iphone 5 no sound

take it back

It could be a software issue, but seems more like hardware to me.

The way i look at it is, its a brand new phone, and not a cheap one at that, do you really want to take the risk?? Is it not just safer to get it replaced??

You could try doing a clean install of iOS6, that should hopefully get rid of any software glitches.

lol all working days are long!!

Link your Iphone up to Itunes using whichever pc/mac you use to store your iTunes music.

Click your Iphone in the far left column of Itunes, then click "summary" in the main window, this should bring up a box saying "restore", click that and setup as new iphone! Please bear in mind this will install a clean copy of iOS6 however this means you will have tp out your data, music, pictures back onto your iPhone.

Hope that helps.

I have experianced the same problem with my iPhone 5 a couple of times now since Friday. I noticed when I unlocked the phone I got no sound from the slider and no sound when I typed in my passcode. I first thought I had the mute enabled, tried switching that off and on, still nothing, tried launching a game, still nothing. The only thing that seems to fix it is to power off the phone completely. When it boots back up it's working again. Therefore I'm pretty sure it's software related. I just hope Apple fixes it soon, kinda annoying when it happens.

Yep, same thing is happening to me. Brand new iPhone 5 and dozens of times every day I'll miss a text, alert or more importantly a phone call due to the fact that there was no sound coming from the phone. I tried resetting it a few times but still the same problem as fourcandles describes. I'm taking it to my local Apple Store and want it replaced immediately. Even if it's a software update issue that can be fixed, Apple is very good when it comes to replacing their devices and/or fixing the issue when your there. Apple better also start explaining the very poor battery life too. My iPhone 4S had much better battery life. Bad reviews are starting to pop up all over the net within the last few days.

I had exact same problem. Got iphone 5 16G on Sep 21, my sound disappeared at least 4 times with the only way to get it back was to power off. I use phone for alarm, I almost missed getting up for work due to no sound. Took back to apple store, none in stock, went to nearest Verizon purchaced an iphone 5 64G and returned the 16G to the apple store with no problems. I do hope this one doesn't have the same problem but I am leary....

I had the same problem. Came After using headset. Got Sound back this Way: Open podcast. Turn up volume here. It worked for me.

I had the same problem.

This fixed it.

It's a bug.

Go into podcasts and turn up the volume. Doesn't work in music for some reason.

It seems to be when I plug it into my aux on my car this triggers.

I'm on iOS 6.01 as well.

I'll install the dev version of 6.1 this weekend hopefully that fixes it.
