Sudden problems with perception and speakerphone

[Papamalo]

In the past month, I have noticed problems with reception breaking up and sometimes cutting out, using it in the same locations that worked fine before.
Also, I have noticed that microphone goes dead when I have my speaker phone turned on and want to operate hands-free. I'm looking at the actual microphone opening to see if there a something clogging it but it looks okay, and it works fine when I'm not using the speakerphone mode. anybody know what might be causing this?
Thanks

It sounds like a hardware issue. Are you looking on how to fix it yourself? I doubt it is software. Either take it in or go top ifixit.com and do it yourself. They have guides to help you.
