iPhone Problems. Anybody Else On Here Got This .?

[WhackyWill]

I recently noticed that I was missing calls on my iPhone.

 

Thought it was just my ringtone was turned down, so re-set it all

 

and still the same. Today missed a few call as well, so Google'd

 

it to discover its a problem caused by upgrading to IOS 7...

 

Surely Apple need to sort this out rapidly, but seems not. :angry:

Nothing like that at all, and those issues are from a year ago on that thread. I would've thought that bug would've been patched by now, you def on 7.1.2?

[Stutopia]

Give them a call Will, they're usually pretty helpful.

Is there gunk in your headphone jack?

The problem is with the ringing volume BM, not with playing music over headphones.

[Ekona]

Very odd. You've tried backing up, erasing and restoring?

Dumb question but have you got the ringer silence switch "on", same happened to me for a few days i was missing calls and after Googling saw that the switch was set to "Silent", must have flicked it on while in my pocket or something

Done everything they suggested in the Apple link,

 

My Son suggested I have been standing next to DFVs for too long and going deaf..

No its not on silent, its just gone low volume recently..!!

[Martinjj]

Probs best to take it to an Apple store or your phone company for a once over... Reminds me of a mate of mine a few years ago, he had problems with the volume coming through the ear piece on his Nokia, so he took it to bits at work and blew compressed air into it to blow out the dust... not his smartest move, totally obliterated his phone and brought a whole new meaning to "Blowing things up"

[BulletMagnet]

Perhaps the speaker is damaged or obstructed, take it to an Apple store and see what they can do, usually they will be helpful

Thanks all on here, but I think I may have found the answer.. :thumbs:

I think your headphone socket needs replacing Will. Not expensive to buy but very fiddly.

Or the switch embedded in the socket that diverts sound from phone to ear piece may be jammed or dirty.

1st of all dip the jack plug of your earphones in some alcohol the same stuff you use for cleaning screens

and components.

Then rapidly push in and out 8-10 times and try that.

If this does not cure it then a replacement socket is about £12 - £25 dependant on where you go.

The cheap £5 ones on fleabay do not last long.

Hope this helps

Thanks mate. Appreciate that, will do.

 

But I do like the idea of sticking it in my ear..!!!

I use these on my electrical goodies to keep them debris free.

You should turn it off first and NOT shake the can, otherwise you get liquid with your air.
