IOS 5.1.1. update bug (Volume Control)

Yeah, happened to me too...just gonna add on to the thread so it may perhaps cross Apple's minds...hopfully they will release some sort of fix because this is quite annoying...tried all methods to try and solve it but no results at all.

I have cleaned mine with a toothbrush without any luck maybe I need to use toothpaste on mine to work hahaha ..by the way I am in USA...I wwill find time to go to their store to see what they will tell me as I don't have any warrant left on mine...

One thing I thought of was the model number... My friend has an iPhone 4 like me and I updated both our phones at the same time. My phones volume on max is now equal to hers at around 40% on the slider (her phone was not affected with this 'bug'). That means this update has reduced my phones max volume by 60%.

The difference? Her model number is MC603B, mine is MC605B. Maybe everyone should check their model number and see if it's affecting certain ones.

I am having the same volume bar/volume problem since my update to 5.1.1. I just got this **** phone, where's the fix? I am sure Apple is aware of the problem by now.

Just adding my name to the pot.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1

Not sure how many days it's been but since cleaning the docking port with a soft toothbrush but I have had no volume issues since. I know others have posted no success after trying this fix. I hope I continue to be one of the lucky ones.

That said I wonder if we will se a fix before the 6.0 launch which is rumored to be soon

I have had the ipad 3 for a month now and I have the same volume problems. I have tried just about everything. In some cases sound does come back but its intermittent. At times I have waited for the Ipad to cool down. That seems to work but then while I am using spotify the sound goes out again. With the headphones on the sound works with no problems. Its the sound coming of the speakers where its having an issue. I hope apple fixes this soon. I am still under warranty so I will most likley take it to Genius bar.

Same my problem after update ios 5.1.1

iPhone 4S

Has anyone tried this link below? I have seen where this fixes this issue. I am tinking of trying it.

Yes this absolutely worked for me. iPhone 4 same problem as original after updating to 5.1.1. Did this trick and it works great. No problems so far

Tried that one, but you need to have a jailbroken device. It works perfect.But all my accesories are not working anymore like the VGA output, Camera connection kit and Djay SPIN controller...

I'm a technician doing jailbreaking, rooting phones.

Done restoring. downloaded ios 5.1.1 twice on different computers without jailbreaking, found out that the sound will not work if there are no accesories connected...

Conclusion: There are conflicts betwwen the sound and accessories. Its a bug on ios 5.1.1.

Read the last NOTE: Deleting the 'com.apple.iapd.plist' may effect the functioning of hardware accessories that go with various apps, such as FM transmitters and Nike accessories, etc.

I have the same exact problem. I didn't have this problem till just right now when I tried to listen to music on my phone. I hope their will be a quick fix because I'm going to be upset for a long time because I can't watch youtube videos, listen to music, or anything of that nature. Please fix ASAP

I ended up taking my iPad to genius bar showed them when I toggled the volume that it clearly showed the headphone volume even though no headphones were plugged in. They gave me a new iPad on the spot. No questions asked. I only had the iPad for 2 months and I bought it online.

Plugging charge port into dock from ac power about 5 times until I finally heard the charge sound seemed to do the trick for me.

"now gdgmacguy can you do us a favour and send an e-mail to the team in Cupertino and find out what stage they are at with a patch for this bug!"

No one here from apple, this is a users forum only, users trying to help others. If you want anything from Apple, you have to contact them directly.
