What should I do if I can not hear my interlocutor on the iPhone 6? Reasons and solution of the problem

Modern phones have long been not used for their intended purpose. Now it's a music player, video and camera, GPS-navigator, etc. For conversations, of course, phones are used, but less often than before. But even if the "Iphon 6" is hard to hear the interlocutor, then this is an excuse for the owner's excitement. Such expensive gadgets from Apple should work properly.

Unfortunately, not one phone is insured against this. Even the new flagship of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are subject to this risk.

Adding volume

Let's start with the banal. Inexperienced users during a conversation simply make the speaker sound quieter by involuntarily pressing the volume down button on the sidebar. In this case, you do not even need to open the "iPhone 6" settings. To set the maximum volume, you need to call someone and already during the call, increase the volume with the side keys.

Judging by the reports on different forums, many users are helped and simple action: insert and pull out the headset. If it helps, it's great, but if not, then we go further.

Transport film and covers

Another reason: the transport film. After buying a new smartphone on the screen, there is always a film that people for some reason do not shoot. They do this allegedly in order to preserve a beautiful appearance, but this film can simply cover the speaker, which will make it hard to hear the interlocutor.

Covers can also block the sound. Usually they have a hole for the speaker, but it is sometimes clogged with debris. Try to clean it and test the phone again.

Clean the mesh of the speaker

If the mesh that closes the membrane and serves as some kind of protection against debris could clog, then to clean it, you need to use cotton wool with rubbing alcohol or a toothbrush. Also try to blow it out and take out the garbage.

If the cleaning helped, then it's fine. True, dirt accumulates not only from the outside, but also inside. Therefore, sometimes the phone must be disassembled in order to clean the garbage from under the net.

For disassembly, special "asterisk" type screwdrivers are used. Most likely, you do not have them, so you'll have to contact the service center. If the necessary tool is there, then you can try to remove the cover yourself. But do it carefully so as not to hurt and tear off the train.

Did it help? If not, we will look for the cause.

We search for the reason

It is important to remember, after which it became hard to hear the interlocutor on the "iPhone 6". For example, after the gadget fell out of hands or you overturned a glass of water on it. It is possible that the speaker got into the sand after resting on the beach. Violating his work could have been anything, but most often the owner is to blame. The dynamics themselves are extremely spoiled. After all, this is a simple module, in which there is really nothing to break.

Unfortunately, units of users can independently repair "iPhone 6". Without special screwdrivers, this can not be done, so the simplest and concise advice is to take the phone to a service center.

And if you remember exactly that the speaker began to work worse after the fall, then you can not particularly rush. However, if you are sure (or at least there is such a possibility) that you detected a bad sound on the "iPhone 6" after getting into the water body, you must immediately disconnect the phone, take out the battery and take the device to the service center. In this case, this is the minimum that you can do useful. Maximum, this is if you also dry the phone with a hairdryer for at least 5-10 minutes. For certain during this time the water will evaporate from the inside. After that, still carry the phone to the master.

If it turns out that the water got inside and closed the contacts, then you have to put a new speaker on the "iPhone 6". Usually it is inexpensive, but with the condition of payment of work it will turn out not so cheap. Also, it can not be ruled out that a contact or a trail has not departed from the fall. In this case, repairs will not be expensive.

Could there be a reason in the software?

Can. The iOS operating system itself is beautiful. It is well-optimized, easy to manage, constantly updated. But now many users have popular jailbreaking. These are special programs installed on iOS. In other words - firmware.

Yes, they open a lot of opportunities for users, including the ability to install cool free programs for which you would have to pay money without jailbroken. But the firmware is an unofficial software, and nobody is responsible for their performance. No need to be surprised that after some jailbreaking the interlocutor on the "iPhone 6" will become hard to hear. And although the problem in the software is solved quite easily, a similar feature takes place.

So it is not recommended without the need to install a different kind of complex software that can harm the system. Well, if the problem with the speaker is of a programmatic nature. In this case, repair "iPhone 6" is not required at all. It will be enough just to install the latest official software through iTunes.

By the way, very rarely there can be a problem even in the official firmware. There have been occasions when new versions of Apple's software have only harmed the phone. Therefore, you can try to "roll back" to a previous version of the software. It is unlikely that this will solve the problem, but it is worth a try.

If nothing has helped

If the removal of the jailbreak and the installation of the official software did not help and still the interlocutor on the "iPhone 6" is not audible, you will have to contact the service center or, if there is no guarantee, in any private workshop.

Well, in case of emergency, simply use a wired one (it always comes with a phone) or a bluetooth headset, and also talk on the speakerphone.
