Sounds no longer working on iPhone 4

Hello,
So a few days ago I dropped my iPhone 4. I'm not 100% sure but I think that is when my sound stopped working. The speakers are working fine, I can hear music and things like that. None of the phone sounds such as clicking when lock/unlocked, keyboard clicks etc are working. When I press the + and - volume buttons the icon does not appear, same as when i mute/unmute it. No sounds, nothing appears. Also, when I receive incoming calls the ringer no longer works.
I have tried cleaning with toothbrush, restarting, restoring, blowing in the phone, etc.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I do not have insurance on my phone (I know, I know) but I was in the process of buying a house and moving when they did the switch from mobileprotect to att&t so I apparently missed it and it was too late :/

I have no doubt that this is a hardware issue, probably caused by the drop as you said. By restarting and restoring without success, you have basically ruled out a software issue. All you can do now is pay $149 for an out-of-warranty replacement, or try to find one elsewhere for cheaper.

  • Mail Sounds No Longer Work on iPhone 4.

    The sounds for mail, incoming or outgoing, no longer work on my iPhone 4 (4.3.3).  All it does is vibrate even though that is set to Off.   All the other feature settings are set to ON. I have checked all the sounds and they work, they just don't work with the Mail any more.  This is a MobileMe IMAP account.  I tried re-setting everything without deleting data and that made no difference.  The sounds worked perfectly up until a week or so ago.  Any ideas on how to have them function again?  In addition, when I connect the iPhone to my iMac (Snow Leopard 10.6.7) the phone also vibrates.  This is a new feature as well.  Any chance a setting in iTunes might have caused this, and, if so, how to remedy it.
    Thanks!

    Problem solved.  No further action.

  • IHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.

    My iHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.  Prompts message 'This accessory is not supported by iPhone'.  Has anyone come accross this and is there a fix?

    Ring up iHome and ask them for a fix... And if they cant supply you with a fix... Then you should be entitled to a replacement or a upgrade, as firmware upgrades on your ios device should not affect audio products......

  • HT204266 The sound no longer works on my ipad?

    The sound no longer works on my iPad although when I put headphones in it does. When I press the volume button it comes up as "sound effects" but with no dots that would normally go up or down. When I double click the start button there is the normal volume bit but no button to move up or down. Has anyone ever had this before?

    The disappearing sound is typically one of three things that could be going on. Read this and see which one applies to your situation.
    1. If you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    2. If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

    3. If you still have no sound at all - except when using headphones ....try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

  • Wifi no longer working on Iphone 6

    wifi no longer working on Iphone 6

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • Sound no longer working after graphics card installation

    Okay, so my problem is:
    I recently added a graphics card to my windows 8.1 PC. The card itself works fine (a GTX 750Ti), but since installing it my sound no longer works from either port. Things I have already tried:
    Rebooting (obviously)
    Taking the card out and then replacing it
    Going through all the control panel audio settings (more on this later)
    Disabling the HDMI audio on the card
    Trying different (provably working) speakers and headphones
    Updating/installing drivers (not that you need them for headphones)
    The "playback devices" screen declared that nothing whatsoever is plugged in (it is). I'm concerned I might have damaged something during installation, but nothing seems obviously damaged, and I would have expected static to either do no damage
    or wipe out the entire motherboard. The back port is working, so it isn't the cable. My monitor output is HDMI (with no speakers on the monitor), if that makes any difference.
    Penny for anyone's thoughts?

    The back port is working, so it isn't the cable.
    I’m confused as to what this means. If you have audio via the ports on the back of the computer but not in front ports you may have damaged the front audio cable or connection on the motherboard
    or at the front ports. Find the HD Audio (or AC’97) port on your motherboard and verify that the cable is connected and intact, then follow this cable forward to your front audio ports. If you stressed this cable by tugging or pushing, it could have damaged
    the connection to the front ports. Sometimes these ports are connected by a header like the motherboard and this connection could have come loose.

  • The sound no longer works in my husband's iPad and it keeps shutting itself down. This started today. We checked all the settings and everything looks right. Is there something we might be missing?

    The sound no longer works in my husband's iPad and it keeps shutting itself down. This started today. We checked all the settings and everything looks right. Is there something we might be missing?

    Try a reset first: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    If the reset doesn't fix it, try a restore:

  • My sound no longer works, my sound no longer works

    Since i downloaded new OS my sound no longer works, this if for itunes, spotify and trying to listen to youtube videos

    I just found out that a few of my slideshows have the music intact.  For the rest, it looks like I will have to go through the cumbersome process of re-loading the music.
    I can't tell is this was caused by the Mavericks upgrade or Iphoto Update.

  • Bose headset no longer works on iPhone 4

    My Bose headset, which worked flawlessly on 3GS, no longer works for voice control and voice memos on my new iphone 4. They still work fine as headphones but the microphone no longer is operational. The Apple supplied headset works and if I unplug the Bose set the voice dialing and memos work okay.
    But when I use the Bose headset and try to record a voice memo it includes a rhythmic static every half second or so. Voice control is completely non-operational with this headset. I'm thinking something with the noise canceling is screwed up.
    Anyone have any possible work arounds?

    Ya, this is a bit of a Joke.
    I have an $80 pair of skullcandy headphones with Mic that I just recently purchased for my iPhone 3G. When I jumped to the iPhone4 it doesnt work. The apple headset works every time. When I plug in the skull candy, I can hear the person I'm calling but they cant hear me and to add to that, there is this staticy pulsing sound on the line from the headset. If I press and hold the Talk/Music button on my SC headset, the person I'm calling can hear me but they say I sound like I'm in the background. I thought as you did that the mic on the phone was then in use, but when i disconnected the headset, the person I called said it changed and I sounded "Really" far away at that point.
    Apple: So how do I fix this? I refuse to carry around two headsets and the apple headset is less than desireable for quality music listening.

  • Facebook no longer works with iPhone 4s

    For the last two days my Facebook app on my iPhone 4s no longer works.  I click on it and it tries to open but it just goes back to the screen.  Any idea on how to fix this?

    Do you have the current FaceBook app version installed?
    Any change after a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
    If not, any change after deleting and reinstalling the app?

    ASUS Xonar DGX Audio Device
    I sucessfully upgrading to Windows 8.1 and everything was functioning after the upgrade.  However, after the first time I restarted my system after the upgrade the intergrated soundcard no longer worked.
    I attempted to remove and reinstall the RealTek audio driver, downloading the newest 8.1 compatible driver from the Lenovo support site.
    The drive refused to installed, either via the executable or by manually installing the driver through a device manager upgrade.  
    So I attempted to install a stand alone soundcard, to no success.   
    In device manager this is displayed for both the integrated motherboard audio and the new Asus sound card:
    Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code
    52)
    If I disable the driver driver signature enforcement, neither audio option works.  Instead I get this error in device manager:
    "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing.
    (Code 39)"
    Attempting to update the driver in device manager, Windows tell me I am on the most up-to-date, recommended driver, yet at the same time refuses to
    allow it to function.
    Extremely frustrating.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have also attempted to clear out the registry Upper/Lower Filters to no success.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    At that registry key, in the right window, is there, under "Name", either an UpperFilters orLowerFilters value?
    If so, for each of the UpperFilters and/or LowerFilters value, what is listed under "Data"?
    There could be an improper entry at one of these values which may be causing the problem.

  • Mail sounds no longer working

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, the Mail app (6.0) no longer makes sounds for checking, sending, or receiving email messages.  Sounds are enabled in both Mail preferences as well as the mail section of Notifications.  Sounds elsewhere still work, just not in Mail.  Any thoughts?
    I've already searched for, and found, the various threads about activities Mail being curtailed (no spinning wheels for example).  I can think of no good reason to remove visual/audio feedback from an application (or make it configurable).

    Certainly.  This is something that has been around in Mac's for a very long time, but this Apple KB will tell you what to do.  Very simple:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    I've found since my post that I still occasionally lose sound, but quitting and restarting the Mail app has been sufficient; no need to reset the PRAM anymore.
