IPhone 3G Stereo not working through earphones

I have an iPhone 3G.Bought second hand but mint in the box When I listen to music through the iPod function, the sound is in mono not stereo signal. I am using the supplied earbuds that came with the phone they had neve been used. Is this how it is supposed to sound? I have tried the earbuds on another device and got stereo sound and I have tried another set of earphones in the iPhone but got the same issue. Does the iPhone only produce sound in mono signal or is there an issue with my phone? Perhaps a setting I am unaware of?

Me too, and judging by posts on the net, so an awful lot of other people!  It is not technically feasible that this is all hardware failure, but no-one at Apple seems to be coming up with suggestions.  A lot of us want to pass on our old iPhones (which are, after all, a quality product aren't they...), but we have a problem dong so.
Is it connected to a SIM without a data contract?

  • If my iPhone 5c is not working and I have to trade it for a new phone can I get an IPhone 5s or do I have to trade for another 5c?

    A warranty or out of warranty replacement through Apple will be for the same model, same capacity, same colour.

  • The home button on my iphone 5 is not working.

    The home button on my iphone 5 is not working, so I'm using assistive touch.  How do I close open apps without double tapping the home button?

    The other possible things you can try would include...
    Inserting the lightning connector and applying a little bit of pressure up under the Home button.
    Some folks have cleaned the Home button with a few drops of isopropic alochol caring to not get it on your screen.  This is only going to get things working again if it has been gummed up through normal use
    If you are still within the one-year warranty or extended it with Apple Care don't try any of these steps just take it to Apple. 

  • IPod touch not working through USB in car

    Does anyone know how to resolve an issue with the new IPod Touch 4th gen just purchased not working through car stereo. Have a new Toyota camry touring. You can hear sound when connected when you slide to unlock or go into an app the sound goes through the speakers fine but the radio face says loading and won't go any further, if you then try to go to the music screen it says connected so you can't get into the music to try to play. Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it. Not sure if the software of the radio can be upgraded to suit maybe at service?? Not really sure. Any help would be great

    Have you contacted your auto dealer? Some users have reported problems with there car systems not worked with the latest iOS. I searched the iPod Touch forum for Toyota but did not find any previous posts concerning Toyota.
    Have you tried resetting your iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My iPhone 5 is not pushing through notifications for text/ emails or alerts in a proper fashion!

    My iPhone 5 is not pushing through notifications properly. The screen lights up but there is no sound alert or banner it may or may not be followed by a sound alert and / or banner or the sound alert may come twice even after the text/ email/ app notification has been checked. Or the banner notifications are being pushed through hours after I have checked the emails. I have checked the notification setting and all is in order and software is up to date as well. Called apple support but they want to charge me even to comment on what the problem could be related to! Pl help!

    Buying a bundle doesn't mean that your device will work aborad you need to make sure roaming is enabled on your account.
    If you have a EE extra plan you still need to make sure roaming is enable on your account your plan only gives you free/cheaper calls when abroad.
    If your wanting to enable roaming on your account there could be a deposit to pay if you haven't had the device for about 6 months.
    Unless you have paid the deposit then roaming is not enabled on your account.
    You need to activate roaming on your account by calling 150 from your device or from a landline 01707 315000 before you leave the UK.
    But you can still do this if you are abroad.
    If you have had the device/contract for 6 months or over you can login to your online account and turn on roaming yourself
    Manage this device>Usage controls>Roaming abroad - Allow and Call abroad and turn it on. If the option is not there you need to call
    It can take 24 hours to activate
    If you had this device/contract for under 6 months you need to call customer services on +44 7953 966250 from a landline.
    Once you have activated roaming you can then use this link to see what cost there is and what bundles you can have.

    And this

    Also sending a text to 150 with the words of RO country your going to i.e. RO Spain will get you a reply of what the costs will be from that country.

  • The ringer on my iphone 4S is not working.

    the ringer on my iphone 4S is not working. Phone not on silent mode, no red dot showing, tried turning on and off completely

    Sophiaand88 this seems to be a problem with an unknown solution and may be related to a recent update (?).  I began having the same problem about 10 days ago when I upgraded to 6.1.3 software.  Through research, I have learned that it is a relatively uncommon problem  and there are no sound solutions and apple has not addressed it in a favorable way.  Multlple suggestions out there including phone in the freezer, blow dryer to the wi-fi area. All sound crazy to me.  I have personal hotspot that at least helps me for now.  I will give apple a little time and hope a solution comes, but if not I will probably have to get a new phone.  P.S. no one I dealt with at my sprint store had ever heard of this.  P.s. I reset everything to no avail.  Good luck.

    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.

  • Facetime works fine on my iphone, but will not work on my MBA.

    Facetime works fine on my iphone, but will not work on my MBA.   Keeps telling me "unable to verify address" and says it is sending me a verification link to my email address but I never get anything.   Crazy. 
    After a while it tells then me that it cannot verify my email address because of a network connection  ("Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again. ")
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • I just bought an iPhone 4s. Now the search iphone function is not working. When I swipe the screen to the left, the search box appears but when I type what I want to search for, there is no action. Please help.

    I just got an iphone 4s. Now the search iphone function is not working. When I swipe the start screen, the search box shows up. But when I type what I want to search, there is no action. Please help.

    Try this...
    You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...
