Earphone Jack Not Making Good Contact

Posted by: "Mark" hargrme@gmail.com   hargrme

My iPhone 4 earphone jack is not making good contact. I have a brand new
Apple earphone, so I know that's not the problem.

I'm assuming that the contacts are dirty. What's the best way to clean
them?

I had a problem with the mic not working on my headphone with the mic cord and read a forum that said this could be caused by lint or dirt in the headphone jack . It said to remove most of the cotton off the head of a qtip and insert and clean very lightly.

I would try a burst of compressed air into the jack space. If you haven't already got one of those pressure cans of compressed air from OfficeWorks, Dick Smith, etc I find they are very handy to keep nearby for such cleaning tasks. Such as the sensor space underneath the mouse can become clogged with dust and a burst of air cleans it out.

iPhone discharging

Posted by: "carolt62" caroltapp@bellsouth.net   carolt62

Tue Dec 20, 2011 1:58 pm (PST)



I have had an iPhone 3GS for a little over two years. About a month ago it started discharging really fast, even when I wasn't using it. Assuming that I had possibly downloaded an app that was constantly searching for something, I deleted many of the apps I had recently dl'd. It made no difference. So, after having been told by an AT&T rep in the AT&T store that I probably needed a new battery after two plus years of heavy use, I decided that there was no point in spending $85 for a battery when for $199 I could get a new 4S iPhone.

I did! It came yesterday and I synced it with iCloud. Today it is doing the same thing - discharging fast even when not being used (although not quite as fast as the old one).

My question: Is there any way to check what is running in the background that might be draining the battery? Or is there a list of apps that drain the battery rapidly?

There is no music playing and my GPS isn't searching - two of the ones that would drain it.

I found that the more notifications that were running the faster my
battery drained. I turned off everything not needed an this helped
my battery tremendously.

The old fashioned way to track it down is to delete all of your (delete-able) apps (your backup computer or iCloud should retain them), then see what happens. If the battery still drains rapidly, then you have a warranty issue with Apple. If it no longer drains rapidly, then it's your apps. Replace half of them, and if the battery drains rapidly, remove half of them, etc. (You probably get the idea).

Make sure you have the latest update/fix.  Mine did the same thing when I first got it.  Since installing the update I've had no problem.  I'm finding it stays charged for up to 2 days with only medium use.  Another member of our Mac User Group said to charge the phone for at least 2 hours beyond the recommended charge time.
 
Jesse,

Wow

Someone has not heard of the battery drain issue with iOS 5. My 4gs last 4 to 6 hours, before I have to recharge. I can not wait till iOS 5.1 is released.

There's a 3GS, a 4, and a 4S.
I presume you mean the latter.

At the home screen double click the home button. This brings up the list (at the bottom of currently running apps. Press and hold one of them until the "Don't" symbol (red disk with white line) appears in the upper left corner of each app. Press the "Don't" symbol for each item until they are all gone. This quits the application. Now see how the battery fares. Don't launch any apps for the duration of the test.

If the battery stops discharging rapidly then you can try loading some apps to see if you can identify a problematic app.
