HT201401 Microphone works only when using the phone in hands-free

Microphone works only when using the phone in hands-free (speaker on) mode. Otherwise, only a constant buzz, accompanied by regular clicks (repeating 2-3 times/sec) can be heard by called persons or when recording a memo. Makes Siri unusable, and cannot make private calls unless in a private area. Does anybody have a fix for this?

Okay I just solved the problem myself..
For anyone that may have the same issue:
The microphone used when recording video, is the little dot next to the jack on top of the iPhone 4S (maybe also iPhone 4, don't know). There was some dirt in this tiny little hole, and I simply just removed it with a very thin needle, and now it works great!

When using the phone, I cannot hear except through the speaker phone. Phone is iPhone 4 under warranty. Will a reset or restore fix this or do I need to go to Apple store

When using the phone, I must use the speakerphone in order to hear. Does this require a visit to the Apple store or will a reset or restore possibly fix?

Try this before calling Apple or going to the store.
Open iTunes, and restore the device as NEW. Then test making some calls, if it works, GREAT if not then call AppleCare or an Apple store for an appointment.
Based on experience a restore fixes this issue 99.9% of the time. The .1% is hardware issue based the rest is software based issue

Is there a way to remove the blurred background wallpaper effect when using the phone in iPhone 4S' iOS 7?

Hello.
A few nights ago, my picky client finally upgraded his iPhone 4S' iOS 6 to iOS 7. He doesn't like the blurred background wallpaper image when using the phone feature (e.g., calling and talking). Is there a way to disable this new visual effect like in iOS 6? I am pretty sure this is by design by Apple.
Thank you in advance.

I will tell him about that, but I don't think that would be it if that is related to animation.
We're talking about the wallpaper background that get blurry during the phone screens like http://www.tekrevue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/20130923_ios7emergencycallfla w.jpg (left side) and http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/09/20/ChangingYourTheme.png ... You can see there are background images that got blurred out.

Several of us have a iPhone 6s and are having trouble with hearing and speaking at the same time when using the phone. ? The speakers seem to be too far apart? Are others having this issue? Solutions?

My touch pad does not work only when using Safari browser. The screen was grey. Help!

My touch pad does not work only when I use Safari browser online. The screen was grey. No matter what I do, there is no reponse. Only the web address box works. What is this problem? I can use App Store and everything else fine.
Someone please help.
Thanks

I would try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Safari and delete cache, history and cookies.

The browser back button is not working correctly when using the search funtion in ProBoards forums. Is there a known issue with ProBoards & FF?

I have submitted a bug report to ProBoards, but they cannot duplicate the problem I am having, so I am submitting this here in hopes you can find a solution.
At ProBoards Support and another PB forum while doing searches I found this problem, which continues with repeated testing over the past week or so:
url: http://support.proboards.com/search
1. enter perameters for the search (posts only by staff for the last 2 days)
2. choose one of those post results & click on it (choose a post on page 14 and not on page 1 of the results)
3. using the browser back button, attempt to return to the previous page of search results
4. rather than being taken back to the search results with my parameters, the search parameters have been removed and the page show 1000 results of posts by everybody.
I have tested this over and over again, disabling plugins, and nothing seems to alter the malfunctioning of the back button when I am doing this search function at ProBoards.
I have tested it in Internet Explorer and find that in IE the browser back button works properly with ProBoards searches. I always get the result I expect, so it's a problem with how FF interfaces with ProBoards, I think.

I currently having problems when dialling with my 4S either from the contacts list, or when using the phone through bluetooth to my in-car system. The phone becomes confused regarding what method / route of connection handsfree, normal use or speaker.

Hi each time i use my 4S phone a dial from the contact list, the phone will not select a communication mode, either normal speaker or handsfree (car), I have to force the phone into speaker mode and the back to normal mode before I can speak to or listen to anyone. The annoying aspect is the recipient of my call can answer but cannot hear me nor I them.
What am I doing wrong, or is there an issue with the phone. The same situation occurs when the phone is used with bluetooth in my car, the previous iphone worked perfectly can you please advise.

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information.

Why is my Computer not authorized only when using the remote ?

I am new to Itunes. I have taken a huge collection of my CDs and loaded them into Itunes having it save them as MP3 files. I can from the computer keyboard play any of them just fine. I hooked up the computer to my home theater system (including video hook up) my idea was that I could use the computer remote to control ITunes. However when I select a track using the remote I get a message telling me the computer is not authorized and I need to enter an Itunes store ID number. Whats the deal can ITunes only recognize if you purchase from them, can I not use my own purchased CDs??? -or- am I just doing something wrong? Any ideas would be welcomed, I have loaded about 16,000 tracks of music I already own. It would take forever to play each track so the remote will work. Oh, and it does, if I lay it first from the keyboard then the remote will play that track as well.... wierd

I am on Quick Time 7.1.3
I also tried the Option, choose library, no dice. The library is functioning fine. I plays anything I want if I work directly on the computer. It only gives the "not authorized message when I use the remote control.

AD is NOT working only when using SMB

We have all our user account defined in Active Directory. Our Xserve (10.4.9) is bound to the AD using the forest and domain name. (With "Creat mobile account" enabled)
All Mac end-users can mount AFP shares and using Jabber iChat with their AD account name and password.
But when Windows user tried to mount the shared points with their AD account, they always got message saying "User name or password is not correct", but we know they are using the right name and password. The only way Windows users (or Mac users using SMB://server_name) can access SMB shares are the local users. NO AD users can use SMB.
The same AD users can use AFP just fine.
Anyone might have any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Regards.

E-mail Reply function no longer works -- only when using Firefox. Gives blank compose screen. Have tried settings changes. Have un and re installed firefox.

Problem does not occur when using a different browser.

Is it Yahoo! mail?? Many users have discovered all kind of problems and glitches with Yahoo! mail in Firefox when using an old bookmark saved before Yahoo!'s recent server changes.
I suggest clearing your Yahoo cookies and entering through the main page to get a better address for your current mail server.
To remove your Yahoo cookies -- save any pending work first -- call up the Cookies dialog while viewing any page on yahoo.com (or your Yahoo site). You can use either:
* right-click the page > View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then go to one of these Yahoo addresses and click on login or mail from there:
* Yahoo home page: https://www.yahoo.com/
* My Yahoo page: https://my.yahoo.com/
* General mail redirect: https://mail.yahoo.com/
* AT&T users: http://att.yahoo.com/
* Other country sites (not on .com): the main Yahoo page for your country
Does that help?

The proximity sensor is above the receiver. Hard to see on the black model, but if you look at the white one, you'll see the hole in the glas they left open for it. It can't be fixed by users, get it serviced. Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

When using the phone I hear double.

Internet cuts off when using the phone

The last few days, as soon as the phone rings or as soon as we use it the internet completely cuts off.
We have recently moved the positioning of the router to pick up a better signal and it has improved (still not the best) but now this problem has occured.
Help would be appreciated...

If you have moved it to an extension socket, then that socket may be wired up incorrectly. If you have plugged a phone into the original location of the BT Home hub, have you remembered to insert a microfilter before the phone?

Why do I get a "call ended" alert when using Googles Maps through hands free Blue Tooth service in my car

Why do I get a "call ended" alert after voice directions, when using Googles Maps App with my iPhone 5s paired to Bluetooth service in my GM auto

Hello Snosilla! I'm so sorry for all the confusion and for all the time taken to activate service with us! I do see that the iPhone 5c is $99.99 right now. The iPhone 5s is actually $199.99. There's no need to call Pam anymore, we can take over from here.
I've followed you in the forums. Please accept me, and follow me back. Then, send me a Direct Message and I can look into this for you. If you do not have an active line yet, I may need to get you through to our activations department, but I will do all I can!
Thank you!
