to this discussion group. It takes a little while to download the software, but just a few minutes to put it on the phone.
