IPhone 6+ speaker holes got plugged up

Believe it or not, my iPhone 6+ got pushed against an Oreo cookie, and the speaker holes got plugged with frosting. I used a damp Qtip to wipe the frosting off, then, as sound level was still low, very gently put a damp wood toothpick in each hole, which helped a bit. How can I get the rest out, and restore speaker volume, without harming the phone?

It seems to happen. Not too many days ago there was a similar question about removing custard. You could try putting a vacuum against the grill and see if you can suck the remaining material out. You might not get it all but enough. Or if you have an Apple store nearby you could take it there (or phone) and ask them what can be done.

  • IPhone Earphone Speaker volume suddenly got very low

    Hi,

    I think this is a hardware problem and getting to replace a Earphone Speaker.
    Does anyone knows is this software or a hardware problem?
    Its works fine over BT or earpiece.
    I can only hear at very low volume.
    Thanks,
    Ivan

    i just did this with my moms original iPhone. before the update the volume was fine, after it got noticeablly low. i could bearly hear anything. used the sim card eject tool that came with my 3GS and poked at the speaker very lightly and noticed it got higher. i dont get how its related to the 3.0 software update but that fixed the problem for some strange reason?

  • 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.
    Learn more about troubleshooting iPhone hardware issues.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • 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.

  • Why is my iPhone 4 speaker not working?

    My iPhone 4 speaker has stopped working. It was working fine yesterday and now it's not, it still rings and plays alerts, but it won't play music, videos or podcasts. I've done a hard rest, played with all the iTunes settings and volume options. Suggestions?

    Do you hear when a headset is plugged in?  If so, plug and unplug the headset several times to get the phone unstuck from headset mode.

  • HT1688 ok my iphone died and when i plugged it in to charge it a usb cord is at the bottom and then an error pointing to the itunes logo is all my phone will do what do i do?

    my iphone died and when I plugged it in to charge a usb cord came up on the screen at the bottom then an error on top of it pointing to the itunes logo is the only thing my phone shows on the screen, what do I do?

    You could try restoring and staying away from that backup.  I've had that happen to me before on my iPhone 4 from a corrupt backup.  You could be coincidently mixing the two issues, sounds to me like you got lucky and your phone is A-OK but you may be using a corrupt backup.

  • My iPhone 5 haven't got Bluetooth

    Hi Apple!
    I have got iPhone5. Yesterday I bought Bluetooth headset but my telephone doesn't found! I'm tested iPhone 5S and headset worked very well!

    Did you activate it?
    If not, turn iPhone completely off, and then plug in the charger to the computer while holding the Home button, restore, and it should be fixed.

  • IPhone earpiece speaker fault

    Hi my iPhone earpiece speaker crackled twice when I made a phone call and then stopped working can any one tell me if this is a common fault? it works fine with the ear phones or BlueTooth car kit.

    Hold the Front Page - - I've fixed it
    Thanks Goshia - plugging/unplugging the headset 8 times cleared the problem.
    Now why does that do that?!!
    Thanks again! I no longer have to look like an idiot with something growing out of my ear.

  • IPhone will not charge when plugged into computer

    My phone was not working, and so I took it to the apple store nearby. Here were the problems:
    -error message saying "this device not made to work with iPhone"
    -would not charge when plugged into computer OR wall charger
    -person on other end of phone calls said i sounded really far away and had trouble hearing me
    -when i shut it off, it restarts itself immediately
    -cant do a manual reset holding the power and center buttons at same time
    -when plugged into the computer, mouse freezes, and a message appears saying ""power surge on hub port A usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port."
    At the genuis bar they told me they cant help me cause that little water damage indicator inside the headphone hole is pink instead of white! I have never ever ever ever ever EVER gotten my phone directly wet. The only thing i could think of was the humidity in the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, and using the timer to use hair remover on my legs lol. But i think this is totally unfair, they wont repair my phone, or even really look at it because of this supposed water damage. My phone has worked fine up to this point, and the thing that happened that started all of this is when i dropped it about a foot off the ground in a DRY parking lot.
    Is there any way they will replace my iphone at no charge?

    Well don't give up try again maybe your luck will change when you go back up there,let somebody else look at your phone not the same person that told you that.I would get a second and a 3rd option about my phone.When you go back don't even tell them what somebody already told you up there ones.
    And after the 3rd time I'll ask them well can they send your phone off to be fixed,It might not be nothing wrong with your phone it might be just they eyes playing tricks on them.Cause I promise you I know my phone had gotten some water in it cause I was sitting on the porch one day me and about 6 other people one of my cousin came out and through a bucket of water at my brother and I was sitting right on the side of him.And when I say my phone look like I than gave it a bath witch when they did that I had already had call the Apple store and told them something was wrong with my phone.And they had gave me appt to come up there,so I went to the Apple store I wanted say two day's latter after I made the appt to let them see my phone but my cousin and brother was playing with that water the day before I had to go so I guess that's why I was mad cause I was going to get other phone the next day after apple look at my old phone.So even with all that they still gave me other phone and I don't see how I didn't have no water in my phone cause of how much water they had through on my phone.
    I guess I was luck cause if they would have told me that I would have freaked out so badly.And the reason why cause I wouldn't had my phone for five days and for them to tell me they couldn't do something oh yea they would have done something cause I would have went to jail that day for tearing up something in the store that worth my 400 and something dollars I spent on my phone and it would have bent one of them computer that would have bent history.
    But I'M telling you,you going to be okay don't give up.Make you other appt and see what they say.

  • IPhone Ear Speaker Failure

    After but one week, my iPhone ear speaker quit working.  People could hear me talk, but I couldn't hear them through the earpiece.  But if I switched to "speaker" mode, I could hear them. Weird.  Local dealer simply gave me a new iPhone.  But I'm wondering: Has this happened to anyone else?

    I'm having the same problem. Did the recommendation of plugging in the earphones in/out about 8 times resolve the problem?
