IPhone 3GS volume button fell off? Which glue to use

Hi
My 3GS volume button fell off. It costs alot to fix it since they got to take it apart.
I was thinking of adding glue to put it back. Has anyone done this? Any good suggestions on which glue to use?
Thanks.

I would recommend an out of warranty repair or a 3rd party repair company and NOT glue.

  • IPhone 3GS Sleep button falling off

    Recently i went to press my sleep button and it was dodgy and didnt put my iphone to sleep and when i put my iphone down on my desk the sleep button fell off please can you help me what to do?

    The sleep/wake/power button is very important. If it "fell off" then you must have a crack or bad defect in the case in that area. Glue, such as Super Glue can work wonders if you know what you are doing. If you are not careful with such strong glue you can also do much worse damage to the iPhone. Until you get this repaired, or better yet buy a new phone, you can use Assistive Touch for perfect Virtual Button. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap the new small white screen button > Device > Lock. You can even use this button to turn the iPhone OFF. To turn the iPhone ON, connect to power ie, charger or USB of computer.

  • IPhone 3GS volume button stuck

    We have a 16 month old 8gb iPhone 3Gs and the rocker volume switch is behaving as though you have your finger firmly on 'down'
    The screen is displaying the ringer icon pretty much permanently. With a lot of fiddling and patience you can eventually get it to stop but it is extremely annoying.
    We have updated the software and done resets but it constantly lowers the volume.
    Any advice please?

    Replacement part is Headphone Jack Flex Cable #5, a $5-$10 part. One of most difficult iPhone repairs there is. Before opening and during any repair of iPhone 3GS make sure iPhone is OFF.

  • My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

    Hello,
    Can anyone please help me my Iphone 3Gs turns its self off when i go on to the internet, especially when i go on to google. When i am on the internet browsing my phone screen just goes blank then i need to turn my phone back on.
    This happens all the time and it gets so bad that the internet doesn't turn on and turns its self straight off.
    Thanks

    You need to go through the basic troubleshooting steps as described in the User Guide:
    Restart phone
    Reset phone (press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    Restore phone in iTunes using a backup.
    Restore in iTunes as a new iPhone, without using a backup.
    BTW, are you really still using long obsolete iOS 3.0 as your profile states?
    Is your phone jb or hacked? In that case, SOL.

  • N97 unlock button fell off

    guys today my n97 unlock button fell off ...i did google search and found out thats a common manufacturing defect in n97 ...so please can anyone tell me any solution for this thing...this phone is really getting on my nerve now..

    Same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago (phone around 5 months old), sent in the phone for repair via my service provider and was advised that the repair failed there quality check and they gave me a new handset
    Therefore if its still under warranty i recommend you get it repaired as it should be done for free.

  • Camera Button fell off

    Received my Droid X 5th Aug.  Yesterday I started to take a picture and noticed the snap button missing. Now I have a choice pay $90 to receive another phone or not use my camera. AND if I send my phone in for replacement and it is decided the missing button is physical damage I will be charged $600. Im glad it was not the power button that fell off!!!!!
    Can any one tell me where I can purchase a snap on button for the droid x (3week old) that does not cost $90-$600 dollars!!!!

    Yes it does have the shutter button on screen.
    As for the rep at the store, it sounds highly suspect that they would not take to time to look at the phone if you made a trip up to the store.  If they did not look at it I would have insisted that they do so, or speak to a manager.
    Maybe the button fell off, maybe you dropped the phone and it popped off, we will never know for certain.  This is a case that should be settled in person at a corporate store.
    As for threatening to take your business elsewhere because of this, good luck.  Sprint calls bad phone updates physical damage, T-Mobile has crap coverage area and won't stand behind their products, AT&T just sucks in general.

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>
    About=>Carrier?

  • Re: iPhone 3GS I press on/off button

    Nephew gave me his "old" iphone 3GS.  I worked on organizing some of the settings, turned it off.  Couple of hours later I press on/off button; logo comes up, sits for a few minutes and then turns off/screen goes dark without going to "slide to unlock" screen.  It did this yesterday too.
    What am I doing wrong? How do I turn on my phone?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, that sort of worked except the screen flashes with a plug + lightening bolt.  When I turned it off the battery indicator was still at 75%.
    I'd appreciate any additional advice and insight you can spare.
    Thanks.

  • Iphone 3gs volume bar

    I have a 3GS. I am having problems with my volume bar, like on iPod or YouTube. When I try adjusting the volume, the little ball on the bar slides with my finger, but it bounces right back where it was before after I remove my finger. I did restore the phone, but it showed up after a day or so.I tryied to restore and set new iphone,same result. Anyone have this problem? Any advice?
    I cant go to apple service and i cant use any service , its complicated so please dont tell me to do so.
    its like this

    thanks

    I have the exact same problem! My iPhone 3gs is only 3 weeks old and has latest software but the volume bar is doing my head in. It's ok with the apple supplied headphones but with other headphones and small battery powered speakers the volume bar won't adjust properly.
    You can drag it with your finger but it bounces back to the approx same place when you let go? The buttons on the side do adjust the volume but the increase or decrease in volume per push/click seems larger than normal.
    The only way i've found to get the volume bar working again is to turn off and on the phone.
    Someone clever please tell me why it's doing this. :os

  • IPhone 3GS - volume controls working but actual volume stays the same

    Hi
    My iPhone 3GS has been exhibiting a strange phenomenon for the last couple of days. The volume in my heaphones is fixed. I can use the volume control buttons or the on screen slider just fine, they're responsive in terms of animation (the buttons show the increasing/decreasing number of white squares and the slider allows me to move the dot and the blue line extends accordingly), but the actual volume only changes when I'm using the speaker, but not when I'm using the headphones. The only actual volume control I have using the headphones is sliding the volume down to zero, which also produces a loud click in the headphones.
    The issue is system-wide and as such affects all apps, including Spotify, iPod, VLC, various games and other music/video apps.
    The headphones in question are brand new and work fine with other equipment. I've also tried with other headphones, with no change.
    Any help would be appreciated. And yes, I've restarted the phone. I've contemplated reset/restore, but I wanted to check if anyone knows of a less time-consuming solution.
    Thanks

    No, that's not it.
    The volume is not locked using the Volume limit, and even if it were, that wouldn't explain why it's fixed at one (rather loud) level. The volume limit function is just there to limit the upper bounds, not set it to a constant level.
    Thanks for your reply, though!
