Is my iPhone's speaker broken?
I have an old 3GS 16GB. Today, I found out that my phone doesn't make any sound from its built in speakers when I play music on its iPod. Even the volume bar isn't there. But I can hear music when I plug earphones or external speakers. Also it rings and produces all those alert sounds except when the screen locks or the tapping sound when I type. I can goto Settings --> Sounds and play any ringtone too.
Sometimes the sound comes and goes when I hold it upright for some time. Like RIGHT NOW, I can hear the tapping sound while I'm typing and it may disappear if I tilt the device to any other direction. While the sound remains, if I check my iPod, the volume bar will be there.
Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? Speaker hasn't burnt because I can hear ringtones etc too and right now I can hear the tapping too. Oh! Yes it hasn't disappeared yet. Lol. But when I tilt it this way like This, its going to be gone… See ita gone now.
The reason why I'm not selling or getting a new iPhone is because I need to keep all the messages I got from my girl friend. Don't wanna delete those. So if anyone knows a solution to this and also how to transfer SMS from one to the another iphone, let me know FAST for 10 points.
I had a similar problem. I just took it down to the phone store and they fixed it. Not sure about the price, but I think it was around $40-$50. You can transfer all the messages, contacts and other data to the new iPhone. Don't worry about that. Look at the link below for instructions and more info on transferring data.

Awwww, how sweet! I hate sweet.
- When apple replaces a broken iphone, do you get to keep the old broken one? The back camera on my iPhone 4s broke (just stopped working), so I called Apple and I have an appointment set up to replace the old phone with a brand new one. But, I want to know if when they give me the new phone, will they let me keep the old one? The phone still works fine except for the camera. In fact, it's almost perfect. And obviously I want to sell the old one on ebay to make a boat load.
- What happens if my iphone speaker doesn't work? I got an iphone 4s i got it in january it is on contract. i avnt got insurance on it as i don't believe in paying for it as you pay enough for the phone it self. basically since i put it in the docking station it has no sound or sound bar… I've googled on the net and many people have had this problem… In which i have tried their techniques but hasn't worked what so ever… so my question iswill they give me a new one or send it away to be fixed?
