If this were mine, I would be, as it were, holding my breath, if I tried the
following, I could be in a worse situation if it didn't work, no speech at
all. So, do it at your own risk. It is if something has gotten messed up
in the bluetooth settings, so the iPhone thinks the jam box is still
connected when it isn't. Still holding my breath, I would go into
bluetooth, and tap the more info button after the jam box listing, and tell
it to forget this device. If it works, your iphone then will be released
and should start using its speaker again.
If you do this and it works, just in case you may not remember how to put
the jam box into pairing mode again (I didn't remember when I needed to
remember and it took a lot of google searching to find out), hold up on the
on/off switch really hard for a few seconds, and it will say jam box is in
pairing mode. It doesn't appear as if that button will go up any further,
but apparently it does just a little bit.
Let us know what happens.

Subject: Help - possible corrupt software
I am at a complete loss as to how to attempt to solve the problem
outlined here.
I have an iPhone 4 which is running IOS 7.1. This phone is used
primarily for internet audio streaming. Much of the time, the iPhone 4
is connected via blue tooth to my Jambox. On Friday afternoon, I was
playing the iPhone through the Jambox and turned off the Jambox so as to
listen through the iPhone's internal speaker. This of course caused the
stream to pause, so I pressed the power button, intending to unlock the
iPhone so as to do a two finger double tap to continue the stream playing.
No sound came out of the speaker when the power button was pressed.
After trying this several times, I turned the Jambox back on. When I
then pressed the iPhone's power button, I got the appropriate prompts,
after which I was able to unlock the stream and do whatever I wished
with no apparent difficulty. I then again turned off the Jambox and
repeated the same sequence with the same results.
Again, I got things up and running by turning the Jambox back on and
unlocked the screen without difficulty. At this point, I powered down
the iPhone. But when I powered up again, the same silence occurred.
Again, I could get things going by turning on the Jambox. So I went
into settings and sounds, thinking to see if something had changed.
Absolutely nothing had changed. However, when I flicked down with one
finger to lower the volume setting by ten per cent, the appropriate
percentage was verbalized through the iPhone's internal speaker. But as
soon as I backed completely out of settings, the internal speaker was
silent again. Only when I changed the volume setting was anything
verbalized through the internal speaker, absolutely nothing else.
Obviously, this being a 4, it is not under warranty. So I am open to
suggestions as to what to do to rectify the situation. Has anyone else
on list had a similar experience? If so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks in advance for feedback.
