Ringtone SMS over speaker when using head phones
Apple products are basically nice product.
A problem that i have is the lack of support. Oh yeah, off course, the response is overwhelming: "Hi , this is Richard, and i'm personally helping you and understand your problem very well", and there it ends.
When i buy a PHONE for a few hundreds of dollars and can do anything i like but it lacks the following functionality, which annoys hundred of users, is basically a bug and you dont get any logical answer, then i cannot say i like the brand.
I always have my head phones connected. Yes, i know, some people may say, that it's ridiculous, but thats the way it is.
When someone calls me (yeah , its a phone right?), the ringtone is hearable over the speakers. That is very nice, so when i dont wear the 'phones i can answer the call! Now for my problem. I want the same to work for incoming text messages. No way i can get that done. Those ringtones are only hearable over the 'phones. "Well, unplug them, i hear some people say". Then you dont understand my problem.
If anybody has some logical response, i would like to hear it.
Hello flankyflank,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Reading about your issues sounds like a fluke, there is an article that does help isolate issues with the receiver.

Several of us have a iPhone 6plus and are having trouble with hearing and speaking at the same time when using the phone. ? The speakers seem to be too far apart? Are others having this issue? Solutions?
Not having the problem, don't personally know anyone who is.

Can you please tell us which notebook model do you have?
Is some sound manager preinstalled on your notebook? You can find it in control panel. Is there something like Realtek sound manager? -
When using the phone, I must use the speakerphone in order to hear. Does this require a visit to the Apple store or will a reset or restore possibly fix?
Try this before calling Apple or going to the store.
Open iTunes, and restore the device as NEW. Then test making some calls, if it works, GREAT if not then call AppleCare or an Apple store for an appointment.
Based on experience a restore fixes this issue 99.9% of the time. The .1% is hardware issue based the rest is software based issue -
HT201401 Microphone works only when using the phone in hands-free
Microphone works only when using the phone in hands-free (speaker on) mode. Otherwise, only a constant buzz, accompanied by regular clicks (repeating 2-3 times/sec) can be heard by called persons or when recording a memo. Makes Siri unusable, and cannot make private calls unless in a private area. Does anybody have a fix for this?
Okay I just solved the problem myself..
For anyone that may have the same issue:
The microphone used when recording video, is the little dot next to the jack on top of the iPhone 4S (maybe also iPhone 4, don't know). There was some dirt in this tiny little hole, and I simply just removed it with a very thin needle, and now it works great! -
Hello.
A few nights ago, my picky client finally upgraded his iPhone 4S' iOS 6 to iOS 7. He doesn't like the blurred background wallpaper image when using the phone feature (e.g., calling and talking). Is there a way to disable this new visual effect like in iOS 6? I am pretty sure this is by design by Apple.
Thank you in advance.sberman wrote:

I will tell him about that, but I don't think that would be it if that is related to animation.
We're talking about the wallpaper background that get blurry during the phone screens like http://www.tekrevue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/20130923_ios7emergencycallfla w.jpg (left side) and http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/09/20/ChangingYourTheme.png ... You can see there are background images that got blurred out. -

Iphone 5c. How do I silence speakers when using Ear Phones
How do O turn off speaker when using Ear Phones
I think it recognises *some* non-Apple Bluetooth devices, but the number of devices, and the functionality supported, is very limited, and extremely poor and inflexible when compared to other manufacturers' devices.

When using my phone it sometimes will go back to the home screen
When I'm using my phone it will go back to the home screen !! Annoying help
Your first post was that when trying to take a photo or going online it would go back to the display screen.
I would first go to settings to general to reset all settings. If this does not resolve the issue you will then want to back up all data and then restore device back to default settings. Obviously a software issue. -
IPhone 4 screen wont go to sleep when using the phone. Plz help
hello
when using my cell phone the screen wont go blank. this came out of nowhere and its been happening for about a month.
i dont have a screen protector or a phone protector either. i reset the phone. restored the phone. turned it on/off about 10 times already and nothing.
plz help. thanksThe proximity sensor is above the receiver. Hard to see on the black model, but if you look at the white one, you'll see the hole in the glas they left open for it. It can't be fixed by users, get it serviced. Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

Hi each time i use my 4S phone a dial from the contact list, the phone will not select a communication mode, either normal speaker or handsfree (car), I have to force the phone into speaker mode and the back to normal mode before I can speak to or listen to anyone. The annoying aspect is the recipient of my call can answer but cannot hear me nor I them.
What am I doing wrong, or is there an issue with the phone. The same situation occurs when the phone is used with bluetooth in my car, the previous iphone worked perfectly can you please advise.Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

How do I use my Mac's mic and speaker when answering a phone call?
Whenever I receive a phone call on my iPhone and answer it on my Mac, the speaker and mic on the iPhone are used for the call rather than the Mac. On an older Mac I was using, when I answered a call from my iPhone, it used the Mac's speaker and mic for the call. Is there a setting somewhere to fix this on the new Mac? When I make calls from the Mac, it uses the speaker and mic, but it doesn't when I answer them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

System alerts super loud through phone speaker when using Palm headphones - bug?
When I have the included Palm headphones plugged in, and a system sound is triggered (say from putting it on the Touchstone or getting a text) it BLASTS from the phone speaker and headset at full volume, no matter what I have the volume set to in preferences. Feels like a bug in the OS, but is there a setting I am missing?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)I have the same issue. I also have the phone ring only on the external speakers when I am listening to music.
