Ear speaker low sound when making calls

Ear speaker low sound when making calls I have a customer that brought his iPhone 6 saying his ear speaker volume was very low and he could barely hear what the other person was saying even in a quiet room. I did some tests and when I use the recorder to record my voice and listen to it through the ear speaker the sound is crisp and clear, I hear very well.

"Most times when I come across this it is a buildup of dirt and oils in the mesh covering the ear speaker on the front panel.

Start by

removing the earspeaker.

Once you have it exposed use a q-tip with isopropyl alcohol to moisten the buildup in the mesh.

Then use a can of compressed air and the sharp tip of the spudging tool to scrape and blow away any buildup. You can hold the panel up to the light to see your progress. It may take a few soakings and shots of compressed air to free all of the buildup."

This may sound stupid, but bear with me. There’s a fine mesh covering the earpiece. It often gets completely clogged with dirt and oils over time. This blocks the sound waves coming from the speaker. If you moisten and suck out the dirt (yeah, some might get in your mouth) this may fix this. I am not joking, search the web and you’ll find that this has been a common issue for older phones.

I went to the Apple Store. They ran a diagnostic to confirm something was wrong. The tech took out a small brush and cleaned the tiny earpiece. Now it works fine.

Try turning off the noise cancellation on the Settings. Also try turning on/off the hearing aid compatibility.

"Omg! People! I thought I had no way of coming back out of a milkshake being dropped on my iPhoneX BUT alas I’m saved!

So first

• wet q tip or ear bud

•put it on your speaker, let the water stay there a bit

•Now here’s the part you need to trust me on! Play a music that has Crazy bass. I played what about me by lil Wayne and it worked so bleh.

• while the song is being played keep your phone in a downright position. the water should fall out of the speaker.

•notice properly cuz the scene is amazing, water vibrates it’s cool. But as the water vibrates and comes out of the speaker, dry it with your dry part of q tip.

See the difference and let me know

i love you Apple users"
