Hi everyone,
Have quite an odd case here, I have looked through this entire thread and it looks like it is quite a unique situation.
My speakers do not work (that is not the unusual part). When I open my music app on my Iphone 4s, it does not have an option to change the volume. It is as if my phone thinks it is plugged into a dock, where the volume is controlled by a seperate entity.
I plug my phone into my car via AUX cable usually, until this situation happened. (I do not get sound from headphones either). I was forced to plug in my phone via usb into my stereo, when I half take out the USB connector from the bottom of my phone, music will play out of the speakers perfectly. It will also work for some time after unplugging, then it dies, and I cannot use my speakers again until I re-plug my phone back into a dock/my car (USB charger does not work).
Has anyone ever had a problem like this before? Or any ideas how to fix. I tried cleaning the headphone port as suggested multiple times but with no success... As I previously mentioned, it is as if my phone thinks there is something half stuck in the usb connector which only resembles a dock at odd points during the day... It just doesn't make sense!
I have tried plugging it into a dock and disconnecting it multiple times, still no luck I also tried all the resets known to man! I have done too many resets.... I cannot change the volume settings either. If I press the volume up or down buttons on the side of the phone, nothing happens on screen (I get no volume level image). I tried setting an alarm and the speaker works fine for alarms, I can adjust the volume by pressing the volume controls on the side, but I still do not get any volume level image pop up on my screen...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
