IOS 11 Sound Problem

My phone could not be worse or less predictable. Must use headphones with mic for anyone to hear me. Starting immediately after upgrading my iPhone 6. Have updated to newest iOS, no improvement. Restarting does not improve. No carrier update available. This is really really bad. Speaker phone seems to work a little better but it is not predictable either. I restart twice a day at least just in case. Please advise.

Exact same problems here, iOS 11.0.1 on iPhone 7. Works for a while after reboot, then it starts happing again. Doesn’t matter if I use regular mic or speaker, both no sound when I’m calling or getting called…

Yes - exactly. And the tell-tale-sign it's going to happen again, I've found, is when there's no visual indication on the screen when using the side volume buttons.

I have noticed - as I use Airplane mode at night - that this now also turns Bluetooth on after deactivating (Airplane mode). So there may be a connection there. But I have failed to replicate the issue so far.

You know, you might be on to something. I always have bluetooth on, but usually it’s not connected. Normally (in iOS 10) the icon in the top bar would be gray (when no devices are connected), however now the icon is continually black, as if there is a connection. However, there isn’t any.

I also use airplane mode at night, so this could be connected.

I've been having this issue as well. I'm on an iPhone 6s. I take great care of my phone and it's in great condition. It has NOTHING to do with people not being able to hear me though. I cannot hear any audio in the ear piece nor is anything going out via the mic. This happened immediately after my iOS 11 update. It's not my phone. The phone was completely fine. I restart, it works just like many others have stated. This is a big problem as I handle multiple client calls daily. It's messing things up for me. Causing major frustrations. Also, the freezing and random restarting is absolutely getting on my nerves. I've never had a problem with iOS updated as I have with this.

Anyone experiencing weird cellular service slowdowns drop outs? I had great service and now, it's really bad. My web browsing is faster via my wifi as opposed to my data connection. Which is just odd and again, only after I updated. I updated to 11.0.1... things are buggier now with apps than initially. This is not good.

My Speakerphone option stops working through out the day and only a reboot will solve the issue. I've update to 11.0.2 but the problem persists. Apple ran a diagnostic on my phone on Sunday and said they found no issues.

After updating IOS to 11.0.2 I cannot make or receive any phone calls on my iPhone 6s.

Messenger and other voice communicator works fine.

EDIT: After reseting network settings everything went back to normal. Still - really uncool adventure just after OS update.

Having tais exact same issue with both iOS 11 and 11.0.1. I am having iPhone 6s. The alarm also has no sound when this is on. A reboot fixes it temporarily. Annoying. iOS is the new Android in this sense it seems.

Having the same issues in IPhone 6. Don’t hear the dial tone. No sound in ear speaker. I can get and do calls with my counterpart only with de loudspeaker activated.

Bluetooth turns on after booting even when I don’t turn it on before; the sound problem continues all time, even when I reboot. Updated to iOS 11.0.2 and nothing happened.

My iPhone 6s Plus was working perfectly fine before the update and now I have the exact same issue as everybody here no sound in the speaker and people cannot hear me during a phone call. I have to reboot the device and that fix the issue. But after a while the problem is coming back. And I don’t speak about all the other bugs IOS 11 is bringing on my phone (buggy and slow) I think I rebooted my phone more often since I have iOS 11 than since I bought my phone 20 month ago. This update is a huge joke for a company like Apple.

My father was an Apple fan and we have Apple devices since more than 30 years. It’s very sad to see that they don’t want to admit all these bugs are coming from their software update and I really regret that I did it.

Please Apple if you want to keep your customers you have to do something for them.

I have the same issue with my iPhone 7plus. It’s all fine until update. Tried all the recommendations that apple support suggested, restore, hard reset. The issue is with the volume button stop working, therefore making the volume stay at the lowest. Workaround is to restart the phone, but this happens to me 2-3 times a day. Which is extremely frustrating. I notice my music apps stops working too.

I actually received a new phone while I was in an apple store last week. But the problem exist even after this brand new install on new phone from apple .

The support insist that its a hardware issue and tell me to bring back to the store.

I have a very similar problem. After upgrading to ios11, call volume over my car’s Bluetooth connection is very, very low. Basically can’t hear anything people on the other end are saying. Tried adjusting all of my car’s speaker settings but that did nothing. I can only assume it’s a problem with the upgrade’s software. Please fix!

I lost all Siri and voice connections iPhone 6s after upgrading IOS 11. Lost my voice recordings and some Apps. But, Siri Works like a charm. I reset the entire iPhone completely and I still have a few glitches. But, I am wiling tol wait for the bug-fix.

My iPhone 7 has suffered the same fate. Worked fine until the update. Now any app that requires connection to the microphone doesn’t work. Including FaceTime, Skype, Voice Memos, phone, and guitar tuner. So i’m Now having to make calls via the iPad, while I wait for the next update.

Seriously Apple, desks should be getting cleared for this honker of an update. The engineer snag list should read thus:

———————————

Question 1: Does the iPhone still work as an ACTUAL PHONE?!

(Note to engineer - If answer is Y then proceed. If answer is N then please start again.)

———————————

Please Apple. Please. Sort it out!

I have the same problem. iPhone 6. It works for a few calls after resetting.. then the problem comes again where I can’t hear them and they can not hear me on a call. Is there no way of downgrading haha? Hate this update
