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 6 earpiece speaker part number

I dropped my iPhone 6 in water accidentally. Now I am not aware if Apple will cover under warranty because its not manufacturer fault. So please advise for warranty if there is any in such situation.
Also I am looking for the Part-Number for earpiece speaker for iPhone 6. I want to buy original part rather than some other vendors/manufacturer.
Thank you
Akee

1. The warranty doesn't cover liquid damage. If you had the AppleCare+ program, then that would probably cover it, with a deductible of $79 USD + tax.
2. Apple may offer to replace your iPhone 6 for $299 USD + tax. If you do so, then your warranty remaining time on the current device will transfer over to your replacement iPhone 6 from Apple.
3. There are no user serviceable parts for an iPhone. Therefore, you cannot buy 'original' parts anywhere. They do not exist. Any parts being sold for iPhones that you find are either going to be (A) Stolen, (B) Counterfeit (C) Salvaged.

My earpiece speaker has stopped working on my iphone since updating to ios 6.1.3

I have recently updated my iphone software to IOS 6.1.3 and now when I make a call the other person can only hear me when on loudspeaker or on Hands free in my vehicle. When the phone uses the earpiece speaker all the other person can hear is a loud whistling noise, has anybody else had this problem ? If so is there a remedy?

Hi rickwebby,
If you are having audio issues with your iPhone after updating to iOS 6.1.3, you may want to update to the recently released iOS 6.1.4 and see if the issue persists:

IPhone 4S Earpiece Speaker Muffled

The past week I have noticed all my phone calls have been muffled coming out of the earpiece speaker. If I turn on speaker phone then I can hear the conversation normally thus eliminating any volume or software issues. Any ideas for I go ahead and file for a replacement?

Chare,
I have notice muffled or bassy sounding audio in the ear piece. Not on all calls and mostly happens with a friend of mine who uses a Droid and again not all the time. (same carrier for both of us are on ATT).
I have not tried speaker phone while this problem is manifesting itself but if I have switched to a bluetooth headset and the problem goes away.
This problem existed on my first 4s and also on my replacement 4S. The replacement was for a different problem, power/lock button malfunction.
Short story I don't know if swapping your phone will solve your problem but considering what it cost you I would ask Apple to swap it out for you. Maybe the swap will work for you where it didn't for me.
PS - I worked around too many Jet Engines and my high frequency hearing is pretty poor so when the "Bass/Muffled" problem kicks in it makes it very difficult for me to understand people.

IPhone Earpiece not working

My iPhone earpiece doesn't make any sounds. If I have the headphones in, I can hear a phone conversation, or if i have it on speaker, but when it's up to my ear I can't hear a thing. Is there a way to turn this feature on and off, that i accidentally did, or is this a real problem???

Its a glitch. Try pluging in and unplugging the headphones about 8-10 times and it should clear up.

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,
Pedro.

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?

Earpiece speaker being flakey....

Hey I'm wondering if anyone has had similar issues and if you found a fix without going to the apple store. My earpiece speaker is being weird. It stopped working the other day for no apparent reason and I could only talk on speaker or with headphones. It wasn't picking up that headphones were in the socket because my external sound worked fine. It was just the earpiece. The following day it started working again for no apparent reason. Then it stopped and started working again.. And now it's not lol.
What do you guys think the problem is? It's pretty annoying and I dont have a store in my city... And before it's asked I did a hard restart and restored to factory in which neither worked. Thanks.

The standard troubleshooting steps in order are:
Power your iPhone off and on.
An iPhone reset.
Restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
Restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
If no change after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, your iPhone has a hardware problem.
You can call AppleCare to handle a warranty claim over the phone, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby. Unless you plan on visiting San Antonio sometime soon, you can call AppleCare.

My 3GS phone, the earpiece speaker shuts off about 5 seconds into phone calls.

My 3GS phone, the earpiece speaker shuts off about 5 seconds into a phone call, Is this an easy user correctable software fix or a hardware problem that requires service?

Yes. Apple doesn't repair most problems. If out of warranty, you may be eligable for this:
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPhone model
Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c,
iPhone 5
$269
iPhone 4s
$199
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
$149
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax. When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above. This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare product coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

Earpiece speaker

My son had his iphone replaced about 4-5 months ago for some hardware issues that could not be resolved. The one they replaced is now having an issue with the ear piece speaker not working. He went to the genius bar and was told that a replacement phone only has a warranty of 3 months and since it is out of that timeframe they will not replace/fix the earpiece
Any help here???

Very easy, water goes right through the earpiece mesh directly into the earpiece speaker. Suck it out, some do it with their mouth.

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?

HT203433 I am unable to get any music on my iPhone 3GS either from my computer or iTunes stores. Just managed to download music from iTunes onto my iPad so assume my iPhone is at fault?

Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.

My iPhone 4S speaker suddently doesn't work properly from one week ago? How I can do? 4s is still under warranty?

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.
