After upgrading to IOS 11, i started to have this exact problem with my iphone 6s in the first minute after upgrade, it only gets normal after restart but after a while it starts to not work again. Sound not going, not coming all calls are completely silent. İ never had this problem until upgrading to IOS 11.


And seing this is also happening to others, its probably a IOS11 6s issue.

I accidentally did the upgrade to 11 and ever since I have had nothing but problems with the phone. The sound and microphone and speaker problem that was discussed in this thread is definitely caused from the upgrade. If I am listening to a speaker through Bluetooth and then pick up my phone to send a message I am unable to use voice to text. After a phone call or text message comes in while I am listening to Bluetooth the volume goes all the way down and I am unable to use the microphone on the phone I have searched the Internet for a fix and the frustration with an upgrade coming out that has many problems makes no sense. My phone is working much slower and freezes periodically. I need

Guess what. It happens on my iphone x too. Everything was fine until I updated to ios11. After the update, I can’t hear my calls, no dial tone too. I restored the phone. Everything was back to normal. I stopped doing updates after that until ios11.2 came along. I updated and guess what. The problem returned! This is really frustrating!! Apple seriously needs to do something about this. It is affecting a lot of people.

I accidentally did the upgrade to 11 and ever since I have had nothing but problems with the phone. I personally wish that I had waited to do the upgrade. It seems if you wait on it, the bugs are worked out and you will have a smoother transition. I also am now having problems with text messaging duplicating the messages. My phone has frozen a few times since the upgrade. The sound and microphone and speaker problem that was discussed in this thread is definitely caused from the upgrade.

Who needs a functional phone when you have emoljis that move (sarcasm).


I tried everything on this forum several times including getting a new phone(killed a lot of time setting up new phone). That helped for a few days. We must have a corrupted app in common or something. I noticed, last year there was a problem with people who had What's app. I have what's app and apple watch Series 1 with my Iphone X. Perhaps we can find common denominators?

So a couple of weeks ago I took my phone in to Apple for a battery replacement. I was hoping that the sound issues might be related to the battery...


Anyway.. during the battery replacement, the 'Genius' screwed something up and bricked my phone.


So.. Apple gave me a brand new replacement phone for free.. result.


I didn't restore from backup on this phone so it's about as fresh as you can get.


The call issue still happens.


This is 100000% a software issue.


I've noticed that it only happens in certain locations (my home being one of them unfortunately) and at certain times (evening being the worst)


The mystery continues...

No I have followed over 10 suggestions, including getting a new phone countless restores countless setting resets, different cases, now they want me to change carriers. I get a lot more information from this discussion board then from Phone/store support . I know better than to change carriers but I might anyway just because I’m going crazy for three months.

I tried every possible solution on forums, nothing works..problem happened to me after i paired my Iphone 7 (ios 11.2.6) with bluetooth aux receiver, which i use in my car to listen music...i answered call while i was connected with that bluetooth device, and problem with microphone started there...on calls, other people couldn't hear my voice, recording voice memo is noisy a lot i can't even hear my voice, camera works best for video recording of all apps, it have some noise when i can hear in max volume...calls i don't know how, but they are fixed now, both with normal/speaker mode....now i'm installing the iOS 11.3 beta 5, and i'll report if the problem is fixed or not..
