My new iPhone 12 Pro Max toggles the silent mode switch randomly to the on position. I don’t know why it’s doing that. I’ve turned off the “do not disturb” and “schedule” functions but the silent mode still toggles randomly to the on position. Could it be a software issue?
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14
My switch was being toggled by the Apple silicone case. If you have an Apple case, you can easily duplicate this by gently pushing the top left corner of the case (the one nearest the silent mode switch) toward the back of the phone. Without much effort, it will trip the switch. So, in my case, when my phone was in my pocket, it would often flip the silent mode switch. Since I returned the Apple case and replaced it with an Otterbox Symmetry MagSafe case, it no longer accidentally flips the switch. However, the my MagSafe wallet does not stay on as well as it did on the Apple case. I do not know if it's due to the strength of the magnets or the fact that the silicone case was "grippier" or something else. I saw where another poster replaced his Apple case with a Nomad case and the problem went away. Good Luck!
iPhone 12 mini silencing switch seems to go off on its own.
I don't know if you have an Apple Store nearby, but fortunately, I do. I showed them the issue with my Apple case and they gave me an exception and a full refund.
Well, not me. And this is being reported by some with other cases. It does sound most probable I’ll grant you, but…
I did a short video that illustrates how the case turns the ringer off.
I have the same problem but can't figure out why, when it switches on its own to off, it never switches on its own from off back to on !!
I can't replicate this ( manipulating the edge of the Apple silicone case to see if the case is shutting the switch off) no matter how hard I try.
Thanks. I will try this one. I use Apple's silicon case. Ideally Apple should have provided solution if case was faulty.
My iPhone 12 regularly activates the silent button.
I think you are probably correct.
I did the same thing. Mine is a bit cleaner. I was surprised that that cutting it wasn't easy. If anyone does do this it doesn't affect the integrity of the case at all.
I don’t have an Apple case but I had a different one a couple months ago. Took it off and still having an issue.
Thanks a lot 😄
At time my iPhone 12 Pro Max just goes on silent mode and it’s not switched. When the silent mode is not switched on or not turn on silent. But my iPhone still is in silent mode and don’t know why.
Silent switch randomly turns on on iPhone 12 also leading to missed calls too many times. Phone is 11 months old.
Why does my IPhone 12ProMax mute/silencer spontaneously and randomly t5oggle from off to On
