3 year old iPhone 4 has a crackling sound when calls are made and caller can't be heard

My iPhone 4 has been giving me problems via the earpiece it seems. When I make calls, it starts crackling until I hit the earpiece area till the sound is gone. But when its clear, I can hear the person over the phone but the person can't hear me. I have to hit it a few more times on the earpiece to actually get them to hear me. My mic works fine as sending voice messages are no problems. Anyone else going through this problem and had a solution to this (besides buying a new iPhone - Still waiting for iPhone 5s to be in stock) Hoping for some help on this. Thank you.

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

I just recieved a notification that says "your iphone has been hacked. All your photo's and calls are compremised"..... Should I be worried?

Hi all,
I just recieved a notification that says "your iphone has been hacked. All your photo's and calls are compremised"..... Should I be worried or is this a very pathetic attempt of a hacker? Please advise as soon as possible. Below is a screen shot.
Thank you for your help.

Is your phone jailbroken? If not, just ignore/delete the message...it's a Flash SMS, & nothing but spam. If your phone is not jailbroken, you have nothing to worry about.

My iphone 5 makes crackling sounds when calling using headset

when using headset to make phone calls or facetime, after a few mins or so crackling sounds can be heard from both sides of the call, ive tried various headsets and the same issue occurs, also tried a new sim card. this problem only occurs when using headset only.
i have been to apple and have swapped the handset but yet again the same problem.. i am not the only one experiancing this as ive read other forums n its a common problem. APPLE needs ro fix this asap

i will try that. Has this problem happened to you? All they said at the genius bar was that my 1st iphone 5 might if had a faulty headphone jack, im thinking if going back and getting handset swapped again to see if the problem occurs

My iphone has a loose sound when you shake it

hi guys before I go to apple store i just want to know if you guys experiencing my problem with my iphone 5 when you shake its like there something loose sound coming from the camera (i hate it so much )because i pay for this phone

I don't think the two are related. The noise is most likely the camera's autofocus mechanism and is normal. Wifi issues are not normal. Search this forum for iP5 wifi issues to look for solutions.

My iphone has a different AppleId (without an email address) and I can't find the password, but it keeps wanting this old id for app updates.

When I add a new app on my iphone I see the correct AppleId, but later when I try to update the app, I am shown an Id for which I have no password. When I try to reset,I never receive an email. Even if I remove the app and reinstall it (these are free apps), it happens again and again. Anyone have this problem and a solution?

Are you trying to update old apps? Those apps would be tied to your old apple ID, the one you use to purchase the apps.

What to do when changes are made and refresh doesn't show the changes?

I'm new to SCSM and I have created some lists in authoring tool and when I go into console to edit them they are not showing up. Even after refresh. Also creating some new incident views for support groups are not showing up until I restart the Management
server. Is there a service or something I can restart that will make changes take affect faster?

the poster is editing in the console, so no MP import/export should be required, that being said, the console does do a lot of caching, so if you don't see something, you might need to restart the console.
you can restart the three or four Services marked "System Center", you should ge the same effect as restarting the server. that being said, restarting the server should not be required. if restarting the management services is really required,
then there is probably some performance issue with your database or some performance issue with your workflow (first) management group server.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

I have changed batteryes before(sort off the same problem) at a different time off the year. it was during winter last time i got these issues.

Hi okgames,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it can be both concerning and frustrating if your iPhone will not turn on or shuts off randomly. In your situation, I would suggest reading over the attached article and try the troubleshooting steps provided to ensure all steps have been completed before considering a hardware repair.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Have a great day,
Joe

Apple has placed a temporary authorization amount hold in my card for repair. My old iphone has been received by apple. how long does it take to release the amount?

Apple has placed a temporary authorization amount hold in my card for repair. My old iphone has been received by apple. how long does it take to release the amount?

How long it takes depends partially on your bank. Once they release it, it could take several days for the authorization to roll off of your account. It is generally not a problem unless you're using a debit card, which will lock the funds in your checking account and make them unavailable, which I presume you did or you wouldn't be worried about it.
This is not unique to Apple. That's a problem when using debit cards for any purchase. Several years ago, when gas prices spiked to $4 a gallon here, gas stations would routinely authorize and hold upwards of $100 every time you tried to pay at the pump. Created some major headaches for the working stiffs just trying to get to their jobs and pay the bills.

Crackling sound when tilting MacBook Pro

Just his morning my MacBook Pro (about 2 months old) started making a crackling noise when it's tilted (like pulling it out of my laptop bag).
I've done some searching and some suggest it may be the Sudden Motion Sensor, but my MacBook Pro has a solid state drive, so it shouldn't need that, correct?
Any clue as to what this might be?
Thanks in advance.

Lay the closed MBP upside down on a flat tabletop and press gently on its bottom pan with a thumb, working systematically over the entire surface square inch by square inch until you identify the area within which pressure produces the sound.
There is a spring-loaded grounding contact inside the bottom cover that connects something to the bottom cover and thence to the computer's chassis, and it has been reported to make a scratching or scraping noise when the bottom cover is pressed in — as it is when you grip the machine to lift it out of a case.
If your sound doesn't fit this description and the above exercise doesn't produce it, and it only occurs when you change the orientation of the machine in handling it, then I would be concerned that there may be a loose screw or part rattling around inside it.

My iphone 4s is no longer making sound when i have an incoming call or message after installing ios7.... any help?

My iphone 4s is no longer making sound when i have an incoming call or message after installing ios7.... any help?
It still vibrates but no calling sounds or message sounds. It's not on mute and the speakers are working... I can hear music etc.
Oh yeah no keypad noises either.

Same thing has happened to me. I have tried every trick that's been posted here. I just ran out of options. Galaxy phone is starting to look better by the minute.

Hey 24DubliN,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad 2 in relation to sound. To troubleshoot the microphone on your device, see the following resource. While titled for iPhones, most of the steps are applicable for your iPad as well:
