Can't hear my phone calls. How to fix it?

Go to voicemail. Put on speakerphone. Rapidly tap mute and speakerphone about 10 times. This worked for me when nothing else would.

There is a repair issue, that covers this. However this appears to be some kind of software thing, and possibly related to carriers. Like just previously stated. You're using an overseas carrier, where this phone was intended for an American carrier

I tried everything listed above. Nothing worked. So out of desperation I literally ran the tip of my tongue across the ear speaker several times. Then I dried it on my shirt and blew in it a couple times. Worked!!

Solved mine by sucking on the earpiece. Crazy but it was recommended on line for iPhone 4, so I tried it on my iPhone 6, and it worked. I felt rediculous, but it worked like a charm.

Try going to settings/Cellular. Then from there Enable LTE to Voice & Data. Not to sure if that will help but it cleared up the same problem I had with my 6. I live in the U.S though..

Long shot - is the protective front plastic still on the device? If so, it would hinder the volume on the headset speaker.

Don't waste your time on all of the other stuff. None of that stuff up there worked. I saw a comment on another forum about sucking on the headphone jack and tried it. I burst out laughing because it was the only thing that actually worked, when I initially thought it was a joke. Lol. Thank you so much!

I would try going to setting and go to restore to factory default settings . the after it turns off and back on i would shut it down one more time and hopefully it will work mine did

Your phone will only work in uk

I have repaired two iPhone 6 units hear with the same problem. The ear speaker has small connectors that touch a ribbon type cable. It is possible one of the screws on the shield backed out and the connection isn't stable.

To open the iPhone 6 is quite easy if you utilize a iSesamo or iSclack from iFixit. You would just need a pentalobe screwdriver as well as a Phillips and a nylon spudger. Follow the iFixit guide on replacing the digital display on the iPhone 6 and when you have removed the battery cable shield and disconnected the battery and have moved the emi shield and have disconnected the display cables you will be able to access the shield covering the ear speaker. It has 3 screws holding it in, they are Phillips type, check first to see if they are snug(tight) if not that could be the issue.

Just follow the iFixit guide from there. If it still isn't working please contact me, I will gladly help via online if I can.

Easy fix take a toothbrush and clean the ear phone. A toothbrush will brush away the ear wax that has built up blocking the air from moving in and out.

In settings/Cellular I disabled Cellular and LTE then enabled them again, then I used a compressed-gas duster for electonics such as keyboards on my ear speaker and headphone jack. Problem was resolved. I dont know if it was one thing in particular that did the trick or it was all of the above. However, my ear speaker issue was resolved.

I am having a similar issue with my phone. I can't hear other people when I try to use the ear speaker, however they can hear me talking. My speaker phone works fine. On top of this, my front camera isn't functioning, as it won't open and causes the app to freeze. I ordered a new front camera flex cable, as this is what I diagnosed the issue to be. I put another screen (that has a different flex cable assembly) onto my logic board and the earpiece and camera worked fine. To be sure, I even put my ear speaker into this different assembly and it worked on my phone. I get the parts later this week, and will post again with the results of my repair.

I pressed an ear bud in the ear piece not expecting it to fix it But! It did!! It looked clean but I still did it and sounds come back , I think I may have pressed the speaker and got connection again from loose speaker wires perhaps. See if it goes dead again Cheers rowefred for your comment from 10/14/2016 lols 14?

My phone did the exact same thing! Mine is a Iphone 6+ if your phone doesn't have the newest update update it or if it does just restart it I did that and it worked like it as brand new. Try that or even if that doesn't work take it to your nearest apple store. - :)))

reset network settings that fixed my issue.

The voice mail 10 time on-off working with me thanks a lot

Got this same issue and brought my phone to the apple store several hours ago. Tech can't resolve the issue so he gave me a new iPhone 6 plus but I found out after restoring from icloud that the problem still persists. Issue was resolved by resetting the phone again and not restoring from icloud but setting as a new iPhone. At last I could receive and place calls again by not pressing the speakerphone. Problem is I now have to install all my apps manually.

I switched on/off a few times, didn't work.

Thereafter I switched off, removed the SIM card, waited for a few seconds and put it back.

Now it is working. Hope it will stay!

Hi there,

If the LCD is hot up the top as well,you would need to change the whole LCD incl earpiece etc...

Hope this helps

Brake clean on a cue cleaned works fine now

reset your phone. Issue was resolved by resetting the phone again and not restoring from icloud but setting as a new iPhone.
