Why has the sound gone all of a sudden after installing the new iOS 5.0.1?

I have had the iPhone 4s since the time it was released in the uk, u had no problems with it, it's network coverage was pretty good, the loudness of the speakers was good ad the battery would last me an entire day, now after installing the new ios 5.0.1, my sous has gone, I can't hear the music playing, I can't here te clicks and the tap sounds when touching the phone, the only time it makes sound is when I make a call and I can put it on loud speaker, other than that there's no sound coming from te loud speaker, oh yeah Siri seems to be working fine. Do aby of you people know what's wrong and if any of you lot are going through the same problem or any other problems since tbe update to ios5.0.1, apple you need to get this sorted as the speaker is important to some of us if not all and it would be great if you could sort this out and any other problems caused by this update and to allow the phone to work and operate the way it should, thanks!

Hi Guys,  I FIXED IT!!!!
I have post eariler on this forum and as you know I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed.  But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!!  This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along.  I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed.  some worked for an hour but then failed.  hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ...  and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection.  Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
1.  a torch
2.  a tooth brush
3.  methalated spirits
4. a butter knife
Step 1.
get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed!  everything!  it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
step 2.
Turn on your music app and put the speakers on!  If your phone is like mine it should not work.  you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
step 3.
Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone.  work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
(As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
Step 4.
Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone.  Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again.  slide it back and forward.  Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors.  if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was)  any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it.  Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine. 
Cheers

  • My g4 running tiger won't startup, got the sound and apple on screen but after that the screen is just blank but not black!

    was working fine, today I startup and all seems normal but after the apple logo it just won't start, the screen is just blank.

    Hi there,
    Does it boot with the Option/alt key held down & show boot choices?
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

  • Why does siri sound different all of a sudden?

    So I'm currently using a Verizon iPhone 5s and got it about 2 weeks ago. When I first used siri she had more of a fluent human like voice but now she sounds robotic, like how when the iPhone 4s came out with siri she sounded robotic.

    There could be a number of reasons, first thing to check is if you are clicking Command + or Command -. The Command 0 keystrokes restore Safari to the actual size. You can also reset Safari by Safari - Reset.

  • Why do I get a "driver conflict detected" message after installing the latest driver.

    I have been having problems displaying print ink levels.  So, I decided to run the latest Print and Scan Doctor software.  Sure enough the diagnostic detected a driver problem and displayed a message "Driver Conflict Detected".  So, following instructions, the driver was uninstalled and new software was installed using the latest full driver and other software install.  After this was completed, the diagnostic was run again, guess what, same message.  The next timeI installed just the driver install package.  The diagnostic was again run.  Guess what, same error.  Well, after a couple of hours trying to find a different driver for a Windows 7 64 bit machine and looking for a different uninstall program, I have given up.  Oh, the other problem is repeated "offline" messages on my wife WIFI connection to the printer. Neither problem has been corrected.   Does anyone have a solution?  
    Thanks -

  • Cannot invoke the APIs defined in Servlet 2.4 after installing the TOMCAT5

    I have no idea why I still cannot invoke the API like request.getRemotePort() and response.setCharacterEncoding() API after I upgraded to TOMCAT 5.0.
    I have included the servlet-api.jar provided with the TOMCAT 5.0 in the class path, but the compiler still cannot resolve the symbols (the above APIs)...
    How can I do?

    i also encounter this problem, i add severlet2.4 that jar file, but still same wrong message, finally , i found cause, it is because if you also add compile path of j2ee 1.3, that is confliction, so get rid of j2ee 1.3 or download new version of j2ee that will ok

  • TS3274 my ipad 2 suddenly lost the sound.  all else works.

    my ipad 2 suddenly lost the sound.  all else works.

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • Problem : Instance info corrupt in SAPMMC after installing the license

    I have successfully installed the NW WAS 2004s preview edition and got the 3 month license key.
    However after installing the license, when I went to SAPMMC to re-start the system, the SAP Instace information seems to be messed up.
    Before installing the license, MMC was showing the SAP system as [Console Root\SAP Systems\NSP\w72c-7wpdl71 0] and now after the installation it has replaced the 7's in my systems name with #'s, so now it looks like
    [Console Root\SAP Systems\NSP\w#2c-#wpdl#1 0].
    SAP Management Console is completely unusable because of this. It keeps on giving 'Host not found' errors.
    Fortunately, everything else with the system seems to be working fine. At least so far !!
    - SLICENSE shows the new license.
    - SICK does not report any problems.
    So far I am forced to use the command prompt to stop and start the instace and the database. This works fine and I am able to start and stop the system.
    Any ideas what could have gone wrong ?
    Did it not like the '-' in my system name ?
    Anything wrong in windows registery ?
    Did I install the license incorrectly ?
    And how to fix this ?
    Any help will be greatly appriciated.
    Devendra
    To add more information,
    - I did not restart the system, even once, before installing the license.
    - After installing the system I just saw SAPMMC and checked all the nodes to see the syslog etc. and they were fine.
    - I might have changed some profile parameters after installing the license.

    Yes, it confuses a handful of you. Just not the other 3 million plus users who downloaded it. Maybe tell Apple instead of yelling at we other users.

  • My ipod classic has started making a mewing sound and all it does is scroll through the songs.  It will not play except when connected to my computer.  I tried resyncing and that did not work. How do I fix this problem?

    My ipod classic has started making a mewling sound and all it does is scroll through the songs.  It does not play on my Bose sound dock or through earbuds.  It will play when connected to the computer...but that makes it hard to take it on a walk with me   I thought it might be a synching problem so tried that--still doesn't work.  How do I fix this problem with out restoring it to the factory setting?  I do not want to lose all my music content as some of it I cannot replace easily.  Please help with suggestions and advice. Thanks.  Karen in GA

    Have you recharge your iPod for at least 2 hours, preferably till the Full charge Battery symbol comes ON.?

  • The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

    The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

    If you lose 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.

  • On my iPhone 4 the sound is all scratchy when listening through earbuds or dock.  Its any sound, music, utube videos.  If I play it through the iPhone speaker or from bluetooth it sounds fine.  It just started about 3 weeks ago.  Any suggestions?

    In the last three weeks my iPhone 4 (OS 5.1.1) the sound became all scratchy when listening through the ear buds of if I dock it.  The sound is fine listening to it from the iPhone speakers or in my car through bluetooth.  Please remember its all sound.  Whether its music, utube or a phone call.  Any suggestions?

    Mini Man, I'm glad to read you found a solution to your issue, but I don't know if your solution is going to be mine as well.
    For starters, I do not have the new Apple TV - at least, not yet. I have ordered one, but it will not be delivered until some time next week (sneering glance at Steve & Co. for abandoning that platform rather than making it AirPlay compatible).
    But that is not really my issue: my issue is that my two Airport Express units do NOT show up in the iPhone, though the DO show up on my iPad. This tells me they have been properly configured (both units have names, and are connected to the house network), so there must still be something missing from the equation.
    And, judging from the response of a few others who have chimed in here, I think it's save to say that the experience is not altogether uncommon.
    I'm surprised nobody has come back with a more direct solution to the common issue. I may have to call AppleCare someday this week...
