No phone audio but speaker phone works

Since the 2.2 upgrade my phone audio will be dead unless I turn on the speaker phone. Doing a powerdown reset has fixed this in the past, but today no help. I searched the fourms and found others with 2.2 audio issues but in their case the speaker phone is not working, opposite of my issue.
Sometimes it will work normally. Anyone else have this issue or a solution. This problem did not surface until the 2.2 update.
Thanks

I had the same issue and a restore from backup and a reset to factory default settings did not work. I did notice that when I tried to turn up the volume the phone thought that my headphones were plugged in. I plugged my earbuds in and I could make calls and hear just fine but when I took the earbuds out I could only use the speaker phone.
So I took it into the Apple store and they said that there is a sensor in the earphone jack that can be clogged with dust and dirt. They then preceded to pull out a can of air and sprayed into the headphone jack and it now works just fine. So if you have a can of air give it a try.

    They will help you just make sure that you make a appointment before you go into the store. Also if the iPhone needs to be replaced and you are not within your year of hardware coverage, that is when they will ask you to pay a fee.

    How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

    The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Let us know if this method does not work.

    I would have had the phone looked at long before a month of problems.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. You phone is under warranty and someone at an Apple store can help you.

    Hello Todd:
    I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
    Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
    Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
    Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
    Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
    I hope that this works for you, Todd!   ~ Brian

  • IPad 3rd Gen will not play sounds, but speaker does work

    iPad 3rd Generation (A1416), ios 8.1.3
    My iPad just recently stopped outputting sounds through the speaker, but the speaker does work.   Notifications, alerts, music, videos, apps; nothing outputs sounds through the speakers.   Sound DOES work through headphones and airplay devices.   When researching other forum posts, my issue differs in a few ways.
    1.  The speaker DOES work. When I go into Settings > General > Sounds and move the slider bar at the top for Ringers and Alerts level it outputs sounds through the speaker.
    2.  When swiping up from the bottom of the screen to display the control center, there are NO controls shown for the volume of the speaker, which there should be.
    I have gone through all the possible types of resets including a master reset and backup from iTunes and I am still having the same issue.  At this point there are no more reset options or configuration changes that I am aware of to resolve.
    Help Please!

    Hi, urbsom.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand you are experiencing an issue with muted or no sound on various applications.  I also understand that the issue persists after processing some troubleshooting steps.  There are just a couple more that I could recommend in the article below.

  • Iphone only has audio thru speaker phone

    Hi,
    Were you able to resolve this problem? I'm having the same issue and I'm clueless. Tried resetting the phone as well but no luck.

  • I am not able to receive any phone calls but it does work the other way  so I can make calls - has anybody had similar problems ?

    Any time someone tries to call me my iPhone is ringing and when I want to pick the call I only get Tut Tut .... and on the other end people tell
    their end is dead and does not even give a ring tone....

    Hello,
    While your BB may not, while in your possession, have been part of a BES environment, it nevertheless likely has an IT policy in place as this is one of the key symptoms of that fact. If it ever was part of BES, then there are specific steps that must be taken to remove the IT Policy...just removing it from BES does not remove the policy. The process to remove it is totally destructive, so be sure you back up first. Also, when you restore, DO NOT do a full restore...rather, do a selective restore of only those things you need...if you do a full restore, you will simply put that IT Policy back onto your BB and be right back where you started.
    OK, so here is the procedure:

    I always recommend Method 3 for PC and Method 4 for MAC.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • TS2755 i changed my phone number but my phone is now saying unknown

    my number in settings says unknown and imessage wont show my number

    Have you powered the device off since making this change? Did you change through the cellular provider, or did you insert a new SIM? Try powering the phone off/on, and if that does not work, then do a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone reboots, check.

  • Embedded video is black but with audio, but the video works fine on youtube.

    I'm having trouble with firefox not been able to display embedded video on sites.
    I see the preview image but when i start play all video area becomes black and I can hear the audio playing. I also can pause the "video".
    If I start firefox in safe mode, it works.
    I have deactivated all my extensions/add-ons, without any success.
    I have reset all cache, no success
    I have restored to factory result, no success
    I have uninstalled firefox, and deleting all local data and reinstalled firefox, still same problems.
    I have tested to go to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and activated the html5 player, and then I see the play button, progressbar and volume etc, but still no video.
    The video is working fine in IE 9 and Chrome (unknown version, but since it autoupdates it's probably the latest)

  • IChat with audio but video NOT working.

    I have been using iChat regulary for almost a year now with no problems whatsoever. Suddenly I cannot get a video conference going with my brother. Whether he or I initiates it it does the same thing. The conference is initiated each of us seeing a box with ourselves in it. Then when it is supposed to shoot yourself up into the corner and make you small and the other person pops up, I freeze and shoot to the corner as a frozen image. I see him just fine, but he continues to see only himself and he can HEAR us just fine. I have successfully chatted with 2 other people right before and after. I also tried to do a multi-person chat and it worked fine between myself and the third person, but as soon as my brother popped on (he took a bit longer to respond) I froze but I could still see and hear him and the other person just fine, and they could see and hear each other. But neither could see me. It also works fine between just him and another person. What in the world is going on?!?

    Hi Angleafx,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions
    Could be several things.
    1) DO basic Maintenance at your end.
    See the links to Cocktail http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=122021
    MacJanitor is a specific Utility for running the Cron Scripts.
    After this it may be your ISP is doing something to your Connection speed that effects the Bandwidth.
    Is you brother on a connection speed that is vastly different from your other contacts ?

  • No audio during phone calls unless using speaker phone or headset

    My husband switched to the Galaxy Nexus a few days ago.  All went well until he tried to make a phone call.  The audio occasionallyworks both ways during a phone call, but more often it doesn't work at all (either way) or cuts out in the middle of the call.  We have tried booting in safe mode to rule out interference from other apps, but the problem persisted.  When the audio isn't working, all other sound on the phone works fine.  It's only when placing a phone call without speaker phone or headset.  There is no sound at all - no ringing, no dial tone, nothing in either direction.  I installed a sound manager app last night and all was well until this morning.  He did plug in earbuds this morning, and the audio problem returned after he unplugged them.  I'm not sure whether the earbuds are contributing to the problem, but I thought I'd mention it.  He uses them a lot.  Any ideas?

    Same problem here. My phone worked great for a week then this problem occurred. After searching XDA Developers, one of the members there came up with an app.
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix
    Not a perfect solution, but does work. I have Emailed with the developer and has helped with any issues that pop up. I suggest the paid version, small price to pay but worth it to make the phone work again.
    It would be nice if Verizon/Google actually cared about this issue.
