Title:
No sound from speaker for 'most' apps like Music, Pandora, Games
Text:
My iPhone 4 won't output sound from the speaker for 'most' apps like the Music (formerly iPod app) app, Pandora, YouTube to name a few. Also keyclicks and lock sounds don't come out of the speaker.
The mute switch isn't on, I've switched it back and forth. I've tried plugging/un-plugging headphones into the headphone jack numerous times to see if some debris are in there. Nothing. I've tried cleaning the headphone jack with a cut q-tip and a little bit of electronics cleaner, still nothing though the first spin of the q-tip looked pretty dirty since I've never cleaned it before (iPhone about 1 year old).
The iPhone 4 WILL play via headset, bluetooth, dock connector and via the earpiece for phone calls.
And the weirdest part is that the iPhone 4 speaker WILL playback normally through the speaker when running Voice Memos, Skype or Talkatone apps. And if I move the ringer slider in Sounds prefs it works normally and produces the different levels of ringtones.
The iPhone 4 WILL also produce keyclicks if I remote-lock the phone via iCloud and press the passcode which has the keyclick sounds.
Alerts through the speaker don't work for SMS and TextFree. Keyclicks don't normally work via TextFree but for some reason it worked normally, even got an SMS alert through the speaker but after going to Music.app volume control disappeared again.
'''Weird workaround'''
If I have both Skype and Apple music app going, make a Skype call, put it into speakerphone mode (sounds comes out of the speaker), open the App Dock, switch to Apple Music app and hit play the volume control remains up and works normally (though the audio is playing over the Skype call's audio).
Runnning an iPhone 4/32GB iOS 5.0.1 on an unbroken iPhone. Already did full restores 3x, one of those times I remote-wiped the phone and restored.
'''UPDATE 12/16/11'''
Ran it without loading backup after yet another restore (actually two restores) and no sounds from the device which was plain without loading any extra apps onto it. No keyclicks. Once after a restore it made the 'hey I'm plugged into power' chirp but that was it. Of course after full restore from backup sound still has the weird problem as above.
Yes, Phone app works via speakerphone, I can control the volume and like Skype once this audio channel is open Music app can play through the speaker but as soon as the phone call hangs up the audio from the speaker for Music app is gone just like my test with Skype.
Yeah, seems like a programming call is routing audio in different ways in the iPhone 4. The app Recorder does not play via the speaker but maybe it uses the music programming call to go through the speaker instead of the voice one.
BTW the phone is out of warranty as it was bought a year and a few months ago.
Could this really be a bad headphone jack causing all of this?
