Does your ear piece on the phone rattle?

my volume is set to about mid level on the ear piece built into the phone itself. when i first listen to the ATT voice setup automated voice, I noticed it was rattling the the phone speaker.
Then someone called me, and sure enough, it sounds like a crackle, or rattle in the ear piece. Turn it down where I can barely hear it, and it stops the rattle.
F

no problem here (or hear) - or with anyone I have talked too that has one. Mine sounds fine.
Here's how you fix it. Drive to your local Apple store and ask them to replace the phone with a non-rattle version. Maybe that one was designed for young children or snake wranglers in west texas.

  • New Mail Notification Buzzing in your ear while on the Phone

    Has anyone else had this problem...?
    I find it strange that the phone buzzes in your ear while on the phone when a new email arrives. I find myself having to ask the person on the other end to repeat themselves when in the middle of a conversation and all of a sudden "...BBBUUUZZZZ..."...
    Has anyone come across this, and/or figured a way around it...?
    BTW- Love the phone...

    Good Ideas, but it would seem that the phone would be "silent" while on a call, except for another call, of course...
    Just an observation...

  • The ear piece on my phone has gone quite

    Ive had my iPhone 4 for nearly 2 years & all of a sudden the ear piece has gone very quite I've turned up the volume without success any suggestion please.

    "ear piece" - do you mean the ear speaker on the phone or the headset?  You need to provide more specific detail, including what troubleshootings steps you've tried.

  • My iPhone 4S on iOS7 is stuck on Apple Logo, and it goes off, then back to Apple Logo again for hours. Pressing home button together with sleep button does not help. Plugging the phone to Mac and restart does not help either. What do I do?

    Have not backed up for months, so prefer not to lose the data.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Click the Update or Restore button that iTunes offers.

  • The lock button and screen on my iphone 5 are broken, does apple repair this if the phone is under warranty?

    The lock button and screen on my iphone 5 are broken, does apple repair this if the phone is under warranty?

    Yes, if the screen is not cracked, this will be handled by Warranty. Cracked screen is Out of Warranty repair, and for iPhone 5 this will cost $229. For either, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

  • Help! When I try to download music from iCloud onto new iPhone it appears to go through the downloading process but then does not show up on the phone. Where am I going wrong?

    Have gone onto iTunes and selected purchased music. Then clicked on download all... It then appears to be going through the correct process but then music does not store on the phone. What am I doing wrong?

    Nothing you doing wrong, there is just not enough space on your phone.

  • Bose Bluetooth ear piece locking up phone. Ipone 4s.

    I'm having a issue with my Bose Bluetooth ear piece. It will work for an hour then when a call comes in and I pick it up it switches to Speakerphone. This is when the phone goes wacky cannot call out or take calls,all the microphones on the phone shut off like its muted by itself. I have to power down the phone and restart and its fine. I have tried two different Bose ear piece and they both do the same thing. Its funny it will work for a few hours then Halloween out!

    Its a hardware problem!
    I had exact same issue.  I went to the Genius Bar at Apple and the first thing the tech wanted to do was restore factory setting, without a back up (which meant I would lose some settings and pics that I could not back up).  He also warned me that I would not be able to restore the phone from my back up as it could possibly re-introduce the bug that c caused the problem.  I agreed (under protest) and waited while he did the restore.   When it was done, I had the issue of resetting my vm password, to which he instructed me that I would have to go to AT&T to resolve.  Luckily there is an AT&T kiosk just outside the door to the Apple store.  They instructed me to call 611 to resolve the issue.  While attempting the 611 call, the same issue started again (speaker came on automatically, could not shut off, person couldn’t hear me etc.)  I went back in the store and the tech then placed two “test” calls to the store itself and the phone worked fine.  He was still not satisfied and sent me away.  As I walked out of the mall, I called AT&T again and the speaker button got stuck.  I left the call connected and brought the phone back into the Apple store with the call connected and the speaker button stuck.  The tech finally agreed it was more likely to be a hardware issue vs a software problem and replaced the handset.  I came back to the office, restored my phone from my back up with all my apps, configurations, settings etc. and the new handset works fine.  All Bluetooth devices (headset, phone) etc. work beautifully! 

  • My Bionic does not work properly. The phone should not have been released...dead Camels

    I took my Bionic back to Verizon yesterday. I am not getting 4G data, and it will not work in the car dock. When I got to the store, I had 4G, and it worked perfectly in the dock, all he did was sit it in. This phone must only work in the store, maybe that is why they released it before it was ready.
    The Verizon technician told me that there were problems with the phone, but that the responsibility belonged to Motorola. He said there was going to be an update in November and that I should wait. This concerns me because it means Verizon will pass the buck on this one.
    What choice do I have? My return period is way over. I am paying for a service that I don't have yet I can't get out of it. If the phone can't be fixed by a software update, then what? At that point, I will either hope for a class action suite, or cancel my contract and pay $350 so that I can get a decent phone....iPhone from AT&T. That would be cheaper than buying a new phone from Verizon under my current contract. I can't keep a phone that never works. 
    I think yesterday was like the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I tried for 15 min to get the car dock to work, and nothing would turn it on. That is when I just drove to Verizon. I figured they should see one more unhappy customer in person instead of just online...alas, no one there gave a **bleep** and they are still trying to sell the Bionic to the unsuspecting customer. It should be pulled off of the shelf until it is fixed.

    My Bionic did it again. It is not recognizing the car dock, and it is not getting data connection. I sat in a La Madelains for 15 min hoping for data. Then, when I drove home, I tried the car dock...nothing. This is basically a little 3G tablet with WiFi and a phone. I can do most of that better with my iPad.

  • Does your front row show the Applications playlist?

    My Front Row has some bugs, I think.
    Inside Music->Playlists, the following are listed but do not show their contents:
    Applications
    Library
    TV Shows
    But Applications shouldn't be there and TV shows already shows up in the main front row menu.
    As for Library, this is my entire iTunes library. does anyone have this issue:?

    If your movies play with the QuickTime Player program outside of iPhoto, then Front Row will be able to show them. The "Movies" section of Front Row only looks inside your "Movies" folder in your home folder for files. If you make an alias from the iPhoto library of your movie file into the "Movies" folder, then Front Row should be able to see them and play them. Remember, if you drag an item (or some items) while holding down on the Apple and "option" keys (it may be "alt" on a non-North American keyboard), you will create an alias where you drop the items instead of moving them. That might help you move several of them or even the folder they're in to your "Movies" folder.

  • How frequently does your Mac go on the fritz?

    Today, I right clicked on a file on my desktop. It didn't respond at first, so I right-clicked again and then the beach ball appeared and it stayed that way. I think it was Finder stalling out. I tried switching and launching other programs, tried logging out, and finally tried CMD-option-Esc. All of them didn't work. Finally I was forced to hold down the power button to force shut down the system. Booted it back up and everything was back to normal again.
    This is the first time this has ever happened since I recieved my Mini around early April. So I'm just doing a reality check with this post. This is my first Mac.
    How frequently does your Mac act up to the point where you are forced to force shut down or pull the plug (the absolute last resort)?

    Even then, Peter's advice may be a little bit over the top. There a loads of Macs out there that rarely get their permissions fixed, probably don't have cron tasks run at all, that don't have copies of any of the general purpose utilities such as OnyX or Cocktail, and where the users don't have crashes or kernel panics either.
    The real skill in maintaining OS X is to resist doing things that you don't need to do, because it largely looks after itself. From time to time, you might notice a problem, the symptoms of which will generally help determine what needs to be done in order to rectify it.
    But if a user is determined to do anything routinely, it should not be to alter the general use of the system (ie, not to suddenly decide to leave it on 24/7 not sleeping so the cron tasks can run), but to use MacJanitor maybe once a month to do the daily, weekly and monthly tasks all in one go, and to fix permissions after an install that has asked for an admin password. The user might also be wise to keep a copy of OnyX, Cocktail or YASU (YASU being the best for the novice user because it is very difficult to misuse) and to use it from time to time as and when the system exhibits poor overall performance or when it has trouble opening or running applications.
    Which is not to really contradict Peter's advice, but to say that much that is said on the subject of maintaining Macs and MacOS in good working order is overstated. A low-key/light demand attitude to this aspect of caring for systems is typically rather better - not least because it's typically not a cron task or a permission fault that causes a problem - more commonly hacks, hardware/peripherals or software.

  • The new iPad: Does your SmartCover wake up the new iPad a little slower than iPad 2?

    Hey guys! I got my new iPad (32GB with iOS 5.1.1) one month ago. Now I found it takes longer to wake it up than my old iPad 2 with SmartCover. I have to wait for 1-2 seconds before the screen lit up. However, iPad 2 only take half seconds or less, seems instantly...
    I wonder if anyone has the same problem like me? Is it something related to the iOS or can I change for a faster one (if the problem is hardware-related)? Thanks for your contribution.
    Darling kim

    Hi Simon,
    Thanks for your detailed reply. I can't see any slow response on iPad 2 even with lots of app running background I think may be this issue is by design for iPad 3, or may be caused by the iOS 5.1.1 as my iPad 2 still running its original iOS 5.0.1...
    This issue is rarely reported, so may be it's an exception for both of us.
    I was concerned about this, but not that much now. The stunning Retina makes me forgot it! I bet you feel the same
    Another thing, does your new iPad is a little darker than iPad2 when setting to maximum brightness?
    Kim,
