My boss is having the same problem with his iPhone. When I press the volume buttons on the side, the bell icon appears with the label "ringer" on top but no volume dots underneath. Pessing the buttons does not increase the volume as it should. Mute switch is functioning properly. When I mute the phone, the bell icon with no label appears with the slash through it. When I unmute, the bell icon with no label appears and the volume dots under the bell indicating how much volume. Still incoming text messages and emails only vibrate.

By the way razmee209, the link you provided does not provide any help with this issue.

Go to Settings>Sounds is the "Change with Buttons" option turned on ?

Check the mute switch on the side of your iPhone. If you see red there slide the switch to turn on the sounds.

Yes. Change with buttons is turned on.

How about Settings>General>Restrictions

Do you have restrictions turned on Especially "Allow Changes (volume limit)"

All restrictions are turned off.

Haveyou tried a Reset of your phone ?

Hold Sleep and Home buttons at the same time until Apple logo appears , then let go of both buttons

you will need to RESTORE your iphone after doing a reset all settings has failed
