Weird hardware issue, wondering if anyone else ran across this. Phone is out of warranty so I'm stuck with it and its problems. I've got a 4S, my original one was replaced for a bad speaker, then 2 weeks after the 90 day warranty this one had the earpiece stop working.
I took it to a shop who replaced the earpiece, worked fine for about a day then crapped out again. Speaker works fine, I just can't hear anything out of the earpiece. I've checked the headphone jack problem as well and it's not that. So I went back and he replaced the earpiece again, and replaced the flex cable to make sure that was not the issue, same thing the earpiece worked for about a day then stopped working. I actually had him replace it a 3rd time and same freakin thing!!
Any hardware gurus care to venture a guess? I'm not up for a upgrade and don't really want the ip5 anyway, I'm quite happy with the ip4s.
