Earphones' button not working, iPhone 4.

So,
I've recently upgraded to iPhone 4 from my old iPhone 3G
And I found pretty quickly that the earphones' button does not function at all.
I mean, the button you use to answer calls or control the music doesn't do neither.
The problem is not in my earphones, they are still working on a 3GIi tried
also I tried 2 pairs - one are apple's the second are skullcandy's both worked fine before.
Now, I thought i got a defective device so I tried the earphones on my brother's iPhone 4 and it didn't work there either.
Is that a coincidence or did apple stop supporting 'in-line' control buttons??
Thanks

The only advice we can give is buy a phone in the country  you want to use it in, it's hardly a secret if you do a little research that the iphone does not have an international warranty.  I thought they sold them in India now?

  • Earphone buttons not working on iphone but work perfectly well on mac

    Hi,
    As of a couple of days the buttons on the earphones that came along with my iphone have stopped working with the phone. That is, I cant raise or lower the volume using the buttons when I listen to music, nor can I play/pause songs or answer calls using the button in the middle. The sound from the earphones works perfectly well (that is, I can listen to music), and so does the mic (I can talk to people using the earphones).
    Just now though, I used the earphones with my macbook and the buttons suddenly work. So is the fault with my phone? Is there anything I can do?

    Hear, hear!
    That earphone jack attracts more lint that a bellybutton. I just cleaned mine out (the earphone jack) and remote functionality returned like a dream!

  • Power button not working iphone 4s

    My iphone 4s running on 6.1.3 power button is not working has not been dropped or in water. Can someone help me fix this?

    All I could find was this
    Buttons and Switches
    Sleep/Wake button will not lock or unlock iPhone
    To lock the phone, press the Sleep/Wake button. Note: By default, if you don't touch the screen for a minute, iPhone locks automatically.
    To unlock iPhone, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the slider.
    If either of the above steps don't work, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    If the iPhone will not power off, reset it.
    Try to lock or unlock the phone.
    Not sure whether it really helps you but I mention it for what it is worth

  • Standby button not working iPhone 5

    I've had my iPhone 5 since Oct 2012. I never purchased AppleCare. My sleep/standby button stopped working in July. Will Apple replace my iPhone or fix the button?

    Apple doesn't fix phones; Apple replaces them.  As yours is under warranty, your phone will be replaced free of charge.

  • Buttons not working Iphone 3G

    My sleep button and volume buttons have stopped working i have done a full restore has anybody got an answer to this??

    Both those functions are on the same flex cable, the Headphone Jack Flex Cable #5. Possibly just the #5 cable connector came loose from the Logic Board, and needs to be carefully pressed back down into place. If the cable needs to be replaced, it costs about $10, but the repair is considered one of the difficult of all iPhone repairs.

  • Lock button not working, iphone 4s

    Two weeks ago I was going to turn my iphone on and I normaly pressed to lock button, then suddenly it got stuck! I am going to send it in to apple for be repaired but since my iphone is 1-2 years old i've decided to get a new one. Is it possible to get a part of my new iphone (5s) covered by apple? Sorry my english, and thanks for help.

    Apple will not repair this problem, they will offer replacement iPhone 4S for $199, it will be exact perfect iPhone just like yours same color, GB everything. If you want to try Virtual Lock Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new screen white button > tap Device > Lock. This can be used to turn OFF iPhone. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, ie charger or USB of computer.

  • Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

    Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
    Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

  • Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

  • Iphone 4 home button not working, called never fixed, then cracked screen before bringing it back again, will they blame the cracked screen if i bring it back?

    I bought an iPhone 4 less than a year ago, then one day the home button randomly stopped working, I bought the warranty so I decided to call in and see what was wrong with it. The girl said that restoring the phone would correct the problem which it did. But it is only a temporary fix, it happens more often now. So I was meaning to call in soon, but the other day my phone fell out of my pocket IN CASE from a foot height and cracked the screen. I nearly threw up. All the years I have had a phone I have never cracked or broken one, strongest screen my ***. Anyway, if I contact them again now will they fix the home button problem? or will they say that the cracked screen is obviously the cause of the home button not working? which it is not!! I don't care about the screen being cracked its not on the actual screen just on the side so its irrelevant to me. Plus I heard it is outrageosly pricey to replace.

  • Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.1

    I've just upgrade my iphone 4 to OS 4.3.1 and I'm having issues with home button not working. Need to hit it several times before I can close an app or wake the iphone. Any one having this issue?

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1

  • Iphone 4 volume buttons not working

    iphone 4 volume and mute buttons not working, checked all settings they are all fine and when headphones in it works??? When I take out headphones the volum buttons do not work, when phone rings or text receives only vibrates???? HELP!!!!

    This could be due to some debris or dirt inside the  headphones jack that makes the iPhone think that the headphones are connected even when they are not.
    Try to see if you can clean the jack being very careful, with canned air as sold in electronics store.  Some people have been successful by introducing and withdrawing the headphones jack several times in a row to displace whatever is in there if it is lodged in.
    Avoid introducing anything else like a pointed object.  You could damage the jack.
    If all of this does not work, I would try first resetting the phone by holding the home button and the power button together for about 15 seconds or until the whilte apple appears, then waiting until the phone resets.  If the problem continues after this, take it to an Apple Store to see what they believe should be done.

  • TS3694 No sound and ringer button not working. I cannot play music but when I put my Iphone 4 on the dock it plays music. This happens when I updated my phone to IOS 6.1.3..The phone doesnt have any carriers we only used this just like Itouch. Please help

    Please help. Since I updated my Iphone4 to ISO 6.1.3...The ringer button not working, can't play any music (but ok with the dock), headphone sound is muffled. What can I do? I tried restoring and downgrading but it won't let me.

    Hi there,
    Thanks for reaching out to the community.
    Please help. Since I updated my Iphone4 to ISO 6.1.3...The ringer button not working, can't play any music (but ok with the dock), headphone sound is muffled. What can I do? I tried restoring and downgrading but it won't let me.
    It appears like you may have a hardware issue with your ringer button and internal speaker that came to light after the update. If you have already restored your iPhone back to factory settings using iTunes, you may need to have your phone serviced.
    Some potential good news... Check your headphone jack for lint. There may be enough to cause a muffled connection. You can try to blow it out with compressed air or very carefully pulling out any solid objects that may affect the connection.
    Best of luck!
