IPhone earphones not working correctly

I have a problem with the headphones that came with my iPhone 3GS last year. The left earphone is playing audio at a softer volume than the right one. What would be the reason for a problem like that? The mini remote on the cable is also playing up from time to time. I'm still within my warranty period so would Apple replace my headset?
Thanks

I previously had this issue. The only solution (which is a stupid one to recommend) is to lightly hit the right ear phone on a table. This worked for me. I wish I had a better solution to give you but this is what I have done in the past. Since your still in warranty try replacing them that works too.

  • Need help iPhone 5 not working correctly

    my iPhone 5 keeps pressing all the keys around the key I want it to press on the keyboard also problems using lock screen numbers have re-started and the phone just reverts to not working correctly
    also when I got this phone I did it from a back up of my old iPhone 4 but not all the songs have fully downloaded (they are there, but cannot play) when I look on iTunes it says I have no songs that arn't on my iPhone that I've bought?
    Should I take my phone back to my carrier which is 3? Or make an appointment at the Genius Bar?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).
    Backups do not contain media, all the media should be in iTunes on your computer.  Simply select the content desired to sync to the device and sync.

  • Iphone shuffle Not Working Correctly

    Since doing a full restore of my iphone which reloaded all of my songs, my shuffle doesn't work correctly any more.  I'm on 5.1.1.  I start a shuffle and 2 or max 3 songs play and then it quits.  The screen shows the next song but no sound, either with earphones or speaker.  The button at the bottom is showing the stop music bar, implying that the music is playing, but the top bar that shows time left on the song is not moving.  If I hit the stop bar then rehit the start arrow, again nothing happens.  I can go back to the playlist and restart a shuffle and a new song plays, then 1 or 2 more, then nothing.  Any ideas?

    This will fix the problem...

    Basically sync the iphone with iTunes on your computer.
    Uncheck sync music to clear the iphone from all music. Then sync this way to clear the iphone. It may ask if you want to delete the music on the iphone. Say yes to that.
    Once done with the above step. Check the box to sync music.
    Then re-sync your iphone to reload all your music back on the iphone.
    This fixed the problem for me. I got this solution from the above link.

  • My home button on iphone 5c not working correctly

    Hi,
    Any ideas please - I have an iphone 5c that is about 17 mths old and has been working fine until yesterday when the home button became unresponsive - not all the time but intermittently.
    I have turned the phone off for a while and then turned it back on but it made no difference.
    This is the first problem I have had with this phone - it's been amazing til yesterday!
    Thanks in advance.

    First, reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not work, and to make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test Home Button.
    If the phone works as before the update, restore from the latest backup. If the problem comes back, the backup data contained corrupt data, causing your issues.
    If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider

  • Create iPod or iPhone Version not working correctly

    When I select an MP4 movie and then choose Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone Version, the movie is converted and a new version is created, but they don't work correctly. In two cases, the resulting file has audio, but the video is missing (just white). With another file, the video is there but the audio is missing. How can I troubleshoot this and get the videos converted properly so I can play them on my iPod?

    Having the same issue here. With mencoder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEncoder) I create an H264 file, after that I create an MP4 file with mp4creator (http://mp4creator.sourceforge.net/). Then I can import the .mp4 file in iTunes just fine, it plays well. But when I select the file, go to menu Advanced, choose 'Create iPod or iPhone Version', the file is converted, audio is fine but video stays white .

  • My touch screen on my iPhone is not working correctly. I touch one part of the screen and another part responds. Is the there any way to solve this problem?

    My touch screen screen is not working properly.  I touch one App or icon and an different App/icon opens.  It is an ultra sensitive touch screen, any idea on how to solve this issue?

    Yes!  Stop using the charger!  My husband noticed it was worse when plugged in. One apple guy told me "restore" ... I did all that and it did not help. After I stopped using the charger, it stopped messing up. I used my husband's charger and all is well. 
    Later, an apple employee told me to bring in the charger for a trade in, because they had a recall on some of them.
    I haven't traded it yet, but I plan on it.
    Good luck!  Let me know!

    Removing and re-inserting the SIM card is not a standard troubleshooting step for any and all iPhone problems and not even for a connection problem.
    Well removing the SIM and reinserting it has certainly proved useful for other phones, so I don't see why it shouldn't help as a last resort for an iPhone, especially when the nearest store is a hundred miles away. The Apple Tech guys often suggest it, as well, though admittedly I have never known it to help.
    But we are getting off-topic and should probably move this discussion to another thread if you want to pursue it.

  • IPhone headset not working correctly on iPad

    The playback controls on my Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic from my iPhone 4 don't seem to work on my iPad 3. Is thre a setting I am missing to activate that function. They worked on my original iPad and they work on my iPhone 4. Any ideas??

    Yes, the plug is as far in as it can go. The sloping design of the case does expose part of the plug.

  • Aperture to iPhone sync not working correctly

    When sync'ing photo's from Aperture to my iPhone 6+ , I have filters that work perfectly in Aperture, but I still end up with photo's I shouldn't have (should have been filtered out) sent to my iPhone.
    is this a known bug?
    How do I fix this?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Ignore what Apple have said about my iPhone. it's a 6+ with iOS8.

  • The APP STORE app on the iPhone 4S not working correctly for UPDATES now.

    It used to be, when I had APPS that needed to be updated, I would see a badge on the APP STORE icon with the number of apps that needed to be updated. Then I could tap on the icon for the APP STORE, and I would see the UPDATE button showing the badge as well. I would also see the actual apps needing updating on screen.
    NOW, even though there are APPS that need updating, there is NO badge on the APP STORE icon, there is NO BADGE on the UPDATE button, and no apps will appear on screen. If I tap the UPDATE button, after a few seconds, the apps WILL appear on screen, the badge WILL appear on the UPDATE button, and, if I go to the home screen, the APP STORE icon has the badge with the number.
    It is as if the apps that need updating do not automatically go to the APP STORE app anymore until I summon them by pressing the update button. This happened ever since I did an iPhone update from backup a few days ago.

    try hard resetting the device, holding the power button and the home button at the same time, and reset all settings (wont delete anything) settings>general>reset>reset all settings

  • IPhone Video Not Working Correctly

    So I just got an iPhone and I love it, but the video on it seems a bit buggy. I have a few videos, a movie trailer, and a music video on there and sometimes the video doesn't play and sometimes just the audio plays. Sometimes the video and audio play and then the movie just quits to the main video selection screen.
    Some tech stuff you should know...
    All files are .mov 480x320 and encoded with MPEG-4 video codec and AAC audio
    Also note that they all play fine when played from iTunes.
    Please help hope I don't have to take my phone to the shop already

    It doesn't matter where you got it, as long as it was never opened or repaired by anyone other than Apple.

  • I have an iPhone 4 on contract and its not working correctly , what should I do ?

    I have an iPhone 4 on contract , I only have this 5 and a half months and the iPhone is not working correctly and i do not have insurance .. What should I do ??

    It sounds like you did not purchase it at the Apple store? That doesn't matter - you can still take it to Apple to troubleshoot it.
    You can also try to troubleshoot it with the help of the folks here - if you want to do that, let me know and I'll ask that your post be moved to the iPhone forum where you're more likely to get knowledgeable answers, ok.

  • IPhone 3Gs notes not working correctly

    I use notes app all the time on my iPhone and noticed today that it is not working correctly. When I make a new note it takes forever to save it, meaning the little indicator keeps spinning on top showing the iPhone is working. Then once it is saved if I close it and come back into it to add something more to the note, it saves it for a second and then deletes what I just added. What can I do to fix this? I have a 3Gs software version 4.0.1. Thanks

    I did the reset and it 'appears' to be working. I still need to test it more before I am convinced. The reason I say this is because it still takes an abnormally long time to save a new note. I simply type one word into the notepad and say 'done' and the indicator at the top spins for several minutes. The information is still in the note so maybe its working. I wonder why it takes that long? Is that typical? I dont recall if it was always like that or I just noticed it because the function was not working properly??
