No sound coming from my iPhone
If you have no sound coming from your iPhone it is unbelievably frustrating as you most probably already know. I have been looking for solutions, cures, fixes over the web there are many out there, below you will find a list of some of the solutions.
The symptoms of iPhone no sound Problem/ Issues include:
- iPhone will ring but speaker will not work for anything else.
- iPhone no sound at all for calls, apps, music etc
- iPhone no sound as stuck in headphone mode
Follow these steps and hopefully your iPhone will be back to its prior glory.
iPhone No Sound Step 1,
Loud/ Silent switch on exterior of iPhone is switched to silent mode which is orange. If so flick the other way to loud mode. This is a step that so many people miss, but it is the most simplest.
iPhone No Sound Step 2,
Restart the iPhone. Hold the power switch and home button together for 10 seconds. This will restart your iPhone, you wil not lose any media, contacts, data, etc. If there is a temporary glitch on the iPhone this will eliminate that glitch.
iPhone No Sound Step 3,
Reset iPhone. Go to settings> general> reset> reset all settings. This will not loose any data, media contacts etc. This is a follow on to step 2 and another way you will be able to eliminate the glitch on the iPhone.
If none of these steps were helpful you can see the full list here from my other page iPhone No Sound.

I’ve done every step explained here and I still can’t get audio from my phone. When someone calls me, I can hear my ringtone going off, but when I try to listen to Pandora or watch a video on YouTube, I can’t hear anything.

Thanks the restart worked for me, I thought i was doomed as when this had happened previously I had fixed it through the credit card and hair dryer method and they didn’t work. Apple needs to sort their sh*t out

I went to Ask.com, put in the question: No sound from my iphone & this site was part of that search. I solved my problem & learned so many other things in the process. This information was so helpful, saving under Favorites!

Can anyone help with only being able to hear a caller when on hands-free? All other times the speakers work fine – externally that is. I run Netflix on my phone and can hear perfect. So I guess it’s only internally not working (tho besides a call, when would you use internal? Rhetorical probably…) Hope someone can tell me a fix other than send the darn thing back for a replacement. Phone is brand new.

New iphone4 only about 3 months old. No problems till today. Worked fine all day till tonight and no sound. Couldn’t hear anyone who called. Couldn’t hear any music on my phone, none from you tune videos, nothing. Phone would ring but that was all.
The resetting as was suggested here did the trick! Now it works fine! Thanks so much!!

Fame, what is the toothpick trick? It seems as though the phone thinks the headphones are plugged in all seems to work with headphones. I haven’t been using any headphones.
