Muffled speaker for hands free and music

I'm having problems with my iPhone 4S speakers. Music sounds muffled and my hands free function can't be heard. Callers complain they can't hear me. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes the iPhone4 is listed for my model as equiped. It does not have all the functionality such as uploading contacts but the hands free should work. My Subaru service depart verified there was no software update listed for my navigation system for using the iPhone4. A quick google of iPhone and bluetooth returns a significant number of message threads. That includes a thread on the Apple forums that is now up to 44 pages. It is not an isolated issue with just Subaru.
I made an appointment at an Apple store today and after describing the problem they replaced the phone a second time. So far during one phone call there were no issues. I have yet to restore a backup so I don't have any contacts or applications on it yet. I will try it for about a while to see if the problem occurs again. If there are no issues I might try loading stuff back on it progressively to determine if it might be a software issue. I shouldn't be dealing with this mess. It is a serious pain in the *** and I have better things to do with my time. If I knew before hand I have this kind of problem I wouldn't be using a mobile phone with an apple on it.

Hi Shirley,
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

However, I don't see a relationship between price and compatibility

3G iphone cannot support video call & bluetooth only can for hand free

Hai... So suprise that the 3G iphone was below expectation. What a disappointment. They cannot even support 3G Video call and worst of all the blue tooth can only be used for hand free.
The software engineer should look at way to develop a more advance software and use.
Problem encounter:
1. We cannot copy and paste our text.
2. Cannot scroll back to the last function we can only press the short cut key to get back to the main page and start all over again.
3. 3G phone that cannot make 3G call
4. Bluetooth function can only use to connect to hand free not able to send photo, music and etc...
5. Cannot forward SMS
Here is some of the pointer. I have not fully explore the hp. totally disappointed and thing there is more. Hopefully more software update will solve this problems.

Hi everyone!
Just a quick update here, but about two days since my original post, I've made a visit to the AT&T store with my dad, even though AT&T has nothing to do with the phone itself. Then the AT&T service employee told us that a hard reset should do the trick. Then before I did a full backup and restoration of my iPhone software, my dad called AT&T with no luck. He also attempted to call Apple, but without success, b/c the phone was out of warranty.
So, as a last resort option, I performed a backup and did a full reset of the iPhone using iTunes to restore the phone back to where it was since the last iOS update, and the last iCloud backup. The result: it was worth the option because the whole phone's WiFi and Bluetooth got malfunctioned sometime few days ago and after that iOS 6.1.3 restoration, I got both the WiFi and the Bluetooth functions working properly!
The next time any iPhone user comes up with this same situation as mine in the earlier post, don't try visiting the AT&T store b/c they won't help with anything with the phones themselves, and backup and restore the whole iPhone as a last resort when every easy solution fails.

i use an old G4 Mac Mini running 10.5 Leopard, and it's on 24/7
it runs in headless mode (ie no monitor) and i remotely administer it using remote desktop (or logmein if i'm out the house).
i have a 1TB WD Mybook hanging off it connected via Firewire and that stores all my itunes content.

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?

I just received an email receipt from Paypal showing a $12.99 purchase from iTunes. I almost NEVER purchase anything over around five dollars in the app or music store. Since PayPal does not show what this purchase was for, I have not received the receipt from Apple yet, and I cannot find anyway to look up online what this purchase was for....I need help to find out ASAP what this purchase was. If my account has been compromised or if I have been incorrectly charged for something, I would like to get the issue handled immediately. I do not want to install iTunes on my PC (nor should I have to for Pete's sake), but I cannot see anything recent at all in my app or music history on my iPad (not that I would ever purchase anything for $12.99 anyway...I just don't). Thanks in advance for any tips!

No.
If my account has been compromised
If you even think this may have happened, immediately change your password.

I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.

Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing. Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade. The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back. When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again. Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

IPod as backup for my photo and music library

May I use iPod as backup device for my photo and music library in case of my iMac failure? Is this tested and recommended solution?
Thanks, Jan

This is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music/photos would be erased. If you no longer have them in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music and other data would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a different form of back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music and photos.
At the very least back up your music/photos to either cd or dvd before deleting them, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.

My sounds have stopped working for text, YouTube and music

My sounds have stopped working for text, YouTube and music since in downloaded new software!

I'm not sure if this will help, but I went into my sounds setting and made sure that both the "vibrate on ring" and "vibrate on silent" were selected to "on." Once I did this, I was able to get the vibrating notification for a call received (as this had previously not been the case). Hope this helps.

HT204368 Using iPhone 4S in car for hands-free calling

I am having real trouble using my iPhone 4 S to make hands-free calls from the car. The combined earpiece and microphone I have always used without problem on my Nokia keeps getting silly results with Siri!
I just want to be able to make and receive calls using my Contacts List, and get Siri to recognise my voice when I ask for someone on the Contact list!
If I say I want to speak to 'Stephen Farley' it will come back with 'I don't see Stephen Bali in your contact list'!
Maybe I am doing something wrong?!
Also, will the 'voice regonition' work if Siri isn't working because it's out of contact with the internet?
I just need a simple connnection to my Contact List, without all the fancy options of Siri - which are just a pain!
Any help gratefully received!

I have one of those stereos bought from Ebay, no badge, no name, and with multitude of functions,and a mic attached to my visor. Once it is paired with Iphone, all my music and calls go through the car stereo.
for applications that do not direct Audio through BT such as CoPilot (GPS navigation) I connect the Iphone through headset socket and into the stereo AUX input and works great (all sounds, voice,calls) go through it. One disadvantage of this method is that I can't listen to the radio. Well you cannot have it all. Or perhaps there is a Radio application where it plays in the background while I still use my GPS application.
