HT4137 the volume on my iphone isnt working

the volume on my iphone isnt working, how do I fix it?

I had the same problem as well for nearly 3 months.
I had tried bring the Iphone into my phone carrier and they sent me to the AppleStore. When I brought it to them they hooked it up to the diagnostic machine and they told me just to restart the Iphone from the factory settings.
This didn't work either. To complicate things more, other "solutions" seem to only yield temporary success. These temporary solutions included: blowing compressed air into every port, various restart combinations, various factory restore methods.
I had nearly given up until I stumbled upon a support post on Apple's website that finally yielded success.

The solution for me is listed as line 7, which reads:
"Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris."
Apparently, this cylinder shaped, mesh area is in some way tied to what triggers the headphones/speaker selection. I am not sure how, but I can say that after gently brushing it out my sounds are working again; specifically my music is now able to play directly off the speakers and my Iphone apps all play their sounds agian.
Hope this helps you as well!

  • HT1688 Why won't the volume on my iPhone 5 go down when I press the bottom volume up only works?

    Why won't the volume on my iPhone 5 go down

    Hey cacobo,
    I found an article that can help with troubleshooting an iPhone's receiver or speakers.
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Hope that helps,
    David

  • My iPhone 5S is using 2.5GBs of storage for the camera roll.  I deleted all but 190 photos and this did not change.  My other devices cannot backup to iCloud due to the volume on my iPhone.  Any ideas?

    Try turning off the Camera Roll option in Settings>iCloud>Backup & Storage>Manage Storage>Your device. Then turn it back on again.

    The display on my iPhone only works vertically.  It will not change when I rotate my phone.

    Swipe up on the bottom of the screen to expose control center and see if the orientation lock is on (top row of controls, far right; looks like a lock with a circular arrow).
    Not all apps support orientation changes, BTW.

  • HT1688 Will the Maps on my Iphone 5 work in Ireland?

    Will the Maps on my iphone 5 work in Ireland?

    It depends on how you purchased it. Did you ask for an unlocked phone at the Apple store? Did you get the iPhone at a substantial savings? Did you sign a  two-year contract with AT&T. If you did get an unlocked phone, then no, it is isn't locked. If you answered yes to the others, then it is locked to AT&T. AT&T will only unlock the phone if you have completed your contract with them.

  • Is there a way to boost the volume on an IPhone 3G

    Is there a way to boost the volume on my IPhone 3GS?

    I'm guessing you mean a way, other than pressing the volume UP button on the headphones cable...   Also, are you saying that the maximum volume (using the volume button) is not loud enough?  If so...
    I don't have the 3G iPod shuffle, but there is probably a Limit Maximum Volume setting, and it may currently be set lower than you want.  With the iPod shuffle selected in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES), go to the Settings or Summary tab (over to the right).  See if there is control there for limiting the maximum volume on the shuffle.  If so, disable it or set it to the desired max loudness.  Apply the change.

  • The volume on imovie09 suddenly stopped working.  How can I fix the audio volume?

    The volume on imovie09 suddenly stopped working.  How can I fix the audio volume?
    I have no idea what triggered this.  Other projects work with volume.  But my current project will play the audio but no volume. HELP please.

    How exactly stopped working?  Three things to try
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Why do the apps on my iphone not work after i connect it to my iMac?

    Why do the apps on my Iphone stop working everytime I connect it to my IMac?

    There are a few things you can try.  The first is to simply reset the Shuffle as it may be the cause of the issue.
    Resetting iPod shuffle
    Otherwise, also make sure that the earbuds are plugged all the way in and that the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Shuffle.
    If possible, use another set of earbuds to see if they work okay. If they do, we know its the headset that is the problem and from there you'll need to take the necessary steps to replace them.
