IPhone 3GS Audio Volume Decrease After iOS 5 Update

The Audio/Volume on my iPhone 3GS has Decrease SIGNIFICANTLY After iOS 5 Update. Oddly, the volume of the ring is fine, and as lout as it used to be, and as loud as all other audio should be, but when using any 3rd party applications, the volume output is significantly less (about 40% less) than it used to be.
I am NOT the only person to experience this problem. Apparently, the issue has been around since this past summer, when iOS was still being developed / tested. There is a post about someone experiencing the same issue, here:
http://modmyi.com/forums/general-iphone-chat/768919-ios-5-low-volume.html
And before you ask .. I did a language change and reset, and I am still experiencing the SAME issue.
Any help or advice with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
In advance, thank you.

I have a similar or related problem with iOS5/3GS and volume:

In my case I can hear nothing from the internal speakers although I can use headphones. The volume slider bar is unavailable unless I plug in headphones.

Iphone 3GS calls keep crashing after ios5 update

As title really! After updating to ios5 last weekend my iphone 3gs keeps cutting out mid call and going to the black screen with the silver apple logo. It then restarts ok. Not got issues with any apps, just the calls. Is there any cure? Thanks.

?iphone 4 wont turn on after ios update

Hi folks, I updated my iphone 4 with the ios5 or 6 update, and when it powercycled it would not turn back on.
when I try to turn it on, i get the standard apple icon, then a usb symbol will appear with an arrow above it, and the i tunes symbol above that.
Its obviously telling me to connect to itunes, but when i do, the device registers, but only prompts me to reset the phone. After doing that, same prob...HELP

If connecting in recovery mode, as explained in this article did not help to restore the phone again, you'll have to get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place or by contacting Apple Support.

IPhone 3GS can't connect after software update

My iPhone 3GS can't connect to my M1424WR anymore after I updated my iPhone software. Apple suggested I update my router software - any tips?

Try use "forget this network" then re enter the wep/wpa key (network password) this happens sometimes with my iTouch.
Other than that, there is no reason the iPhone cannot connect. =/

IPhone 3GS will not activate after IOS5 update it says there is no SIM

I tried updating my iPhone 3GS to IOS5 and it is saying the activation server is temporarily unavailable and then iTunes says there is no SIM but there is.

Here's what you do
1.Make sure your phone is not plugged into the computer.
2. Put the iPhone into recovery mode (this is NOT DFU mode). Do this by
     a). Hold down both the power/sleep button and the home button until the screen turns black/off
     b). As soon as this happens release the power button but NOT the home button
     c). If done correctly then the Apple logo will appear, KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON and eventually a connect to itunes graphic will appear. You can release the home button
3. With the connect to itunes graphic on the screen, plug your phone into the computer. iTunes will start up if it is not already on, and then will say the phone needs restoring. Ignore this and COMPLETELY quit iTunes.
4. With iTunes off and the graphic still on the phone screen, hold down both the power/sleep and the home button again for 9 seconds (count 100, 200, 300...) or until the screen goes black
5. When the screen goes black release the home button straight away.
6. It will start up with the iPhone activation screen ignore this. iTunes should have started up, if not do so. Go to the iPhone tab and either resotre from backup or set up as a new phone.
You're welcome

IPhone system wide audio volume issues after iOS 5 update...

I have an iPhone 4 (CDMA) that I updated to iOS 5 on launch day. I didn't notice it at first, and maybe it's just my imagination, but the volume of everything on the phone seems to have gotten a bit lower. Not only music, but also all ringtones, SMS tones... everything. I checked to make sure all the volume sliders are up; they are. I also made sure volume and accessibility settings are set appropriately; they are as well. I'm stumped on this and unfortunately I don't have another iPhone running iOS 4 to test this with. I have searched the forums here and on Google to no avail; it seems that either people haven't begun posting about this yet, or it's not a problem with most users. Is anyone else noticing this and if so, is there a workaround?

Hey there,
Thanks for the tip. I tried it, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. I noticed a glitch a few days ago - when I unlocked my phone and went to listen to some music (through an ihome), there was barely any sound. I touched the volume slider (which was already at max volume) and it shot back up to normal. I still think that ringtones/smstones are softer than iOS 4 though.

IPhone 3GS Will not boot after iOS 4.3 Update....

I updated my wife's 3GS last night and when it was done it rebooted and started filling up the line under the apple logo like it always does after the software is loaded but after the bar fills up, the phone locks up and does not go past the apple logo with a full bar under it. - iTunes also locks up when you connect the phone. I've tried to restore it but it does the same thing.... any ideas?

You're further than I am!! Mine's frozen on the apple with an empty progress bar. And absolutely nothing seems to be working. I've tried taking the SIM card out, tried restoring to previous system, but Itunes won't recognise the phone. It's absolutely doing my head in and I'm going out of town in the morning and really don't fancy being without my phone!

Iphone 4s wouldn't start after ios update

I just updated my ios to 5.1. download completed, phone restarted, etc. All looked ok and i have got to the screen when it said that YOU CAN START USING YOUR IPHONE. when i click on the button it restarts and goes back to the same CONFIGURE menu. anyone faced the same problem?

Hello - I have the similiar problem with my wifes iPhone 4s. It sucessfully installed the ios 5.1 however on restart it came up with the grey iphone setup screen. Once you enable location services, select your wifi network it prompts you saying that your iphone is ready to use (CLICK TO USE YOUR IPHONE).
Almost immediately after that, the screen flashes the home screen then it restarts itself back to the setup menu. I cannot get past this menu.
I have tried-
1. Restoring the phone to new
2. Restoring from a backup
3. Hard and soft resets
None of the above have fixed the issue. I have a genius bar appt with apple today to see what the problem is and if the phone is now a dud because of this new ios 5.1 update. REALLY FRUSTRATING!
Please let me know if there are other forums or folks having the same or similiar issue and what is being done to fix the problem.
Thanks-

IPhone 4 downloading old mail after iOS update

I have the mail app set up to download my comcast email. I have it set not to delete messages from the server because I still want them to download into outlook on my home computer. I have had it set up this way since the original iPhone and never had a problem. Now after installing the new iOS, it is downloading all my old emails over again. How do I make it stop doing this? I have not changed any settings. I only installed the new iOS that came out when 4s was released.

The phone will still download the most recent emails from the server. The number of recent emails it will download is in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Show [50 or 100 or 200] Recent Messages.

Hello AlexCornejo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode. Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
Take care,
Alex H.

Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.
