IPhone 4 silent switch crooked ( when partially moved ) and pretty easy to trigger

Hi. I just bought my new iPhone 4 black .. Right out of the box... My iPhone 4 had the silent switch a little bit "loose" I think..  When I partially "touch" with my nail.. The silent switch looks "crooked" .. And it goes back to its initial position .. When I do the same thing.  And I don't know if it's OCD.. But my silent switch it's PRETTY easy to trigger.. Not to easy.. But I saw some iPhone 4's which has a very sturdy silent switch.. And they needs a lot of pressure to change between "silent and loud" .  What's your oppinion? . I don't want it to break in the future... what do you think? . I'm to OCD or it's a major problem?
Sorry for my bad english.. btw

thx for replying... but it doesnt work... i turned the app on and made sure all vibrating stuff are on... then i tap ( or even smack ) the right hand corner ... its still not even vibrate once...
You may have to try this several times. If it fails to work after several attempts then I'd return it for one that works properly. There's been several threads regarding this procedure that has been successful including me. However it may not work in your case and a return is the only option. In fact I did return mine for other reasons though and then repurchased again for my wife and I in late July with absolutely no problems.
Good Luck!

  • Should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

    should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

    It's up to the cellular carrier, but I believe most (if not all) will enqueue the messages when your iPhone is off.
    So generally speaking, a few minutes after you turn your iPhone on, your messages should display.  Similarly, your voicemails would arrive.

    Turn it on.
    If it will not power on, try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.

    Sounds like a dead battery.  Try plugging it into a charger.

    Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPod
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPod
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPod
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • Diffrence between when-validate-item and post-text-item trigger

    What is the Diffrence between when-validate-item and post-text-item trigger, when they are written for the same item and the basic diffrence between when-validate-item and post-text-item trigger.

    Two big differences:
    1. post-text-item is only available to, and only triggered when leaving a text item, whereas when-validate-item is triggered by the forms validation process, and is available for any item type.
    2. p-t-i is a navigation trigger and you cannot invoke it programmatically, whereas the 'validate' built-in can be used to execute validation which fires the w-v-i trigger(s).

  • IPhone Silent Switch Broke

    The silent switch on my 8GB iPhone broke the other day. I was outside and I think it literally froze as it was hard to switch off of silent. Well I got the switch to move, but now it is loose. Not where it would fall off but moving it has no function. My iPhone is stuck on silent now. I am going to take it to the Apple Store/Genius Bar tomorrow. I'm just wondering if they'll replace it/fix it. I've dropped it a few times so it has a lot of scratches on the sides, the antenna cover is cracked (although not noticable unless looked at closely) and it has a few scratches on the screen. So will they replace it. I understand that at Apple they usually just replace the iPhone to leave the broken one to get refurbished if the iPhone requires any type of opening. And I think this requires opening because I can't take it off vibrate but the switch is still there not broken off. Before I heard a noise when I moved the switch, but now itz all loose. It stays where you can see half the red dot. So will they replace it?

    If still under warranty, possibly, but depending on how bad the exterior damage is from being dropped may be a factor if the warranty is honored.
    No one here can give you a definite yes or no regarding receiving an exchange under warranty, so the only one way to find out for certain is by going to the Apple Store.
    Good luck!

  • IPhone silent switch acting, odd

    Hi
    I purchased an iPhone 3GS in Febuary, 2010 (Approx. 8 months ago) and is still under the 1 year warranty. Recently my silent switch has been acting up for the past week often going from silent to ring in my pocket constantly buzzing. I dont have this problem when the phone is set to ring, only when it is switched to silent. Now it has gotten worse to the point where i will switch the phone to silent and it wont buzz or show the "Silent" logo but if i push up on it ever so slightly it will switch to silent but if i let go it will go back to ring.
    What should i do? I treat the phone extremely careful and theres nothing wrong with it other than there being scratches on the back and i have already tried a hard reset and a software restore. (Software is OS 4.1 and has not been jailbroken)
    Should i take it to an apple store? Would it get replaced/serviced?
    Thanks.

    If it is bothering you, then make an appointment at the genius bar.
    If it is defective then they will replace.

  • Iphone 5  switches off when battery still has 15%

    After updated to iOS 7,  my iphone 5 always switched off when battery still have 15%. Anybody have the same issues?

    Sounds as if the battery may need to be recalibrated. Let the battery drain until it turns off. Then connect the phone to the charger and let it charge to 100%. Disconnect and then use it. It should get it back to a better read. The batteries are designed to shut down when the battery has a certain amount of power left. The battery percentage is not always that accurate.
    You can take a look at this link from Apple about batteries. http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html

  • 4GB iPhone silent switch costs $199 to repair??

    I just contacted Apple support about the non-functional silent switch on my 4GB iPhone. I was told that it will cost $199 (since I am out of Applecare) to send the phone in to repair the silent switch. I have been a long time Apple fan and this is the first time I feel that I am being taken advantage of.
    It seems that Apple is pushing me to buy a new 3G model instead of servicing my existing phone. It's only 4 GB but it does everything I need it to and I'm very upset about this. If there are any Apple employees that would like to defend the cost of this repair feel free to reply.

  • I need to get into my old account and get my addresses and then cancel the old account but can not get into it. Had to change my user name when I moved and now I can't get into Firefox. Can't remember the old password. What to do??

    I moved during the summer. I changed to highspeedand & when I set my computer up it told me that my email address was already in use so I had to change it(????) I changed from jkady to [email protected] I tried to change it on firefox but it would not except the new name and I could not get into my old account.I need all my addresses and would like to cancel the old account but I can not get into it. This is very frustrating!!!!! I need my addresses!!!!!!!!

    I logged in changed the primary E-Mail address to a different one, vertified it then tried to log in it said either to send an E-Mail to veritify again or to do my security questions, so I choose to do the security questions and put in my Birthday like it asked and it said that it was wrong and I had to authenticate it to get in, why is it so hard to just set up a Apple ID really though!
    So I tried the E-Mail to and it has not sent me an E-Mail then I tried to log in again and it has locked me out of my account so I try to recover my password and it gave me the same options to get my password back and both options are doing the same as before, it says I don't know my on birth date or it is wrong or needs authenticate it, then the E-Mail doesn't come through!
    This is just stupid now.
