Lifeproof case with iPhone 4s - headphone controls?

Just reached out the long dollar for a lifeproof case. So far I like it, with a few reservations. Biggest issue is that with Apple earbuds plugged into Lifeproof's adapter, the controls on the buds don't seem to work. Anyone else have this issue?

I've noticed the same. Work around - Plug the Apple headphones into the device first and unplug then connect the Lifeproof adaptor, plug the headphones in. The controls should work.

With new os 5.1 for iPhone, the headphone controls doesn't work

i've noticed that with new release of os 5.1, the headphone controls doesn't work. no volumes controls neither the central control.
with ipad the same headphones works well.

I'm having the same issue, but without having upgraded to iOS 6.1 - it just started out of the blue last night.
Timeline:
It suddenly heated up, I turned it off. Battery at 87%
After maybe 45 minutes, I turned it on again. Battery at 45%. It would not charge at this point.
I tried MANY things, including turning off WiFi, mobile data, location services, Gmail sync (though not Exchange sync, which had given no problems before. I'd recently changed some Gmail settings, so I reverted them).
I tried to restore, but my crappy internet was unable to download the iOS 6.1 file.
I looked it up on the internet and performed a hard reset, after which the phone began to charge, to my delight.
I charged it to nearly full (92%) then lay in bed using Twitter and iBooks for some time, after which battery was at 65%.
After sleeping for around 7 hours, the battery lies dead. Attempts to charge it (both from the wall adapter, which is a standard India 220V charger, and from my laptop) are making it flash the Apple logo for around 4 seconds before the screen turns off; this repeats ad infinitum.
What do? The nearest Apple Store is three hours away and I have exams on; can't get away before Saturday at the earliest, so I'd like to have some use out of the phone in the near future.

LifeProof Case for iPhone 6 Issues

Hello Hello,
How is it going fellow Apple heads?
My wife bought an iPhone 6 around Jan this year. As I know she is accident prone, especially with liquid damage, I opted for the LifeProof Fre case.
Had this on her iPhone 5 and she destroyed it but at least it did not get liquid damaged while the seals were intact.
Were has had a few accidents with this new phone already. My nearest wall already has wear marks where I keep banging my head against it. She hands me the phone this afternoon and said the screen's not working after another accident. I take the case off and found liquid did get inside. Quickly dried the phone and it seems ok, did not get in the phone as far as I can tell.
When i washed the case off I found the thin membrane that is glued on the side of the case to allow Touch ID functionality has come unglued and that is my bet how the liquid got to the phone.
Phew, long story, huh? I guess I am asking if anyone out there has come across the issue as well. Like to hear from you.
Fare well Apple lovers,
J

The thin membrane over the fingerprint scanner is the biggest drawback for me on the Lifeproof cases. It can come off easily. Lifeproof does offer a 1 year replacement warranty on their cases though. I actually just filled out the forms last week for an unrelated issue and they are sending me a brand new Fre case for my iPhone 6 at absolutely no charge. I would recommend doing that. You can find the form on their website.

Lifeproof Cases for iPhone 4

When will new shipments of the TEAL and GREEN lifeproofs cases be available to purchase online?

Julian, the phones are of the same size, but when you choose a case for the phones, there are a few things to be aware of. A slight difference will determine if a case will suit the phone. I wrote a blog about it. Check it out:

Problem with IPhone 5 headphone port?

My headphones will not work unless I hold the connector in the port, anyone else having this problem? This is my first iphone and I'm new to verizon so I'm not sure what to do? Can they help me at the verizon store or do I need to make an appointment at the apple store (it's about an hour away!) Thanks!

I have a one week old iphone 5 and i have the same problem. Today I wanted to listen to some itunes on my new phone, for the first time. Right away, there was a problem - no sound through those cute new earbuds! So I tried another headset, but it didn't work so it must be the jack.
Here is what happens: When I plug in, sometimes there is sound through the earphone but it quickly stops and goes back to the iphone speakers and then the song on itunes stops playing. No amount of jiggling the jack around or pushing it in farther/pulling it out a bit works to solve the problem. It happens with both types of headphones that I tried.
Obviously it's the port. I looked on the internet and found a guy in Denmark with the same problem with an iphone 4. He showed via YouTube that there are two contacts within the port, one to switch between the speakers and the headset and the other contact for turning itunes on/off. It seems to me that there is a problem with those contacts within the port. He shows you how to take apart the phone (uh no thanks, gosh) and clean the contacts, but that is not something I think I'll try since this phone is brand new.
I am not happy about this.
Do I take it to Verizon (somehow I don't think so because I bet all they will do is send it back) or do I take it to an Apple store? I bought their Apple care thing.

Is anyone having issues with their iPhone 5 music controls in a 2012 Hyundai Accent, both on Bluetooth and using a headphone or USB cable? My music plays but I cannot skip songs without physically using the iPhone 5 controls. Thanks!

Hello,
I have an AT&T iPhone 5 purchased from an AT&T store - it is a normal phone, no changes, no jailbreaking. I tried using my phone and my girlfriend’s iPhone 5 with the USB auxiliary cable in my 2012 Hyundai Accent. No matter what connector I use (headphone, USB, auxiliary) it doesn't charge or allow me to use the Hyundai’s controls to change music. Music will play through the Bluetooth system, but I cannot control the music unless I physically touch my iPhone. My iPhone 4 has a USB auxiliary cable and works perfectly; it charges and I have full control of my music without having to touch my phone. Nothing works even if I use the adapter that connects the iPhone 4 charger end to the iPhone 5. The picture below shows the iPhone 4 USB cable but it needs to have the (blue) iPhone 5 adapter.
Here’s the best part of this whole situation. I was told by Hyundai Customer Care that there is a specific USB cable available for my iPhone and that I need to contact a dealer. However, two Hyundai dealerships have told me that they do not have a cable, that Apple has not made a cable for the iPhone 5, and that I need to contact Apple directly or order it from an Apple store. It gets better. I contacted an Apple Store and they told me to contact Hyundai. I explained what I wrote above and they put on a call with Apple Customer Care. After 37 minutes on the phone with Apple, they still couldn't give me a satisfactory answer on how to get this cable or if they even had a cable (Case ID 505467409).
So here is the magical question: Is there a working adapter for the iPhone 5 that connect to a 2012 Hyundai Accent? It needs to play music, charge the phone, and work with the car’s controls. Thanks!

The problem is that you're using an uncertified lightning to 30-pin connector (the blue cable). If you purchase the 30-pin to lightning cable (either online, at an Apple store or an authorized dealer) it should work fine.
I have a 2011 Tuscon and tried the lightning to USB cable that came with the phone - no dice. Talked to my local Hyundai dealer and they don't have an eta on the Hyundai lightning cables (I'm sure it's in the works).

I just bought iPhone 5c. Looking for LifeProof case. Does Nuud will protect my screen from scratches and shatter? Or should I go with Fre?

Thank you for suggestions.

Have a look at this comparison from the manufacturer.

Klipsch S4i headphones do not work properly with iPhone 5

I've got a really weird issue with my iPhone 5. I previously purchased an iPod Nano 16GB as well as Klipsch S4i headphones. The headphones has a console with 3 buttons. The topmost button is to increase volume and conversely, the lowest button decreases volume. No problem with either of these buttons.
The center button is operated by the number of times you push it. One push pauses the track (song) being played. A second push resumes play. Two pushes in a row causes the iPod to advance to the next track in the playlist. Three pushes in a row cause the iPod to go back to the beginning of the track being played. If you push three times consecutively then you go back to the track prior to the track which is being played, and so forth depending upon the number of times you keep pushing three times. With me so far? So the S4i console works just fine with the iPod.
However, the S4i console does not work well with the iPhone 5. I went to the Apple store this evening and they restored (reset?) the iPhone 5. I then restored the data to it from my computer once I got home. So the state of the S4i console is this. Push the center button once and it pauses. That is okay. Push the center button again and it resumes play. Still good.
Push the center button twice in a row and it sometimes advances to the next track. Not always unless you are very fast at depressing the button. Push the button three times and it may or may not go back to the beginning of the track. This seems to be a function of 'how fast' you are pushing the button. Literally, you have to be like Quick Draw McGraw on the darn button. That is not the case with the iPod Nano.
Pushing the button multiple times does not necessarily take you forward to the next track or at the start of the one playing or to the track before. While typing this, I managed to get the center button to work better so I thought maybe it is going out. But I don't experience that same problem with the iPod Nano and it was not a problem on the two tech's iPods/iPhones at the Apple store when tried with my S4i headphones attached. So I don't think there is any issue with the center button on the S4i's console or those headphones in general. I also don't think it is a hardware issue as the headphone jack does not seem loose. I have only been using my iPhone 5 for about a week.
In fact, I was able to get the advance function as well as the reverse function for going back to the beginning of the track to work by depressing the center button quickly but if you want to jump back a track then you really have to hit it quickly multiple times. In trying to go back to the beginning of a track or jumping back another or multiple tracks, then if the track you went back to the beginning of begins to play then the pushing three times maneuver does not work. I have no clue what is going on other than it has got to be a programming issue with the iPhone 5. Call me a cynic but I have my doubts that exchanging my new iPhone 5 is going to make a difference.
Moreover, on a number of occasions (more than 5) while playing tunes on the iPhone 5, it suddenly and randomly stops. This happened before the device was restored this evening and I have not had the opportunity to really test it out besides seeing if there is still an issue with the S4i headphones and the iPhone 5. I swear I did not touch or brush against the screen or depress any buttons when this occurred.
Has anyone got an idea what might be the problem? If so, I would be grateful if you could clue me in here.

Maybe it's a safty issue. You should not be able to watch movies while driveing anyway. Does it work when the car is in netral or park and the emergency brake is on. In my lexus thats the only way the front DVD will work.

How can I use the microphone on the iPhone 5 headphones with my ASUS Laptop?

ASUS Vivobook X202E
Windows 8
Headphone jack is both headphone and microphone jack
How can I manage to use the microphone on my Apple iPhone 5 headphones with my ASUS laptop?
When I plug in the headphones, only the headphones work, the microphone does nothing.
Anyone find a solution.
Thank you in advance for any and all help.

I doubt that the Apple headset is compatible with your laptop. Apple devices have an extra "ring" in the plug and jack for connecting the control buttons. Your laptop does not recognize the extra contact.

$80 Apple in-ear headphones not working with iPhone 4

I spent $80 on a pair of in ear headphones and they do not work with iPhone 4. I can listen to music and talk but the volume controls are completely nonfunctional. So I used them on my friends 3GS and they work fine. How can Apple come out with a new phone that wont work with their own products? I used to love Apple until this F@#$ing iPhone 4 came out.

According to Apple, they should work with the 4... http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA850G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1MA&mco=MTM3NTM0Mjg
Are they plugged in to your iPhone all the way?

It sounds like the LifeProof case may have leaked. Did you pay for the Waterproof protection? If so, you can file a claim with lifeproof, pay the deductable, and get a replacement.
If you didn't purchase the Waterproof guarantee, if you have Applecare Plus, $79.00 will get you a replacement. If you don't have AppleCare Plus, then this is a $269.00 replacement lesson.

How to turn off voice control with iPhone 5s with iOS 8

I Dropped my phone in the tub, I have an otterbox on it but it didn't do the phone any good :/. I dried it off and the home button started acting up. And now it doesnt work when i hit it. But the Touch ID still works. However randomly voice control will pop up and call random people when i don't even touch it. I tried going into restrictions > Siri and turning it off I turned off voice

Otterbox cases are not waterproof and are not advertised to be so. For that, you need a Lifeproof case or similar.
If you turn off Siri, Voice Control is enabled. The only way to turn off Voice Control is to turn Siri back on. Your phone has been damaged by immersion in liquid and may never work properly again. Sorry.

I have a nearly identical problem with my Ipad 3. Mine is the left channel. I've yet to find help, but have found a number of other posts on this and other forums discussing the issue. People have tried restore, reset etc. Also, cleaning the ports with compressed air or cotton swabs. It appears to be a software issue, but no one is sure.
Along with the original poster, I'd appreciate any help.
As far as the 'level 6' poster, if you're going to be rude, please don't bother. Hope it was just a bad day.

Ipod doesn't work on speakers but headphones are fine and speaker works with iPhone. Possible connector issue? Any thoughts on how I can get the fixed?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

There are 5 of us in this house with IPhones and we all want to control the apple tv with our phones. We all have separate iTunes accounts. How do we do this?

I have 3 iPhones in my house and 1 apple tv.
I do NOT set a password on my apple tv, so any iPhone can send video to the tv.
Any iPhone can use the apple remote option also.
Just play a video and click that square with an arrow and play on apple tv. The video comes up from any iPhone in my house.
Same goes for pics, etc
