HT4528 iphone wont play sound acts like its plugged up.

wont play ringtones or music acts like its hooked up to a ihome or cord.

So the sleep button only works intermittently? That sounds like the switch is about to fail. This isn't that uncommon... If you go to
settings -> general -> accessibility -> assistive touch
Turn this on and you will find a translucent little doo-dah appears. In this under device there is an option to set your phone to sleep. It's not the best solution but at least you'll be able to lock it when it does fail completely.
As for your sound problems, it may be that the mute switch is broken, make sure vibration is set to on and give it a wiggle. Your phone should vibrate when you set it to silent and an icon should also appear momentarily on the screen.
Also, I'd check your settings as headphone volume and speaker volume are set independently of each other.

  • My IPhone wont play sound

    My IPhone wont play sound. Works fine in a dock, but once I pull it out it stops playing. It wont play music or ring. It will only vibrate.
    I know the speakers work because it'll play for two seconds then stop playing once out of dock.

    No I did not this is with the switch on "on"

  • My iPhone wont play sound without headphones in

    My iPhone wont play any sound without headphones in the volume
    Buttons work but won't change sound my speaker won't play any sound at all

    i had the same problem and used a very small screwdriver, inserted carefully into the heaphone socket, to very gently push the microswitch at the bottom of the socket. i did this a couple of times and suddenly the sound works again.
    i think the button down there can get stuck and cause this problem, or maybe it was just a fluke... try it anyway- it worked for me!

    Hello atbruner,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that you'd like your videos taken on your iPhone to be automatically synced to your other devices via iCloud.  Photo Stream will only sync your photos between your devices, however Apple recently introduced the iCloud Photo Library beta which will sync all of the content taken on your devices.  To learn more about these items, please take a look at the articles below.
    Which photo formats does My Photo Stream support?
    My Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. My Photo Stream doesn't work with video.

  • HT201401 My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing.

    My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing. I can still hear when i make calls too. The the output button only says dock connector or apple tv.

    If the phone has ever gotten wet it may be damaged. It may also have dirt or a bent pin in the dock connector or the earphone jack. Try cleaning the dock connector and inspecting it with a magnifying glass. Try inserting and removing the earphone plug several times. If you have restored it and that did not fix the problem damage is the most likely cause.

  • Why wont my itunes open it acts like its loading but then it just never comes up

    itunes acts like its loading but never comes up and rarely when it does come up it freezes.

    Hello, jessykins25.
    Thank you for the question.  This sounds like you will need to rebuild your iTunes library file.  Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process.  Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

  • My iphone wont make sounds any more

    My iphone wont make sounds any more , when i play music or videos i cant hear a thing .. tried resetting it and formatting it but still wont work !
    it rings and the speaker works while calling but other than that all audio-related functions are off .

    Hey M Butalak,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like the following resource may help to resolve your issue:
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    1. Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    2. Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    3. If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    4. 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.
    5. If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    6. 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.
    7. Restart the iPhone.
    8. If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    9. If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
    If the issue persists, please follow the last step by contacting Apple Support for support and service options.
    Thanks,

    Samuel32_826,
    If you have a virus you can run a system recovery to remove the virus.
    The system recovery will remove everything on your computer including the virus and put the system back to day one. Just like when you opened it out of the box.
    Here is a link that will walk you through the steps of the recovery.
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • I go to touch an app or game button on my iPhone and the screen blinks like its trying to open, but nothing happens. Why and what do I do?

    I go to touch an app or game button on my iPhone and the screen blinks like its trying to open, but nothing happens. Why and what do I do to fix it?

    Are there any apps in the muti-tasking bar? If the app closed unexpectedly and appeared in the muti-tasking bar, end it. Double tap the home button and then hold the app until it starts to wiggle then tap the minus at the top left at the app (if you want, end all the remaining apps)  try opening them now. Hope this helps! :)

  • My ihome wont play sound

    i plug in my ipod touch and it charges but wont play music and i have it set for ipod i try it on radio and it wont play sound then either!

    Did it work before?
    Does iHome say it will work with a 4G iPod with yur iOS?
    Sometimes this helps:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                 
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase co

    Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
    It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

    The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
    Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

  • I need help i dropped my phone in water, dried it, and now it wont play sound except for on the headphones

    i dropped my phone in water and now it wont play sound except in headphones and i even dried it!

    You'll have to buy an out of warranty phone at the apple store.
    Just because you dried doesn't mean that there wasn't any damage done.
