IOS 5.1.1. update bug (Volume Control)

Aboslutely the same issue occured after the 5.1.1 over the air update. Genius bar thought it was simply water damage to the phone and wanted me to replace one for $200 no matter how hard I tried to explain myself that it occurred RIGHT after the update.

Hi there,

Here the same problem. First i had a crunchy sound, and then it was normal again. But since yesterday my sound is totally gone!...

I've tried to reboot my iphone but that didn't work. 😟

Apple fix this problem!! 😠

Send a feedback form... Thnx for this tip! and now its waiting for an anser....

Same issue on two iphone 4s. Restored 5 times, reset, no luck. Submitted Feedback form. Please Help Apple and quickly.

Tks Jim

I also have this problem..... this is very annoying and needs to be fixed...... soon hopefully please 🙂

I am also experiencing an issue with notificaiton volumes after the iOS 5.1.1 update. I'm not getting any notifications during music playback.

Just sent my feedback form. Hope they fix it soon. It's so annoying not to be able to play music, watch videos, or have sound in games.

I filled out a feedback form yesterday. My phone is now in working order since last night. Not sure if they did something or what but its back. THANKS

I hope things work out for you but I am still skeptical. I have had moments that my device seemed normal but it never lasts. With no response from apple and no software update offered I have a hard time accepting the software would de bug it's self

I have the same exact problem but my phone is iPhone 4. Just after I updated to ios 5.1.1 the problem started. I tries resetting, restored no luck..geez

Same problem here. Tried all suggested solutions. No joy. Sent feedback too. Oddly, on an older 3GS, no problem.

This Apple marketing line of "It just works" makes me smile. I've spent just as much, if not more, time sorting out Apple device glitches as I have with Windows, Windows Mobile (as was) etc etc. In fact, lately I'm spending much more time, esp with phones as each update brings a fresh problem. First, battery drain. Now this. Must admit I will think seriously before upgrading again, at least to an Apple device!!!!! Premium prices should attract premium quality!!!

Just as a final attempt to solve this I connected the phone to one remaining iPod dock I had not tried. Played music, pulled phone straight off dock and - SOUND!!!!!! Let's hope the fix stays fixed!!!!!

Next problem please. Doubtless with 5.1.2!!!!

Sorry to mention this but if you scan the discussion you will find many with momentary posts of victory. Followed promptly to a return to dismay. Moral of the story is I wish you the best but don't get your hopes up. I have had times after docking that my sound returned. Occasionally a text sound will come through or I will have my keyboard clicks. Then after a short while or once I charge my phone I am back to square 1. I tried to turn off wifi sync settings in the hope that if I docked the phone and the sound was back and I didn't sync the fix would last. No such luck.

HELLO APPLE GEEK SQUAD PLEASE FIX OUR FRICKEN PHONES

Yeah, I read this thread and multiple others about this, both here and in other froums. I'd tried ALL the solutions, reset, restore from back-up, restore new, plugging / unplugging headphones and connecting to docks etc etc. All failed. On the way to the window to throw the phone out I stuck it in a Sonos dock I have and bingo. I am hoping, but not betting, that it will last.

Sounds like an iffy solution though and if It's IOS related I hope they fix it. In all honesty, Apple device ownership is starting to become a serious PITA to me as of late I am expending hours and often days trying to find ways to ensure that "It just works" 😟
