Q: My volume won't work on iPhone 4s?

Today I tried listening to music on my iPhone 4S, only to find that my volume adjuster had disappeared. And just to clarify, when I say that it disappeared, I mean that when I press the volume buttons on my phone, I see the speaker icon but the gauge bar is gone. I tried to test if this issue was only happening in one place, by checking out if I could adjust my volume through my YouTube app. Unforuntately, the volume slider has disappeared from the app as well.

 

I tested my alarms, etc. and the problem is not my speakers -- my phone is still fully functional in this regard.

 

I can't figure out what I did to cause this change, but I would love any advice you have on how to fix my phone. If it makes any difference, I have already tried restarting it several times.

 

And remember, the speakers work fine. I got them to play for a couple

Seconds. It's just the volume won't show up. And it doesn't say "headphones"

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

A:

This sounds like the same problem as a few of us are having. We are getting a stonewall from Apple at the moment.

Just oncase anyone thinks I'm being anti-Apple millitant. I'm honestly a huge fan of the products. I have been working with them for 17 years now and this is the first time that i have felt the need to be disappointed by them.

    Works great, thanks for the tip, i also used a pin to clean out the really hard to reach little corners, a magnifying glass & light also helps...

    Make sure your ringer switch on the side of the 4s is turned to the on or ring position. In the off position, you can't adjust volume in the music app.

    I have a iPhone 5c and I've had it for maybe 2 years or now maybe and every problem I've had I've been able to fix, I'm good with technolog, today for some reason my sound was making a weird noice, it was doing it with everything, and the Internet gave me ideas on how to fix it but i have a mind of my own so I tried something that i thought of and it fixed it apparently as far as I know. If y'all are having the same problem that I had don't spend your money or your parents money on trying to fix it just yet, don't freak out just text. Follow these steps: turn your ringer on. now facetime your phone from another device. I facetimed my phone from my iPad and after that i plugged in my head phones to see if it was working and it was. If your headphones have a kink or a wire sticking out don't use them, they can damage your phone, just like a messed up charger can. Don't blast your sound too much. Hope this helped.
