Has my iPhone 5's speaker blown?

This could be a stupid question or I could be right. I got my iPhone 5 a month or so ago. When I play a song of my iPhone 5 (without any headphones etc.) it sounds clear and seems ok. I notice there are two speakers on the iphone 5 near the headphone jack and if I cover my thumb over the right hand side speaker no sound comes out, shouldn't some sound be coming out of the other speaker?
Again, I can be totaly wrong and sound like an idiot or something could be wrong?

There is only one speaker on an iPhone. The side you're not covering, when no sound comes out, is actually the port holes for the microphone. Your phone is working fine. Not an idiot, many people make that same mistake/assumption.

IPhone SPEAKER§ BLOWN?

There can be no way that my speakers are blown because of me I have only played sound out of them twice and at low volumes. I bought the 8gb iphone and when I play music I hear a rattling noise coming from the speakers, You know a blown out speaker noise. I have no clue how this can happen cause I only played music once before this. I restarted my iPhone and still the blown out speaker noise. What I want to know is should I tell apple or is this not a problem at all and apple just put crappy speakers into my $600 dollar phone. If so then I would like a refund if anything at all, or a new phone and not a refurbished one.

The iPhone does not have speakers as in plural. The iPhone has a single speaker and the other that appears the same is a microphone. This is included with the User's Manual which is available as a PDF download.
What you have is a defective speaker which is not normal and is covered under warranty. How can this happen? Easy since human beings are involved and unfortunately things like this make it past the quality control procedures on occasion. It happens.
If your iPhone was purchased within the last 14 days and you live near an Apple Store, take your iPhone along with the box and everything else that shipped with it to the Apple Store. Your iPhone should be exchanged for a new one on the spot since it is so new. If purchased greater than 14 days ago and/or you don't live near an Apple Store, call AppleCare - (800) 694-7466 to report this.

IPhone 4S problem: Speaker only makes 'electronic noise' with incoming calls.. Has anyone else experienced this problem ?

iPhone 4S problem: Speaker only makes 'electronic noise' with incoming calls.. Has anyone else experienced this problem ?

I've not experienced this. But I do appreciate your asking.
Did you want help with your technical issue? If so, why don't you ask. Also state what troubleshooting steps you've taken.

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice.

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice. I wished for a software fix. I did a hard reset, nothing. I did a full restore to factory settings not putting my backup on and the problem persisted.

I did every step in the link that i have been provided with (thank you), but I’m
still experiencing the same issue. My experience with Apple has been
excellent and this has been the first time I have experienced something
like this with an Apple product. I hope we can find a quick solution.
In order to get the iPhone 5 as soon as it launched (being a major fan of
Apple products!), I purchased my iPhone 5 from the UK through a friend of
mine who lives there.
My question is: can I have the faulty device replaced within Saudi by one
of the official resellers here (we have 3: STC, Mobily and Zain)? I want to
avoid the disruption, complication and expense of sending it back to the
UK.
Could you advise whether this is possible or not, and if not how should I
go about having the device replaced?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Nice try! Take a hike.

Has anyone else managed to speak to a human being in the App Review team

I have had my app rejected twice on the basis that they think all the functionality can be incorporated in an epub format even though the epub format explicitly can't support what my app does. But every time I try and contact the team, it is only allowed via email (with very long waits for responses) and I just a standard script response, e.g
"2.21: Apps that are simply a song or movie should be submitted to the iTunes store. Apps that are simply a book should be submitted to the iBookstore".
Even when I appealed I just got the same script back and I keep being told that I can't talk to a human being.
Has anyone actually managed to speak to a member of staff in the App Review Team and could you give me some advice as to how I can do this. The process has been dragging on and all I need is a 10-minute discussion with a human being,
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks KT.
I did get a phone call after a few days and it did end up as a useful conversation.
I do think though that there should be contact numbers so that developers can actually ring a named individual in the App Review Team. I was really surprised that the Apple switchboard said that they were unable to connect incoming callers to specific teams or members of staff. As a Customer Service experience it seems pretty poor.
Anyway, the member of staff in the Review Team was helpful and we are making some of the suggested changes and resubmitting the App.
In terms of ePub functionality, it actually can't do everything the App can do as there is no way within an ePub of changing navigation based on whether you are using an iPhone or iPad. There are a lot of things you can do (in fact you can build an HTML5 app within an ePub if you want) but whether an ePub format is appropriate for all the things you can do is another matter. That is a discussion for another day ...

How to fix an error has occurred with your microphone/speaker.(104) when using line application

Haloo,
I am an iphone 5 user, while using the line application for calling with my girlfriend,
suddenly this error happened
an error has occurred with your microphone/speaker.(104)
anyone can help me fix this problem?
thank you..

So I tried the trial version but my serial number didn't work I guess because it's for a CS5.5 Web Premium product. I also tried uninstalling my current version of FB4 Standard, uninstalling CS5.5 and starting from scratch without any copies of FlashBuilder in my Applications folder and that didn't work, same error log message. I ended up reinstalling my original copy of FB4 Standard so I could continue working.
The odd thing is when I went to my MacBook Pro and uninstalled the copy of FB4 Standard I have on there and installed the CS5.5 FlashBuilder 4.5 Premium it works and started up fine. So I'm guessing there's something specific about my iMac setup that's preventing launch.
I was looking at my FB installation details, don't know if this matters but I'm running the standalone version:
Adobe Flash Builder Localized Standalone Feature 4.0.1.277662 com.adobe.flexbuilder.feature.standalone.nl1.feature.group
eclipse.application=com.adobe.flexbuilder.standalone.FlexBuilderApplication
Unfortunately it's the weekend (holiday in US too). I like the weekend for trying to get these things setup but I'm on my own and feel I'm out of luck until the work week starts.
If anyone from Adobe is reading this with a beer in one hand and hotdog in the other (or burger or veggie burger or bbq chicken leg) on a hot memorial day and have an idea on how to fix this I'd really appreciate your advice. Thanks!

Why has only my iPhone4 calling speaker stopped stopped working ever since the update?

Ever since the last iPhone update my speaker in the phone hasnt worked when I try to ring people I have to put it on loud speaker. Did this happen to anyone else and how can I resolve it?

Your issue has been addressed already ad nauseum. Always a sign of good forum etiquette to search before posting.

HT3310 I have an iphone 5. Speaker works but I cannot hear through the apple earbuds. Tried multiple earbuds and none work. But they work in other iphone 5.

I have an iphone 5. Speaker works but I cannot hear through the apple earbuds. Tried multiple earbuds and none work. But they work in our other iphone 5. Has anyone been able to resolve this without pursuing a replacement ? If so what was the fix?

You're not using a supported carrier. What did you think Apple was going to tell you?
As fizzDripper suggests, contact the SIM card provider. How to make an unsupported SIM work on your phone is not Apple's problem.

IPhone on a Speaker Dock

Has anyone used their IPhone on a speaker dock? Is it compatible? What happens if you get a phone call? Anyone anyone??

I have a DLO Homedock Deluxe, which I love BTW. When my iPhone is on the dock it still rings when calls are received. Just remember that if your phone does ring and you are not wearing a Bluetooth headset that answers with a button on the headset - you will need to remove the phone from the dock to answer it.

My family has multiple iPhones. Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account. You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same fam

Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

My iphone 4s has a built in app called "voice Memos". A colleague has an iPhone 4 unit which does not have this app. This has beem on my previous models. Has it been discontinued? Is it a carrier issue?

"1 Which iphone models have the built in VOICE MEMOS app? My 4S model has this, and i have also had this on my previous model. A colleague has an iphone 4, and it is not showing.
#2 Also, my 4S has a smart keyboard with the microphone icon to the left of the spacebar. Which models have this?

1) Either your friend has moved the icon into a folder or onto another screen, or they do not have a real iPhone (or their phone is jailbroken). It is present on all iPhones and can not be deleted.
2) The 4S and higher have that. It requires Siri, which does not exist on the iPhone 4 and earlier.
