I installed one of those orange screen protectors,those that you have to apply a solution,formula and my iPhone was on and now I can only hear the ringtone,messages and other alerts but no sound in games,videos or music,even the keyboard clicks and the lock sound I can't hear.With the headphones,everything works just fine.I tried to clean the dock connector with a toothbrush,I cleaned the 30 mm jack,I used a blow drier with minimum heat from a proper distance,I kept the iPhone turned off for 2 hours,I restored,nothing.And when I unlock the iPhone,I can hear the lock sound once and if I quickly go to spotlight and type,the keyboard clicks work for about 4 seconds.

Somone how the liquid has affected the handset. Best bet is to take it to apple and get them to look at it.

How much solution did you use? I've installed tons of "wet" install screen shields over the years, some of which have been VERY wet, and I've never experienced a problem. Just crap luck I guess.

Put your iPhone in a bag of rice and seal it up for a couple of days. It might be able to save your iPhone.

Same here. If you're using enough to cause liquid damage then you're using too much.

I kept the iPhone turned off for 2 hours
If you suspect liquid damage, immediately power down and allow the device to fully dry for several days. 2 hours is not enough. If you have water damage and you apply power then you've likely caused more damage.

Today when I was playing a game,the sounds started for about 3 seconds and than it stopped,I happened 2 times today.

So I kinda fixed the sound problem,everything works perfect,for now.I am on ios 5.0.1 and I installed icleaner pro.Someone said once that my iphone has water damage and it only works with headphone because the hardware thinks that the headphones are connected so I disabled some daemons from icleaner pro like ota daemon,vpn daemon AND accessory daemons(disabling these daemons will render accessories unusable, except for chargers) which means that I can't use headphones anymore.I disabled it and now my sound works perfect and the headphones works perfect as well.WHY?
