My iphone 4s volume button stopped working for me about three months ago. I have tried everything to fix it without luck. I stopped at my local wireless carrier, also an apple store, looked it up on you tube, and searched the whole web . I have had no luck with the problem. I decided to buy an antidust plug for the charger usb port. It came with a plug for the headphone also. I put the headphone plug in and instantly the volume control worked. Wish I tried this before all the updates and the resetting the phone factory resettings. Worth the 0.99 on ebay I spent. Hopefully this works for others.
