Get wax out of iPhone 3gs speaker?

i have acidently poured candle wax into my iPhone 3gs speaker!
I have used a pin and the like to get it out from where I can see, but I am pretty sure it is also somehwere else in the system, because I have to press it on loud speaker every call I make.
Where would I get help fromm an expert in Sydney, Australia?
How do I fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Not an easy fix. Search for a third-party repair shop where you live. Apple doesn't fix stuff like this, but they will swap your phone for US $149.

How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of (connect to iTunes) mode?

How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of recovery (connect to itunes) mode?
Once the iPhone 3GS is in DFU mode and plugged into iTunes, the restore and update process begins. The restores process are as followed:
Extracting software > Preparing iPhone for restore (blank screen) > Preparing iPhone software for restore > Restoring iPhone software > Verifying iPhone restore > Restoring iPhone firmware > The iPhone cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (1).
I clicked on the more information tab and was taken to a website with some troubleshooting. I did what they suggested (based on the error #) and still no luck. I’ve tried to restore and update about 10 times now but the same message keeps coming up at the end. What should I do now?
P.S: I have the latest version of iTunes (11), my windows is up to date etc ...

How can I get a Brand New iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement phone?

4/26/2011
Does anyone how I can get a brand new iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement for my iPhone 3GS? I already had the phone replaced once with a refurbished phone that has a problem with becoming frozen and unresponsive. This occurred ten times since I got the phone on 4/16/2011. I have tried doing a hard reset and have also restored the phone as a new device. I have an Apple Care plan. I am concerned that the refurbished phones will not be reliable due to my experience with the refurbished one that I got as a replacement.
Thanks!

Thanks very much for your reply! I have a Genius Bar appointment today maybe they can test the phone to see if they can determine whether or not it is defective.
Thanks Again!

Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it or after a few minutes and try again.

Video out from iPhone 3GS to TV.

Can I use the standard (3 phono plugs on the end) video out lead I already have to view keynote presentations from my iPhone 3GS on my TV/Projector?

Same problem here.
I can't get any video out of my faithful iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.xx.
I have been browsing Apple discussions for solutions and most of them seem to point out to a faulty Video Composite cable. This is not my case.
I can rule that out 100%.
Old iPhone 3G running ios 3.1.2 works just fine as well as does iPhone 4, with the same cable.
I have tried with a friend's TV and cable and iPhone 3GS and we have identical issues.
(different cables and phones, same issue).
Please note all testing has been done with genuine Apple Video composite cables.
So this points out clearly to a iphone iOS issue combined with hardware.
It appears that starting from iOS > 5.0 video output has been disabled on earlier iPhone models prior to 4.
It would be nice if Apple could issue a Knowledge Base document on the issue as that would save many people further testing and waste of time.
This document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108? isn't really complete enough as it stops at iphone 4.
Has anybody the ultimate answer on this issue?
Are there any known work-arounds?
Thanks and regards

TS2621 Can't now get mail on my iPhone 3GS

One day my iPhone 3GS just stopping receiving mail. I tried to then get Mail via iCloud but I'm clearly not tech-savvy enough to do this and can't do that either. Everything else from my Mac is syncing beautifully ... all except being able to get Mail. Can anyone help me through the process ... please?

iphone 3s and iphone 4 dont support mirror so it will only use the video out when it's in an supported app test with youtube and maybe video apple app
netflix may not support video out

Video Purchased is greyed out on iPhone 3GS

Greetings and Salutations,
I recently purchased the Blueray Combo pack of Pirates of Caribbean "On Stranger Tides". I installed the Digital Version to iTunes successfully and was able to select it to be transfered to my iPhone. It transfered just fine, but when I go under Videos, the Pirates Movie is there, but Greyed out and I cannot select it.
I have OS5 on my iPhone and Lion for an operating system so I believe everything is up to date. The thing is that I recently put the digital edition of Rio (from the Rio Blueray Combo pack) on my son's iPhone 3GS as well and that worked without a problem.
Any suggestions? Is there a setting in iTunes I need to check? I thought perhaps the resolution for Pirates might be higher than Rio, but I don't know for sure. Thanks!

Make sure in settings>music iTunes match is turned on. if that doesnt work, cut it off, then try... are you signed into the store? settings>store and make sure you are signed in.. if you are itll say your account name

I keep getting logged out safari iphone

I keep getting logged out of websites on iphone when using safari. ios8.1.2
I have an iPhone 6+ and I find this happens when using the tabs of safari. Each time I swich tabs I get logged out of whatever site/forum i was on.
These are sites I log into and tick the remember box so should stay logged.
I also have an iPad and I don't get this problem on the iPad - the sites keep me logged in as expected.
Can anyone help please?

I had the same problem, and have now solved it.
Go to System Preferences, then Security, and untick "Log out after 10 minutes of inactivity".

Please help! iphone 3gs speaker "hardware problem!!"

Hi, I have used the iphone 1st generation for a long time and I have nearly been using an iphone 3Gs for a year now. The bottom line, I LOVE IT.
Only one problem I have came across 2 months ago.
I have aux support built-in in my car so I plug in the male-male cable to my iphone to listen to my albums. I have no problem with that even now. But 2 months ago, after I unplugged the aux cable and then straight after that when I tried to continue listening to the music(through the speaker) the speaker was "CRACKLING". It lasted like that for about 5 mins, and then it stopped working at all. I tried the plug and unplug method but had no luck.
Although my iphone is still under warranty, I can't send this device to vodafone as I am currently in Korea ( for business for a year ). I would send them to them but I have to pay my own courier. I know I can fix it as long as I know which part to replace.
If anybody has an idea which part is faulty (no guesses please) please advise.
Thank you for reading my messy post.

Was the person who fixed it an authorized Apple service center? No? Seems to me he didn't know what he was doing from what you have told us here. That pretty much explanis it

Iphone 3gs Speaker Low Volume Problem.

I Have Iphone 3gs. When I Updated It To 6.1.3 The Speaker Low Volume Problem Starts. When Anybody Call us It Rings But When We Accept The Call The Low Voiume Problem Starts. So Please Help Me To Fix This Problem.

Nope. Can't say that it does. I think I have about 100 charge cycles on it and it still performs like near new. How long have you had your 3GS?

Do I have to take it in for repair??

Searching Dock with for Power supply and Audio Out for iPhone 3GS

Hello,
I am rather new to Apple stuff but I now have an iPhone 3GS which I would like to use with my Yamaha Pianocraft.
The Yamaha has an optional iPod Dock. As far as I know, this would allow me to do things like pause, next track etc. via the Yamaha remote. However, I don't really need this and I would also like to be able to play audio from apps such as internet radio apps (e.g. 977)
So the Yamaha also has an AUX/Audio In connector on the back where I can simply connect my iPhone 3GS. Then I will just hear everything not through the iPhone speakers but through the Yamaha A/V Receiver.
However, this option would require me to have a cable connect at the top (headphone jacket) and at the bottom (connector for power supply), which does not look that good.
So I would like to have an iPhone 3GS dock that provides audio out as well as power supply. I have found three products for this (German Sites because I live in Germany):
Apple iPhone 4 Dock:
http://store.apple.com/de/product/MC596ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ&mco=MTgxNTkwOTg
Apple Universal Dock:
http://store.apple.com/de/product/MB125G/C?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ&mco=MTA4NDc4NDA
Amazon:
http://www.amazon.de/Dockingstation-Apple-iPhone-Audio-Out-wei%C3%9F/dp/B003UP77 HQ/ref=wlit_dpo?ie=UTF8&coliid=I18C98SXGWLNIF&colid=29EKL14S3VRAN
As far as I am aware, the iPhone 4 Dock from Apple cannot be used with the iPhone 3GS. Is that correct? Is there any solution or an "iPhone 3GS Dock" available?
Can these docks also provide the audio from apps via audio out?
I hope you can help me.

Well on the backsite this product has audio out but not power, only the iphone connector.
If I want to use this station in one place only and not for syncing, I will have to buy another iPhone USB cable and another wall to USB adapter (altough I have come at home from other products).
Is there no dock that will not require some special iPhone cable?

Can't figure out remote app to get it work with iPhone 3GS

I try to find some solution to get 3GS to be working with my remote app with iTunes. I was following the instructions from the following website: http://lifehacker.com/398278/remote-app-controls-itunes-playback-from-your-iphon e
It looks like the "Look for iPhone & iPod touch " from the advanced tab is missing.
Does anyone else has the same problem?

Problem Solved, Just had to play around with the firewall settings...
Cheeers !
