The microphone on my iphone 8 plus is constantly fading in and out. I may have a perfectly fine conversation over the phone for 10 minutes or so, but in the end I always end up having to switch to the speaker because the people on the other end can’t hear me.
Anyone else experience this? What can I do?
I did a few things that seems to have helped quite a bit. I set LTE to data only and disabled the background noise filter as others have suggested. I don't have anyone complaining now when I'm on speaker or not. I'm suspecting that the LTE thing is the culprit and not necessarily the microphone. The reason is that all other applications not making calls were able to hear just fine. I also downloaded a spectacular app called Lirum info. There is a lite version for free but you need to pay the 2.99 for the full version to test your microphones. Its a very complete diagnostic app that gives you access to nearly everything on the phone and full diagnostics. The tech at the genius bar was even a bit amazed when I brought my old Ip 6 plus in for a new battery! Anyhow I'm not trying to sell the app, but I tested all the microphones using it. They are all functioning perfectly. So, I know that disabling the LTE for calls was most likely what was causing the problem. At least in my case. I'm not sure what the LTE on calls does, but disabling it did nothing that I can detect to call quality or performance. But it did seem to fix the muffled mic issue for me. Apple needs to look at this.
Having same issue I will be returning my I phone 8 because of this.
Where are the complaints about this product?
I would like to read them!
I went throught 4 six plus before they switched me to 8. The 7/8 all have same issue
Same exact issue with a brand new 8. So frustrating, especially when talking to friends and family on androids.
I am having the exact same issues of being told to repeat what I’m saying or that the other person can’t hear me.
Mine is happening on two new iPhone 8s and 7 that was a work phone. Not the carrier. I have ATT. Super frustrating. A basic function of the phone doesn’t function.

Hello, Apple?!

Not very reliable as a phone.

3rd replacement, same issue ?
is there a quality problem ?
my se has been a good phone at half the price.
Yes the same issue - microphone fails or very bad quality.
Do you have a good phone yet ? I just sent mine in today with fedex.
Hi, Would love to know how your problem was eventually solved.
Ive tried everything suggested - been twice to the Apple Store (can't replicate !!!) new SIM - no change. Any advice most welcome..
Yes I’m having the same problem. It’s frustrating because I’m not able to carry on conversations. Apple needs to fix this problem or replace iPhone 8 for those experiencing this problem.
