If your iPhone 4 does not work speaker (You are heard, but you are not) There are several ways to avoid this trouble. Yes, this can happen, and no one is insured here. The very first actions can be aimed at solving this problem on our advice.

LikBez - where and what is in the iPhone 4

Let's start with what and where is in the iPhone 4. There are two holes at the bottom. One of them is responsible for the microphone, the second for the built-in speaker. In the middle there is a connector for connecting a universal Apple cable... Above, there is the off button and the culprit is the 3.5 mm jack. We are talking about the loss of sound not from the built-in speaker, but from the central one, which is located on the front panel, that is, when the interlocutor is not heard. Don't get confused. And the second hole from the bottom is - once again - a microphone, not a stereo speaker.

Cause 1. The headphone plug has shorted

Yes, it can happen. When buying a new or even a used iPhone 4, you are not insured against the fact that the 3.5 mm adapter, which is responsible for connecting the headset, can close. And only repeated sticking and pulling of the headset can help to open it. In some cases it helped. It is desirable to pull out sharply.

It should be understood that if this happened as a result of long-term operation, then there is only one way out - replacing the upper sound loop, simultaneously with a 3.5 mm audio jack

Cause 2. Incorrect audio output source

Usually after use Bluetooth headset audio transmission may not work properly. Go to settings and turn off the Bluetooth headset. This may be the case when buying an already used iPhone 4.

Reason 3. You just don't know about all the buttons on the iPhone.

There is a Mute button on the side of the iPhone, which is responsible for the muted signal. It is possible that you have turned off your phone in the Mute position. Just if a red dot is displayed on it, move it to a different position. The lever is next to the volume buttons and has two positions.

Reason 4. Software

You may have installed third party programs from Cydia or iTunes. Remember what you put in recent times, remove unnecessary programs and restart your phone. Sometimes it is usually helpful to restart your phone. This error occurs when installing the Apollo program. Delete it from the phone memory and delete all traces of it in file system phone using special utilities.

Restart the phone - simultaneously hold down the central home button and the Power button.

Smartphones are gaining popularity every year, new models are entering the market, electronics are becoming more advanced and functional, but problems during operation are inevitable. There are a lot of iPhone breakdown options, let's try to figure it out in this sea of \u200b\u200bchaos. In this article, we will answer the question of what to do if the speaker on the iPhone does not work? We will find the reasons for getting out of the standing speakers and list the options for eliminating the problem.

According to statistics, 25% of users face this problem. With the release of new models from Apple problemwhen the speaker does not work on a seemingly reliable device like a tank, it will only get worse.

Why does not it work?

For all iPhone models, a conversational speaker and a polyphonic one for playing music and a call signal are placed. For example, if the sound does not work on the iPhone, it is necessary to understand which one has become unusable. There are many reasons when a speaker on an iPhone breaks down, here are the most common:

• Water got into the polyphonic or earpiece speaker
• Mechanical damage to the phone
• Overheating and subsequent peeling of the microcircuit responsible for the encoding sound signal, maybe it is because of this that you lost the sound on your iPhone.
• The fall of the iPhone from a great height onto a hard surface, as a result, is again a problem with the microcircuit.
• Software iOs errors, applications, or common system glitches

As a result of the speaker not working on the iphone 5, the sound on the iPhone does not work. But it is necessary to clarify, since the upper and lower loudspeakers are installed in the phone, each is responsible for the reproduction of different sounds. To find out which of them has become unusable, especially if water gets into the phone, we carry out the simplest tests, by analogy with microphones.

Top speaker malfunction symptoms

1. Sound is not played during conversation

After you have received an understanding of the problem, you need to try to fix them yourself, without the help of paid masters from service centers. If, when communicating with the interlocutor, you hear crackling, interference and stuttering, most likely there is something with a connection, but not always. This may be caused not by the fact that the conversational or music speaker does not work, but a problem with the audio codec, a small microcircuit, in the bowels of the phone.

Only the simplest and most obvious problems can be eliminated on your own when the conversational or lower speaker does not work.

What can be done at home:

1. Try to start very sharply insert into the jack and also sharply pull out the headphone plug. Repeat this procedure several times.

2. Remember if you installed any software... This is also the reason why the speaker does not work on the iPhone 4, 4s. Remove the software and look at the "reaction" of your iPhone.

3. Quiet speaker on iPhone 4, 4s is the result of accidentally decreasing the volume to a minimum. Check the sound lever.

4. If all else fails, try restarting by simultaneously holding down the Home button and the Power button.

5. Quiet speaker on iPhone 5, 5S, 5C is a consequence of using Bluetooth headsets. To do this, go to the settings and disable them.

The guy who contacted us ran into the following problem: the speaker does not work on the iPhone 5, 5S, 5C. And exactly the one located at the top of the device. That is, during a conversation, you can hear him, but the interlocutor is not. Speakerphone and the headphones are ok. Recovery via aytyuns did not help either. I checked the audio jack - it didn't help either. The diagnostics established a breakdown of one radioelement.

From this example it follows that changing the speaker on iPhone 6, 6+, 5, 5S, 5C, 4, 4S is not always necessary. It is enough just to contact a specialist to establish the true cause of the malfunction. And then everything will be all right.

If the speaker on the iPhone is quietly working, then most often the problem is caused by a hardware problem. However, sometimes the volume drops due to software glitchesthat can be fixed by restoring the device.

Possible reasons

The first step is to understand why the speaker has become quieter. The reasons may be as follows:

• Setting a low volume level in the settings.
• Covering the speaker with accessories: film, cover.
• Clogged mesh that covers the speaker or the headphone jack.
• Software glitch.
• Speaker failure.

All the reasons, except for the last one, can be dealt with on your own by returning the phone to a working state.

Troubleshoot yourself

You should start with the simplest thing - checking the volume level. For regulation, there are special buttons on the side of the device - volume rockers. Press on the top of the rocker to add power.

If the speaker on the iPhone becomes quiet in specific situations (for example, only when the alarm rings), then check the sound settings:

1. Open the settings and go to the "Sounds" section.
2. Check the volume level set for the Ringer and Alerts parameter.

Phone inspection

If everything is fine with the volume in the settings, inspect the device visually. If the sound becomes quiet right after purchasing an iPhone, make sure you remove the shipping container from the case. protective film... It protects the smartphone during delivery to stores, but after purchasing the device it makes no sense, since it blocks the speaker.

If your phone is protected by a case or cover, see if the accessory is covering the speaker. Remove all accessories and check if the sound is normal. The problem is especially relevant when using non-original cases that do not have suitable cutouts for iPhone connectors.

Another important point is cleaning the speaker mesh from accumulated dirt and dust. You can clean the device with a non-sharp object so as not to accidentally puncture the speaker. Some users neatly vacuum their iPhone at low power, but this is not the safest solution.

Not only the speaker should be clean, but also the headphone jack. It should also be cleaned with a non-sharp object to avoid damaging the phone. According to posts on various iPhone forums, users are helped by a simple step: they insert the headphone plug into the jack, and then pull it out. The sound after this simple operation returns to the normal volume level.

Device recovery

If the speaker on the iPhone is very quiet, but you cannot visually detect the cause of the problem, try restoring the device. If the problem arose as a result of a software failure (for example, after an unsuccessful jailbreak or firmware), then resetting the settings will help solve it.

1. Connect iPhone to iTunes and do backupin order not to lose information (all data will be erased during recovery).
2. Click "Restore" to start the firmware process.

iTunes will download itself the version you want firmware and install it on the smartphone. To speed up the process, you can first download the firmware file, and then specify the path to it by holding shift key when you click the "Restore" button.

Owners of the iPhone 4s sometimes face such a problem as speaker breakage. It becomes impossible to use a smartphone with such a breakdown. Therefore, it is quite natural that a desire arises to eliminate it as quickly as possible.

Why can the speaker fail in iPhone 4 / 4s?

There are many reasons why the speaker stops working in the iPhone 4s. But in the vast majority of cases, this is a dismissive attitude towards the gadget on the part of the owner. Many users do not consider it necessary to handle the iPhone carefully. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that sooner or later some element of the gadget fails. It is completely pointless to make claims to the manufacturer here. A shock, a fall, moisture ingress - all this often becomes the main reason for a non-working speaker. This can damage the speaker or some of its important components. Also, the speaker may fail due to software failure.

What to do if the speaker is out of order in the iPhone 4 / 4s?

If moisture gets into the smartphone, then it must be dried in a well-ventilated area. This usually helps. At the same time, there is a high probability that corrosion has already appeared inside the gadget. In this case, as in the case of a fall or impact, an already qualified repair will be required, using special equipment and tools, as well as original spare parts. If a software glitch occurs, the speaker will need to be reflashed.
