Continued audio issue with iphone

So, I reported on here about a month ago how using headphones with my iPhone was a problem because sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't I was "informed" by some readers that it was a third party headphone issue etc and so forth.
Yet, I've been using the offical headphones since and I'm still having the same issue. SOMETIMES I can't hear audio, sometimes I can. There's no replicatable circumstance that causes it. Restarting it doesn't fix it, and to make matters worse, any time I can't hear through them while making a phone call, I can turn on the iPod and hear everything just fine.
Clearly this is a software issue and it's really leading me to ditching my iPhone. There's no excuse for this.
It's bad enough to have to deal with AT&T's shoddy service (dropped calls, late voicemails, terrible EDGE service) but to have to deal with this on top of it makes me wish for the days of my RAZR.

I have the same problems with my 3GS which is just over 2 years old now.
I have updated to ios5.0.1but there is no improvement.The problems started a couple of months ago (ios4..) but is now getting more frequent.
It seems to crash most often after I open an app that uses location services so I have just turned that off to see over a couple of days if this is the cause.
Often, like yours, the battery is displayed as empty and requires plugging in to restart it and then a few minutes later the battery is displayed as nearly full!
Did you resolve your problems in the end? My next step is to maybe replace the battery or as a last resort buy the new 4GS but I really wanted to wait for the next model before replacing this one.

  • Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5?

    Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5? Speakerphone works but not the mic, on phone calls and memos.
    Took it to local Genius campus and after taking off the back screen and case, they blew air into the mica and it worked for about 20 mins.
    I can't have a ready can of air around every time the mic goes out.
    Anyone else had similar issues?

    I am having a similar problem. I had the iPhone 5 delivered yesterday. On most of the calls I tried, the person on the other end could hear me just fine on speakerphone, but not on the regular mic. It was garbled, or I would cut in and out. I could always hear the other person clearly.
    I just got back from a Genius Bar appointment where they gave me an entirely new phone. The issue exists on this one also, though now it seems like the audio is more muffled than garbled or spotty. Again, speakerphone works, and I can hear the other person clearly.
    I had originally restored backup from my 3GS, but before I went to the Genius Bar I restored to factory settings just to be sure it wasn't a software issue (it wasn't, apparently). I did not restore from the old phone for this new handset either.
    Thanks for any suggestions...frustrating, for sure!

  • I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect honda CRV

    I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect to my honda CRV

    Don't know if you could consider this an Apple issue. I know you are probably frustrated, and I am not defending Apple here, just saying that the iPhone does not update to support individual automobiles, the automobile manufactures update to support the Bluetooth profiles.The iPhone has the latest Bluetooth stack and supports a number of things. Problems generally revolve around the manufacturer not supporting the lastest Bluetooth version and have to update their systems. Check with Honda, they are probably aware of this, and if you search the forum, you will find a number of posts regarding the CR-V.

  • Vista 64, Latest Driver & X-Fi Elite Pro: Audio issue with Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Pes 20

    Hi,i have formatted XP S.P.2 and now i'm using Vista Ultimate 64.I have got an X-Fi Elite Pro and i have installed all the applications using the CD-Rom.I updated the driver, Alchemy and Mediasource to the latest version.The system is totally clean and updated (I used Windows Update when i finished to install Vista and nothing was installed). I would like to know why i cannot play Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 like in XP: when i enter in the game i have a noise (looks like the noise of the needle in old gramophones...) and i cannot use the speakers (Creative ProGamer G500).If i turn the volume to 0 i can hear it too... i have to switch off the speakers or exit the game to delete it.Is it another bug I tried to uninstall and doing a new installation of the game but... no way men... Thanks p.s.After year and 4 months (release date of Vista) is it possible to have a decent driver... The Audio Quality in Vista Ultimate 64 bit is lower than in XP and the same wave files have distortion with the low and middle-high volume (60-70).
    Problems that i have never had in XP... i cannot reinstall XP another time. I bought Vista in 2006 and i cannot use it till you'll release a good sw.
    Have we to wait till 200 for a fuc.ing working driver
    My Hw.: Intel Core 2 Quad 6600, DFI Lanparty DK, 2GB DDR800 Team Group, X800XT 52MB, Enermax Noisetaker 600W, Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, Creative ProGamer G500, Plextor PX76SA, Logitech G5 and G5.

    The problem is now official: other customers have problems with some games (Pes 2008 and Crysis in particular). I'll show u the main italian hw. forum. There is a thread of more than 500 pages just about Creative X-Fi: http://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showth...42043&page=550 I would like to know if u test drivers before sharing... because i don't know what you did in more than year.You should meditate, people... I paid more than 400 $ for an Elite Pro and after year and 4 month i cannot install Vista 64 too for audio issues with mp3-wave files and Pes 2008 or Vista 32 bit for problems with Pes 2008. This is my latest Creative product, you can trust.

  • Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

    Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

    Not sure why you would be led to believe that has anything to do with storage.
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Sound / Audio issues with Google Chrome

    Hi guys,
    I have this audio issue with a new Macbook Air (2013 base model).
    When I stream audio / video (eg podcast, YouTube, NBATV) via Google Chrome, there is the static or clicking sound which you could hear both through the built in speakers and through the headset.
    Brought it in to the Apple Store yesterday and they acknowledged the sound on Chrome.  HOWEVER when using Safari, this clicking / static sound is no longer audible.  I can probably record an audio clip to demo this further.  The genius concoluded that this is probably an issues with Chrome or codecs that its using rather than the actual laptop.  No replacements at this stage. 
    I have an old MBA 11” where this issue does NOT occur.
    The hesitation in using Safari is Flash.  Some video streams such as NBATV, which I watch quite frequently use Flash. Chrome handles this quite well, with no separate installs required. 
    Has anyone else encountered this?  Not sure if I can pursue this issue further with Apple.

    Chrome shockwave flash plugin issue causing sound problems on the macbook:
    Shockwave Flash 11.5 r31    (old version)
    Shockwave Flash 11.5 r502
    disabling r31 solved it.
    Many people have checked their chrome plugins and found they had two plugins enabled. They disabled the older one and audio is perfect.
    -Go to chrome://plugins
    -Click and expand +Details in the Upper Right
    -Check over the flash files.
    -One is version 11.3.31.222
    -Disable the odd version and reload the flash content
    For some reason, CHROME has allowed two flash plugins to be enabled at the same time, and clearly the older version is the one causing the problems.
    go to "Chrome://plugins" tab. Click “Details” at the upper-right corner of the page.
    Find “Shockwave Flash” listing for the integrated plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Disable” button. To identify the integrated plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
    Find the “Flash” (or “Shockwave Flash”) listing for the system plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Enable” button. To identify the system plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
    disabling Shockwave Flash 11.4 r31 resolved the problem for most people.
    When people double checked: if they re-enable Shockwave Flash 11.4 r31, ....the distorted / broken audio happens again.
    Hope that solves it for you

  • Facetime Audio Issues with Logitech Webcam

    I have been experiencing audio issues with Facetime with my Apple Mac Mini A1283 and Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 ever since I upgraded to Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.  The webcam worked fine before upgrading to OSX 10.10 and 10.10.1. During Facetime calls my the video works okay, but the audio makes me sound like "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and the other person on the receiving end sounds high pitched, as well.  Other apps work just fine (i.e. Skype), just Facetime.  I tried upgrading to 10.10.1, but the issue has yet to be resolved.  Apparently I am not the only one experiencing this issue.

  • Bluetooth issues with iPhone 5

    Is anyone experiencing connection issues since updating?  Since updating iPhone 4 w/iOS 6 I've been experiencing Bluetooth connectivity with VW Jetta 2012. Now I have the iPhone 5 & it's still an issue. Which leads me to believe its the iOS 6 update. It works and then it doesn't. Very frustrating. And in most cases it connects but allows no controls using car stereo as before. All you see is "Bluetooth audio" on car stereo dash.

    My Harman Kardon BT Headphones keep cutting out intermittently.  I found that the music would stop streaming to the headphone but it would continue playing on the phone.  To get the music back I had to keep pressing the play button on both my iphone and headphone and it would eventually come back.  Is it an issue with the 5 or is it my new headphones?
    Had issues too. RESET my Jawbone Icon per online PDF and removed from iPhone and re paired no problem now.

  • Bluetooth buggy issues with iphone 5s after ios 8 upgrade

    I am having issues with my Handsfreelink in my 2013 Honda Pilot after the ios 8 upgrade.Basically, music works the phone does not. 
    What I have tried:
    1) Hard reset
    2) deleted and re-setup all bluetooth settings on both phone and car
    I suspect this is a bug in ios8 that needs to be addressed. On a sidenote I am also unable to plug my phone into the USB port on the car, now says unsupported.

    The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback.  I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
    I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6.  However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically.  I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car.  Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device.  So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it.  YMMV

  • Audio quality with iPhone 5 new earphones is not good while making calls.

    I have new Factory Unlocked iPhone 5 with new earphones. These earphones are pretty smooth while listening to music. When it comes to making calls there is lot of noise background or a sort of amplifier sound and both the ends the audio is not clear. Did any one face this issue with new earphones with iPhone 5? if so, what is the solution for this? Can any one help me resolving this issue as I am the extensive user of iPhone 5 with new earphones? Thanks in advance.

  • After pairing blue-tooth audio adaptor with iPhone, what next?

    I have paired my Logitech bluetooth audio adaptor with my iPhone 4.... the adaptor should convert audio output of my TV into bluetooth signals.... I expect to use an earphone to pick up those signals from my iPhone. But I don't know how to proceed.

    Hi Icygator,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    If I understand your post correctly, you are having issues with pairing your iPhone 6 via Bluetooth to your truck.  To troubleshoot this issue I'd like you to please follow the steps in the article below.
    If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit
    Take care,

  • Issue with iPhone 5 (AT&T) when reconnecting to LTE.

    I recieved my iPhone 5 (on AT&T) a few days ago and have noted an issue with the LTE connection when you try to reconnect after loosing my signal.
    In the morning, for example, I will have a good LTE connection, then I go to work where the cell signal is fairly spotty, at best, in the building. I will notice my signal switch to Edge (not even 3G...but Edge, of all things). Then when I leave work the phone won't reconnect to LTE, even after toggling the LTE and cellular data on and off. It just sits on Edge and won't even load my email. I have to restart my phone to get a connection again.
    Has anyone else had this problem? I hope it's just a software issue that can be fixed with a future (hopefully a near future) update.
    (And don't go using the "AT&T is horrible" argument. I have a good number of friends would would say the same of Verizon. It's a weak argument...like playing the "race card" in a debate.)

    After talking to an Apple rep, I first tried reset teh network settings, but that didn't have any effect. Then I went and completely reset the phone to factory spec and restored the phone...which seems to have done the trick. Now I'm getting and holding a strong 4G connection in the stockroom that previously completely killed my signal.

  • Audio issues with HDMI connection

    I just bought a toshiba 40l5200u (40'' 1080p) and I'm having issues with connecting my macbook pro to it with a HDMI cable. The picture looks fine and everything, but the audio is horrible. The bass specifically sounds terrible, very gravelly if that makes sense. Dialogue is usually fine, but when something loud, for example, happens in during a movie the audio (bass mostly) gets very distorted, scratchy, and just a pain to listen to. The audio sounds perfectly fine when I play a DVD through a dvd player, so it the speakers on the tv don't seem to be the problem.
    I was originally using a "Cable Matters Gold Plated Premium Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt to HDMI Male to Male Cable in White 10 ft" (here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CADYDO/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1). I thought the issue might be with the HDMI cable, so I recently bought a "PNY A-DM-HD-W01 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter" (here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007B6YPAM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1) and another HDMI cable, "BlueRigger High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet, Supports 3D and Audio Return" (here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XM9774/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&p sc=1) but that didn't fix the problem at all.
    What I can deduce is that the problem isn't with the tv's speakers. Other than that though I have no idea. Any suggestions on what to do? I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

    It sounds like a software problem. Try updating your Flash software and your audio drivers.

  • Apple TV buffering issues with iPhone 4s and iPad 2

    Hi all,
    I just got me an Apple TV 2nd gen (yeah, I know, ordered 2 days before the presentation of the new one). So far so good, the device is up and running, connects just fine to my Airport Express router and all.
    However, if I try to stream a video from my iPad (2) or my iPhone (4S), the results are quite horriffic. The iPad videos would buffer for a very long time before they start and then quite fast after that the buffering problems restart. It's pretty impossible to play a video fluently of more than 20 seconds. If I'd try from my iPhone it's even worse with videos being 1080p, the thing just never plays, eventually the preloading process stops on the mirroring mode is cut.
    I have to point out, all my devices are in the same room (WiFi) so the signal is the best it can be.
    This is honestly quite surprising AND disappointing to be honest, given I bought the device mostly for that, so I can stream videos from my phone and pad.
    Tell me, am I doing something wrong, or the video streaming over those devices is just a marketing gimmick with nothing real behind it?
    Would it matter if I change my router from Airport express to Airport extreme?
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
    Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
    and plays properly.
    Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
    Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
    I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
    Thanks again.
