Iphone 3GS on ios6 sound problems

Hi,
I have just updates a 3GS to ios6 and am having sound issues.  The only time all the sounds work is if the phone is plugged in (it doesn't matter if it's a dock or to a computer or to charge).  When it is not plugged in it will play songs for approximately ten seconds before the sound cuts out, it will play the ringtone but not the text tone.  The majority of my apps have no sound, and some show that the sound cannot be changed (the little speaker has an x next to it rather than showing the volume).  It seems to work fine when headphones are plugged in.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
Thanks

Unfortunately you are stuck if the water indicator has turned red...now I don't mean to argue with you when you say it's never ben wet...but I will say that in order for the indicator to turn red it MUST have a fairly good amount of water or moisture contacting the indicator...that said if you say you treat it like gold then the only possible answer is that someone got it wet that you showed it to or maybe your kid got it wet and didn't tell you...bottom line that indicator doesn't turn fully red without a good amount of water coming in contact with it...so I'd really look at friends or Fam that has touched the phone...
Part two...the fix...sadly with water damage there are no magic fixes...the questions you asked at the bottom about why can they still hear you etc...this is a side effect of the iPhone being partially damaged nd not enough to stop the MIC from transmitting but enough to stop the earpiece from giving sound...you say the speaker works and headphones work...
It is possible that over time the iPhone will again operate properly...for now...I'd go and find a bunch of those little packets of Silica Gel balls that come with many items and stick them all inside a ziplock bag with the iPhone for a good week...DO NOT USE RICE ...use the packets of Silica Gel...This is not a 100% fix but it's the best shot you have of getting operation back that you desire...
If the indicator is red Apple and any authorized agent will NOT be able to warranty the iPhone. There are several out of warranty options but if I remember correctly water damage is not onr of them...you'll have to verify that with Applecare or a store...

    I think my problem is fixed now.
    For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
    A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
    I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
    So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

    I have the same problem after updating to the latest iTunes. I purchased an iPhone 4S this past summer and gave my 3GS to my 6 year-old minus the SIM card-- an instant iPod Touch. Things were fine until the latest version of iTunes 11.0. Until I updated to 11.0.1, iTunes would not even "see" the iPhone.
    How do I get past the insistence to activate the phone? Right now, it's a useless brick.

  • I have updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS6, I am now frozen on backing up to iCloud. HELP! What can I do?

    I have updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS6 and now my phone is stuck at backing up to iCloud! What can I do? I do not want to lose any data.

    Try resetting the device.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
    You will not lose any data as a result of the resets.

  • IPhone 3GS and Nike+ Remote problems

    I've been using my Nike+ Sensor and Nike+ Remote watch with the iPhone 3GS and have noted problem. (I also have an 4th Gen Nano which works flawlessly with this kit)
    The fast forward and reverse buttons work to "skip" to the next song or podcast, but have lost the functionality to hold them down a FF through the song or podcast.
    Anyone else have these problems?

    The spoken feedback problem must be a bug. It happens to me sometimes and it can be fixed by either turning the phone off and back on or resetting it.

  • HT201222 need facebook messenger for iphone 3gs having ios6.16

    need facebook messenger for iphone 3gs having ios6.16

    In a nutshell, you can't get it on the 3GS, must have iOS 7 or later.
    I highly recommend getting a 4S or newer phone.

  • My iphone 3gs has a vibrating problem where the phone continuously vibrates

    my iphone 3gs has a vibrating problem where the phone continuously vibrates

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, set it up as new device: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If still no luck, get it checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple:
    iPhone - Contact Support - Apple Support
    Has the software on your phone been modified at some point in the past?

    Hi Lisa 1952,
    What have you done so far to try to fix it? I've tried rebooting several times and it did not work. Tried connecting to iTines but it does not recognize the iPhone.
    My other iPhone 4s restarted successfully after the updgrade but some apps don't function properly. It automatically closes while in use.
    Apple please help. I know it's the weekend but I need the other iPhone to work. Can't use sim with a diffrent phone because it's a micro sim!
