iOS 9 Volume Indicator with Smart Cover bug

Just putting this out there for those searching for the same issue...

There is currently a bug in iOS 9 that prevents the on-screen volume indicator from being displayed on-screen when the device is wakened from sleep using the Smart Cover/Smart Case. The volume buttons still do in fact adjust the volume as they should, but there is no on-screen volume indicator that shows the volume and it's adjustment level. The workaround is to sleep the device again, but waken it using the Sleep/Wake switch rather than the Smart Cover...or simply wake the device using the Sleep/Wake switch in the first place. This has been tested on two iPad mini 2's and an iPad Air 2.

Hi,

I've installed IOS 9.3.2 and problem is still actual.

This issue is very important for me, because I can't manage of my bluetooth sound devices without clear volume control.

Do developers plan to fix it in 9.4?

SIncerely,

Vitaly

9.3.3 still has it, I guess Apple just doesn't give a **** about what customers have been reporting for close to a year now.

Just to be complete (at the sake of being redundant as well)...

The issue has not been resolved in iOS 9.3.5 either (not expecting it would be anyways).

Maybe iOS 10 will be the solution.😐

I have no idea since I have not updated. Maybe someone that has updated to iOS 10 can report their findings.
