Two things:

1. Clean your iphone headset plug with an eraser and/or alcohol. I have noticed they easily oxidize, and get lint, etc. stuck to them.

2. Insert and re-insert the headset plug fully a few times. This will usually remove the junk on the headset plug and make sure all contact areas on the plug are fully seating in the jack. You may have to gently rotate the plug while inserted in the jack as well.

That should do it! I have found with 3.5mm mic/plug combos that many times they need to have the headset jack gently "broken in" as they are a bit stiff when new, and don't allow all the plug's conductors to seat properly until several insertions and removals. Every TP2 I have seen so far fits this description.
