IPhone 3 buttons Earphones stopped working

My iPhone's 3 buttons earphone suddenly stopped working. I tried to reset it by holding sleep and home button from a few seconds, but still nothing
I didn't drop my iPhone 3GS at all, and there's no cracks neither.
It's very disappointing because I use these buttons a lot and now I have to take my phone out of my pocket to activate VoiceControl or change music.
Do you have any solutions/advices for me to resolve that issue?
Thanks

OK. Called Apple Care. They were awesome. Sending replacement iphone thru Apple Care Advanced Replacement. Should arrive in one day.
Downside: Credit card charged 599.99 until old iphone is received by them.
Upside: Never without phone.
If did not do Advanced Replacement then would have had to wait for shipping box to arrive. Send defective iphone in for repair or replacement (5-7 business days) with that box. Then the repaired or replacement iphone would have been shipped back to me. So I would have been without phone for 7-10 days.
Anyway. I guess I'm OK with this. All in all, good service, at least, so far.

    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:

  • The ringer switch on side of iphone 4s has stopped working and is now turning itself from silent to ringer without me touching buttons. Will this be covered under warrent? I have had the phone less than 1 year.

    The ringer switch on the side of my Iphone 4S has stopped working and the phone is now turning itself on and off silent without me touching any buttons. Will this be covered under warrenty? I have had the phone for less than a year. Although I have had the screen replaced, and wondered if this may void the warrenty?

    Yes, the screen replacement (I am assuming by you our a 3rd party) voided your warranty.

  • My Lock button on my iphone 5 has stopped working, and I'm not sure what to do.

    My Lock button on my iphone 5 has stopped working, and I'm not sure what to do.

    This will be covered by the 1 year Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. Until then try Settings App > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn iPhone OFF. To turn ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

  • My iPhones home button has stopped working.

    My home button for my iphone 4 has stopped working, i didnt break it but i have been inside the phone, though I havent changed anything.
    Will Apple repair my iphone for free, or give me a new one for free?

    If you've opened your phone, your warranty is void.  Apple won't touch your phone.  Only option now is to find a 3rd party repair shop.

  • My iPhone 5 lock button has stopped working

    My iPhone 5 lock button has stopped working, it says on the website that certain models can be sent in to be replaced and that my serial number is one of these, but I am out of warranty and will not allow me to contact Apple without payng £25, is anyone else had the same issue as I don't want to pay out money to get something fixed that Apple have recognised to be faulty, and I don't live anywhere near an Apple Store

    Hi
    The £25 charge is a support charge for iPhones out of free support, you should not be charged for requesting support for a recall issue however if you can stretch to get to an Apple Store it is worth it resolving any issues face to face rather than email or phone is just easier.

  • My centre button has stopped working and my top lock button has stopped working too. I've had this iPhone 2 years now, can I take it into apple and swap for another phone or am I not covered? Thanks

    The standard Apple warranty is 1 year. I believe you can purchase AppleCare+, which extends the warranty to two years from the date of purchase. This extended warranty needs to be purchased within 30 days of the purchase date for the phone.
    If you have the extended warranty, you may be able to get a replacement phone at no cost. You will need to make an appointment at an Apple Store Genuis Bar and have them take a look at the phone.
    If you did not purchase the additional warranty coverage, you should be able to purchase an Out-of-Warranty replacement, which is $199 for the iPhone 4S.

  • The home button has stopped working on my iphone 5c. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode.

    Have an iphone 5c 8g. The home button has stopped working. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode and no evidence of damage.

    If you are playing in hockey arenas a lot or if you are bringing it into bathroom same time as shower it may not seem like much but overtime the steam can acquire and build up in the phones usb dock flex cable swell as the home button flex cable. Bring again into apple store and should be covered under warranty again. could also be a delay in a 8gb 5c software may just be very lag.

  • HT1430 I would like to reset the iphone but the sleep wake button has stopped working

    how to reset the phone without erasing my data when the sleep wake button has stopped working.  the phone is frozen

    "Why didn't iCare staff which is Apple's do something..."
    They did.  They told you what you should do to get the problem resolve.  Too, "iCare" is an AASP and provides service for Apple's products, but the staff is not employed by Apple.  It's not an "Apple Store".

  • My sound buttons keep stopping working and when I click onto a video it doesn't even have the little slider that you use to turn the volume up. What is wrong with my phone?

    My sound buttons on my iPhone 4S keep stopping working, even wen I use the switch to turn my phone on loud it comes up and as soon as I hit a volume button it disappears! Also when I am on a video on Facebook etc the volume slider isn't there?

    You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)

  • HT204266 Why did my lock button suddenly stop working?

    I just recently bought the Iphone 5. Its only been a couple of months and my lock button suddenly stopped working. My Iphone 5 isnt the only one that has done this, I know many other people whose phones have done the same thing. Does anyone know why they are doing this?

    Hey destinyw12,
    I'd take a look at the iPhone hardware troubleshooting article to see if you can resolve the issue with your Sleep/Wake button:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Specifically, you'll want to look into the section titled "Buttons and Switches" which will be applicable to your situation.
    Take care,
