Q: 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...

Well, I'm on my 3rd 16gb 4s and this one is working. No problems connecting and I can hear everyone fine now -- never have to switch to speaker. If I hold the mic too close to my mouth, there is an echo at times, but otherwise the problem is gone. The first 2 phones I had the issue was almost constant. Happened on over 60% of the calls I made.

 

Hopefully it can be fixed with a patch, but at this point, Apple hasn't even acknowledged that it's a known issue (at least not to me).

 

I tried talking to them on the phone, but the only way to accomplish anything was to go to the Apple Store and exchange it for a different phone.

    Even tho most of you have a 4s, I have an iphone 4, 32gb and I get the same problem.. the phone rings half a tone, then silence until 1-2 secs after someone picks up.. If i call a standard voice mail of "you have reached " I can hear the name of the person, but not the intro message.

     

    I dont use a headset, and yes it is fixed by turning on speakerphone (has a 1 sec lag too when turning on) and turning it back off I got sound in my speaker. Didnt get this problem before 5.0.1

    Hey!

     

    To those who asked me to report with at least a week of the 5.1b3 usage experience:

    so two weeks passed- NO OCNA issue

     

    I am strongly of the opinion that this is NOT a HW problem- it's pure SW issue

     

    Also, the battery now is much more better than it was with 5.0

     

    However, most of us really can not get, why apple dont pay attention to this WORLDWIDE problem?

    I think this is because:

    1) everything is fixed in 5.1 SW

    2) they are NOT launching new SW because:

        - new product is coming

        - 5.0 was successfully jailbroken, so not to give an opportunity to jailbreak new SW until the new product is lauched

     

    Anywhere, it doesnt make any respect to APPLE for allowing these problems to happen, and not operatively solving it

    in terms of OCNA issue, 9A406 will not solve anything

    only 5.1b3 will help

    al least I'm enjoying for two weeks already

    Same problem here. Iphone 4. Latest update. Telia, Sweden.

    It started this morning (no sound, incoming or outgoing).

     

    Everything works fine with software like Skype.

    Hi there,

     

    You can download iOS 5.1 b.3 --> from this site: http://www.iphonefirmware.com/download-ios-beta/ and follow the instruction from this uTube video

     

    I updated my iPhone4S device(4-5 days ago) to 5.1 Beta3 - the OCNA issue is gone - after the update.

     

    But now I am dealing with a 3G internet connection issue - it just keep loading (the loading circle), but not getting anything on the screen.

     

    I hope m'Apple will lunch a new product soon with the official iOS 5.1 release..
    this morning I read this intresting article "Why smartphone dont work anymore" - the title says it all..

    I had the same problem the first time I installed beta three. My 3G wouldn't stay connected and my signal was allover the place. I just tried to reinstall and so far it appears to be better. Verizon is sending me a replacement phone overnight I will have tomorrow so I'm going to try this beta three for a full 24 hours to see what happens.

    regaring the 3G issue - I dont think its a phone issue, I dont think it will help by replacing the phone itself, before I upgraded to iOS5.1 beta3 my 3G connection worked proper for like 2,5 month without any issue, I think its  a software issue..

    I am having the same issue with my Verizon iPhone 4S. I haven't tried switching to speaker or these other hack resolutions. It is sporadic but appears to be limited to ougoing calls. Hoping Apple or Verizon will resolve this bug soon.

    I'm so glad I found this thread. I'm using a 4S since it came out and I've updated to the latest IOS through iTunes. Almost all outgoing calls, the other person can hear me but I'm muted. Calling back again immediately releases the muting and we can talk. Had this problem since pretty much the beginning but it's getting worse by the day.

    I live in Sweden and have Telenor as an operator. My old iPhone 3GS with  the same OS never had any problems. I miss it...

    I´ve shut down all the notifications in the notificationcenter. Shut down the iPhone and turned it on. Made a call - Wauv it's OK. Then my son made a call to me - but he couldn't hear me. So, it didn't resolve the problem.
