IPhone 6 silent/ringer switch not working

When I try to put my phone on silent by switching the button on the left hand side. It doesn't seem to do anything now?!?!
The button seems to work fine but its just not silent, I have tried just going into sounds and turning my ringer right down but you can still slightly hear it when it goes off.
Obviously this wouldn't be a problem normally just for times when I need it on but on silent - ie work etc.
Any ideas?

Two options
1. Get your phone looked at by Apple
2. Invoke Settings - General - Accessibility - Assistive Touch - you can turn the mute off or on from there

My iPhone 4 ring will not work - it just vibrates. When I toggle the silent switch no bell comes up. Have restored.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

My iphone 6 ringer will not work evenafter i have reset. is it because of the new updates? any help on how to get the ringer working. when i test the ringer tunes it works, just that it will not work foran incoming call.

Iphone 6. 64 gb. Versión is 8.0(12A366). Ringer does not work. Basically not getting any sound for incoming calls. Also no sound for any notifications or alerts. Have tried to reset the phone but still no sound for ringer or notifications.

Check the mute switch on the side of the device.

Ringer not working and also what does"Locked Sim" mean its on my other iPhone front screen

Hello,
I understand that you have two separate questions. To address your first, regarding your ringer:
iPhone: Sound muffled or low from the speaker or when speaking into the mic

You also inquired about a prompt regarding the Sim card being Locked:
iOS: Understanding the SIM PIN

IPhone 4 ringer doesn't work

My iphone 4 ringer does not work! My phone does not ring when there is an incoming call. The mute button on the side is on ringer mode. All other types of audio works just fine like the alarm and music and game sounds. every thing works except the ringer. I've checked all of the ringer settings and it still doesnt work. Plus i think my vibrate broke around the same time as the ringer too so now im missing everything like calls, texts, and emails. Is this a hardware problem and is there a way i can get it fixed??

I had the same problem, so I asked Siri why it doesn't ring. She brought up search contents for the issue, and the first explanation solved the problem.
I had inadvertently shut off the "sounds" switch on the upper left side of my iphone (when off, the switch shows an orange-red color).
When I fliiped this switch to "on", and tested the phone w/ a phone call from my home phone, the ringer tone was heard loud & hear.
Easy fix, thankfully!

The silent/ringer switch and the volume control buttons stopped working, how can I fix this or do I just need to get a new phone?

One day I relalized that the silent/ringer switch on my iPhone 4 stopped working. My phone is permently silent and I can't turn the ringer on. The speakers still work so they aren't the problem. Also, the volume controls on the side don't work either. Is this problem fixable or do I need to get a new phone?

you can try the restore first to make sure it is nothing software related. makesure to back up information and restore as new. after that it is hardware if your with in the limited hardware warranty and can be replaced for free if you are not then it can be replaced for 149$ if it is a iphone 4 or lower

My ringer does not work on my phone (not sure what happened, didn't smash it, nor did it fall to the ground), and I have been on silent/vibrate mode for a few months now. Unfortunately I am unable to listen to music without headphones, or get on speaker.

I can hear sounds when I plug in to headphones or on bluetooth (streaming audio from my car).
Can anyone help?
I have the iphone 4s.
Thank you!

Hey Chris,
Unfortunately the ringer does not work - which causes the speaker to not work when it's switched on to ring mode, unless I'm on bluetooth. It has recently stopped working and I've had this phone for 2 years.

Iphone 4 Alerts Tones Not Working / Ringer Is WORKING KINDLY REPLY ME

HI , PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT I AM GETTING PLEASE HELP
MY ISSUE IS IPHONE 4 ALERTS TONES NOT WORKING AND CALL RINGER IS WORKING.. PLEASE HELP ME!

If the iPhone came from the US then it is locked to AT&T. To unlock an iPhone the original carrier is the only one who can unlock the iPhone and AT&T will not unlock iPhones. So there is not official way to unlock the iPhone 4.
At this point there is no way to hack the iPhone 4 running 4.2.1 to unlock it either so the phone and messaging apps will never work. You basically have an iPod touch.

TS3694 No sound and ringer button not working. I cannot play music but when I put my Iphone 4 on the dock it plays music. This happens when I updated my phone to IOS 6.1.3..The phone doesnt have any carriers we only used this just like Itouch. Please help

Please help. Since I updated my Iphone4 to ISO 6.1.3...The ringer button not working, can't play any music (but ok with the dock), headphone sound is muffled. What can I do? I tried restoring and downgrading but it won't let me.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out to the community.

It appears like you may have a hardware issue with your ringer button and internal speaker that came to light after the update. If you have already restored your iPhone back to factory settings using iTunes, you may need to have your phone serviced.
Some potential good news... Check your headphone jack for lint. There may be enough to cause a muffled connection. You can try to blow it out with compressed air or very carefully pulling out any solid objects that may affect the connection.
Best of luck!

My iPhone has a protective cover on it and I carry it in my pocket a lot. Quite often when I take it out of my pocket the silent/ring switch is off and I am sure it was on when I put the phone in my pocket. How can this be happening?

Protective cover as in screen protector? This would have nothing to do with the silent switch.
If you're referring to an actual case though... take the case off and see if the problem continues.
It may be as simple as the silent switch being lose, which will require a device replacement to resolve.

The iPhone 5 is less than a year old, so all of them should still be in warranty unless they have been jailbroken or physically damaged. If you have a hardware problem as you describe the only option is to get the phone replaced by Apple or repaired by a non-authorized shop. The Apple replacement will be free at any Apple store in the country where the phone was purchased. If Apple determines that the phone was physically damaged or jailbroken it will cost $229.

My IPhone's volume is not working. I have checked and tried everything. When I use my headset I can hear when phone rings or receive text msg when I pull the jack out I have no sound on anything

I had this problem with my 4s a couple of times when I'd taken the headphones out and it hasn't registered it. My solution was easy, all I had to do was turn the phone off and then on again.
Although I'm sure you've already tried this its a sometimes forgotten and very easy solution to a lot of problems. I hope you find out what's wrong.

The sounds are working on my i phone but the ringer will not work...it will only vibrate. I have the volume set at high.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps? If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange.
