Sound problems after iOS 4.2 upgrade

Experiencing very poor sound quality after iOS 4.2 upgrade. Bad eq, left channel dropping out, sounds like heavy reverb. Exists with iPod and pandora apps. Tried adjusting eq in settings. Any one else having problems?

Yep I just upgraded to new OS 4.2 on iPhone 4 and I get this static buzz sound when talking to people it's really annoying and sound quality is terrible. What happened? I went back to the shop and they said it's the upgrade and that there is an issue with it. They also said there is no point leaving the phone with them as they can't fix it that it's upto apple to release a patch for the problem. Can we get a fix for this soon before I damage my ears?

  • Dictation problems after ios 8.2 upgrade

    I rely heavily upon dictation.   2 problems occur (at minimum) after ios 8.2 upgrade to iphone 6. .
    1. I wasnt going to add this dictation bug (feature ;-)) b/c couldnt reproduce the seemingly safari bug when got home, but as I was dictating my first sentence for defect here, it happens in this text box on any line. :-(.
        1. Problem is as soon as dictation types in word Or words, when I hit done, it erases what was just dictated!  Happens on even just ine word. (So having to manually type all of this n I stink at typing ie, time consuming).
        2. I can paste characters from noteoad into here...so must be dictation relateD...it seems.
    2.  In the calendar textbox, when I dictate a new event (doesnt happen in location textbox) and the last character before it fills up the end of textbox (just before the "x"), it automatically does "done" for me (the beep sounds), it stops dictating, but more annoying is it will no longer allow me to continue dictating in that new event's top textbox.  That means I HAVE to type n I stink at that. To reproduce I simply:
    1. press the microphone.
      2. Type in only numerics 1 thru 17....it will dictate to look like this:  123 456-789-1011 1213 1415 1617
      3. "Beep/dong" noise because it hits the end of characters alowed it seems n decides it is "Done".
      4.  press the microphone
       5. "Beep/dong" noise because it wont let you dictate any more of anything said.
    I Couldnt find the entry where google shows someone with what looks like same issue/bug/defect/feature # 2, so entering this.
    I Have warranty but cant figure out how to get phone support for iphone (only mac ...last year).
    I don't seem to have this problem using i notepad in phone when he gets to having to wrap. :-)
    I Have not trieddictation on my mac...yet.
    CAn someone help on these issues please? Thanks!

    Hey Markwoody,
    Wow! That definitely sounds frustrating, but good job so far isolating and troubleshooting the issue. We have a few more steps that we can try in an attempt to resolve this issue:
    First, it sounds like you have tried restarting your phone. Let’s try a reset instead:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht201559
    How to reset
    - You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    - To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the issue persists, we’ll want to restore your device to factory settings and test once more. You can backup your device, but be sure to restore it as new first for isolation purposes, as restoring a backup can sometimes restore the same issues that you were experiencing before.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

    Thanks,

  • Clock problems after IOS 4.2 upgrade

    We have 2 Iphone 4 at home, each connected to a different computer ( 1 Mac, 1 PC ).
    After the upgrade to IOS 4.2 both have a problem with the clock. When the phone is put on "update clock automatically" ,the following happens (We live in Belgium)
    -Phone 1 switches to summer time as soon as a connection with the provider is made. If you go to fly mode, or put the clock on manual, the correct time is displayed. This occurs wherever you are so it is not linked to the information provided by the cell tower. After a hard reset and restore, this problem was solved.
    -Phone 2 is even stranger. I was in NYC a few weeks ago and set the clock manually on EST. Back in Belgium everything worked fine until after the upgrade. Now the clock will go to EST overnight, ie when I wake up in the morning at 7 AM, it is suddenly 2 AM in the morning. Here, if you go to manual setting of the clock, then switch back to automatic setting, it works fine again.... until the next morning ! And I don't switch off the phone at night
    I guess a hard reboot + restore will be needed as well.
    Anybody else came across this problem ?

    Since 2 days I have the same problem with my Iphone.
    I also live in Belgium and my phone was all of a sudden 1 hour ahead of our local time. I modified the clock settings to manual and then the time switched back correctly. Today somewhere between 8 and 11 AM I noticed the clock was 1 hour ahead again. I adjusted the clock settings to manual again and the clock is correct again. How come this is happening ?
    It all started since my upgrade to version 4.2.1.
    Can someone please take a look at this ? For the record I use the 3 GS 16 GB version. My provider is Proximus.
    Seems my favorite Apple is starting to look a lot like Microsoft since this is the second major time/clock bug in a few weeks.

  • Problems after iOS 4.2 upgrade.

    Hello everyone, hope you are all well.
    Could use some help to restore my 2G Touch after upgrading it to 4.2 the other day. During the upgrade, all it`s music and all the app`s were lost, but after re-synching only the music and the original factory app`s returned. None of my downloaded app`s ( paid for and free )returned.
    Several e-mails to Apple support and trying their fixes have not solved the problem.
    Any idea`s?. Cheers, Pete.

    After you re-download any App, you probably need to turn the check-mark (for Syncing) back on for each of those Apps.
    Connect iPod and while it is Syncing, look on Device/Apps and after making sure *Sync Apps* is ticked on, look at each individual app on the list below the *Sync Apps* box and make sure they all have a tick in their box.
    By the time you've made any changes here, the Sync may have gone past Apps or even finished completely, so you need to Sync or Apply after your change.

  • I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?

    Hi
    I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
    I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
    Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
    Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

    Hi..
    Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
    If that doesn't help, try this support article >   iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • Problem with 3G network after ios 6.1 upgrade on iphone 3Gs.

    I have a iphone 3Gs and not a 5 or 4 and since my ios 6.1 upgrade it's a nightmare for me.  I meet a lot of reliability issue with the 3G network. Before the 6.1 upgrade it worked fine. My carrier provider is SFR. It seems to be a "bug" only with 3G. Maybe it's the same as 4Gs but not corrected for 3Gs.
    By example I'm using my iphone to join a Free Number to join a confcall system and everytime after sometimes 3 minutes or 15 minutes I'm automatically disconnected - nobody is hearing me and I have to switch off and to reconnect.  Others collegue working with me having a iphone 3Gs meet the same issue as me with 3G network.
    Do you plan to release the 6.1.1 version for iphone 3Gs ? if yes ? when ?

    After testing workaround to disable WIFI when I'm using 3G network. It worked for 1 confcall during 1 hour !! but for the second confcall the duration was only 6 minutes and the network was cut !!! the workaround doesn't work !.
    I'm surprise because I don't find similar issue on Internet with "Reliability of 3G on iphone 3Gs after ios 6.1 upgrade!!".
    This morning during a call this message appears "Could not activate cellular data network".
    Are you in the same case as me ? Do you have a workarounf for me ?

  • CANNONT GET MAIL AFTER IOS 6.0 UPGRADE SAYS VERIFY I HAVE ENTERED CORRECT INFO - BUT THEY HAVNT CHANGED?

    after ios 6.0 upgrade i cannot retrive my emails it says " the mail server .................is not responding. Verify you have entered the correct account info in mail settings."
    but they havnt changed.

    I get the same problem.  My settings haven't changed, etc., all imported across from my old iPhone 3 that worked fine.  I've double-checked everything.  I've even deleted the account and re-established it.  Still doesn't work.  My e'mail provider says that it's not them as all my settings are correct, and I can connect ok via webmail on safari, so it's not them but Apple, which sounds believable.  Can't find a solution.

  • IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls

    iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......

    You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router.  If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone.  All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/
    Edit: Some of us don't have the option of resetting our DNS servers.  I run my own for example for caching purposes.

  • Ipad 4 retina display is slow after iOS 8, also upgrade the the iOS 8.0.1 i think and safari is slow, animations are slow, and i can't restore it to iOS 7, there it was great.

    ipad 4 retina display is slow after iOS 8, also upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 i think and safari is slow, animations are slow, and i can't restore it to iOS 7, there it was great. i mean its like my iphone 4 with iOS 7 in its best days. i hope no to get stuck again, i mean please let me go to the iOS 7)).

    Upgraded my ipad4 from ios6 to iOS 8 because the new WSJ app required it. HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!!! I can maybe understand some apps being slower but not Safari or Chrome. Apple must be throttling back the ipad4 processor even more with ios8 to force an upgrade to the next gen iPad whenever it arrives.

  • I have sounds problems with iOS 7

    I have sounds problems with iOS 7. I can not hear my music, all the apps have no sounds. Only when I ask Siri has sound but it's too loud and awful. I found 2 errors with I ask to Siri what things she can do in Spanish the is an error and one word or If I ask who am I? She said that I have to go to settings and indicate her who I am but I already have that configured. And I try to configure again just in case, I do the same question and she still doesn't who I am.

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Sound problems after export media in premiere pro cs6

    hello,
    i recently started usining premiere c6 and after exported my project to mpeg-dvd i noticed that sound quality is reasonably lost,  than exported sound  separatedly without video to wav and result was the same bad. The imported sound source was really good, recorded in studio- wav 24 bit 48000. Before i used cs3 and never had such a sound problem after export video.
    thank you very much,
    Poly

    It's difficult to speculate without hearing the original and the export.  Can you upload them?

    I lost sound shortly after iOS 6 was down loaded. Sound works with headphones. When no headphones are plugged in and I try to use the volume control on side sound effects comes up but no sound is made. I get sound over main speaker when i adjust alert volume.

    Try this:
    1. Settings>General>Use Side-Switch To>Lock Rotation.
    2. Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right.
    3. Make sure the button on the far left of Task Bar is not muted

  • Sound Problem After Installing iOS 8.1

    Hello, after updating my iPad to iOS8.1 it started making weird noises, kind of the same ones you get while blocking it or getting a notification but with a little of a "robotic" twist. Restoring it seemed to had fix it until I tried to get the 8.1 again. I was just wondering if someone its having the same issue, and if so, whats the solution. Do you think that i'll be treated on the 8.2 version? I had the same problem with my iphone 4 once and couldnt get it sorted out.

    I successfully got my iPhone 6 messages sound by following Timothy Holt directions.
    Thanks Tim.

    What you have to do, and this appears to be essential after you update the OS, is to reboot your phone.
    1. Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button simultaneously.
    2. Let go when the Apple logo appears and the iPhone is booting up.
