IPhone 3GS Sound trouble

i've just spent a fair amount of money on this new iphone 3gs that i purchased 5 days ago..yesterday i was playing a few songs through the speakers on it, not with headphones. then all of a sudden it just stops playing.. my speakers stopped working, i tried ringing my iphone off my house phone to see if that worked, but no sound. then about 2 hours later it started working again?
i thought ok.. maybe something went wrong. But then today it happened again?
Could there be a default in my speakers or something?
please help
Thanks jack

...same problem here: brandnew 3GS, and it regularly stops playing all sounds. I checked the headphone socket, knowing this is a common problem, but not in this case. resetting the iphone doesn't help either, a complete restore brings the sound back, but only temporarily. A few times it stopped the sound, when I changed the email-display-settings, and two times while videorecording. Does anybody have a clue, what software-issue could be the problem, or how to prevent the reoccuring complete loss of sound ? Having to make a restore to get the sound back is a bit of a pain...

  • Why does iPhone (3gs) sound better than Macs via Bluetooth?

    Why does my iPhone (3gs) sound so much better via Bluetooth on my (Jawbone) Jambox than my new Mac Mini or 3 year old MacBook Pro?  Proxmity is about the same and doesn't seem to make a difference.
    sound from via Bluetooth sounds muted like in a cave or can, pretty darn good from the iPhone, ideas? (in a test I did with a Braven speaker via Bluetooth = same, in that case the Macs sounded even worse!)
    Thanks,
    Paul

    If I were you then I would have asked this question in the mac forums
    as people there have a much much higher chance of owning those macs then people in the iphone forum who could own windows computer or linux computer or no computer at all

    Hey chauhannaveen,

    More specifically, the section titled "Acoustic-speaker/microphone/receiver" and the troubleshooting steps within. Follow those and that should help the issue.

  • IPhone 3GS HUGE TROUBLE. NEED HELP IMMEDIETLY

    Okay, so I was telling my friend how i didn't have MMS yet on iPhone 3GS, and he said he could fix that. Me being an idiot, I trusted him. Now when i turned it on it instructed me to plug it in, and open iTunes.
    When I do that, it tells me that my activation could not be completed because i am now a registered member of Apple's developer program.
    Can somebody please help now I am in serious trouble. Could someone atleast tell me how to restore it to 3.0? it would let me do anything with the iPhone on iTunes. PLEASE HELP

    I fixed iy myself, i had to go into DFU mode.

  • IPHONE 4 sound trouble

    I just want to let IPHONE 4 users how I fixed a problem that even geniuses couldnt fix.
    My iphone sudenly lost sound in the speaker, the ringer didnt work, notifications didnt work and I could not hear sound when I played a video on youtube, also no sound when I played music unless I plugged in earphones or a set of small speakers.
    I tried all settings and nothing, I tried solutions on the trouble shooting advice from this section and still nothing and I saw posts of users with similar problems, tried hard reset, the 5 step suggestion and nothing worked.
    Then after a complete reset of the iphone and sync of all apps etc nothing worked, then tonight my 12 year old girl asks to play on my iphone and
    I say no audio ig you still want to play and then an epiphony, I asked hey remember when I tell you to mute the sound and she says yes sure and I asked if she just turned it off with the side slide button and she said most of the time but also that some of her games gave her a mute option so I asked her to go to her favorite game and see if she had left the sound off, well in the sync I had not chosen that game so she couldnt find it, we downloaded the game again and she turned the mut off and incredible SOUND started working, speaker was working, we called my iphone and it rang and key sounds were working and notifications as well, so it was the mute in the game that messed it all up.

    Try a reset:
    - hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
    - the iPhone will turn off(keep holding) but as soon as the Apple logo appears release both buttons

    Same here, I get no sound from videos, text messages. This happens for a while, then it works again then it doesn't work. When I go to settings, my "change with buttons" is on but buttons don't work. I have restored it but there is no change. Here is a picture of my screen when i try to change volume.

  • I plug my iPhone 3gs into my laptop and it no longer syncs with my iTunes.  Ive tried all the trouble shooting methods and nothing works.  My iPhone doesnt appear on iTunes or under "my computer." Does anyone know how to fix this?

    If AMDS is running, you are using a USB port directly on the computer and not a hub, you have disconnected other USB devices except keyboard and mouse, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, You have tried cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone, you have tried a different cable, you have installed the latest USB drivers for your computer, you have disabled your antivirus and firewall, you are running as an Administrator account and you have tried creating a new user on your computer and connected when logged in as that user then you have exhausted my knowledge. The only other thing to try is a different computer. If it isn't recognized on a different computer you have a hardware problem. Good luck!

  • When I connect my iPhone 3GS to my PC, a bizarre sound comes from the speakers of the PC.

    This is a strange problem. When I connect my iPhone 3GS to my PC, a bizarre sound comes from the speakers of the PC. The sound is constant and low but irritating.
    Please can anyone help?

    This didn't cross my mind. Becuase no other device is causing the problem. Still, I am going to contact them. Thanks though.

  • This new update for the iphone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are haing trouble.

    This new update for the iPhone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5 or all. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are having trouble.

    iOS 6 can be loaded without problem on the 3GS.  Not all features are supported however.
    With respect to your reading people are having trouble, what did you expect to see on this technical support forum?  People don't write in to state they have a trouble-free upgrade.

  • I'm having sound issues with my iphone 3gs

    Ok, so the speaker sound on my iphone 3gs has stopped working.  The only sound I do get is my ringtone and if I play a voicemail.  I also do get sound when I plug headphones in.  However, whenever I get a text message or an email, my phone vibrates even though my ringer is on.  I don't hear the click sound when I unlock my screen or type anything.  If I push the volume side buttons, the small, black volume/ringer box does not appear and if I play music the volume adjustment setting is missing.  I've reset my phone, I've backed it up, I've messed around with the sound settings, my software is up-to-date, I've tried cleaning my headphone jack with a q-tip and nothing has worked.  I have no idea why the sound stopped working since the speaker sound worked earlier today, I haven't dropped it, and I've only had this phone for about a year.  Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. 

    I'm sad to report that I have the same issues between three to four times a day.  Before I got my iPhone 4S (first iPhone I've owned, btw) I used to have a Sony Ericsson C902 that I operated along with a bluetooth headset HBH-DS205 that used to work perfectly together.  Now, with the headset and the iPhone 4S I keep noticing that the connection breaks and all I can do to restore it is to turn the headset off and on every time.  I listen to music all day long on the headset and this issue can get to irritating levels.  Also sometimes I feel stupid as at work I'm one of the few 4S owners and, the iPhone being a state of the art device, my coworkers get to see me scrambling to figure out whether I need to bring the phone up to my ear or just one of the earpieces to my ear.  The headset also has a answer/hang-up button that as of late, for the same reason, I cannot know for sure will start or end a call.  I would hate to be forced to drop the headset as I really love it too.
