Squeaking Sound from sides of iPhone 3G

I noticed today when I was on a call with my new iPhone 3G that if I slightly squeeze the sides that it makes a squeaking sound. I'm not sure it the sound is coming from between the silver trim or screen glass or from between the silver trim and back cover. Now the sound doesn't affect the phone in anyway; its just bothersome to know that it makes that sound. I got it on launch day and I don't want too much time to pass by that if it becomes worse over time I won't be able to do anything about it. What is the return policy for the iPhone 3G and would anybody know if they would exchange it on-site for a new one? I don't want them sending me one through Exchange By Mail and I certainly don't want them trying to pass on a refurb to me.

Take it back mate! Why should you settle for a product with defects when you've paid so much for it a committed yourself to a contract? I'm on my 4th Black 16GB iPhone 3G at the moment. I love the phone to bits, but these common defects are beyond a joke. My last handset had:
Scrathed chrome bezel
Creaky chrome bezel
Backlight leakage on the left hand side of the phone
Poorly fitted rubber gasket
Dust trapped underneath the screen
A chunk of glue stuck between my silent switch
Accelerometer wasn't calibrated properly, apps that used it tended to veer to the left
and....

FAINT sound from Side Speak

Hi! again, can someone help me configuring X-Fi Fatality & T7900 so that I have proper sound output from all 8 channels. Have Windvd 7. A very faint sound comes out from Side Speakers. When I test speakers, they seem GOOD with proper vol output through all channels. THX console also shows proper output of sound from all speakers. MP3 plays well, but When I play any DVD there is hardly any sound from side speakers. Tried every thing. Guess I am making a mistake in configuring setup. I tried using the below advise but still no go. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------2) Decode the AC3/DTS with your Sound Blaster.?You should choose this option if?you don't have an external decoder. In the DVD software, select 'SPDIF' as the audio output method and make sure that 'SPDIF Pass-through' in the souncard options is?off. The DVD software will now pass the compressed audio to your soundcard, which will then decode the data. The soundcard will output the 6 channels using the?analogue connections (or digital DIN, more on this later). If you try?to use a digital optical/coax connection to your speakers, you will only hear faint sounds from the front left/right speakers.---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - X-Fi Fatality & Inspire T7900WinDVD 7WinXP Pro.?[color="#ff0000"]Please Guide

Inspire T7900 no sound from side...

Hi there, i've just buy an "Audigy2 ZSplatinium", an "Inspire T7900" and a "decoder DDTS-100"
i've try to connect my sound card to my sub without the decoder, i don't have any sound from side speaker, if i switch rear and side speaker, the speaker itself works, but it seems the sounds don't come to the side...
i've try to connect with the decoder, in analogic, and optical, same problem...
when i try to calibrate the audio systeme, i can hear sound from front speaker (all 3), both rear, but when the programs wants to test side one, i got a horrible sound, like "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII III" at the place of the usual "left side" or "center".... i've try to finish the calibrate but the programs say my cable aren't connect well, i've RE-check all, it's good.....
i've all deconnected, uninstalled, and RE- install ALL the syteme.... same problem
I'm starting to become crasy.
I don't know if the probl?me comes from my sound card or my audio sytme....
PLS help me....

stiaros,
Not sure if you are able to install the EAX4 driver for your OEM card but you can try installing it - EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Update for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2/Audigy 2 ZS. After you are done installing that, do a search for this filename CTPANEL.EXE, you should be able to configure the card through this.

Sound from the speaker iPhone 4S 5.1.1. disappeared!?

About one hour ago I lost the sound from the speaker iPhone 4S 5.1.1. Lost in the middle of a conversation with a friend whom I put on speakerfon, first started to choking and after that sound is disappeared, and than appears in the fraction of a second and after is completely gone. On two occasions it choking when I put some videos and that's all. There is no sound even when someone call me, only vibrates. Note that phone was never dropped, as a new one, and I got it from July last year. Headphones works normaly. Any help without service?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

DVD Audio- I want sound from sides, not r

Is there any way to reconfigure so that surround sound from dvdaudio comes out of the side speakers instead of the rear when using a 7. setup?

Blakejohann,
I am not aware of any way to do this. The mapping to the channels is discrete and our card doesn't have software that allows remapping channel outs.

No sound from itunes music iphone 4s

Just got Iphone 4s last week. I have been playing music through the speakers, today when I tried I get no sound from speakers. I have checked to make sure the iphone is not muted. I have turned off and on the iphone and I have reset the iphone, still no sound.

Hi
I have the same problem. iPhone 4S with newest update. No sound while playing music (grey volume buttons). No sound for alerts e.g. incoming SMS.
Total reset does not help. Restore from iTunes Backup helps, but sound only available for some minutes (can play music direct form iPhone, without ear-phone)
Issues is still open. All contact cleaned (ear-phone etc.)
Please help.
With kind regards,
Swiss JFK

The sound was lost suddenly while listening to a pre-aired program on National Public Radio that I accessed from a link from an email from my sister. Everything sounded fine for the first 10 minutes then the sound from the 4S iphone speakers just stopped.

I lost the speaker sound suddenly while listening to a previously aired radio program. Cannot hear any sounds on my Apple 4S iPhone since it happened. Cannot even hear Siri anymore. Can only hear any sound at all using my ear buds. No speaker sound whatsoever. Any suggestions? I've already restored the whole system using iCloud as my backup. I've also rebooted the phone several times. The sound functions well using headphones (which i was not using when the speaker sound all of a sudden stopped working in the middle of the program). I tried cleaning any debris from the speaker and other crevices using a toothbrush and have tried blowing any debris out too. I pressed up on the charging dock using a pen and tapped on the speaker side to dislodge any debris. I even stuck my phone in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer as someone suggested. Any other ideas? I even deleted an app to free up some space. Any other suggestions please?

Hi iLLz I do not have this issue with the new drivers, however may I suggest you uninstall the old drivers first. To do this. Locate the downloaded driver exe. SBAX_WEBUP_LB_2_08_0004.exe Extract this with an application called WinRAR http://www.rarsoft.com Once you have extracted the driver file run the .exe called setup.exe in your drivers folder. eg. SBAX_WEBUP_LB_2_08_0004\Drivers Select the uninstall option. Good Luck
As for additional info ...
When you update drivers by running the setup.exe found on \Drivers -folder, (or ctzapxx.exe found on it's \Support\i386 & amd64 sub folder ) --> select (tag) the "Overwrite existing shared ..." -checkbox --> you do not need to run this uninstall process at all.

No Sound from Side Speakers on P7800

I just got my P7800 speker setup and installed. I have an Intel D95PBL motherboard with a built-in 7.1 sound card. I plugged in the four jacks on the sub woofer (center, front, side, center) to the four jacks on the sound card. I set the switch on the Sub Woffer to "Direct" for use with 7.1 sound cards.
I used Intel's Audio Studio application (http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/software/ias/) to configure the sound card for 7.1 speakers. I then used their built in test sound to check the channels. The Front, Center/Sub, and Rear speakers all tested perfectly. When I tested the Side channel, I got nothing. No sound what so ever. The graph display for side speakers in the Audio Studio shows there is something being played but I hear nothing out of them.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
T

I am having the exact same problem!!! Please help, I am using a D95PBL motherboard, and i have the P7800 speakers. The problem is that there are four connectors on the side of the audio cable that connects to the sub woofer. However on the one going to the computer, the blue one is missing which is the side speakers one. Is there a reason for that?

Strange Sounds from my iPhone 5 screen

Just got my second iPhone 5 (16gb) from the Apple Store in Stockholm / Sweden and i notised that this one also have the same problem as my last one that got replaced. The problem is that im getting some strange cracking sounds from the bottom left / right side of the screen (screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/JSuOO.jpg ). It feels like theres some gap between the screen and the part thats "holding" the screen.
anyone else having this problem? or is it just normal with the iPhone 5?

user damage invalidates the warranty .You have no warranty in the US .You can return it in person to Apple Store in US and they may repair it if just broken glass if more damage then an exchange unit will be $269 + tax

I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?that will play audio please

I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?

The genuine Apple adapter works for me, most cheap knockoffs do not support sound ,it is usually in the micro print at bottom of the ebay offerring
It is pricey by comparison but it works and the knock offs usually don't pay the patent licence fee hence they guess the technology that is in the lightning plug
and charge a minimal price
