IPhone 4 speaker quiet

I've had my iPhone 4 "GSM" for almost a year and have noticed more lately that music, videos and even sounds like ringtones are very hard to hear. I have the volume all the way up and still doesn't help. I've tried rebooting and even restoring my device. Besides taking my device into apple does anyone have any advise or has anyone else had this issue? Thanks!

So I restored my phone with no backup and it still is having this issue. I've searched a lot over the net and seems that others are also having this issue. I compared my iPhone 4 with my buddy's and his is twice as loud as mine. So besides taking it into Apple does anyone have any other suggestions? ANYONE?

I used to be able to double click the home button to choose to receive notifications via iPhone speaker instead of the Bluetooth. With ios7, that's gone as well as any obvious way to do it. I don't wear my Bluetooth on my ear every minute of the day!!!!

I used to be able to choose to receive notifications via iPhone speaker in ios6 by double clicking the home button. Ios7 took that away and I cannot see how to do it at all. I don't have my Bluetooth in my ear constantly!!!

If you are getting Siri when you double tap, then your home button must be sticking. Siri comes up when you hold the home button. Try tapping quickly twice. When that happens, the multi-tasking list comes up and you will see the app icon and then a thumbnail, or reduced size view of the app above it. You put your finger on that thumbnail and swipe upwards with your finger.
For that issue, you might want to do a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This will not affect your data.
To be honest, your novel is a little difficult to read, and I think you put too much information in there, and a lot of it is unnecessary. Be to the point and just add information necessary to understand the issue.

When I am on a call in my car I can play and hear the music on my iPhone but when I hang up from the call the music reverts back to my iPhone speaker.

when I am on a phone call in my car I can play and hear my iPhone music thru the car speakers but when I hang up from the call, the sound reverts to my iPhone speaker and longer plays thru the car speaker.

Hello, Jordanali.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your car will not resume playing music after accepting a call. Here is a troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.

What move to make for iphone speaker volume

I have been reading all kinds of goods and bads about the iphones speaker volume over the last week. Yes ipod sounds good to me (Not to where I would ever wanna listen to it in speaker mode.) And NO, my speaker phone does not sound good. Way too low. Im starting to wonder if the people in the forums are saying theirs sounds fine because they have only tested it where there is silence. I'm not looking to be able to hear any speaker phone in the middle of a crowded bar, but I can not even hear it when it is all the way up and sitting beside me in the car, with the windows up. I find myself grabbing it and putting it right near my ear. So....... has anyone determined if this is a software issue or a hardware issue? Should I be bringing my iphone back or wait out the software update? I am surprised that with the release of the phone and all the questions being posted there is no portal for apple employees or techs to address some of these questions like a faqs page targeting some of the consistent questions over the last week. And don't get me wrong I love my iphone and i am not amongst the crew of people in these forums bashing it. Never owned a blackberry or treo or any of that stuff. I said years ago i will purchase something like that when apple puts one out. Never owned a pc in my life and I embrace this phone.

has anyone determined if this is a software issue or a hardware issue?
I assume since the iPod is capable of putting a fair bit of volume through the earpiece that it's a software problem. Have you turned-off volume limits in Settings?
Should I be bringing my iphone back or wait out the software update?
Tough call, if you're trying to decide by the 14 day window. Call Apple under warranty service, tell them if they can't guarantee a volume fix you're going to have to return the phone?
You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

What is iphone speaker on the control centre

So I was looking at my control centre at night and it showed that I had iphone speaker on next to airdrop
What is iphone speaker ? I did not put it on by myself it showed for a few seconds and then went away
My bluetooth was turned off as well
Please answer asap !
Thanks :)

Other can get large depending on what apps you use. It seems that programs like GoodReader stores much of its material there (I have many pdfs in GoodReader on my iPad, and simply removing them shrinks "other" by a many hundreds of MBs). A lot of games cache data in other, locally stored email messages, the iOS notes app stores notes there, calendar events go into "other". I'm not positive, but I think my Nook ereader app also tends to store books there, or its library sync data is there (and I have over 100 novels in my Nook library synced to my iOS devices).
So, it is not at all impossible for "other" to be several GBs in size with perfectly legitimate data in it. Mine on both my iPhone 5 (32GB model) and iPad (64GB model) tends to sit at around 3%-5% of total storage. But, as I say, I read and make notes on a large number of pdf, word, and excel files and powerpoint slide decks (although I always try to remember to convert those to pdf before loading them to my idevice), as well as use a couple of notebook apps for project management and meeting notes.
Some real-time geocaching apps supposedly also can add a lot to "other" as well. So you may find that syncing does not reduce it, or even restoring as new, then adding back the apps you use and content for them, does not alter it much at all - I know on my devices with my apps and the kind things I use them for, I always have upwards of 3%-5% of total memory being used by "other".

My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker

My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker so I can listen to my music and games. Is it hardware or software problem?

I was told by a friend that sometimes when you use a 3rd party charger that the connectors are not the same size and so it can affect the sensors in the phone and make it seem like it is in a docking station and so changes the output for dock speakers. With that said, I didn't take my pohone in to be serviced at the appple store because it was a 3GS and over 2 years old and so not covered by any service plan. Since then my phone is back to normal and I can use my headphones and listen with the speakers on the phone. I stoped using the suspected cheap 3rd party charger and maybe that's what did it, but not sure if it was or wasn't the cause of my problem. I'm glad that my phone is better I was kinda holding out for the Iphone 5 when i comes out later and hope my phone lasted until then.

Is there a way to make iPhone speak what is displayed on the screen, with a simple click?

is there a way to make iPhone speak what is displayed on the screen, with a simple click? Instead of going through the Accessibility and VoiceOver feature. This will be very useful if I am driving, or tired of reading from the screen, or watching other stuff ... thanks

No.
What is available via Accessibility settings is it.

Go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and make sure that your phone number is checked and iMessage reads as activated. Remove the checkmark from the email address and make sure that only the phone number if checked. It should appear grayed out, but should still have a checkmark. If the phone number does not have a checkmark, then turn off iMessage, wait a few moments and then turn iMessage back on and make sure that it activates.

IPhone speaker volume unequal for each speaker

This is weird; the volume on my left iphone speaker seems much louder than on my right one. Is there a balance control somewhere? I cover up the right speaker and hear no difference; cover up the left; and I block 95% of the sound....
Normal? Not?

The only "grill" or opening on top front face is the iPhone's earpiece, which is nothing but an earpiece. To the left of the earpiece located underneath the glass is the iPhone's proximity sensor and light sensor, which doesn't have an opening through the glass.
The iPhone has a single speaker - always has - with the first generation or original iPhone, with the 3G, and with the 3GS.

Iphone speaker, bugginess

Recently my iphone speaker cut out and sounded as if it was blown out. This confused me due to the fact that I hadn't used the speaker at an excessive volume and I hadn't dropped it. Then I connected the iphone to itunes to charge and randomly the speaker is back to normal?? Now this happens randomly throughout the month, anyone else experiencing this problem?

First try the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide: Restart, Reset, Restore from backup, Restore as new iPhone.
This may be a hardware problem with the speaker, in which case you need warranty service from an Apple Store Genius Bar.

I plugged in an non apple headset, afterwords the f****** s*** wont play on the iphone speaker. what ?

I plugged in an non apple headset, afterwords the f****** s*** wont play on the iphone speaker. what ?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone speaker does not work when switching call to hands free option

having problems with IPhone speaker, not working when switching phone calls to speaker mode, any suggestion?

Same problem - I was on the phone last night and the speaker switched off and can't figure out what happened. I tried to reset the phone, no sound is working. I can hear a phone call if I hold it up to my ear. Very frustrating as my phone is less than 3 months old. Tracy
