I did what the previous post said I put it on loud speaker then turned it bk to private and it worked I take it it's still a fault with the phone?

I have the same problem, except I can turn the speaker off right away again and then it works normally. But every incoming or outcoming call i can't hear, nor can they hear me until I put it on speaker, then turn off speaker then all is well. Im curious what is causing this.

I will have to try the speaker on them off and see if that works.

Yes u can take it back for a new one but they are back ordered now. It's a defect in the phone. Verizon is sending me a new one but I will not get it until the 28th.

Can I suggest insert and remove the headset several times, it might be a slightly fault socket.

He's right could work with a headset.
It's probably a mistake which is creating Chaos with Apple.
As they did not have time to think about the sound coming from the speakers.
It's probably weak, or a sound driver hasn't been installed on the phone, also the sound driver could have failed.
So Apple didn't have time to fix it, so they just shipped it.

Apple doesn't ship something that is known to be broken. And they didn't fail to install a "software driver". At worse this is a batch issue where a part is failing in a way that testing did not find. I can say this because my iPhone 4S works perfectly.

I know that they wouldn't do both.
Talking about testing,
But maybe some parts weren't tested when the ''Driver'' software was installed.
But it baffles and puzzles me how it doesn't work?

Manufactures test things in batches because it is impossible to test every component 100%. So if they took stock of 1 million chips, probably around 10% were sampled for failures. Even though they do random sampling, there could have been a group of say 10,000 chips that had a slight flaw and that flaw didn't show up till it was paired with all of its supporting components.

I have the same problem. I will call and i wont hear ringing before they answer and if that happens i know i wont hear them on the other end. Another time i called and i could hear them but they could not hear me.

What do i do... Call apple or att? is this a software issue or a hardware issue?
