Speaker not working properly iPhone 4S

Hello. I got my iPhone 4S wet (oops) and I have no sound when playing videos or music but it still rings when I get calls/texts, other than that it's working fine. Any ideas??!!

Clean very well the iPhone charging port with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. If still problem consider replacing the iPhone charging port assembly with flex cable and lower mic, about $5 part. Water damage can be long term progressive worsening problem. Consider gdgmacguy advice and go to Apple.

  • IOS 6 update = Speaker not working properly

    My speaker was fine and I have no reason to believe there are any hardware issues. As soon as I updated my iOS 5.1.1 to the new iOS 6 it stopped working and now I can't listen to music or watch videos on my iPhone unless I insert a headphone!
    What's happened and how can this be resolved?

    Experiencing similar problems with both me and my wife's iPhone 4S's. My phone's speaker was muffled until I played a song, then it seemed to work ok. My wife's will not work at all except for when you adjust sound settings (e.g. changing the alert sound). Then it works only during the "test" and reverts back to its broken state.
    P.S. And yes, I've rebooted both numerous times. This has no obvious affect.

  • "Raise to Speak" not working on iPhone 4s

    I got my Iphone 4s today. Everything works fine except for the "Raise to Speak" feature. I have it turned on in the Siri settings but there is nothing that I can do to get Siri to start when I raise the phone to my ear. Really frustrating. I have been on the phone with Apple's support and so far nothing that they proposed worked. We tried rebooting the phone, turning the phoe off and on again, and turning the raise to speak setting on and off.  Anybody having the same problem?

    I think I got it to work fine now. Everything depends on the kind of moviment you do to raise your phone to your ear. If you have your arm straight down and move the phone to your ear it does not work. It works with shorter moviments. I hold the phone in front of me as if I am reading the screen with my arm bended in 90 degrees. I bring the phone to the ear and it works like a sharm every time.
    How did I founf that out? I went to the Apple store and I was able to see that everybody was having dificulty with using the feature. We tried several phones and it seemed to work randomly. After spending a lot of time behaving like an idiot moving the phone up and down thousands of times  I sat down and it started to work much better. That was when I realized that it was working better because I was not moving the phone from all the way down but from much closer to my chest.
    Now some important information. First, the raise to speak feature works from any screen that is on, even from active application screens. For example, when reading a message, I raised the phone to my ear and it worked fine.  At the apple store, some of the apple advisors thought that it would only work if you were already in the Siri screen, which is not true.
    Second, I have to say that I actually got my phone replaced just in case it was a hardware issue. However, I tried the new phone still using the long moviments and the raise to speak feature would not work. I changed to the short moviment I described before and everything worked fine. I am convinced that it is not a hardware problem.
    I hope this helps. Enjoy your new Iphone 4s.

  • "raise to speak" not working on iPhone 6

    My son was very upset when he discovered that the "raise to speak" feature no long works on iPhone 6 or if you updated your iOS to 8. The issue seems to be that Siri comes through only on speaker and not the phone so there is no privacy when using Siri.
    Can you tell me whether you know or have information that Apple will restore the "raise to speak" functionality in an iOS update? It really doesn't make sense that they took it out.

    Apple has not made any statements about why they removed that feature. Speculation is prohibited. However, the fact that there is a new feature that allows you to raise the phone to make a recording in iMessages may be related.

  • External Speaker not Working Properly

    Ok, i have this annoying problem with the external transducer...basically sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
    This kinda disrupts all the allarm options as i can't rely on a device that "eventually" will work.
    This is the second iPod Touch i change and the problem is the same so i guess it is not an hardware fault but most likely software.
    Has anyone ever encountered a problem like this one?

    A few days ago I tried to help a guy with Bose External Speakers and we found the male jack isn't quite long enough to make the connection:
    PROBLEM SOLVED!!
    Just to share information for others who might come across this problem with Bose or any other external speakers, where the male jack doesn't quite go in far enough for the MacBook to recognize it, here is the solution that worked for me:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HBWYQ6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
    This is a very inexpensive solution and works great for me.  I'm listening to my Bose speakers now and they sound great!!  Thank you to all of you for your suggestions and help troubleshooting.

  • Receiver (ear speaker) not working on iPhone 5 after updating to iOS 7

    Since upgrading to iOS 7 (or 7.0.2) the receiver on my iPhone seems to have stopped working.
    I don't make / receive many voice calls - so not sure exactly when problem started.
    Every call I have received in the last 2 days has been silent, where the person calling me can hear my voice, but I cannot hear them.
    Also there is no sound when I make a call.
    Prior to this most recent calls have been silent at first, with the sound only kicking in after 5-10 seconds.
    I can turn speakerphone on - which works.
    I have performed the folowing to try to fix the problem:
    1) Restarted phone
    2) Reset all settings
    3) Restored from backup
    I've checked mute switch, tried volume buttons and ensured airplay is set to iPhone.
    I managed to make the receiver work again by wiping all settings and content, then setting up as a new phone.
    However I do not want to lose all the content, settings, app data saved on my phone, so this is not really an option.

    Yes I have done this 4 times, I am sorry I should've been more clear in the information I provided but thanks for replying

  • Speaker not working on iphone 4, but it's not in headphones mode.

    All my calls are suuuuper quiet, even with the volume up, and my text/call ringer doesn't work. The ringer/silent switch is in the right spot, i can hear my ringer through speakers/headphones, but the phone itself is silent.
    any tips?
    it's a 2 day old iphone 4

    Hello Matt,
    It sounds like you are not able to access iTunes from your iPhone 4 using Home Sharing, but you can from your iPad.  I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
    I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

  • EDGE Not Working Properly - iPhone Forced To Find It

    This is weird. Normally I've got the "E" registered on the top of my screen and all is well when I'm not in WiFi range. After my first charge of a replacement iPhone (the other one was all kinds of whacko), the "E" no longer shows up unless I use an Application to force it. I can't manually check my email without first going into the Stocks or Weather widget first so that the EDGE network can be "found." Same deal with Voicemail. Voicemail isn't available until the EDGE network is forced to be activated using one of the "automatic" widgets. Any ideas?

    You can try restoring your phone as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If that doesn't help, make an appointment to have an Apple Retail Store Genius look at your phone. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    I had to have an iPhone 3GS replaced due to an intermittent home button.

  • Audio in left speaker not working properly

    Hi I recently have bought the HP ENVY 27 and I'm having trouble with the audio. Whether I pay music through the built in speakers or through the headphone jack in the monitor the left speaker seems to be a LOT (at least 50%) quieter than the right speaker. At first I thought the speakers weren't leveled/balanced out but I checked and they are 50/50. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Ok so I just plugged the monitor into my PC through the front headphone jack and it's working fine, it must be the jack at the back of my PC that is messed up! 

  • Siri 'Raise to Speak' not working with iPhone 5S

    Didn't work, did a restore, still doesn't work. The basic 'raise to face' function is working since my phone goes dark when I'm talking with it.
    Guess the first question would be 'Is it working for anyone with a 5S'.
    If it is I guess a trip to the Genius Bar is in order.
