Having issues and need assistance

[Dmd74]

So, I was driving to work this morning and received a phone call from my wife. Answered the phone and said hello. Nothing in return. Hung up and kept driving. Spouse called again and the same thing happened. This continued repeatedly until we determined that it was being caused on my end. Calls go thru but there is no volume coming thru the earpiece. I can receive calls on speaker phone with no issues. But trying to have a call other than using the speaker phone does not work. I have tried restarting the phone to no avail. I have checked to make sure that the in call volume setting is up. Still nothing. When I put the phone down last night when going to bed the phone was working with no issues. Then over night something happened. Any thoughts?

I couldn't say why it happened... But a Soft Reset should correct the issue. It is your go to for most any small glitch that creeps in.

Hold the Power button until the phone vibrates and reboots. About 10 seconds. You do not lose any data.

Tried the soft reset to no avail. Attempting a hard reset after a backup. I'll see how that does.

Appears that a Hard Reset may have done the trick.

I had the same problem today. Soft reset did the trick.

Hold the Power button until the phone vibrates and reboots. About 10 seconds. You do not lose any data.

However note you need to hold down the volume down button along with power button to perform a soft reset. Not just the power button.

Understood about the soft reset. Did it but didn't help.

I wonder if this is a systemic issue.

They did institute one button reset a couple of years ago, you used to be able to see it on the now deprecated "Which Features Does My Lumia Support?" Spec sheet. My Idol 4S resets with just the power button...

Doesn't ##777# reset it to without deleting personal data?

Anyway, there is a diag app that you can try to test the top speaker I think. dial ##2886#.

Also, fyi I had to mail mine in for RMA as it blew its own speakers one day while it was booting up. Was kind of bizarre. At the splash log it let out a really bad screech and the speakers were never the same. It is on it's way back should have it by Monday. Guess last resort you can open a ticket with Alcatel.
