Brand new iPhone 4 earpiece not working

Hi all,
I bought a fully unlocked iPhone 4 a few days back, I din't have a micro sim so I waited till today to activate the phone, I was checking the phone and found that earpiece is not working, I mean, I'm not able to hear anything on call, Calls through speaker phone is working and calls through earphones are also working, but the earpiece doesn't work, My phone is under warranty but the nearest Apple service center is 5hrs away from my place, just wanted to know if it's a software glitch or hardware problem.

If the device is in fact new, it is highly unlikely that it is running iOS 4.3.1.
Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.
Upgrading to the current version of iOS would also be a good thing to try.
If none of that resolves the issue, then it is hardware related.
Either return to the place of purchase for exchange (since you should still be within the return/exchange period) or take it to Apple.

New iphone 5 not working properly

Why my iphone not showing the plug icon on battery even it is 100% charge ,lightning icon is not changing .and also the rotation of the screen is not working ..what should i do?its is new just used it for one day.

If it is that new, I'd suggest you take it to your Apple Store so they can assess it and/or show you how to put it thru its paces.

Brand new iMac does not work wirelessly

This is a very strange situation and I don't know how much to be concerned about it.
6 weeks ago I bought the first of two brand new iMacs. We have two old G4s both wired into a Netgear wireless router, plus the printer. The first new iMac when switched on, immediately found the Netgear and has worked perfectly, wirelessly, ever since. As it should.
Less than a week ago I bought the second new iMac, which is identical to the first. I put it on the _same desk_ as the Netgear, therefore a distance of only one foot. Straight out of the box, it worked wirelessly to register itself with Apple.
Since then, it has only worked wirelessly very intermittently, and then very slowly indeed. I was wasting far too much time trying to figure out why the wireless did not work, and eventually wired it into the router too.
I was attempting to set up a network with 2 old G4s wired in, and 2 new iMacs wireless. Now I have 3 wired in and one wireless.
Is there something wrong with the second brand new iMac? Or is there some line I should be pursuing with Netgear?
I have written all the IP addresses down in case anyone responding - and I sure hope SOMEONE responds! - thinks that this may be a clue.
Many thanks in advance to all and any replies.

Update: I'm posting this in case it helps others......
I phoned the software support which comes free for 90 days with a brand new iMac.
The bright young man there instantly knew what the problem was, because he'd seen it all before. There's nothing wrong with the iMac and it has nothing to do with IP addresses.
I have to go into the Netgear configuration screen and Enable MAC filtering. This means I'll give the router the hardware addresses of the two iMacs and it will then allow both of them to communicate wirelessly - but no other devices which might be lurking in the vicinity.
Sounds good to me.

Brand New Digitizer Does NOT work...

Hello, Im using an old Plam M505 to give me information VIA diagnostics on my car, just simple text. I bought it brand new never turned on flawless, and when I went to turn it on, The digitatizer does not work. Im stuck at the very first screen "use the stylis to tap the screen and continue" I tapped it, nothing, I can power no and off and dim and brighten the screen with the power button when its plugged in, but thats it. I charged it and it doesnt turn on unless plugged in. If the battery was never used and has been sitting there for 8 years its probibaly dead huh? also would that cause my digitizer to not work? Oh also when I push the application buttons it just beeps a little. One more thing the software does not recognise it, so I cant even access it through that.
Post relates to: Palm m505

Hello dsmcraze, Welcome to the Palm Support Community!
Always the first thing to try in any PalmOS "hiccup" is a Soft Reset. Gently press the tiny "Reset" button on the back of the device to reboot it. No information will be lost.
Did you fully charge the device for 3 hours before using it? Try plugging it into the charger and tap the Reset button. This theoretically should reset the charging circuitry that monitors the "full" level.

Brand New iPhone 4 not turning on.

Basically the title says it all, I've plugged it into iTunes and it recognizes it as an iPhone but it makes a beeping sound every 5 seconds and still doesn't work.

Try forcing it into recovery mode, as described in this article. Make sure your iTunes is up to date 11.1.3
iOS: Unable to update or restore
I bought it from a 3rd party.
I see, just like a brand new 2010 Toyota with 60,000 miles on it....

Brand new ipod touch not working like it should??

I have a brand new ipod touch that i got last tuesday.and every downloaded app will stop working after i have had it for about a day..like it starts to load the app then just goes back to homescreen..all pre-installed apps work fine.
but i have tryed restoring my ipod and it doesnt really fix it because all the apps stop working just like before..and i have also tryed deleting and re-installing the apps but is still doing the same thing.
Is there a way to fix this or should i get it replaced??
(i have a 2 year warrenty)

Maybe your using too much Virtual Memory. Try holding the sleep/wake button and the home button until you see the silver apple.

IPhone Earpiece not working

My iPhone earpiece doesn't make any sounds. If I have the headphones in, I can hear a phone conversation, or if i have it on speaker, but when it's up to my ear I can't hear a thing. Is there a way to turn this feature on and off, that i accidentally did, or is this a real problem???

Its a glitch. Try pluging in and unplugging the headphones about 8-10 times and it should clear up.

Brand new Airport Express not working

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I just bought my first Apple (mac book) and got the airport express. Hooked it up, set up my network, etc., and everything was working fine for the first 24 hours. Now, the Airport Express is not working. It is flashing the amber light which seems to indicate no internet connection....when I plug the ethernet wire directly to my laptop from the modem, the internet works. AND, the airport express seems to be working with the laptop (because I see my wireless network name in the menu of networks). Problem is, I can't get on the internet wirelessly anymore....so it seems the airport express is not getting the signal from the modem...but again, the modem is working fine when connected to the computer directly. I tried to reset the airport express and then go through the set up again, to no avail...still that flashing amber light. UGH.
Thanks!

You're very welcome! The key is that DSL/Cable modems tend to "remember" the devices connected to them. The rationale of doing the power recycle is to give the modem an opportunity to "recognize" the newly connected device. Most of the time this re-recognition phase takes just a few minutes, but it's not unusual for it to take hours, and thus, why I recommend overnight to rule out any other issues.

Earpiece on new iPhone 4 not working after upgrading to 4.2.1

I purchased my first Apple product (iPhone 4) 3 weeks ago with firmware 4.1. Finally I decided to upgrade to 4.2.1. Now when making a call I can't hear a tone or anyone talking to me. Switching to speaker works fine and so do the earbuds when connected. I read many have had the same issue and they just plugged/unplugged their earbuds a few times. Seems the iPhone forgets that the earbuds were unplugged. I tried the same and it didn't help. There is nothing stuck in the jack either. Now what?

I'll lay odds there's a piece of lint or something stuck in the headphone jack. Take a look and try to get it out with a pin or something. Happens occasionally, pretty much always to men as opposed to women. Mainly because we tend to carry our phones in our pants pockets instead of a purse.

I just got my brand new Iphone 4 at work!! Can I create an itunes account and get it started (no music files here at work)....then when i get home- I can fill it with the files I want?? I dont want to wait!!!!

so..basically- can I sync my phone here to get it started, and then continue playing at home? I have no intentions in ever transferring anything from my work computer- but I want to get this up and running!

Read here.
iTunes: How to set up an iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
I know you are impatient but better to wait until you get home and take your time thus eliminating mistakes.
Connect the iPhone to your computer and follow the onscreen instructions. If you connect the iPhone to another computer first, you will have to re authorize your home computer. You don't want to do that.

New iPhone 4 not working

Hi.
I have very upset situation here.
I'm from Russia, i was in Spain so i bought simfree iPhone 4.
When i got back i opened iphone 4. turned it on, connected it to iTunes on my mac, then screen goes black and nothing appeared on the screen then it started vibrating. all the buttons weren't working, i couldn't turn off my phone. In 4 hours it stopped. it doesn't work at all, no charge, no poweron. nothing.
I'm very upset about it. And because i bought in Spain i can't go to local operators.
What can i do in this situation?
Thanks!

You won't get any support for this with the local operators in Russia including an exchange under warranty which sounds like will be needed.
You must return to Spain with the iPhone for an exchange under warranty if needed. If Spain is in the EU, I understand it is now possible to get an iPhone exchange under warranty in any EU country as long as the iPhone was purchased in a EU country.

Brand new apple tv not working. when i turn it on, the apple symbol shows up for a few seconds and then signal is lost but power on the apple tv stays on. i've reset and unplugged several times but same thing happens.

i hooked it up with hdmi cable - doubled checked all connections - connected power cord - set tv to HDMI input - the apple tv comes on and the apple logo shows up - after about 2 seconds signal is lost from the apple tv - the tv screen displays "no signal" - the power light on the apple tv remains on - i've reset and restarted but the same thing keeps happen - the logo shows up then disappears and all signal is lost to the tv

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

Brand new iPhone 4 not vibrating

On Sunday 2nd I got my first ever iPhone yipee! Got it from t-mobile on a 2 year contract. However, as I came to use the phone in silent mode today I realised it wasn't vibrating at all. It is checked as on to vibrate both in silent mode and whenever I recieve a message or call in normal mode and yet I have never felt it vibrate. I downloaded the ibrate app and sure enough this didn't vibrate. From reading around I've tried leaving the app running, tapping the back of the phone all to no avail
Even though I didn't buy my iPhone from apple should I still be booking an appointment at the genius bar or should I speak to someone at t-mobile first? If I go to apple is it likely to need to be repaired/replaced and how long should I expect these processes to take?
Thanks for any help :3

Wow... talk about a whiny little brat.
Name one other company that would not require the user to return defective product to the place of purchase for exchange or refund?

KEYBOARD BACK LIGHT for a brand new P55T-A5202, not working

hi could any one assist on this I just bought a P55T-A5202 laptop which has backlit feature, I have tried to turn it on but it doesnt seem to work. I have enable a keyboard function key to show in the monitor everytime I enable the back light, pressing FN +Z and it shows Back light ON, OFF and timer .. but the keyboard back light never turns ON. does anyone have any idea.. perhaps the BIOS. everything else is working OK

I have a p55t-a5202 that has a backlit keyboard. I purchased it used about a week ago. Initially the keyboard's backlight didn't work. I simply powered down, the up again, and it began to work. However, I can't toggle it off and on with the Fn + Z key. Any thoughts? I have upgraded all drivers including the Fn key driver for the touch pad and keyboard. I can toggle the touchpad on and off, but not the keyboard's backlite. Also, I have noticed the following about the keyboard: 1. On the top row of keys, the upper functions only are illuminated. The lower functions (F1, F2, ........ Pause) are not. Is this normal?2. I also noticed that the Fn key, and the spacebar do not illuminate. Is this normal?
