IOS 5 sound problem on iphone 4

upgraded my Iphone4 to ios5
Now, I have a strange problem, and I don't know if the cause is an ios5's bug or if it is material problem.
I restored many times the ios5, but it doesn't fix the pb.
Here is the description :
- the slider volume bar has disappeared. ==> No sound in applications, music, games...
(the + and - buttons make the volume icon appear, but the slider is empty)
- But the phone rings when I receive a call.
- I can hear/change the ring tones in the sound menu (the + and - buttons work)
- But the message/mail don't ring , and I can't hear them in the sound menu
- During a phone call, if I put the conversation on speakers ==> it works and the volume bar reappears. I can control the volume with + and - buttons.
But when the conversation is over, the bar disappears again.
- With the headphones, everything is ok!
- I also noticed (only a few times) that when I do a repring (with changing the language of the phone), the volume slider reappears and works correctly during 2 or 3 seconds, before disappearing again.
This tip is not reproductible anymore... I don't know why...!
I guess that it is a ios5 problem, because the speakers work.
Thanks from australia

After updateing ISO 5.1 my problem is the same. pls help anyone.................

    I have sound problem with my iPhone 6 plus.
    Some apps have sound, others no.
    For exemple the app minipiano has no sound (it works fine on my ipad mini)
    Does anyone has the same problem ?

  • Ios 6 sound problems

    Hello,
    I listen a lot to podcasts on my iphone. All worked fine up until a recent update. But this is a very werid problem though.
    I use 2 headphones
    large sony headphone (MDR-XB700)
    small logitech earbud UE series
    And some loudspeakers
    Then a friend's large headphones worked fine but his earbud had the same issues
    A podcast played on the iphone with the logitech earbud gives me:
    hardly any spoken (people talking) sound volume
    music during the podcast very often is loud enough, normal I would say
    when starting the podcast I hear a very short "popping" sound
    The same podcast played on 2 other, non apple phones plays very fine, NO problems
    I have reset:
    All settings
    Erase All content and Settings
    I have from my Mac's itunes:
    Restore Backup...
    Restore phone
    I have several times:
    turn on and off sound
    turn on aff equalizer
    slide ringer and alerts volume up --> shut down iphone and bootup
    slide ringer and alerts down volume --> shut down iphone and bootup
    hold down home+on/off button for 10 secs so it reboots
    turn on and off Vibrate on Ring, Vibrate on Silent and rebooted
    turned on and off the Music --> EQ setting, and rebooted
    turned on and off the Music --> Volume Limit, and rebooted
    numerous other things that I found here and elsewhere.
    All to no avail.
    To me it sounds as if the iphone has started to "measure" how much energy is drawn from the mini-jack port and adjusts some settings. And it adjusts it for spoken words only. Voice control related?
    Anyone has tips or an idea how to forward this to Apple HQ?
    I suppose they read this and I am more than happy to assit to get this sorted out.

    Hi, I have a similar problem: My iPhone 4s iOS 6.0.1 doesn´t have some sounds, as ringtone, messages, lock/unlock sounds,  camera. But I have alarm sounds, some apps and games. I think it´s a software problem, because the problem began after I connected my phone to a On Board Entertainment System USB port, on an Airbus aircraft. I have no problems, if I use the headphones. I already tried Reset all settings,  but it wasn´t usefull. I read about a solution deleting the file com.apple.iapd.plist, but it was a solution for a iOS 5. I´m not sure about trying to delete this file if I have the iOS 6.

  • IOS 8 battery problem with iphone 4s

    I installed IOS 8 over the weekend on my iphone 4S.  My phone is completely dead because of the battery drain to fast.   for example it was 100% fully charged, left alone for 20 min later (without using it), the power went down to 72% .  or went to bed power at 85%, the phone went dead next morning.  another occasion: left the house at 65% power,  it went dead after 2 hrs WITHOUT A SINGLE USE.  I went to the Setting so many times to see anything that unusual, I turned of: Background App Refresh,  Turned off Location Services (each App too), etc..  I done everything I can, still the battery draining too fast.   Apple what have you done, this is causing so much grief !!!!  I need help !!!!    another problem,  when I am in an App ( i.e.  CNN)  to see the news with video.   I see the video, but no VOLUME.  looks like the volume button is disabled nothing there.     

    This sounds as if an app keeps running in the background although you don't use it or allowed it to use it in the background.
    Did you already check Battery usage to see which app you didn't use much (or not at all) causes a major use in battery. See also this article and this one on iMore.
    I've seen others who had background process off for e.g. Google Hangout and Skype but still had major battery usage since iOS8.
    Please look also into the apps who are allowed to use 'Background refresh' and 'Push Notifications'.
    I've had similar issues with another Dutch app called Scoupy after 6>iOS7 upgrade. I deleted the app and it resolved the battery drain. The app released an update (months later) which resolved the drain finally. It was however very hard in the previous versions to find out the app which caused the drain. In iOS8 that is much easier now.

  • Sound problem on iPhone 4S

    Hi everybody, first of all i'm sorry for my bad english (i'm lucky google helped me..)
    When i'm on the phone and I start a game/application the sound of the game/application becomes UGLY! (Sorry I do not know how to describe it but, it's the same if I put an MP3, youtube.. ALL applications. When i'm not on call i haven't this problem of course !)
    Well i called Apple twice, 
    Once, the person tell me to upgrade my iPhone 4S on 5.0.1 and if the problem was still there I had to remind Apple, so i upgrade my iPhone and of course the problem still there.
    So I recall apple a second time and the person tell me that it's normal on IOS 5.0 (5.0.1 too of course) because Apple chose to lower the quality / sound volume of applications / games during a call.
    Well anybody can tell me if it's normal (if you tryed it) or if should recall Apple for my problem ?
    Thank you in advance for your help
    PS : Before i had an iPhone 3Gs on 4.3.3 and i never had this problem.

    I have the exact same problem. Used to have the iPhone 3G and it worked beautifully. Just upgraded to the iPhone4S 64gb so that I could put on more videos and games for our 5 year old. This weekend was our first car trip and much to my surprise when I handed him the phone and turned on the first video, all you could hear was LOUD STATIC. I'm not talking about a "hum" that some people are talking about experiencing on calls. This is where you can't hear anything else on the video nor game apps. This was the ONLY reason I purchased this phone! So are we supposed to sit and wait for Apple to do something about their audio problems or do we keep taking them back and hoping we might by chance get lucky and get one that's better than the last one. My problem is, at least now, the static isn't in my calls yet.

  • IOS 5 sound glitches on iPhone 3GS

    Since I've upgraded to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS, I've been having some sound glitches whene listening to music.
    Sometimes, when the song starts, I get a glitch (some kind 1 sec skip) which is really annoying. Are the notifications hard to process?
    I don't have anything running on the phone persay. No bluetooth, mail checks every 15 minutes but doesn't seem to be checking when this happens.
    What I find weird is, that it didn't do that before. I even tried rebooting the device, I started a song and the glitch came right back.
    Something came to my attention, can the artwork of that song be tobig so the iPhone has a hard time loading a particular long?
    If you experience samthing please post, if you have an answer please post alos.
    Thank you!

    Yes I have the same issue. Just noticed it. It seems to happen with me after I have paused the track and the phone has locked it's self and then I go to restart the track and I get this glitch within the first 10-15secs of playback.
    Pretty annoying and sure it did not do this before upgrading to iOS 5.

  • IOS 8.2 problems my iPhone 4S

    Since upgrading IOS from 8.1 to 8.2 last week, the following problems have appeared on my otherwise very reliable iPhone 4S.
    1.  Device refuses to join all wifi networks at home or office or public (gives unable to join message)
    2.  MDI network that enables me to use iPhone on my VW Jetta stopped working
    I tried resetting network first and then resetting the whole iPhone but I was not able to fix the problem.  Finally I went ahead and downgraded to IOS 8.1.3 and everything went back to normal.  Yesterday, I decided to upgrade to IOS8.2 and now the same problems are back again. 
    Any suggestions before I downgrade back to 8.1.3?  Is the 4S too old for the IOS 8.2?  Hope it is not some form of forced obsolescence they were taking about...
    yt

    omg! I've had similar problems!  occasionally it will join to wifi at home most of the time I have to turn my phone on and off for it to work for that day! no longer works anywhere public says its joined and have the wifi symbol but everyone I try to use the Internet it says no interenet yet everyone else I'm with has no problems and I never had problems before the update! I have no idea why! also this update deleted all my apps and data even though my phone was backed up it won't restore (whether this is related to my internet problem not sure) hope it gets sorted for you and me! please someone help us!

  • Flash app air to IOS. Sound problem

    HI, I have done an app for IOS in flash. This flash content a video. The video work`s correctly in the simulator. I in the iphone the video work´s but the sound not.  Please i need resolve this as soon as possible. Thank you in advace

    You are making a top-level item that is over the Flash display list when you make a StageWebView. This means you cannot even draw a "button" on top of the StageWebView to cause it to close.
    You need to adjust the size of the video being played so it's smaller than the entire Stage size. For example, make it 40 pixels vertically smaller than your stage (the recommended button size minimum). Then put a button at the top of the stage to trigger the closing of the StageWebView.
    e.g. Note: this is not a complete code example, but this should give you the right idea
    // retain a reference outside this function
    var webView:StageWebView;
    function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
      // use this reference
      webView = new StageWebView();
      webView.stage = this.stage;
      // 40 pixels shorter than vertical height, also down 40 pixels
      webView.viewPort = new Rectangle(0, 40, stage.stageWidth, (stage.stageHeight - 40));
      var fPath:String = new File(new File("app:/kk.mp4").nativePath).url;
      webView.loadURL( fPath );
      // have some button on the stage at a y position of 0 so it can be
      // seen over the StageWebView. Say the instance name is 'closeVideo_btn':
      closeVideo_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(e):void {
      // close StageWebView
      webView.stage = null;
      webView.viewPort = null;
      webView.dispose();
      webView = null;
      // get rid of this button, etc..
      }, false, 0, true);
    So that code is expecting "you" to put a button on the screen when you play the video with the instance name "closeVideo_btn". When the StageWebView is drawn the button has an event listener added. The buttons script that runs when the user touches it (MouseEvent.CLICK) is to close the StageWebView. You'd then need to get rid of the close button as well.
    Do note I made a reference to the webView outside the function. This is so closeVideo_btn's function has access to it when it runs. If I didn't do that then it wouldn't exist after the function ran. I'm assuming this is frame scripts.

  • Ios 6 wifi problem on iphone 4S

    Hi

  • Sound problems with iphones, first generation

    Hi,
    I have a problem that appeared with my iphone: sometimes, the phone doesn't recognise that I have removed the earphones/handsfree and therefore doesn't send any sound to the normal phone's speaker, nor does it turn on the microphone to pick up what I am saying. I then have two options: either to put it on loudspeaker, or to plug-in my handsfree.
    I solved the issues twice in the past by just plugging in & out the earphones a few times, start-stopping the ipod music through the earphone controller, and restarting the iphone. But this time it has stuck.
    Many French users report similar problems http://www.iphonefr.com/viewtopic.php?id=5223
    Any suggestion? I've tried blowing hard into the connector, without success. Do other people have the same problem? Is it an officially recognised problem by Apple? Is there any "command-line" operation / reset that could trick this? Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions.

    Thank you for your reply. I'll continue trying to pull out/in the connectors, slowly, to get it to change mode...
    More generally, I would have thought that this was more of a software issue than hardware. And hence I would have expected that a small "command line" could have gotten the phone out of it's f*ed up status...
