Iphone 4 with half a hole in the headphone Jack HELP

Hi I need some help i have a new iphone 4 that after 4 days i tried to plug in the headphones to discover they would not slide in all the way. I took to a apple distributor near home and they tested it and looked closer to find that there appeared to be something in the hole or the hole was half formed. My provider took the phone for repair/replace and now say i put something in the hole and will charge me to fix it.
Has amyone else ever had this problem as they are saying it has never happened before.

In UK by law you can just send back within 14 days with no charge except any calls made
May be different in your country
Still seems very strange- and your sure you dont have a headphone socket with a piece missing on end?
Dont do this but I may try getting a thin piece of plastic and putting a tiny bit of superglue on then press it onto this bit in hole then wait and then pull, only a suggestion...

  • After installing an update I am no longer able to hear sound out of my speakers. A red light comes on where the headphone jack is. I have already attempted to trip to switch with a wooden toothpick in the headphone jack but have not had luck.

    Have you gone into system prefs nad made sure that the headphone port is set to audio out. And not audio in.
    Also make sure that you are selecting built in speakers for your audio output.
    If that does not fix it try doing a Pram reset.
    Shut your mac down.
    Press the startup button.
    Hold down the following keys. Command Option P and R. Wait till you hear the chime 2 times. Then let go. See if that fixes it.

  • What is the little hole next to the headphone jack for?

    What is the little hole next to the headphone jack for? Not the SIM card eject on the side. The similar hole near the headphone jack.

    The hole on the top is your noise cancellation for phone calls and application VOIPs. It may also be used on other kinds of apps such as memos and video recordings.

  • How do I flip screen so the headphone jack is on top?

    I recently upgraded from the iPhone 4s to the iPhone 5s.  I hate the iPhone 5s for one reason only: the headphone jack is on the bottom of the phone.  I realize I should not care so much, this phone makes me irrationally angry each and every time I try to use headphones with it. If I am working out, I have to set the phone upside down on the machine as I run. If the phone is in my pocket, I am constantly flipping it over every time I take it out of my pocket. That is annoying in and of itself, but it also causes the headphone cord to get tangled and shorten when I put it back into my pocket. Also, it makes it difficult to work on the phone while listening to my headphones. The cord sticking out from the bottom prevents me from using my pinky to stabilize the phone in my hand. I almost never dropped my iPhone 4s in over two years that I had it. I drop the iPhone 5s once a week because it won't let me hold it securely.  I would not buy an iPhone 5s if I had it to do over again.
    Anyway, since I am stuck with this stupid phone, is there any way to flip the screen 180 degrees so that the button, headphone jack, and speakers would all be on the top.  I am tired of cursing my phone and Apple every time I use it.

    The LG Tones are, in my opinion comparable or better in quality to yurbuds (though I can't say I think yurbuds are that great). I also have a pair of Jabras that are designed especially for sports use. They take a bit of getting used to putting on but they are very good. Not having a cord rubbing against my shirt while I run is a great thing.
    I haven't seen one in a while but there used to be adapters (on a lanyard, I think) you could plug a headset into which then connect to your device over BT. You could therefore use a headset of your choice. If I recall, Motorola used to make one.

  • Where can I send my phone to get the headphone jack repaired?

    Yesterday, I accidentally got the tip of my headphones stuck inside the headphone jack of my iPhone 5s. I know that other people have had this problem and looked up various tutorials on how to get it out. I used superglue for all of them and now I am afraid I may have superglued the headphone jack in place. This needs to repaired because my phone is stuck on headphone mode so I can't hear music, alarms, calls, texts, etc. when they come in.
    Where can I send my phone to be repaired? Should I do it by mail or take it to the Genius bar at apple? Also, what kind of insurance could cover it, and how much does it cost? Thanks

    You can visit an Apple Store next to your place, but you might think about making an appointment before you visit to avoid long waiting times in front of the Genuis Bar.
    You can also arrange the service by contacting Apple Support:

  • My iPhone 5 is suddenly having audio issues through the headphone jack.

    So this is a strange situation, and I'll try to explain in depth so that someone might be able to suggest a solution. As reference, I have an iPhone 5 that I purchased in late-February. I've had every other model of iPhone except for the first iPhone, so I am pretty familiar with the device. I used to be on AT&T, and switched to Verizon when I upgraded to the iPhone 5.
    Two days ago, I was on a six hour road-trip, and I'd been playing my music like normal through my car's auxillary cable. After stopping for lunch, I went to plug my music again, but once the music started to play, I realized that only the drums were playing at normal levels while the vocals were very, very soft. I switched through a few different songs, and realized that all the songs were being played at different levels; sometimes the backup vocals were normal levels while the instrumentation and lead vocals were quiet, or vice versa. I decided to plug my iPhone in to charge, and when I did this, the audio levels were all normal. However, the iPhone was NOT charging. I removed the charger, and the audio went back to being weak and distorted. I went back and forth at this for a bit, trying to figure out what was going on.
    Since then and after some testing, I realize that my iPhone will now only charge anywhere EXCEPT in the car charger (I simply use my USB cable that came with my iPhone and plug it into the power adapter I have in the car). This morning, I tested the audio in my home speaker system, and I had the same audio issues. Only half the song's tracks would be at normal audio levels, while the other half would be at a very quiet, almost nonexistent level. I tried plugging my charger into the phone to see if that'd make a difference, but instead of the audio going back to normal like it does in the car, the music stopped and there was just crackling and very noisy distortion sounds.
    I'm super confused and not sure what to do. This has never happened to me with any of my iPhones. I am updating my software right now, and am hoping that that may help somehow. Otherwise, I'm at a loss. Any suggestions as to what I should do would be greatly appreciated!

    Do the new iMacs have digital audio out through the headphone jack?
    Yes.

  • Can an iphone with a case fit in the michael kors wallet clutch?

    can an iphone with a case fit in the michael kors wallet clutch? I was thinking of getting it but I do not want to take my pittsburgh penguins case off just so it can fit inside of it.

    Yes I saw that article from before. The problem I am having is one that is unique to the PowerMac G5 and does not effect the Mac Pro. The problem I am having is that the PowerMac G5 uses a plastic shield that won't close when you install an Accelero. In order to get this card to work some people have even cut a hole into the shield as you can see with the first picture from this article:
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/Graphics/AcceleroS1R2on_ATIX800.html
    Needless to say I feel very uncomfortable doing this. This is why when I came across an article that showed people bending their Acceleros it gave me hope that I could install one with out having to damage my computer and risk having air flow problems. That is why I am wanting to know if bending the Accelero would work like in this forum:

  • Does anyone else notice the light from the headphone jack on their white iPhone 4?

    I noticed that whenever i turn on my lockscreen or whenever my iphone's screen is on, you can see light from the audio headphone jack. Anyone else have this problem? ( Iphone 4 white)

    Clarification, iPhoneMac is correct. There is light noticible at the bottom of the Headphone Jack.
    However, when I responded, I checked the 6 iPhone 4 here and none of them showed this in lit room normal usage. In Dark Room especially with the Screen Brightness turned up you can see a bit of light (glow) at the very bottom of the Jack, if you look right down the barrel.

  • Is the headphone jack flush on the new iphone 3gs?

    i was just curious if they left the headphone jack flush like the iphone 3g?

    Yes .. big improvement over my 2G in that respect (and many others).
    But choosing a case which does not interfere with some headphone plugs can still be an issue.

  • The metal part of my devices headphone jack ( Iphone 4s ) got removed and now my headphone jack can't fit into my iphone. Help

    I was listening to music on my Iphone one day with my beats, while I unplug my headphones the metal part that surrounds the headphone jack of my Iphone also comes out and is lost. None of my headphone jacks can fit into the iphone without it being loose and falling out. Is there anywhere or way I can get this resovled ?

    Sure, get the headphone jack replaced. Or do an Out-of-Warranty replacement at your nearest Apple Store for $199 USD.

  • Does The Headphone Jack on the mac book air also work with microphone

    (MacBook Air) Does The headphone Jack work as a microphone jack like the MacBook Pro does

    The current MacBook Air uses a TRRS 3.5 mm mini jack, just like the iPhone. As long as the intended device (headphone/microphone) is compatible with this jack standard, you are fine.
    TRRS (tip, ring, ring, sleeve)
    You can also buy adapters that will "split" the connections into separate Mic and speaker channels, for use with recording equipment using other jacks. Say, for instance you have a microphone that uses a 1/4" jack.

  • Is it possible to have 2 icloud (from 2 different iphones with different apple ids) on the same computer?

    I am inquiring as to if you can 2 different icloud accounts (that come from 2 different iphones with different apple ids) on the same computer. I would like both iphones to be able to back up to the same computer since we have different accounts/pictures/mail etc.

    Yes, if you create 2 seperate user accounts.

  • 9 month old Zen Micro with the headphone jack problem

    So, I've been putting up with the headphone jack problem for a few months now, and i've finally decided to get it repaired or fixed. I emailed Creative a few months back and they told me to send it in. My question is, since I am out of warranty, will they repair the unit or send me a whole new one all together?
    thanks,
    mike

    Actually, I just sent in my 7-month old Micro in b/c of the headphone jack problem and they sent me a brand new shrink-wrapped one. They <EM>didn't </EM>charge me for anything. All I had to do was wait 2 weeks for them to send it back to me (grueling but doable) and pay about 2.44 for shipping the micro to them. So now I'd have three batteries if it weren't for the fact that one of them swelled up; I have NO IDEA how that happened. So yeah I guess the point of the post is that you don't get charged anything even if you're out of the 90-day labor warranty.

  • I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm mic and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lecture to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lectures to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
    traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
    Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
    external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
    Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
    ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
    wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
    Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
    be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
    most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
    is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
    Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
    electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
    Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
    remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
    Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
    & mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
    Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
    at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
    PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
    or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?
