IPhone 4S Speaker broken

Hello Guys,
I have an iPhone 4S 32GB Black and suddenly it looses its speaker sound a while ago. I was playing some games on it and I noticed the sound is distorted and then after that it just lost sound. It was not dropped on water or anything like that. Headphone jack is still working though. Tried cleaning it with cotton buds having no luck. Tried restarting the phone and still no luck. Whenever I blow some air on the SPEAKER it gives some sounds for like a second. Putting the speaker very near on my ear and I can hear a very low sound even if the volume is on max. Im starting to think its loose or something but I am not sure since It just happened without any reason and I only dropped it like twice and its not really that high (1-2 feet).
What should I do with this problem? I just got this phone 6-7 months ago
Could I just send this to an Apple Retail store and have them check it out and replace it? This is my very first Apple product and I am not sure how to get this fixed...

I tried to restore it and for some reason the sound is back but the Speaker is blown out. It can play sound on half volume and the sound quality is stuttering and lots of noise so it is blown out but over half of volume and the sound will be gone, lowering will bring back the distorted sound.
Can I take this to an Apple Retailer and have them fix it or maybe replace it? I tried checking if my iPhone is still on warranty and I think it is. I don't usually use the speaker on this phone and I only use it mostly for alarms sometimes so could this be a manufacturing problem? I got 2 other siblings who got the iPhone 4S the same time as I did and theirs are still working fine even if they use the device a bit more aggressive than I do...

The charger port pin in an iphone 5 is broken. What are the possible solutions to this issue?

The charger port pin in an iphone 5 is broken. What are the possible solutions to this issue?

It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
Symptoms
A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
Resolution
Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.
Which is exactly what eelw wrote.

Hi Gazpan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend using the steps in this article to back up your iPhone if possible:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
You may also find this advice helpful for your situation:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you no longer have your iOS device
If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account.
If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Depends, if you've synced with this iTunes, while that passcode was enabled, you won't be prompted to enter the passcode when connecting your phone. If you have not synced, while that passcode was enabled, you will. So, if you fall in the later, there is no way to do what you want.

Have you tried any troubleshooting steps, like resetting you iPhone, for example? Or restoring it?
If not by all means do so because your problem could be caused by software glitches that could be solved resetting or restoring.
Warranty is for one year from date of purchase and two years if you bought Apple Care at the time of purchase. If your iPhone has a hardware issue within warranty, it would be replaced by Apple. If it is already out of warranty, you might be eligible for an out of warranty replacement where you pay a much lower amount but this varies according to the country and currency, so it is better to check with Apple or with an authorized reseller.

Iphone 5 speaker is not working

Hi
My iphone 5 speaker is not working and I am out of 1 year warranty. I feel bad to pay for speaker again after spending 700$ on a phone that doesnt last 1.5 year. Is there anything i can do about it. I tried resetting my phone, restarting and all. I believe a lot of customers have this problem - making me believe this is manufacturing fault. I know i can pay 60 bucks to get a new speaker; but is there anything Apple can do? should I do anything at all?
thanks
Mc

Hello there, mcMlast.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with no sound from the speaker on your iOS device:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.

i have acidently poured candle wax into my iPhone 3gs speaker!
I have used a pin and the like to get it out from where I can see, but I am pretty sure it is also somehwere else in the system, because I have to press it on loud speaker every call I make.
Where would I get help fromm an expert in Sydney, Australia?

Not an easy fix. Search for a third-party repair shop where you live. Apple doesn't fix stuff like this, but they will swap your phone for US $149.

If whatever is wrong with your phone falls under the hardware warranty, Apple will replace your phone, with a refurbished unit, at no cost to you. Make an appointment at an Apple store.

IPhone 5 speaker not working correctly

My iPhone 5 speaker works, and it doesn't if it gets turned up too loud, or my phone rings for a call, it's like it's too loud and the speaker stops working until I blow into the speaker. This doesn't always work either and requires acouple tries. Can someone please help? I don't want to send it in

There is a known problem with the original speaker module installed in the Iphone5. If you experience crackling, static, or no sound at all from your phone and you've checked to make sure the volume is on, then it's likely an issue with the speaker module. Apple will replace the phone or module for free for a year from the date of purchase but MAKE SURE YOU MAKE AN APPOINTMENT with the Genius bar, don't just show up, they only do repairs or exchanges if you have an appointment. You can make one on line. WARNING - if you purchased your Iphone5 from Verizon or another carrier and they are willing to exchange it make sure you don't get a refurbished phone because it's likely to have a defective original module in it too. Make sure you get a NEW, recently manufactured Iphone5 with the new generation speaker module. I went through three phones before I went to Apple instead of Verizon and got it replaced. if they have a new speaker module in the Apple Store, they can just put a new module in your phone on the spot and you're good to go. If they don't have one in stock, they just give you a new phone.

My iphone music speaker is not working what can i do?

my iphone music speaker is not working what can i do ?

Just to make sure, did you check the mute button on the side of the phone?
If it is not set, can you hear music if you're using the headphones?
If yes, listen to music using your headphones, then unplug and start the music again. If you toggle the volume up and down, can you see the volume slider moving?
Do you get any sound, for example when your phone is ringing?
