IPhone 4 same audio issues as half the internet it seems

So.. iPhone was working fine...
iTunes said Hey! iOS 5.1 is out! Upgrade?
So I said sure why not.. Haven't had any problems yet...
Was out and about, and needed to make a call..
They could hear me but I couldn't hear them.  Until I turned on my speaker.
I have tried the reset (hold button til it turns off) [multiple times]
I have tried 'Reset All Settings'
I have tried 'Erase All Content and Settings'
I have tried restoring via iTunes
Nothing worked.
So now I have an 800 Euro (about $1042 USD)  phone that is useless for making phone calls.
Warranty repair is out, because of course my warranty support expired last month.
Hours of google searches later, it seems there are a ton of people with this problem, and no real 'official' answer
from Apple.
Any ideas? If it is a known issue why doesn't Apple just push the last known good iOS to downgrade people's devices instead of leaving them
with useless toys?

hello zbbeaudry
I would suggest you put your isp's dns servers in SystemPreferences-->Network-->Show Airport-->TCP/IP

    Pay close attention to these sections
    Display image issues
    This can include bright or dark pixels, lines in video, or sections of video missing.
    1.Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    2.Verify the issue is not content related, by viewing different content.
    3.If the image is too dark, adjust the brightness. In General Settings choose Brightness and Wallpaper and slide the slider.

  • How can I wifi synch my iphone if my pc is hardwired to the internet on the same network?

    How can I wifi synch my iphone if my pc is hardwired to the internet on the same network?
    I have ios5 running on my iPhone 4 and it says it can sync with my pc when my pc is available. My pc is connected to the router via cable but it is on the same network.
    Any suggestions?

    You can't. It has to be on and able to connect to a network or it can't transmit its location.

  • When I take a picture on my iPhone or try to save one from the internet, it acts like it takes it, but when I go to my Photo Album, it isn't there. What do I do?

    Lately, when I take a picture with my iPhone or try to save one from the internet, it acts like it saves it, but when I go to my Photo Album, it doesn't show up. Also, if I try to take a picture through an app, the app just crashes. What do I do to fix this?

    It definitely shouldn't be that slow, are you using the stock camera?  what mode are you using it in?  what other settings do you have setup? try downloading another camera like "a better camera" or any other free one and see if it behaves the same.  If it does that tells me that either the lens is really dirty or the hardware may have an issue.  Make sure the lens is clean then try either a restart or power down and battery pull and see if that solves anything.

  • I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • HT1976 iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet away from home

    My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet when away from home. It was fine last Wednesday, then on Thursday all I got was 'Safari is no longer connected to the internet'. I cannot use the Messaging, Find my Friends etc.
    As far as I know I have not done anything to alter any settings, but I did change my password on Wednesday - which works, so I think that's OK.
    Has anyone any idea what is happening?

    The iPad has a micro-SIM card slot - nothing special or unique about it.

  • Can I use my 3G from my Iphone with a hotspot to go on the internet with my Ipad (no 3G)?

    Can I use my 3G from my Iphone with a hotspot to go on the internet with my Ipad (no 3G)?

    That is called "tethering" and you would have to contact your wireless carrier to set it up and find out the costs.
    Hope this helps

    Hello, I've upgraded my Ipad2 to iOS7. I'm facing two major problems. First, I can't connect to the internet(which seems like a common problem), no Wifi connectivity as well. Second, the Autocad WS app doesn't work. It keeps asking for a username/passcode combination. Please help me guys. I will be genuinely grateful.

    Does my problem has anything to do with SSL for mail settings? Cause when I tried re-adding it says something that I should try without SSL, and I did what you said and it gives me this "The IMAP server pop.mail.yahoo.com is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the incoming mail server field". Ahh.. this is so annoying, Apple what are you doing to me?! Or is Yahoo doing this to me?!
    Thank you for your time. Sorry it doesn`t work.

  • Audio Issues Upon Importing - the more I have, the slower they play

    I have searched in vain for an answer to this problem. I have a 15" Powerbook Aluminum, 1.5 Ghz G4 w/ 1.25G RAM and 10 GB available on the harddrive.
    I am working with iMovie 6 with all my movie files on a LaCie external drive connected using a FW800 connection. 195GB capacity, with about 20GB being used up with iMovie files.
    Here's my issue. When I import video alone into a project, we have joy. When I try to add audio clips (either AIFF or MP3), the playback slows to a crawl, the video is severely stuttery and the audio is distorted and plays at about half speed (like playing a 33rpm LP at 16rpm).
    If I delete the video and import the audio clips, same issue w/slowness and distortion.
    If I import the audioc clips singly, they play and sync well with the video to a point, but there's a threshhold at which the playback begins to degrade and the audio issues return.
    Very frustrating. Who can point me to some likely culprits? Of, and this began happening in iMovie 5. I was hoping iMovie 6 would solve. no joy.
    Thanks all - Joel

    OK - here's an update. I dumped my caches, fixed permissions, made changes to QT settings and reset the MIDI settings and the result? The audio is now running fine BUT the video is now not running (or at least ex-treme-ly sl-ooooooow-ly).
    Any thoughts folks? I'd be eager to hear your input!
