I have no sound after iOS 5 update
So here is the problem...
iOS 5 is released, great! I download install backup etc. everything is still great and iOS 5 is working perfectly. Two days later I lose all sound. No audio playback, no button noises, no locking click... Nothing. The volume buttons on the side of the phone no longer work, if I try to play a video or song there is no audio, nor is there a volume bar to slide the volume up and down even as the song/video plays. Weird. What's worse I don't even know when people are ringing me.
Ways I have tried to resolve the issue:
Switching the silent switch on and off a few of times. Turning off the phone. Restart, all unsuccessful. Then I tried restoring factory settings, still no sound. Finally I bit the bullet and did a restore via iTunes. This also did not work at first. Then and hour later sound begun to work again??? Success? No two days later guess what happend again. No sound. I had a play with the cloud settings this time and decided to turn off the OTA (over the air) back up to iCloud feature, an hour later sound??? Weird.
19th October 2011 (this evening) I lost sound again for no apparent reason. Can't be sure if it is or is not a hardware problem or software issue as during the writing of this topic the sound has come and gone three times. I have sent an email to Apple customer services detailing the issue stated above along with my direct contact details and the request for any advice on the issue but as of yet I have received no reply. That was two days ago.
If any body has the same problem could you simply post "same"
If you have found a resolution please feel free to use as much detail as possible to describe what the underlining fault is, and if at all; there is a way to rectify it.
