Games, incoming calls, texts and reminders don't play through the speaker

Have had my 4 a week and it's been perfect until today because none of the above play through my speaker, therefore I can't hear incoming calls, texts or reminders - or play games without wearing earphones. But when on a call, I can switch to speaker and it works - I just can't hear it ring.
All other apps play perfectly through the speaker as well as earphones, iPod, you tube, radio stations, etc.
Nothing's changed in the settings.
Have tried the usual; blowing into the jack hole and plugging/unplugging really quickly.
The fact that some things do play via the speaker tells me it mustn't be hardware related (and that the phone isn't confused about whether or not the earphones are plugged in).
Has anyone else had this? Is there a fix?
Am going to call CPW to at least notify them in case it has to be replaced. But if I was to do a factory reset, would I just have to sync everything back via iTunes and then set up my email etc?
Would a visit to an Apple bar be a good idea? Am based in SE England and both bars are 90 mins away.
Thanks

Doh - I never realised there was a mute switch! Everything now back to normal and all is good in the world again.
I'm sending you a virtual pint! Thanks.

Hello Strangers1,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning audio issues:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
Learn more about troubleshooting iPhone hardware issues.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

When receiving phone calls, the background apps play through the speaker making it impossible to hear the person on the other line. How do i fix this? This started happening on my iphone 4 and now i have the same problem with my iphone 4s.

I once had a phone call in the middle of a trip. I was listening to my music and phone rang. It was work calling. I answered the phone and the music continued to play. I had to tell the person to hold, then i had to use multitask to find the app and manually turn it off. Once that was done, i retrurned to the phone call to find out that when i receive an email it too plays through the speaker while i am on the phone. Why wouldn't it mute these things while i am making a phone call? Is there a setting for this? It seems to me that this only happened since IOS 5, but i can't be 100%. What i am 100% on is the fact that it happened on my Iphone 4 and is now happening on my Iphone 4s.

The music continued to play with the iPod?
If so, when a call is received while listening to music with the iPod, when the call is answered the music should be paused. When ending the call, the music starts playing again from where is was paused.
There is no automatic mute with notifications for received email or messages while on a call and there is no setting for this.

What can be wrong with my iPhone 4? There is no sound from incoming calls, SMS and even when I play music. I already checked that it's not muted, volume is high and not set to "vibrate mode."

Hi rsample,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Your symptoms make it sound like the iPhone side switch is set to silent mode.
iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts
Set your device to silent mode
iPhone: Toggle the Ring/Silent switch on the side of the device.
Best Regards,
Nubz

Dear Al
Thanks for your reply.
I have just found out what's wrong. I went to the 'more info' section of my Chitchat application and it took me to a link where it explained that Yahoo Chat has ditched chatting with the Java protocol and chatters can now only chat via the Yahoo Messenger protocol, which is Yahoo Instant Messenger with Voice. Unfortunately Yahoo doesn't provide a platform for Yahoo Voice for Macintosh computers. Though the original link I went to provides another link to a thing called 'Adium' from which a Mac can access Yahoo Chat's new protocol, although it's not fully developed yet.
Oh...and thanks so much for letting me know about the Java update release. I did not know that I have to upgrade my system first to recieve the latest update information.
Regards
Tina

Iphone4 user, I cannot hear incoming calls/text, please advise.

I cannot hear incoming calls/text, however, I am able to make calls/text.
I did the sounds check (where it needs to be tested, and it works)
Please advise.

When you toggle the switch it will display an icon of a bell either with a line through it or not. You can double check this by looking at the link below:

Any ideas how I can insert a pdf into word, using the insert object option. However the pdf i want to insert has text and lines annotated, but once inserted the comments don't appear???? any help would be greatly appreciated.

You will need to find a forum for MS Word since that is the software that you are trying to manipulate in this. If you think the processing/creation of the PDF plays a role then you should ask in the forum for the software that you are using to create the PDF.
This forum is for issue regarding downloading and installing Adobe trial products, so in any circumstance, your issue does not fit in this forum.

Q: How long has this system been in place - is it a new system, or is this something that just started on a system that has been in place for awhile?
A: My customer says to me that this system has been in place for nearly a year and the problem started only a couple of days ago.
Q: If so were there any changes to the infrastructure, or the dialplan in particular?
A: Again this is the first question I asked and he said “NO CHANGES”. But that is what most customer say – right?
Q: Have you seen this occur in the past in the logs? If so how often do you see it?
A: Started on 26th Oct 2010. Since the problem started the router has been reloaded and the problem is still there. It is very intermittent and I have to do the debug when I get the problem.
Q: Have you tried to establish what is causing these: H323: Internal Error (H323 Interworking Error) ?
A: Not sure how to troubleshoot this. The explanation of this message on CCO is not that great.

I'm new to the Apple products. How can I view pdf files since Apple and Adobe don't play together?

I'm new to the Apple products. How can I view pdf files and videos since Apple and Adobe don't play together? Also, what operating system does the iPhone use? I'm a Windows person.

You may want to download and read the manual for your phone. It may answer a lot of the basic questions.

There is an app on your phone called "Mail". Yes, it's for reading your email.
Best of luck.

Hi Guys, suddenly I am not able to hear on my iphone 3GS whenever I receive a incoming call(it's very hard to hear wat the other people us saying)

I had my GENIUS appointment today. They did a couple of tests by plugging my iPhone into a macbook and both came back without showing problem. However as the genius was working with my phone he ran into the same problem with 3G and I had taken some screen shots showing full signal strength but unable to make a call, failure to send mms, and internet unable to connect, so he switched out my phone for a new one as I am still under warranty for another 3 months.
Make sure you backup your data and restore your phone as a new phone before going in to see a Genius, otherwise they may choose to try that process first and do some diagnotistic tests before being able to switch it out, and that can take up to 4 days.
Best guess by the Genius was that it was a hardware problem with the internal cellular antenna. He also recommended I get a new (free) SIM card from AT&T which I did (kiosk was in same mall)
So bottom line...if your 3G is messed up, make an appointment with Apple Genius. Thanks to all who tried to help, but mostly thank you apple Genius for great customer service.

I downloaded itunes update 10.5 and now all tunes I have downloaded from Walmart and Amazon don't play on my PC properly. How can I fix this?

I downloaded intues update 10.5 to my PC and now all the music I have downloaded from other venues, Walmart and Amazon don't play correctly. How can this be corrected? I am currently using windows XP.

I have an ITunes account. I got it when I got my IPOD. I've thought about upgrading, but I didn't see any reason to buy a newer IPOD because they all come with so much stuff I don't want/need. I don't have my current IPOD filled yet and I really don't need an IPOD Touch that has capabilities that my Droid already has. I don't need to be concerned with documents, mail, attaching to Facebook or playing games. I can do all that on my phone. I just want to maintain my music between 3 devices.
So now that I see it is not to my benefit to have this product---can you point me in the direction to cancel this? And how do I get my music back? Will it show up once I cancel my account?

HT1657 What happens when you rent movies and they don't play? How come that question is not on the list?

What happens when you rent movies and they don't play and you tried getting credit for it? I rented two movies which they were very very old movies in black & white and they both don't play. I never had this problem before even when downloading videos. Now how can I get credit for it? I contact itunes a number of times and no one has done nothing as of yet. Itunes also asked me for my order number which I sent them but still no credit.

Great question MommaBof4! This is actually something that can be completed. VZW does have the option to turn this feature on or off based upon the users request. If you would like to update this feature on your device please give us a call by dialing *611 send from your VZW device, thanks!

I had this problem too with my newly bought iPhone 4s.I went to a technician shop to ask what the problem is and they said they could fix it however they would charge £35 and I believed this was too much. I was playing around with my iPhone to see if I could fix this problem I went on setting the clicked on the music section at the music section there is the button called sound check which was off so I decided to turn it on . After I turned it on my sound came back I was ecstatic I saved myself £35 and having to return the phone.
