Bose headset no longer works on iPhone 4

My Bose headset, which worked flawlessly on 3GS, no longer works for voice control and voice memos on my new iphone 4. They still work fine as headphones but the microphone no longer is operational. The Apple supplied headset works and if I unplug the Bose set the voice dialing and memos work okay.
But when I use the Bose headset and try to record a voice memo it includes a rhythmic static every half second or so. Voice control is completely non-operational with this headset. I'm thinking something with the noise canceling is screwed up.
Anyone have any possible work arounds?

Ya, this is a bit of a Joke.
I have an $80 pair of skullcandy headphones with Mic that I just recently purchased for my iPhone 3G. When I jumped to the iPhone4 it doesnt work. The apple headset works every time. When I plug in the skull candy, I can hear the person I'm calling but they cant hear me and to add to that, there is this staticy pulsing sound on the line from the headset. If I press and hold the Talk/Music button on my SC headset, the person I'm calling can hear me but they say I sound like I'm in the background. I thought as you did that the mic on the phone was then in use, but when i disconnected the headset, the person I called said it changed and I sounded "Really" far away at that point.
Apple: So how do I fix this? I refuse to carry around two headsets and the apple headset is less than desireable for quality music listening.

  • Wifi no longer working on Iphone 6

    wifi no longer working on Iphone 6

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • Bose Speakers no Longer Work

    I use a set of Bose speakers with my MacBook Pro, and all of a sudden, they no longer work with my MacBook. Not just iTunes, but all sound. I know it's not a problem with the speakers because they work just fine when I connect them to my iPhone and play music. It uses a regular headphone jack to connect to my MacBook. When it's unplugged, music plays fine through my MacBook speakers. When I plug them in, nothing plays--not through my Bose speakers, or my MacBook's. Sometimes, when the speakers are plugged in, when I hit play in iTunes, or something like a YouTube video, I hear a small pop in the speakers, like it recognuzes something is happening, but nothing plays.
    I did nothing to cause this. My MacBook has been sitting on my desk since the last time the speakers worked. If anyone can help me out, I'd be very grateful.

    Nevermind, problem solved. Somehow the output volume got turned down in my system setting.

  • Facebook no longer works with iPhone 4s

    For the last two days my Facebook app on my iPhone 4s no longer works.  I click on it and it tries to open but it just goes back to the screen.  Any idea on how to fix this?

    Do you have the current FaceBook app version installed?
    Any change after a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
    If not, any change after deleting and reinstalling the app?

  • Bluetooth headset no longer work after latest update

    I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset for Skype calling and Ventrillo on my Macbook Pro. Since after the latest update, it no longer works. Both input and output doesn't work and the applications hang for about 30 seconds. I've tried re-pairing the device to no avail. Both applications work if I switch them to the built-in microphone.
    I also tried doing the same thing with a Plantronics 245 and I get the same issue.
    Both headset work with my phone.

    FIXED!!!!
    Steps to UNF*ing your Mac.
    1) Install an app called Pacifist
    2) Download the individual installer for the Magic Touch Update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1066 DO NOT INSTALL THIS
    3) Load your OSX Install DVD
    4) Open the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg in Pacifist
    5) Open your OSX Installer DVD in Pacifist
    6) Look at the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package in Pacifist to see exactly what it installed and where.
    7) Find these SAME EXACT FILES on the OSX Installer and reinstall them as root (e.g. using your admin password when asked)
    8) Repair permissions (Do NOT skip this)
    9) Reboot
    10) MOST IMPORTANT: Never install the update again!!
    Your bluetooth headset will work in skype after this. You will replace EVERY FILE THE MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package installed with one from the DVD. If you can not find it, the search bar in Pacifist works wonders.
    You will get an error if you try to reinstall admin.framework about not having permission to install. This will be the ONLY file you will not reinstall.
    Yes, you have more or less, in a very complicated fashion uninstalled the update (software update shows the Magic Touch update as needed afterwards).
    Find me on Skype, where I will be able to walk you through it from my Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset at james.t.bolin
    In case you developers want to know, I'll give you my play by play. After the installation of the update, it borked the bluetooth causing Skype to freeze. Reinstalling all the original kexts from the installer disk fixed the skype freezing issue, but there was still no audio. In fact, after reinstalling everything in the System>Library folder still left me with no audio, but it would not freeze or cause kernel panics at this point.
    This is where I got the magic. I started replacing stuff in the usr directory. Upon replacing the usr>libexec>cups>backend>bluetooth; usr>libexec>hidd; usr>sbin>blued; and the blue.8 and hidd.8 files, I got audio back and the stars aligned in perfect harmony. I suspect apple needs to retool the kexts and rewrite the root level profiles.

  • Mail Sounds No Longer Work on iPhone 4.

    The sounds for mail, incoming or outgoing, no longer work on my iPhone 4 (4.3.3).  All it does is vibrate even though that is set to Off.   All the other feature settings are set to ON. I have checked all the sounds and they work, they just don't work with the Mail any more.  This is a MobileMe IMAP account.  I tried re-setting everything without deleting data and that made no difference.  The sounds worked perfectly up until a week or so ago.  Any ideas on how to have them function again?  In addition, when I connect the iPhone to my iMac (Snow Leopard 10.6.7) the phone also vibrates.  This is a new feature as well.  Any chance a setting in iTunes might have caused this, and, if so, how to remedy it.
    Thanks!

    Problem solved.  No further action.

  • M4V no longer working on iPhone

    I work for a software company and do the video tutorials. I always export a .MOV version and export an iPhone version using QuickTime's export features. Before the .M4V versions always worked on iPhone, but they no longer work. Not on iOS 4 or iOS 3. However, .MOV files that were exported with a size suitable for the iPhone do work. Can anybody help me with this?

    From iPhone tech specs:

  • Sounds no longer working on iPhone 4

    Hello,
    So a few days ago I dropped my iPhone 4. I'm not 100% sure but I think that is when my sound stopped working. The speakers are working fine, I can hear music and things like that. None of the phone sounds such as clicking when lock/unlocked, keyboard clicks etc are working. When I press the + and - volume buttons the icon does not appear, same as when i mute/unmute it. No sounds, nothing appears. Also, when I receive incoming calls the ringer no longer works.
    I have tried cleaning with toothbrush, restarting, restoring, blowing in the phone, etc.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    I do not have insurance on my phone (I know, I know) but I was in the process of buying a house and moving when they did the switch from mobileprotect to att&t so I apparently missed it and it was too late :/

    I have no doubt that this is a hardware issue, probably caused by the drop as you said. By restarting and restoring without success, you have basically ruled out a software issue. All you can do now is pay $149 for an out-of-warranty replacement, or try to find one elsewhere for cheaper.

  • JBL Radial dock no longer works on iPhone 4 after iOS 5 upgrade.

    This must have sone something as now everythign works fine. all radio and music apps now play through the JBL.
    Hope this helps.

  • Charger cable no longer works with iPhone 5s

    Hello:
       My white lightning iPhone charger cable used to work to charge my iPhone when I plugged one end into a powered USB and the other end into the iPhone.
    Now, if I am lucky, I will get a message stating that this device is not supported by Apple and may not charge this iPhone.
    Is there any setting, to turn off this bypass, so that my charger cable  can be used to charge my phone?
    Or what is missing from my charger cable which allowed it to charge fine in an earlier version of IOS that no longer work in 8.1.3?
    Thanks in advance

    Clean the squashed fluff and debris out of the phone's charging port with a wooden tooothpick or similar. Be gentle.

  • Headphones remote no longer works with iphone 4s

  • Bluetooth no longer works between iPhone 5 running iOS8 and my 2012 Buick LaCrosse

    Since I uploaded the new iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 the Bluetooth connection is no longer working correctly in my 2012 Buick LaCrosse.   The phone pairs (illuminating the Bluetooth icon in the car stereo display) however then it doesn't work.  I cannot receive calls or can't make calls.     The iPhone display shows "Calling" and the number shows, but nothing happens. 
    I tried the suggestion from ChrisJ4203 below, however it did not work for me.
    “Go into the phone and remove the vehicle from the Bluetooth list. Turn Bluetooth off, and do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Then go into the vehicle and remove the iPhone from the list of paired devices. Turn the vehicle off and then back on again. Place the vehicle's system into discovery/pairing mode. Go into Settings on the phone and turn Bluetooth on. The devices should see each other.”
    Any other ideas?   My iPhone worked fine from Jan 2012 to now in this same car.

    We have a 2011 Buick Enclave and the Pairing worked.  I did have to hold the phone button, say Bluetooth, Say Delete, Say the specific device to Delete ...The Pair, I think enter the code (which changes each time you Pair) and then Name the New paired Device.  To test it, I typically have to turn the vehicle off, leave the vehicle and walk far enough away to make sure the phone is not paired.  While away, tune the phone totally off.  Turn the phone back on, enter and turn key far enough to have the electrical systems come on, and then push the phone button in the car.  Good Luck.

  • Headset no longer works with Audigy Platinum dr

    I have a Logitech headset that plugs into the headphone and mic jacks on the Audigy Platinum dri've. On Saturday I had to do some work in my computer, so I disconnected the dri've from the card to get the data cable out of the way.
    This may not be related (I hope not), but I plugged my floppy dri've in wrong and fried the floppy dri've and melted the wire to the PSU. I got a new floppy dri've and PSU. I don't believe the sound card or Platinum dri've were effected because they both work fine otherwise.
    Anyway I no longer get any sound from my headphones when they're plugged into the dri've, but do get sound when they're plugged into the Creative Labs remote control for my speakers. I get no sound from my mic when it's plugged into the mic jack on the Platinum dri've either. I haven't tested it with another jack yet, but assume it'd work.
    I also notice in my Windows mixer, that the option for Line In/Mic 2 is no longer there, either in the main part, or under Recording. Line In/Mic 2 is the mic jack on the Platinum Dri've.
    The Platinum dri've works fine otherwise. I can use the firewire port on it and I know it's receiving power because I can see the red light in the optical connector. To be sure, I went back inside my computer and doublechecked the connections. It IS hooked up properly.
    How can I get the jacks to work again, short of uninstalling/reinstalling the driver? I don't think this is necessary because the sound works otherwise. Thanks all!

    The Audigy dri've works from three different cables. One is the power cable, one is the IEEE394 cable, and the last is the data cable. If the power cable and IEEE394 cables are connected, but the data cable is not fully seated, you will see power from the optical output and the 394 port will work, but the inputs and outputs will not work or be seen by the Windows mixer.
    I would definitely try reseating that data cable. Also make sure that none of the pins are bent. If that doesn't work, you may want to try moving the card to different slots.
