IOS (iPad App)...possible to detect mute switch? volume off?

Is it possible to detect if the user has turned mute switch on? Is it possible to detect the system volume to determine if it is all the way down?
We would like to display a dialog box telling the user they need to turn up the volume on iPad or turn off the mute switch.
Thanks,
MAT

Maybe jailbreak would allow a system level patch to disable the switch like I suggested.
That's a topic that cannot be discussed on these forums

The so called Apple factory refurbished units I assume to mean they do repair returned units at some point and resell them? Otherwise why call them refurbished - they are just brand new?
Apple does not repair them. The manufacturer, Foxconn, does so back at their facilities in China. Apple just ships them back, and receives factory refurbished service units from them. That is why they are called refurbished and not repaired - they are fully refurbished by the actual manufacturer. They all get new screens and new battery, regardless of age or condition, any other faults are repaired and they are fully tested and come with a minimum of a 90 day warranty.

HT201412 apple iphone 4 ringer does not respond, mute switch is off,no volume indication on screen. Tried hard restart and reconfigured via itunes, and nothing. Can hear ringtone via earphones. Have tried almost everything with no result. Any suggestions

Apple iphone 4 no ringer, mute switch is off, no volume indicator on screen. tried hard restart and reconfigured via itunes, have IOs 6.1.2, no jailbreak. Can hear ringer with earphone- Have tried almost everything, buit nothing happens. Any suggestions?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Just started up iPhone 4S and done something wrong, I have speaking on all buttons and apps, I would like to switch it off but the phone will not scroll?? Please I'm going mad!!

triple click the home button. Then you can go into accessability options in settings and turn off that feature

IPad 2 stuck in portrait, mute switch locks orientation and mutes at the same time.

Ok, since I've had the iPad this problem has gone from bad to worse. Originally my iPad would get stuck in an orientation for random period of time and then unfreeze. Hours or days I would never know. If it was in landscape and I needed it in portrait I could just reboot and it would revert to portrait but not the other way around. It's been struck for 3 or 4 days now in portrait and now a new bugmhas appeared. Setting the hardware button to mute works fine, but still the software orientation button is useless. Only now, if I switch then hardware button to orientation lock, it tells me I'm muted and I'm orientation locked at the same time. And the software button works for the mute now. Need help. Thanks.

In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same time?
Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.
Settings > General > Use Side Switch to: choose what you like the Side Switch to function as.

HT4085 My volume control indicates headphones not speaker. No sound from iPad. Have checked the mute button is off and button is set to operate lock rotation. Any suggestions?

The iPad sound is not working and the volume control shows headphones rather than speaker. Mute is off and I cannot see any reference to headphone/speaker settings or switch. Any suggestions ?

Most likely something is stuck in the headphone jack. Try to vacuum it out or CAREFULLY use a straightened paperclip to remove any dust or lint. You can also try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.

My iPhone 4s will not ring and the mute switch is off. Help?

I just got a new 4s for Christmas and the mute switch on the side is off (no orange is showing). I am not hearing any incoming calls, text, voicemail, or email alerts. It will play the ring tone when I select it and will play music. In settings / sounds menu if I have the silent off it does nothing when there is an incoming call or any other alert. If I have the Vibrate switch on in the silent section it will at least vibrate. I am doing some thing stupid? Please help!

Turns out it is hardware issue with the mute switch. It will be replaced but I have to drive 75 miles to the nearest apple store. Or they can ship it to me but put a hold on my credit card of $700.00 until they receive the old phone back.

Random iOS 7.0.2 crashes, usually when switching apps

I've been going crazy trying to solve this or understand it better, and Apple Support hasn't figured it out either. Every day or two, my iPad will suddenly restart in the middle of doing something; often (but not always), that involves switching apps. Either it happens when I swipe up to use the app switcher, or while I'm actually in the app switcher.
The crash logs have always references "Editor's Choice" and a little digging made it clear that it is related to the NY Times iPad app. First, I thought that turning off background refreshing for the NY Times app would fix it, but that didn't do it. The app was recently updated, but that didn't solve this either. So I'm stuck, hoping that the next iOS update might address this, or else I might just remove the NY Times app altogether and see if that helps. Anyone else having this issue?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

My iphone4 switches itself off and wont switch back on until its plugged into the mains

Hi there, can someone help me please!?
My iphone4 white had updated ios 4.3.3 and it randomly switches itself off, has anyone else had the same problem?
It just goes to black screen and I cant manually switch it back on, only when I connect it to the mains does it come back on.
What's also really strange is that once its reset from the mains it resets the date to 01/01/1970 and the time to 01:05?
Hopefully someone out there can help!? Mark

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?

Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?
I have experienced this on iPad 1 as well as iPad 2.
Basically, when you set the side switch to toggle screen orientation (or mute), after a period of use I will have either my sound cease to function or the ipad screen will not orient correctly. This depends on what i have chosen the side switch to toggle. I am not sure what causes it. The time it takes for the problem to appear is inconsistent. Some say it is caused by third party applications.
One can find numerous threads on here if you search for "sound on my ipad stopped working" or "orientation not working". It appears to be the same problem. Fudging with the toggle switch settings can fix it (but it takes a weird order to get it out of its non functioning loop).
Here is a thread that addresses the sound issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15263298#15263298

Its only for notifications.. it is not for sound from videos or music!

AIR 3 ios app not muted by iPhone physical mute switch

hey
my app keeps playing sounds even when the iPhone 3g's physical mute button is switched
is that a bug?
Saar

Hi Sariko:
You can achieve this by using native extensions.You can use the simple code given at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5560555/avaudiosession-category-not-working-as-document ation-dictates this will return bool value stating the state of the mute switch and then your app may decide to play sounds or stop them. You can google for Sample iOS native extensions to get started.
Little More Explaination:
The iOS gives the app an opprtunity to state the kind of Audio that is being played. (Music, Ambient Audio like game sounds and many more) and then based on this category iOS defines Audio Behaviours like if it can be mixed with other sounds, wheather mute switch is respected etc. This behaviour is very specific to iOS which may not be found on other Mobile Platforms(not sure though).

Many of us know Outlook mails can be stored using a PST Mail app to review the old mails when needed on an iPad. I am considering a switch to Mac OS. But I am wondering if the same is possible with the mbox files.

Many of us know Outlook mails (pst files) can be stored using a PST Mail app to review the old mails when needed on an iPad. I am considering a switch to Mac OS. But I am wondering if the same is possible. What would be the file format of the emails on a Mac OS and the app equivalent of the PST Mail app? Thanks for helping me out. Durai

Thanks for your response and yes I understand what you are saying. Maybe you could explain why "email users" hate HTML email with a passion.
These tend to be technical users who have a more purist attitude about email. They prefer that email be text-only, and consider HTML formatting to be superfluous for most messages. And I do think they have a point. If you have 100 plain-text emails and 100 HTML emails, you will notice that the HTML emails take up noticeably more disk space. And if the HTML email senders have loaded down their default emails with background images, signatures with corporate logos and winmail.dat attachments and all manner of embedded ornamentation, and (I never even thought people went this far) animations, then a simple email reply like "Thanks! I'll see you this evening," ends up carrying an tremendous additional amount of file size and network bandwidth overhead just to carry those six words. It not only means more disk space consumed, but it ripples all through the system: More space is required for backing up and archiving your emails, plus more mail server space and network bandwidth are consumed per message. Purists see this as an incredible waste of resources.
The message body of at text email can simply be "Thanks! I'll see you this evening."
The HTML version, at a bare minimum, must be
{html}
{p}"Thanks! I'll see you this evening."{/p}
{/html}
(replaced angle brackets with curly brackets so Apple Forums won't try and format it)
Already that's almost double the amount of characters required to send the message, just to format it in HTML. And that's if no fonts, styles, graphics, or media have been applied. If they are, the number of actual characters sent balloons dramatically.
I'm in the middle. I don't hate HTML email, I'll even turn it on when I think formatting will help my message. But I like to use disk space efficiently, so I've set plain text as my default for sending messages.

Building ios Newsstand App with AS3 for iPad?

Hi,
How do I build an IOS newsstand App with AS3 for iPad? I will not need any updates for this app. It will be just a pdf magazine inside, same contents forever.
I cant find any tutorials/introduction on how to build this.
I get the idea on how to create normal ios App, but creating Newsstand App really confussed me.
Hope I can get a good start here
Help is appreciated!

Sorry I've been busy.
Have a look at this newsstand app tutorial that's in 2 parts. This is for native iOS however the packaging is the most important.
http://www.viggiosoft.com/blog/blog/2011/10/17/ios-newsstand-tutorial/
http://www.viggiosoft.com/blog/blog/2011/10/29/at-newsstand-and-subscriptions/
The in-app subscription is something you're going to have to tackle. Are you selling this magazine on a subscription basis? If you are selling it, things can get tricky or possible. I'm not fluent on the latest in-app purchase integration or if there is any planned integration. A look on the ANE download page (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air.html) doesn't show any ANE support for it. You could google around for an ANE that supports in-app subscriptions of course.
Hope that helps.
Please be sure to read the entire 2 articles listed above. I realize they do not strictly have to do with Adobe but they do outline the process of getting an app on newsstand and it's just up to us as developers to translate tutorials like that into our world.
