Q: iPhone 4S - Outgoing call no audio

You have to be a paid developer to have access to beta software.

It doesn't work because your phone UDID has to be in the apple's dev database. And you can get it there by either paying 100$ for a dev account or make your phone a beta test device by asking someone who is a paying developer to register your phone.

Anyway from what i heard iOS 5 beta 2 doesn't fix no audio problem.

I tend to think this is a hardware issue: i replaced 5 iPhones and only one had this problem. If it was software everyone should experience no audio when calling.

There's no point in downloading. You can't install it...

5.1 beta2 fix problem with audio.

100%

So, is it possible or not to install this beta version to fix the audio issue? Some people above write that there is no point in this beta version as you cannot install it.

Other users in this forum and other ones said that beta 2 had no effect over this issue...

And you can't install it unless you are a paid dev.

To think that it took Apple's two months to come up with a battery fix (we dont even know if it works yet) on a product that has a 12 months life span and costs $649 is really pathetic.

so does anyone got the problem fixed after installed the 5.1 beta2 version ??

i decided going back to apple for replacement tmr , hope the same problem wont happens on the replacement

Hi,

For my sins I look after blackberry's at work and my wifes Iphone at home. She had a 3G for 2 years which worked great, then on Nov 11 upgraded to an Iphone4s, since then we have had 2 iphone4s devices with the outgoing call problem (high incidence of no audio, but if you click the loudspeaker icon then all is well). The 3rd phone works perfectly. I did the same thing to all of them when i received then, I upgraded the firmware to 5.1 and loaded from a backup. The second phone was worse than the first, it would virtually get stuck with the problem for several calls and then would 'work' for a while. But the record of making a successful calls without problem was only 14, I know that because whilst waiting for my appointment to see a 'guru' i just kept calling my  company mobile to see how bad the problem actually was.

Its hardware, dont wait for a fix, get a new phone before the warranty expires.

download the firmware and remove SIM card from device before updating. Then click Check for Update in iTunes with ALT button (on Mac,  is SHIFT on Windows), select the downloaded firmware and update.

So much BS around here.

once more - my phone had the problem , now it's gone since I upgraded to IOS 5.1 beta.

in order to do it - you need to register your phone UDID on the apple website.

to do it you either need to buy a devlopers account ,

or get someone with a developers account to do it for you.

[some people will do if for a few dollars - look for it online]

after your phone is registered , you can Install the Firmware and apple will approve it.

do it in Itunes , press shift + restore , then you can select the file.

[make sure you do not upgrade to 5.01 ]

this solved the problem for me...

p.s.

I would love to go to the apple shop and get a new phone

but the nearest one is four hours of flight away - so just upgraded the firmware.

goodluck to everybody

and yes apple really fuXXXX up on this one...

So i went to the Apple Store earlier today and the chap tried to make an outgoing call after i explained the issue to him.

He encountered the same problem and without hesitation replaced the phone,

So far its been ok!!!!!!!!!!

I had problems updating the firmware from 5.0 to 5.0.1.

I kept getting the message that the update was not possible because the firmware file was not compatible.

After several attempts it worked but i think it was via wifi as i had it connected to the pc and wifi.

So is the general concensus that it is most likely a hardware issue and waiting for a software fix isnt going to help? They said I can return the phone and they will send new one but they will charge me $35 dollars restocking fee. I am worried the replacement will do the same thing as well and I'm out another 35 bucks, this is only 2 weeks old and I had insurance, what a jip.

How often does this occur? e.g. may be 1 in 10 calls? Got my 4S 64G last week. And I haven't encounter such problem yet through the whole week. I'm mostly on 2G, only tried with a 3G SIM once. Does 2G/3G matter? I'm on 5.0.1

Thanks.

One more thing. I've Siri turned off.
