IPhone 4S volume control not working!

Come on folks. You know this is software bug - it's obvious !! How about a fix !!

Since I went on holiday and used an ipod dock I have started getting these problems. I thought that cleaning it would help - which it did for a couple of hours. I tried all of the suggestions on the internet and thought that my only solution was to get my iphone 4s charging port replaced. Got it changed today thinking that it must be the port that is the problem. It has been fine most of the day and literally late tonight it has gone back to the same problem. No volume bar! Speakers are working fine - it just doesn't let the sound play from my music.

Since so many people are having this problem - it has to be something to do with software/updates. My phone is 2 years old but there are plenty of people with new phones with the same issue! Im thinking about going to the genuis bar and asking for more advice. I'm not in the position to buy a brand new phone - especially when my phone has been well looked after and had no problems before. 😟

Apple need to realise so many people are having the same issue!!!!

Recommend that before any mechanical measures are tried you all try shutting down all apps that may be running in the background. Double click the home button to see what's active, slide them all off to the side with a touch-and-drag, and try our audio settings again with any app that uses audio control. I found that some apps bogart the audio controls and will block you from using them with your hardware controls even, until you positively shut them down as above. Be aware that just putting the phone to sleep with the "off" button does not turn off apps, nor does one touch of the home button to switch to the home screen.

Hi

Thanks for the tips!

After reading this thread, I tried putting sticky-tape around a blunt knife blade and wiggled that in the USB/charging port. A significant ball of fluff came out, and the volume works again 🙂

I thought my volume had gone due to the headphone jack. After dropping the phone in water, I'd previously sorted the sound out using a cotton-bud down the headphone jack, but that wasn't working this time.

If that hadn't have worked, I guess I'd have replaced the charging dock as suggested.

Cheers

cleaned the charging port with a simple needle, a lot of dirt came out, it's clean now but the sound still doesn't work

That worked for me. Big Thanks!

Hi;

I too had the same problem and i tried to clean almost all the methods but none of them worked. I just used small needle and cleaned the each of the charging pin( its about 30 pins). It is working ok.

i was about to throw my iphone away thank you for your input i sprayed the charging port with electrical cleaner worked great thanks

It came again with the same problem and i changed the Sim card and its works fine.

It says to clean the charging port. I did clean it and it works now! I couldn't believe that cleaning fixed my sound problem.

I think it has to do with the update because I got the same update too and it stopped working after that

I just 2 days ago had a new battery & charging port put in my iPhone 4s yesterday it was fine today I have no volume on anything. It won't even ping when I plug it up to charge it.
