No Sound on iPhone 4S after iOS 8 Upgrade

same problem fix it apple fast

Thanks! Charger connector wiggling helped!

Apple needs to get a grip with their connectors: first my wife's iPhone 5's headphone jack got stuck (sucked on it & it fixed it). Now this.

Edit: one day later this problem reappeared. Now I brushed the connector slot with an interdental brush and got sounds audible again.

Thanks for the suggestion re using the Voice Memo.

My problem was that, after the IOS 8.1 upgrade, I couldn't hear voicemails using my bluetooth headset, as the volume was too low.

- they sounded ok via speaker.

Going into the Voice Memo app and recording a message (via the headset) fixed the problem.

- I guess some auto volume adjustment has been (partially) added to iOS.

SOLVED!

hi guys, i have some trick to bring back your sound notifications. but first, jailbreak your iphone, and then follow this step:

1) Jailbreak the iPhone (IOS 8.1.1, 8.1.2 using TaiG)

2) Download and install ifile navigate to System / Library / LaunchDaemons

5) Within the right column find 'com.apple.iapd.plist', right click then select delete

6) Close ifile and reboot the iPhone

7) Enjoy sounds again on your iPhone!

cheers!

This stops your iPhone from recognising that it's pluggen into a docking device. Yes, I know you don't even OWN a docking decide, but that's whay your iPhone thinks 😟

i have this problem since i updated my iphone4 with this software as wel,l my phone cant play my all docking systems in my house anymore ,on top of that i bought that ipod touch 5th generation to replace my ipod touch 4th generation which as turned out to be useless since i cant even use it with my all docking station that i already have in my all rooms

Hi. We have 2 iPhone 4S, but only one of them shows this symptom. I will try wiggling connector trick when I go home. I am so surprised that so many people are affected. I re-installed iOS8, and it was working. After 12h, it is now very unstable. It works sometime like 20 % of time.....

Apple! HELP!!!!

Compfreak YOU DID IT!! THANK YOU!!!!

I did something a little different though. I noticed the speaker in the top right (4S) was white. I touched it and it turned BLUE. I turned it white again and played a voice memo. I could barely hear it. While the voice memo was playing, I turned it BLUE and the volume got LOUD. So, I went to the youtube app and played a video AND I HAD SOUND!!! Whatever the upgrade was, it changed the voice memo playback. What a weird fix, but I'm so glad you made your post.

QUICK FIX INSTRUCTIONS

Go to VOICE MEMOS

If the speaker button at the top right or left is WHITE tap it, it should turn BLUE.

Try your apps to make sure the sound is working properly.

THREE CHEERS FOR COMPFREAK!!

My sounds are very random as well...when it comes to playing any sounds except Receiving calls.. Idea for Apple!!!! How about Apple stop Releasing Crappy IOS Updates that break the phones and just re-sign the ios 7 for the Iphone users So we can have long battery life and unbroken sounds. Feels like i got bent over By apple putting this ios 8 on my phone and cant TAKE IT OFF. My favorite features with ios 8 Broken sounds and Crappy battery life. Thank you apple!!!!!

MMy iPhone 4s has no vibration no sounds either

My cousin Morgan has the same problem on her iPhone 4s and i posted a comment on Sprint's Google+ page and they suggested to go to the Genius Bar to fix it,but they do not sell the iPhone 4s any more so what will they do if the phone cannot be repaired

I have a similar problem, but not as pervasive as some of the comments. I upgraded my 4S to IOS 8.1.3. Although I have sound when I-Tunes, the setting for sounds, and vibrate, my phone has no sound with incoming calls or text messages. Any thoughts?

Same problem here. Updated last weekend, sound output gone. Came back briefly, then cut out again. How is it that this issue has not been resolved already??

Not looking for a hack, but a legit long term solution.

Not sure if this will help or not. I have an iphone 5 and have not upgraded to 8 yet. I lost my alert sounds - email, text message, clicks while typing, etc. I looked at all the suggestions in previous posts and tried the hard reboot etc. I checked my sounds in settings etc. Nothing worked. To not bother my husband, I turn the volume down on my games etc. But, today, there was a video I wanted to "listen" to on facebook and turned up the volume to listen to it. Suddenly, I now had all my alert sounds back. I opened a game and it was loud. So, it seems that the alert sounds are in sync with any other thing you want to listen to. Now, it will be a pain in the butt to have to remember that when I turn down the volume on games, facebook, you tube, etc, Ill have to turn it back up when I am finished. Seems these should not be linked.......

Now if I could just get my iphone5 to start "seeing" my home wifi like it used to do, Ill be in business. All other devices see it just fine.

the fix of going to voice memo and toggling speaker Icon from blue to white Was the right thing. Thanks
