This was fixed on my phone just by opening and closing the Calendar app.

Apple didnt solved the problem.

There isnt any specific solution. Some things worked for different users.

In my case worked the following package:

Delete all aplications releated with mic and music usage or playing pls the following:

Since tuesday my iphone 4s works perfectly!

After trying all the previous ideas, I discovered that when I was connected to my wi-fi trying airplay, the "iphone" option wasn't offered, just dock station, apple-TV, and other airports that I have in my network...

Other situation like random playing music like 5 seconds after deploying from dock etc told me that the problem was in the dock connector at the button of the iphone.

So I turned it off, took a Johnson cotton swabs with alcohol little wet... I passed it several times into the iphone dock connector.... then another but dry... both start be something dark, dirty... so i waited until the iphone connector was dry and turned it on....

that occurred an hour ago... since that I´m hearing my music on my iphone speaker!!! good luck!!

Pl advice if it worked!

Appologies for my english!

I am a technician and didn't think it would work...but low and behold, cleaning the dock connector with a tiny amount of alcohol (I used a qtip with most all of the fuzz ripped off one end) and just scrubbed the end of the connector...I was going to go found a toothbrush since I couldn't get down in there but decided to try it first and it worked!!! That is sure craziness but I emplore you all to try that if you haven't...

Great tip Halfslice,


As I hadn't ever touched the ringer off switch I never thought of that. My phone lost ringer and other alert sounds, so being near an apple store I went to the genius bar. They suggested backup and restore which I did, but no change. They never thought of the simplest explanation! The switch only showed a tiny red line, it had barely been moved. Thanks again.
