imageiPhone 4S Call Audio Issues May Not be Fixed in iOS 5.1

Apple is yet to fix the call audio bugs plaguing iPhone 4S users (and maybe even iPhone 4 users) that we had reported couple of months back.



In the last two months, the discussion thread on Apple's website that was opened on the issue has gone from 36 pages to a whopping 110 pages, indicating that the issue is affecting many iPhone users.

One user on the forum, who initiated the thread complaints:

    I bought the 4S 16GB in Denmark with a Danish service provider. I have the same problem.. So it seems it not just limited to Verizon.. However it is only on outbound calls, and I can hear the other end, they just can't hear me.. I hang up and call again and then the audio works.. My service provider works on the theory that the problem might have something to with the type of sim card I've got.. So I'm picking up a new one later this week.. Think that they called the problem free sim card a USIM card if that helps anyone..

    I did have that problem with a replacement that i got from att after my first 4S, what i did was to hit Speaker button and then turn back to normal use of the speaker, and it works, but as it was new, i took it again to the app store the genius over there replace again the phone... =)

    If the problem bothers you I cannot understand why you don't take the silly thing back and claim your money. This is an expensive item and should work correctly leastly on the important things.

    I recently bought the iPhone 4s 16gb and sometimes have this problem. When I make a call it seems like I can talk through my own speaker and I cannot hear the other person even though the call count has started. Everytime I get this I activate the phone speaker and then de-activate it and the phone works perfectly!

    I have a similar problem, but it only effects outgoing calls if I am connected to WiFi. If I disable WiFi before calling it works fine. Incoming calls are not effected.I'm on AT&T with an iPhone 4s.

    I have the AT&T 64 GB 4s. The phone has so many bugs in it, i don't know where to start. I have missed phone calls that do not even register in the phone and go to voicemail, calls that behave like you described in the article. What is up with reminders app? it locks up 99% of the time that I attempt to use it! Siri is a joke, if you are not in total silence it barely even works and has too many limitations. I was going to return it to Apple but was hoping Apple would fix the iOS issue by now, if it is an iOS. I switched over to the 4s due to the lag time in opening apps, etc. What is going on at Apple? Do they not realize how many people they are pissing off that have the tech backgrounds to know that the phone is really malfunctioning and not just a user error? My 2005 Nokia brick phone was 100 times better than this iPhone 4s. Something needs to be done. Everyone should take the two plus hours and call Apple and talk to their Corporate Resolution Staff not just technical support. Raise hell! In a polite way of course. We paid good money for these phones.

    Had the same issue, randomly could not hear the outgoing call. Took the 4S to apple, they confirmed the problem and gave me a new phone. No questions asked. So far so good with the new iPhone......

    სამწუხაროდ, მეც ანალოგიური პრობლემა მაქვს iPhone 4S-ზე :(როდესაც ვრეკავ სადმე, მეორე მხარეს ხმა მესმის, მაგრამ ჩემი ხმა არ ისმის.იმედია IOS 5.1-ში ამ პრობლემას მოაგვარებენ

    I bought my iphone 4s November 4th. I had the same problem the 2nd day I bought the phone. I got my 2nd iphone 4s December 6th and had the same problem with that phone the same day too! I am very upset. I switch from being a sprint user for 10 years to going with Verizon. I had problems with my old phone through sprint, ended up switching with Verizon to have more problems with the iphone 4s . Not a happy camper.
