iphone 7 plus att nightmares

[elkido122]

i have the 7 plus on att. when i am in call with someone else who has a normal 7 and is on att, they say i sound muffled. so i turned off phone noise cancellation and it "kinda" helped but not really. went to the apple store they said same thing turn off phone noise cancellation and it will sound better. so i went with that advice and still seem to be getting complaints.. went to att they claimed there towers are fine and that the sim in my phone was fine as well. what do i do about this i know the intel modems were not doing to well on att. help please anyone. thanks

Call apple and just get a replacement, if they tell you to take it in just say you'd rather send it off.

 

[elkido122]

problem is i've seen people get replacements and same problem so i dont know what to do.

 

[elkido122]

sucks i dont think its fixable. i dont know though

I'd go back to the Apple Store. It's not fixed and you're definitely within warranty

I don't want to assume, but the OP doesn't mention this: Is there a case on the phone and if so, does the issue repeat if the case is removed? I know the Lifeproof cases are horrible with that particular issue.

I have an att 7p as well and have experienced the same problems with muffled voice but only sometimes. My friend says I sound muffled and has a Samsung on Verizon. Talking to someone on att with a 7p they say I sound fine. I will try turning noise cancellation off.

I have seen people getting swap outs and it not fixing the issue so I'm hesitant to even go in and swap it out

As Lee_Bo posted, do you by any chance have a case on the phone? If so, try taking the case off and seeing if there is a difference. I had this problem back when I was using a Lifeproof case on my 5s.

 

[elkido122]

Tried the case off same thing... how many people think it's software related? considering people have changed out there phones to a new one and it still happens. Maybe a conflict with hardware and the software?

 

[elkido122]

To anyone having issues... how many bars did you have when this happened? Was it on lte ?

I'd recommend going back to AT&T. They should be able to troubleshoot both the network and the device and take care of the issue regardless of what it is. I'd start there and let them know you've done everything they've recommended.

 

[elkido122]

What is att going to do? is this not a phone itself issue?

You bought the phone from them, and I'm assuming you're still in the 14 day window. It'd be kind of asinine of them if they won't help troubleshoot a phone doing that out of the box.

 

[elkido122]

Oh trust me this is over 14 days now sorry

I had full bars on lte when people told me I sounded muffled. Switching to speakerphone or bluetooth immediately solved the problem. Switching back to the handset operation brought back the muffled condition.

 

[elkido122]

^^ so how did you fix the muffled sound then?

It's still in warranty. Take it back to AT&T and tell them the problem still persists. And that if they can't fix it you want a replacement. Make sure the mic isn't obstructed.

Won't att make me go to apple anyways for replacement. I've had it a couple months ...
