IOS 5.1.1. update bug (Volume Control)

As expected, sound went again. Had to put it back on dock to bring back. Unacceptable solution (which isn't actually a solution) for such expensive hardware.

Not waiting for 5.1.2 and the inevitable problem that will bring with something else!!!!

I also suffer from this problem and it annoys the **** out of me. 😟

i downloaded wolfenstein game for iphone which is free for a while

started up the game and got access to volume control

it was very low

changed it to high

stopped game and did other stuff

volume works (for now)

will report more

iPhone 4S OS 5.1.1

update;

24 hours later

I have the same problem, has anyone got any response from Apple yet??

guys i m yet too update my i phone 4s which is working well... wads ur take on it should i update ?????

If you're not going to wait for 5.1.2, what do you plan on doing to fix this problem?

It depends on how you use your phone. My girlfriend's phone is fine after the update, but she never docks it. It seems the docking, and undocking is causing the issue.

I recently switched from Android to the 4S, and I must say I am questioning the switch now. I can't even use my iPhone to listen to music, so now I have to bring an extra ipod just so I have something to listen to when I ride the train every day! It would be one thing if Apple released a statement, or SOMETHING addressing this issue, but their silence is truly disheartening. I'm very much considering selling my 4s and getting a Nexus.

My problems:

Audio playback stops in the middle of a song (have to plug headphones back in)

Volume control doesn't work (just shows 'Ringer')

Sounds (games, keyboard clicks, etc) come through speaker at times, stop without warning

I've tried every fix imaginable short of a complete erase and restore. Heres hoping if we post enough about it SOMEONE at Apple will hear us!

I can't imagine waiting until potentially late summer just to listen to music on my iPhone.

One other thing I think everyone here should consider, it is possible to downgrade to 5.1 if your iPhone is jailbroken...

I still having problems.. Apple doesn't response on the feedback form. So i think i'll go to the apple store in my hometown and send my iphone for reparation....

And everyone is talking about docking. But i don't have a docking station.. I'll only use the earplugs and the charging cable....

Not long had my 4s just downloaded 5.1.1 and have lost all sound! :-( anyone had any response?

I don't think this problem has anything to do with the docking or udocking . This is just on the few unlucky few phones. Mine is iPhone 4 and is affected but hubby's 4s is not affected after the update. They need to respond to people though. Too many to ignore this now..Agrrrrr

Try resetting your settings from Settings-->General-->Reset-->Reset All Settings. This doesn't do anything to your apps really or to your phone data. But this seemed to have fixed the audio problem on my wife's 4S which had the exact same volume bar/buttons symptoms you describe. I just had to reset the location services and the wifi password. It still seems to have weird random issues with the side buttons not controlling the ringer volume, but if she goes to a video or plays a song and then back to home, those work again also. Way to go Microsoft...err I mean Apple.

Ah it's been so long since I had a glimmer of hope. Sad to say I just finished resetting all of my settings but still no sound and the fake dock volume selector. Happy the reset all thing worked for you but no improvement on my device. This is brutal. Does apple even read this site. I have sent multiple messages to the feedback site with no reply. Don't know how much longer I will tolerate this problem before I go buy a galaxy

Hi,

I have a similiar problem:

My iPhone 4S 32 GB (black) worked flawlessly until I updated to iOS 5.1.1. Since the update to iOS 5.1.1 the iPhone sometimes automatically reduces the volume right after unlocking the screen.

When the problem occurs the volume sign is seen on the screen (with only one square/lowest volume) and it does not disappear until I press one of the volume buttons.

Also the problem sometimes occurs when playing a movie or listening to music and adjusting the volume using the volume slider on the screen. For example I increase the volume and immediately the volume slider is set back to the previous state. I have to reset the volume using the slider several times until it stays where it should stay.

Seems like iOS 5.1.1 has some volume problems, right?! 😮
