IPhone 3GS silent switch, help?!

My iPhone 3GS silent switch seems to work fine. But when the iPhone is locked and you turn the switch from loud to silent, or the other way round, the screen doesn't wake up to tell you this has happened, whereas all the other iPhones that I've seen seem to wake up to tell you the setting has changed… don't know if there's something wrong with the phone internally or if this is a software problem. Thanks!

If I were you I would bring it into an Apple store and have them take a look at it.
Make sure you make a Genius appointment before you go in.

IPHONE 3GS SILENT SWITCH TOTALLY DEAD, NO SILENT FUNCTION???

My iPhone 3GS silent switch has been very tempermental recently, but as of last week, when I switch it onto silent, it does not do anything. No icon on the screen comes up, its just completely useless. Does anyone know what i could do to maybe bring it back? I dont want to take it apart as it could cause further problems... coule it be caused by dirt in the sliding area? I dont have any ideas. Any replies are very much appreciated!

IPhone 3GS silent switch doesn't silence the device

I recently dropped my iPhone 3GS from the desk in my bedroom. I checked to see if it worked fine, and it did. No scratches or nicks.
After that, I found that the Silent switch does not work. I flip it down and receive no notification that the phone is on silent, no on-screen & vibrate notification. So, I tested it by calling my phone from the home phone - and my iPhone 3GS rang and vibrated.
I checked the settings and I even did a reset. Should I do a full reset (Erase All Content and Settings option)?
Thanks much.

If the switch was damaged with the drop, doubtful that restoring your iPhone with iTunes will resolve the problem,
No need to to erase all content and settings with the iPhone since doing so will require syncing your iPhone with iTunes afterwards, and is a secure erase which will take an hour or two.
You can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup - sync your iPhone with iTunes immediately before to update your iPhone's backup and any data that is kept synchronized. If no change after that, the next option is restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.

IPhone 3GS silent switch very tight! What to do?

I need some advise!
I bought the 16gb black 3GS at full price (Factory 86 week 30)
and the screen had a ghosting effect (the kind you see on an older LCD screen with slow response times).
I swapped that out with a new one, which seems fine... So I applied the invisible shield! After letting it dry for two days I turn it on, all is well.... BUT the silent switch is really tight! I have to use a lot of force to switch it to silent and back!
What should I do? Exchange it again & lose the invisible shield? Or keep it and accept that nothing is perfect (it's better than being loose).
I would really appreciate some feedback here!

I had the same exact problem after installing the invisible shield and I think it's because some of the liquid from the invisible shield got in there. I just kept using it and to this day (3 weeks later) it's back to normal. just use it daily so it gets loose over time. Nothing to worry about

IPhone 3GS Silent Switch

I dropped my iPhone 3GS yesterday and the silent switch no longer works. I have had the iPhone for about 14 months now, so my warranty has expired. I don’t want to go paying ‘big money’ just for a silent switch.
Are there any apps out there which allow the mute on/off to be controlled?
Has anyone else had this issue? And fixed without apple support?
Really missing this function. Can anyone help???

No apps can do that. Google for iPhone repair in your area... there's likely one that can fix it.

IPhone 3Gs silent switch (Probable water damage)

Hi there,
After it spent about 20 minutes in a less-than-waterproof pocket during some heavy rain, I've been having problems with my iPhone. The silent switch seems to not work properly, I can turn it on to silent alright, and it'll happily stay there. But if I want to flick the switch back to "ring" mode, then the switch works fine, but it doesn't change mode. Sometimes I will see the bell show up on the screen, and it'll stay on ring mode for a few minutes, but then it'll put itself back onto silent mode. Also, if the switch isn't on silent mode then it will sometimes spend up to 10 minutes at a time constantly switching between silent and ring mode. As it vibrates each time it does this, it is getting annoying. Especially as it does this during the night if I forget to put it on silent, and this wakes me up!
I accept the fact that it was most likely the water damage that did this, but is there a way I can fix it? I've had friends who have put their iPhones through much worse treatment and they've come out of it alright. I have also tried doing a full factory reset, but this didn't help.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Hey debdip2,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad. The following resource may provide a solution:
iPad: Basic troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3274
If iPad won't turn on, or the display stops responding
Follow these steps, testing after each:
1. Turn the iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
2. Reset iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your issue persists after following the above steps, try to restore your iPad with iTunes. If you are unable to restore it, use recovery mode.
Thanks,
Matt M.

My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup. I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point.

Just read that someone had the same problem on 3gs and someone had replied to press the home button and power button at same time, so I tried this and within a few seconds my phone had switched itself back on.
