New iPhone 3G, one external speaker is seems dead.

I bought an iPhone 3G about 2 days ago and noticed that one of the external speakers seems to be dead. The phone sounds loud enough; but when I put my finger over the working speaker, the speaker that I suspect is dead makes absolutely no sound.
Are there any tests I can do to try and remedy this?

Hello! Welcome to Apple Discussions. Actually, you can feel a little better about this, as the "speaker" you are referring to is actually a microphone.
You can refer to the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf - page 20) for additional information regarding the external features of the iPhone 3G.
Thanks! Hope you enjoy your iPhone 3G as much as I have.

  • I just recently got 2 new iPhone 4. one for me and my husband. How do i sync up both on one computer with out reuning my sisters already synced iPhone 3s info getting all her apps and contacts onto my phones?

    I just bought 2 new iPhone 4 one for and my husband. I want to sync them on the same computer without it runing my sisters already syned 3s. When tried syning my old and i mean very old iPhone's contacts it said i could only merge them with my sister contacts and now i have her contacts on my phone and it sent my all her un needed apps as well. I want to be able to sync but not have her things placed in my phone or have anything erased from hers either. Can anyone help me?

    By far the simplest way to do this is create separate accounts on the computer for each person.  That way, you each log into your own separate account, sync your own device(s) to your own contacts/calendars/apps/music and so forth.

  • I can't restore my data from my iphone5s or ipad to my new iphone6, because it woulkd seem that none of the available backups from icloud are compatible with iOS 8.0.2, which is what the new iphone is running. (or so it seems).

    Just received my iphone6, as my iphone5s gave up the ghost. Completely. I now want to restore everything that I had on my old phone to my new new one using icloud. However, when I arrive at the screen that asks you to select a backup version, it shows me a list, but then at the bottom of the screen there is a message that says that 'no icloud backups are compatible with the version of (8.0.2) on this iphone.' I also have an ipad, and both the 5 and the ipad were updated to 8.1. I did try to back up via itunes, but only got some of my photos's back and none of my messages, some of which had essential information on them. Anybody have any idea's? Any help gratefully recieved!

    Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

  • Two new iPhones. One runs slow

    My wife and I both have new iPhones 4s.
    Both I phones are set up the same. But her phone runs really slow on Internet. Siri doesn't work very often. Lots of dropped calls.
    Is this a bad phone or is this something that apple is aware of?

    I'm having the same problem with my phone.  Very slow and Siri hardly ever works for me.  I've tried re-booting it several times.  Very dissapointed.  I'm going to the Verizon store tomorrow to have it checked out.  Has anyone had this problem corrected?

  • Two new iPhones. One for the wife one for me.  How do we share apps

    I have two computers. One is my wife's and one is mine. My new phone is synced with my itunes and my computer and the other phone is synced her to itunes on her computer. Question is that we only by music on one of the two compters and then through our home network we share. How does it work with apps? Will the apps I buy for one iPhone transfer to the other iphone, or do I have to buy it twice?

    Each user can select the music and/or apps that he/she wants. Once selected, iTunes will remember which songs an apps each user has selected next time the phone gets sync'd.
    Apps that are on either phone, but not on the computer, will be added to the apps on that computer. This allows the second phone to get the app.

  • After getting a new iPhone 4S, one of my apps won't work

    I have just had my iPhone 4S replaced by apple and have restored everything from my old phone. One of my apps now tries to load but then shuts. It still works on m iPad. Should I delete it on my mobile and reinstall?  I am worried I'll lose any progress and it will start from scratch again. I am using iCloud with the iPad and iPhone but don't really understand how that all works. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

    my only workaround for more reliable Push email was to turn off 3G and WiFi and only use Edge. Keep in mind you will miss many calls, since Edge can only do data or phone not both. There is no priority either so it's a crap shoot if you will get any calls.
    3G has gotten better over the last few weeks, no where near acceptable, but at least it's improving. I hope the same happens in your area.
    Good Luck

  • New iphone 4 working fine,then just went dead this morning. Its been charging all night. what's the problem?

    Just got iphone 4 on tues.  It has been working fine. Made 1 phone call this morning. 30 minutes later tried to use the phone again and it would not turn on. What could be the problem. Phone was charging all night.

    Sounds more like it might be frozen up.  Have you tried resetting it by holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for ~10 sec?

  • Could any one tell me nano sim can be cut from Normal sim like micro sim. I heard new iPhone uses nano sim

    Hi All,
             My friend told me he will get unlocked new iPhone on first week of launch .He is in Canada and i am in India. I heard new iPhone features nano sim. It is possible to cut nano sim from normal sim like we do for micro sim. iPhone releases in India only in November so if we cant get nano sim  from normal sim , then i have to postponed my new iPhone purchase

    No one here knows Apple's plans regarding any new iPhone & what type of sim that phone may or may not use. As to whether a Mico sim can be cut down to Nano size, the answer is yes. I suspect cutters will appear on the market shortly after such is released.
    The real question you should be asking is why, if you live India, are you looking to purchase an iPhone anywhere else other than India. iPhone warranty & support is country specific, only valid in country of original purchase. You purchase an iPhone in Canada, you prepared to physically bring the phone back to Canada for ALL warranty & support issues? You can't mail it back to Apple. Makes no sense to me.

  • External speaker not working

    On a new iphone 5, my external sound (speaker) doesnt work for any application (itunes, ring tones, messaging etc).  I backed up my old iphone 3 and sync'd onto new device, but I'm not sure if the external sound worked before (ie in factory new condition).  The internal jack seems to work fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    GP

    When the ringer switch is on (not vibrate) and you are in the phone with the screen on, press the volume controls on the side of the phone. If it says "Ringer (headphones)" then your phone is stuck in headphone mode. That means it will only play sound hooked up in a dock audio system or through the headphone jack.
    The sensor that tells the iPhone that the headphone is plugged in is faulty or dirty. I have the same problem and no solution has worked. You may also try cleaning out the headphone port with 409 and a qtip with half the tip cut off.
    I've tried both solutions to no use and will probably have to go to an apple store.
    I also cannot talk on the phone without a headset or a bluetooth device.

  • New iPhone user needs guidance setting up 4 iPhones for family - best approach?

    Hi - I'm a new iPhone user tasked with setting up 4 iPhones for family (three 4S, one 3GS). I set up the first 4S using my mother's existing Apple ID (she has an iPad) and I think (hope) hers is fine. When I set up my father's phone, my sister said to enter my mother's Apple ID during setup since they wanted to use a single Apple ID for iTunes purchases. The setup screen I'm referring to the 7th screen into the setup process for a new iPhone 4S (after the Welcome, Language, Country/Region, Location Services, Wi-Fi Networks, and Set Up iPhone screens), where it asks you to "Sign In with an Apple ID" or "Create a Free Apple ID". This screen was where I entered my mother's Apple ID into my father's phone.
    By entering my mother's Apple ID on my father's phone at this point during setup, I seem to have created a "clone" of her phone - their phone numbers are distinct and they can call each other but iMessages sent to either of them initially appeared on BOTH phones. I think I have now fixed that by creating a separate Apple ID for my father after the fact and entering it under Settings>Messages. Thinking I could also enter his new Apple ID under Settings>iCloud, I found I could not change it from my mother's Apple ID (it's greyed out). I saw a recommendation in another post to click on the red "Delete Account" button at the bottom, but will that delete my mother's entire account or only its association with my father's phone?
    Backing up a step or two, I'm worried that at this point I should have entered/created a new Apple ID on screen #7 during initial setup of my father's phone (instead of entering my mother's Apple ID), and that just changing settings in iMessage, iCloud, etc. won't really fix any problem(s) I've created. I hesitate to set up the other two phones before knowing how badly I've already messed things up with this one.
    During the initial set up of my father's iPhone, should I have created/entered his own unique Apple ID on screen #7 instead of entering my mother's Apple ID? (and then on his phone AFTER setup was complete, changing to my mother's Apple ID under Settings>Store so that all purchases are shared)?
    If yes, do I need to restore his phone to factory settings and set it up as a new phone so his phone behaves like his and not a clone of hers?
    Without knowing what might be the best way to set up these 4 new iPhones, I was thinking the four unique users of these new phones would most likely want to share apps (by purchasing them with one Apple ID), backup/synch to one computer, but maintain separate iCloud accounts so everyone's info is private? I've spent time reading other posts and see so many different recommendations for families with multiple devices that my head is spinning. Many include questions from folks migrating from older phones or MobileMe. I think my situation is simpler in that there are 4 new iphones and one existing Apple ID. Have I missed some comprehensive post that clarifies the best way to set things up for families new to iPhones, or do needs vary so much that no single best way exists? Given my situation (and depending on which way I should proceed regarding having set up my father's phone with my mother's Apple ID), should I create/enter a separate Apple ID for each new phone user during initial setup so each phone is distinct from the others, and AFTER setup is complete, changing the iTunes and Store info to the shared Apple Id for purchases? Or can I customize each individual phone after the fact in Settings>Whatever so that even if I've entered the same Apple ID on Screen #7 during initial new phone setup, the 4 phones will ultimately be set up correctly?
    So sorry to have to ask such basic questions. Many thanks, in advance, for any guidance provided to help me not make any (more?) mistakes during setup that will be a real headache to remedy later, once everyone has started using their phones.

    Hi edgefield,sorry you're having so much trouble.
    FIRST CREATE A BACKUP ON YOUR COMPUTER -ALWAYS BEFORE PLAYING WITH THE INFORMATION ON THE PHONES (it prevents losses)
    Now I'll answer your questions)
    During the initial set up of my father's iPhone, should I have created/entered his own unique Apple ID on screen #7 instead of entering my mother's Apple ID? (and then on his phone AFTER setup was complete, changing to my mother's Apple ID under Settings>Store so that all purchases are shared)?
    Yes.  Create his own apple id and sign him in.  then tap settings ->store -> tap on the account name -> sign out.
    Then sign in your fathers apple id.  (create your fathers apple id on the computer, its much easier, trust me).
    If yes, do I need to restore his phone to factory settings and set it up as a new phone so his phone behaves like his and not a clone of hers?##
    No.  Tap settings -> icloud, and turn everything off (keep on the phone option).  Then DELETE ACCOUNT (it's got red around it and at the bottom of the screen if you scroll down).  You cannot sign out of iCloud, you can only delete the account.  Then clean up the contacts and information on the phone. 
    Then you tap settings -> iCloud and sign in.  Put your fathers apple id in the section.  His information will be uploaded to www.icloud.com.  Then go to www.icloud.com and sign in with his apple id.  Make sure his information is uploaded (you'll have to select timezone and such). 
    From that point you are fine except for iMessage.
    For iMessage to function properly, only one apple id can be signed into the iTunes store (settings -> store).  If they are both signed into the same apple id on the iTunes store, than you need to turn off iMessage on one of the phones.  The iMessage may be delievered to either phone when both are signed in under the same apple id in the iTunes store.
    tap settings -> messages -> imessage off 
    This also disables facetime.  If you want them to have iMessage and Facetime, they have to have seperate apple id's signed into the iTunes store.
    Have I missed some comprehensive post that clarifies the best way to set things up for families new to iPhones, or do needs vary so much that no single best way exists?
    Not that I've seen, will consider creating one if I have time.
    Given my situation (and depending on which way I should proceed regarding having set up my father's phone with my mother's Apple ID), should I create/enter a separate Apple ID for each new phone user during initial setup so each phone is distinct from the others, and AFTER setup is complete, changing the iTunes and Store info to the shared Apple Id for purchases?
    Your best bet is to create each apple id on the computer (keyboards are easier to use) and then sign them each in during the creation process.  Then change the iTunes store info to the stored apple id.
    This will allow each person to serpate iClouds without interfering with each others Cloud as you set up new devices.
    Or can I customize each individual phone after the fact in Settings>Whatever so that even if I've entered the same Apple ID on Screen #7 during initial new phone setup, the 4 phones will ultimately be set up correctly?
    Doing it this way can cause problems (or used to, not sure if it still does), initially, when you set it up, it wants to create a backup or upload the blank info to iCloud.  You are better off setting up their own apple id first and signing in with that, and then changing it in the iTunes store.
    I'm off to bed, I'll check this thread tomorrow and see if you have any more questions/problems.  Remember, always create a back-up before you do anything.

  • Idea for new iphone accessory

    I think I have a very nice idea for a new iphone accessory, one that would probably require the upcoming 3.0 software, since it would require a external piece of hardware.
    I myself have no technical skills. So development would have to be done by a third party.
    Actually the same is true for the financial side. Really all I have is an idea, and I am sure that my idea is new. There isn't anything like it on the market yet.
    What to do??

    Get a patent for it. Once you have the patent, shop it to other iPhone accessory manufacturers.

  • Will the external speaker easily blow out?

    Maybe this is a silly question, but...
    I was playing around and listening to the iPhone on its external speaker today, and noticed how poor the audio quality is -- clipping, static, etc.. No surprise, it's a single small speaker.
    That said, I do like to use it now and then -- surfing YouTube at home, or playing a song/video for a friend. It can get the job done.
    This morning, I was playing with the loudness and some of my music sounded like speaker torture, even with EQ applied.
    Would this speaker easily blow out from use this way? Or from audio tracks set to ringtones and turned up loud? (Loud ringtones are often a must when I'm out and about.)

    Thanks. Re the "more than the iPhone can handle" above -- that is what I was afraid of, playing it louder than the phone can handle!
    Re DaVBMan: That makes sense, although I think they should have just designed it not to play audio if the speakers aren't designed to cope with it. My e61 with a mono speaker handles quite loud music volume without clipping and distortion...
    If anyone else is curious, I want to point out that it also varies my phone. This is my second iPhone (I had issues that warranted an exchange) and the first one had much better external speakers, I played a bit of music from the iTunes Store to demo for a friend and it all sounded fine. Tinny, but fine. It's my current phone that gets clipping and distortion, even at low volumes.
    Still, my first phone was starting to lose signal when sleeping... and I'd rather have the clipping speaker than a phone that loses signal.

  • New IPHONE 5, no sound?

    I bought an iphone 5 less than two weeks ago from my local AT&T store (no apple store around). Everything was working fine until yesterday when the speakers stopped working. It vibrates for reminders,calls, etc. but no sound. If I try to play music, my phone looks like it is playing but there is no sound. The speakerphone is not working. The volume is turned up. I've gone through my itunes and iphone settings. I've restarted the phone several times. I have restored it using itunes. I have checked that headphone jack is clear and that the speakers are clean (less than two weeks old and was immediately encased in an defender series otterbox). I rely on the alarms and reminders daily. What can I do?

    5 months ago, I lived less than 2 miles away from an apple store. Now, I live 3 hours away from the nearest Apple store so visiting one wouldn't be feasible for a spur of the moment mid-week tip with my schedule (This is essentially why I searched this forum for answers instead of making an appointment at Apple). I didn't realize the AT&T 14 day rule. I had never planned to return the phone. It stopped working on day 12 (day 13 was a Sunday so AT&T was closed). I tried troubleshooting (posting & reading in this forum and elsewhere) for a day before I took in my local AT&T. They do would do absolutely nothing on day15. Apple will only repair the lemon phone I was sold under warranty. The trouble is I bought a new phone and want a functioning new phone, not a refurbished lemon. The only way Apple will replace my new lemon iphone 5 with a functioning new iphone 5 is if I agree to pay for a second new phone and shipping (So I had to buy two iphones in one month plus shipping). Upon receipt of the new functioning phone, I returned the lemon phone. When they receive the return and process the return, then they'll refund $750 for the second phone but not the additional $29 shipping. This is their policy. Within my family we have an ipod nano, 3 ipod touches, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and new 27" iMac. We have always gotten great service from Apple when purchasing directly from Apple. Notsomuch when we have bought from other stores. Apple did ultimately replace my phone but I did NOT appreciate having to buy two new iphones in one month for them to do the honest thing. After all, the fact remains that their quality control should've been better.
    I will never buy anything from AT&T again.

  • Can't download apps on new iphone 6

    Not sure if this is the correct place to post but ...
    Just got my new iPhone 6 and I can't seem to download anything from the app store.  I'll press the icon to download, it will change to the circle image for a second, then it just stops.  Is this an ios 8 issue/ iphone 6 problem?  is the app store down? Anybody else experiencing the same issue?
    thanks!

    But based on this, App Store is fine:  https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

  • HT201269 I am trying to restore data from iCloud to a new iPhone 5  faulty.

    I am trying to restore data to new iPhone after one I bought at Christmas went faulty from iCloud to a new iPhone 5. I just get an error message saying " your iPhone cannot be restore as there is a problem with your data" but none of the other backups shown work either. Any suggestions?

    What iOS is your current iPhone running?
    What iOS was your previous device running at the time the iCloud backups were made?
    If you don't know, then update your iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1, then try to restore the backup again.
