Volume down button doesn't work on iPhone 5

whats so great about buying a product that you have to maniuplate in order to have it work properly? Shouldnt you expect your product to function as advertised? Its not like these phones are cheap.

Yes!!! It's worked just like you said...thank a lot...

ABsolutely works! Button up, button down alternating and walla!!

Thanks so much, your trick actually worked for me!

Did you guys keep your phone in the right butt pocket? Because I did and the problem happened to me too. Thanks for the trick!

You are a genius. It works now!

Thanks a million! I was just about to head to the Apple Store for a swap out. You saved me the headache of a wipe and restore :)

Hi iNeedHelp.

Turning assistive touch on, pressing the volume down button then turning AT off worked for me. Thanks for that!

EDIT- Just realised that this is an iPhone 5 thread, and mine is a 4s.

Wow. I also had the same issue and pressing the right corner back worked for me too. Thanks for the trick

I'm having the same issue, so I solved it by hit the up right corner on the face side of my iphone three times by my hand and the button work again 🙂

Lower (-) button does not work. Raising (+) button does but lower does not. Software is current and I don't have other devices. Any ideas other than resetting everything?

Did you get your phone back, Thrifty One? Did they manage to fix the Volume Down button as well when they swap the Sleep/Wake button?

Thank you very much, this is very helpful. I will try to do it this weekend or next depending on the time slot they have available to book on their website.

I was able to correct this issue on my wife's iPhone 5 by pushing the down volume button in and twisting it back and forth slightly. I assume it is a connector or alignment issue.

I have been having the same problem volume down button on. Tapping the corner seems to help for a couple of days and then the problem resurfaces. Is there a long term solution for this?
