Siri causes max volume?!

Hi there,


Got my lovely iPhone 4S today, nice and shiney. Yum.


I've noticed a rather odd problem with the volume, which I'm wondering is only my device or if it's happening to anyone else?


I've set my "ringer" volume using the hardware keys down to a low level. This also adjusts alert tones, and the lock/unlock tone.


If you use Siri, then lock the phone, it seems to max out the volume on the lock noise and any subsequent noise thereafter?


Here's some steps for you to try::


Unlock phone.
Set "ringer" volume to low, not silent, but low.
Lock phone (should be quiet)
Unlock phone (should be quiet)
Hold down home button, ask Siri a question.
Wait for reply
Press home button
Lock Phone --- volume on the 'lock' click is really loud? It is for me at least...?


Anyone else?


Many thanks,


Matt


-----------It seems that plugging in headphones, then unplugging them has fixed this... Apologies!! -delete thread! 🙂

Mine does the same thing too and it does get annoying....the way I have been fixing it is byt going into settings, sound, and touching the sound dot. Make it go a little up then back to where you have it and it fixes it. Either way though I shouldn't have to play with the sound anytime after I use Siri.


Also seems to happen when I use the speaker phone for a phone call or voice memo. Anything that as the person above said, using the external speaker.

I went into the Apple Store in Birmingham, UK today to explain the problem to them.


I spoke to two different people, neither of them had experienced this problem or had any reports of a problem like this yet. We then tried a few different 4S's in the shop to replicate the error. Sure enough, this bug occurs on every iPhone 4S. They seemed to think it was most definatly software related and that a future update will fix the issue in the coming weeks.


There were also more than happy to swap my iPhone 4S with a brand new one, just to put my mind at rest! I declined, as the issue is with the software not the hardware, but a very generous offer by the store in any case. Top marks!!

I have the same problem as well. I have not had mine revert back to normal, yet. Maybe I'm just impatient but I've waited 10 min, locked/unlocked, silent/normal, but the only way mine changed is if I adjust the blue dot in sounds. It is not a big deal just causes me to jump sometimes when I'm at my desk. Hopefully they will get it fixed next update.
