Iphone 5 keeps switching to silent on its own

My Iphone 5 is stuck on silent mode, or more accurately it keeps switching to silent on its own.
The problem started about 2 days ago, after upgrading to iOS 7.1 last week. The phone keeps switching in and out of silent mode (without the button being touched) and mostly stays in silent. It's not a speaker problem, nor a settings problem, as I’ve checked every bit of online advice I could find. I tried restarting, resetting, restoring, cleaning the headphone jack, and nothing helps.
An attempt to see if it’s a headphone related issue (by plugging and unplugging while restarting in various combinations) got it working fine for about 5 minutes, then it switched back to silent.
Needless to say, the phone did not suffer from any physical damage prior to the problem.

I have the identical problem, and it started when I upgraded as well.
Trips to the AT&T store, and to Apple twice have not been able to solve. (Other than telling me for $300 they would replace it since my phone is 6 months past the 1 year warranty) All the resetting, wiping, even restoring to factory defaults using iTunes from the computer have failed. I finally had a tech open it and look at it, and it's pristine.
I've suspected software since the problem started occurring, because it is so random, and the fact that the speaker, mic, headphone, etc... all work fine.
Just while it's sitting on the desk, it will jump back and forth from silent to ring mode, but mostly stays in silent.
I'm convinced this is a bug

HT1933 My iPhone keeps deleting my notes on its own!

My iPhone keeps deleting my notes on its own.

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

IPhone keeps playing and pausing on its own unless its locked!?

Hello everyone.
I have had a host of problems with my iPhone since I got it, but this is just one I can't ignore any longer. It just starts playing music, randomly, without prompt or instruction. Then it pauses from time to time. If I'm playing music without the phone being locked, it frequently pauses for a time, then starts again randomly.
Has anyone else experienced this problem before? Any suggestions?
The second problem, and this is one I've literally just started experiencing, is that it keeps fast-forwarding/skipping THROUGH songs - I don't mean jumping from one song to the next, but actually jumping about twenty seconds or so through the song, for a bout a second, then continuing to so until the song is over. Has anyone else experienced this? I'd like to think it's bad files, but this isn't the case - songs I've bought off iTunes are doing it as well, for no good reason. And this began minutes after I had just backed-up and restored and updated my phone. I'm clueless! And frustrated...
Please somebody help!

is this happening while you have the headphones plugged in? if so, you have either a bad set of headphones or a bad headset jack. the headphones can be replaced at the apple store or through the web (sorry, but i can't find the link i used to do it a few months ago). a bad headset jack probably has to be fixed by replacing the phone at an apple store. you might be able to do the headset replacement by calling apple.

My iphone keeps re springing (rebooting) on its own.What do i do?

I started doing that yesterday, i updated to 4.3.5. then it works fine. When i add the backups from iTunes, it goes back to the same problem. even from backup's as old as June when i updated to 4.3.3... I need my photos and phone numbers, what do I do?

If you use a case for you iPhone make sure it's not interferring with the volume up and down buttons.

When I switch back to an ongoing application, from the switcher, it reverts to its own 'homepage' rather than the stay at the state/stage I left it at. How can I force applications to maintain the current state?

iPhone 4S with the latest updates 8.1.3 (12B466) installed.

I am in the process of getting enough screenshots to demonstrate further.

ITunes switched to Chinese on its own

My iTunes switched to Chinese on its own and I do not know how to switch it back. I tried going to my macbook's system preferences, but my language is already set to English. I've restarted both iTunes and my computer and nothing has worked!

OK, let us know if that takes care of the problem. Also if you are in the habit of turning off your compute when you're done with it for the day please read your owner's manual again. It isn't necessary to turn it off, on page 15 of the current models it says;
Putting Your iMac to Sleep
If you‘ll be away from your iMac for less than a few days, put it to sleep. When your iMac is in sleep, its screen is dark. You can quickly wake your iMac and bypass the startup process.
I (and many others) are in the habit of leaving their machines on 24/7. I let mine sleep when not being used, it been doing this for about 4 years and has been 100% reliable. Just a thought!

Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
If this does not work, you should get it serviced:

How to back up your data and set up as a new device

I have a new MacBook Pro. I am using firefox, but my homepage is set to google. Firefox constantly keeps opening new tabs to its own homepage by itself. How can I disable this feature?

Hi [email protected]
If you have set Google to be your homepage, that should be the first one to appear. Are you seeing the Firefox home page when you open new tabs? New tabs should be blank by default. The only reason I've seen Firefox open new tabs with Firefox data on it is after an upgrade of the product.

My passport 1Tb hardrive keeps trying to quit on its own?

My passsport 1Tb portable hardrive keeps trying to quit on its own? While I am and when I am not using it?

Either get a self-powered drive or buy a ($30) powered USB hub to plug the external drive into. This hub draws power from the wall instead of the Mac.
I once replaced a 250W power supply on a tower system for a friend with a 500W. Suddenly all of the 2 USB pprinters and 2 USB external disks and keyboard and mouse and camera suddenly worked.
You cannot replace your MBP power supply but can provide external power to USB devices.
