Hi, I have an iPhone 4 running 4.1 and jailbroken but one speaker has stopped working, I will have to take it back to the shop but will restore it first, I will want to jailbreak it again when it's fixed. My question is, if I send it off for repair will they update the software to 4.2 (which cannot be jailbroke). When I had a nolkia and it was sent off for repair the automatically updated the software, is this the case with apple? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

There is only one speaker on the bottom of the iPhone. The other side is the microphone.
Common misconception!

I still giggle every time I read one of these posts 
I made the same mistake when I first got the iphone 4 last Summer. It was also my first iphone. Darned Apple for making the speaker and mic look the same... though it does look more balanced like this.
Stereo speakers WOULD be nice though!

Hardly.
Jake got the joke, so nothing to be embarrassed about
Want to know embarrassing? I literally called customer service after I "found out that a speaker wasn't working" and asked them, then they told me... I'm a computer programmer for IBM and made that mistake!

Your right. Since this thread has everything to do with jailbreaking and the question has to do with a problem from jailbreaking

Except that the sticky is no longer there I dunno who thought it a great idea to remove, butYeah, but some of us know how to read stickies.
Really? Funny, I looked at the stickies in the main iPhone forum and selected the one titled read first: common iPhone problems. If you scroll down, it's still there.
This took me half a minute to find.
I stand by my original position: there are newbies who know how to read the stickies.

The reference to the sticky no longer being there was to a thread that used to be sticky called something like "READ FIRST : Only one speaker working on your iPhone? Read here NOW"Really?

It is very interesting how this is overlook by a lot of people, it is actually crazy the amount of people that take their devices the Apple store for this issue.
True, it's not as in-your-face as it used to be; however, people still asked this question even when the sticky was separate. Actually, the sticky was titled more like "I only have one working speaker".
Stupid newbies are differentiated by their unwillingness to read the stickies first. They're newbies, so they have no way of knowing if their situation is unique or not. Yet, they're so egotistical as to think their problem is so unusual that they can skip all the stickies.
Personally, I wish there was a way to force the user to read the stickies on the sub-forum first before allowing them to post.

Only one speaker working on your iPhone? (Or something like that.)
Sometime ago some smart mod decided to combine it with a general sticky…
So, sweetums, I stand by my reply to your post.
It was removed/moved.
Have a nice day.
BTW, as soon as it was moved, at least two threads popped up asking about the iPhone's one speaker…
Coincidence?
that's what i was wondering. why not make them both speakers and have a hole for the mic. almost every other phone uses a pinhole for the mic and apple even used one for that secondary mic.
the only problem i see is when playing games in landscape that one of those speakers could be blocked. then they would have to have one speaker on each side of the phone instead of on the same side.
stereo speakers would be nice either way.
