HT1937 iphone 4s speaker not working

Hello everyone, I had bought a brand new unlocked iphone 4s at one Apple Store in Miami, Florida. I do not live in the US, so I traveled abroad to deliver the phone. This is a gift for my Dad. After seeting the device and start to use it we realized that the speaker is not working properly. I had reviewed in the web about this trouble and seems to be a common issue.
As you cpuld guess this is a shame to had make the effort to get this device (because it is not cheap) and have this trouble.
Did some one knows a solution for this trouble?
I will appreciate your comments.
It is obvious that due to the fact I am out of the US I will not be able to apply for a replacement, at least now.
Regards,
Alberto

Well, why to buy in other country, for many reasons. In my case for a better price.
And how did that work out for you?
Now if you want a properly functioning phone, you'll have to bring the phone to the US (or mail it to someone you know there).  This phone will likely cost you MORE now, than had you just purchased it where you live.

  • Why is my iPhone 4 speaker not working?

    My iPhone 4 speaker has stopped working. It was working fine yesterday and now it's not, it still rings and plays alerts, but it won't play music, videos or podcasts. I've done a hard rest, played with all the iTunes settings and volume options. Suggestions?

    Do you hear when a headset is plugged in?  If so, plug and unplug the headset several times to get the phone unstuck from headset mode.

  • IPhone 4S speaker not working

    Thanks for the help...apparently I'm too stupid to read a manual, or even realize that the speaker never worked in the first place, because it was in fact...not a speaker all   gdmacguy...thanks for the sarcasm, or whatever it was you were trying to relay in your awesome message.  It helped so much.  Next time leave your comments to yourself 

  • Anyone else's iPhone 4s speaker not working after update to iOS 6.1?

    My speaker does not work after updating the software to iOS 6.1. No sound for incoming calls or texts, no speakerphone, no siri, no music or any sounds played from apps. Headphones still work as does anything plugged into the headphone jack. I've check all my settings - everything is correct. I've rebooted and restored settings several times, I've docked it - nothing works.
    Anyone else having this problem? Did anyone have this problem and were able to fix it? Does anyone know if Apple is aware and will be sending another update to fix it? I really don't think it's a hardware problem. Phone is in immaculate condition and never dropped or spilled on.

    As stated...

  • IPhone 5 speaker not working correctly

    My iPhone 5 speaker works, and it doesn't if it gets turned up too loud, or my phone rings for a call, it's like it's too loud and the speaker stops working until I blow into the speaker. This doesn't always work either and requires acouple tries. Can someone please help? I don't want to send it in

    There is a known problem with the original speaker module installed in the Iphone5.  If you experience crackling, static, or no sound at all from your phone and you've checked to make sure the volume is on, then it's likely an issue with the speaker module.  Apple will replace the phone or module for free for a year from the date of purchase but MAKE SURE YOU MAKE AN APPOINTMENT with the Genius bar, don't just show up, they only do repairs or exchanges if you have an appointment.  You can make one on line.  WARNING - if you purchased your Iphone5 from Verizon or another carrier and they are willing to exchange it make sure you don't get a refurbished phone because it's likely to have a defective original module in it too.  Make sure you get a NEW, recently manufactured Iphone5 with the new generation speaker module.  I went through three phones before I went to Apple instead of Verizon and got it replaced.  if they have a new speaker module in the Apple Store, they can just put a new module in your phone on the spot and you're good to go.  If they don't have one in stock, they just give you a new phone.

    Hi All,
    I had this Sound / Speaker issue too on my iPhone 4S, with only Ringtone & Headphones working and no other sound coming despite several software hacks and solutions read on forums here. I managed to solve it today after reading online for a perfect solution.
    This seems to be a fairly frequent problem amongst users who are using 3rd party (Cheap Chinese) dock connectors or chargers. There is some residue on the charging connector and hence it seems to be stuck in Dock/Headphone mode. I personally had this issue that only Ringtone and Headphone were working. I cleared some stuck particles from the dock connector in iPhone below and voila ! Sound works perfectly. Try it using a cotton bud / swab with removed cotton or I did it with inverted metal paper clip carefully avoiding to scrap and destroy the PCB board. (Other common solution was to remove water particles from headphone hole but I didnt have any)
    All the best,
    Cheers !

  • I have Iphone 5 speaker not working

    pls need help to solve my iphone 5 ring and speakers are not wroking

    Check the mute switch on the side of the phone, does the icon shown on the display change between "sound" and "no sound" ?
    Did you try to reset the phone by a holding the sleep and home button for about 10 sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.

    my speaker in iphone 4s is not working from yesterday ..it happened suddenly while listening to songs....do anyone had this pblm and how u resolved it?

    I got this problem solved and just want to let others know what it was.
    I followed ewdel1's advice and brought my phone in to have it looked at and sure enough, was told that this is a problem others have had and it was due to a faulty integrated circuit.  Luckily, I was able to take this in to be looked at when I did because my 1 year warranty was about to expire in a week.
    Apple replaced my 4S with a "new" phone.  The replacement looks and works good as new, so happy I didn't have to go through a hassle and the replacement was very straightforward.

  • Upper speaker in my new iPhone 4 does not work properly. I hear strange sounds instead of speech. What to o?

    Upper speaker in my new iPhone 4 does not work. When somebody calls me I hear only strange sounds. Please, help!

    A couple of other things you can try -
    With my 2010 Ford Fusion (and SYNC) I received the same not optimized message a few times. There were several things I had to do but eventually, I got it cleared up. Not sure exactly how this will translate to your Toyota but maybe it will.
    - Try resetting the iPhone via a power off/on or a hard reset where you hold the home and power buttons. Then power back on and plug into your USB port.
    - In my case I had an issue with SYNC in my car where I needed to reset the USB port in my car. Not sure if Toyota has something similar. The fact that you said it won't charge makes me wonder if the USB port got disabled in your car. This happened in my car and an easy reset for me was to remove a fuse for a few minutes and replace.
    - Update your iPhone in iTunes and resync it there. Then try connecting again in yor car.
    - Delete and re pair your iPhone from your Toyota system
    Hope something here helps. Thanks
