Just had my Alcatel IDOL 4S phone serviced at the Microsoft Store. After having a problem hearing with the headphones, I rebooted the phone but then ran into a problem with not hearing callers unless the headphones were used, or unless the phone was connected via Bluetooth...
I was told there is a known bug with this phone where the telecoil option is turned on and prevents callers from being heard.
He just went to Settings - Ease of access - More options, and turned Telecoil OFF.
PROBLEM SOLVED...

HELP! I bought the Idol 3 5.5" because the speakers were so loud, now after only 7 months I can't hear people talking when they call or when I play YouTube videos! I have tried tapping the speakers and canned air and still can't here $#!+ it is so frustrating! I usually have new phones for 2 years before problems show up. What can I do about this? Please let me know what I can do to fix this.
Thank you very much for your help,
BZ
