IPhone: Hook into ringer on off switch?
One pet peeve I have with applications is that they don't respect the ringer on/off switch. I shouldn't have to constantly change the volume when I go from a meeting (app muted) to my car (normal volume). I can't find any reference to getting the state of this switch in the sdk docs or forum. Anyone out there done this yet?

Bump - the Jott app does this so I know it is possible.

Hi. My Iphone 4 suddenly is completely off though it is charged. I even made someone else call my number in vain. I've been trying to switch it on, but in vain. First time this problem happened. I have no idea what happened to the phone. it rings correcly in the other line. I just plugged in again with the charger but I dont see any signal. please help if somebody has an idea as I have no clue..Thanks.
Miksu,
Great ideas, thank you. I have two USB cables, both of which I have tried on my computer and my friends. Unless I got two bad cables in a row, I somewhat doubt it is the cause of my problem but it is still possible.
I haven't yet tried any other form of connecting to my PC though I plan to borrow a neighbors Bluetooth USB Dongle tonight if I can and see if that works. I don't think any of my friends have a Nokia that uses the same cable, but I could check that too I guess.
Any other suggestions will still be appreciated as I really doubt that these will solve the problem. On the other hand, you MAY BE RIGHT about my USB port on my phone. It is possible that it could be damaged, though I have used the same port with a headset and that worked. It might be that it was using a different pin configuration though. I also plan to try resetting to factory settings, and flashing/updating the firmware if I can find an authorized service agent of Nokia in my area. My cell provider may be able to help me in that regard, but it would be a couple weeks because they have to wait for a special data cable.
I appreciate all the advice. Any other ideas would still be welcome because I think there have been a few others who have had trouble with my particular model of phone. A funny thing is that my phone model doesn't seem to be listed as compatible with PC Suite, but Nokia told me it was. Hopefully it's just a typo. -
I have an iphone 3gs and it has suddenly switched off and it won't charge or switch back on HELP!!!!!!!!
Do a reset hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple sign and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up. If that doesn't work - do the steps while your phone is plug into your PC.

IPhone 3GS stuck and I cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.
My iPhone 3GS stuck and i cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.
this usually appears when your iphone is not registered correctly with apple/itunes so plug it in to your computer and try setting it up if it gives you the correct prompt. if not try to restore and sync. usually tis problem appears when your iphone has no sim card or is not registered correctly. in this case you need to contact your carrier and set up an account. if you are trying to use it without a service or sim card then unless you go through some sketchy program of hacking it it is worthless to you without a sim or service plan. i have the original iphone1 i got from a buddy of mine i used as an ipod before getting an iphone4 and if i took the sim out this message appears. if you do have a sim and a service plan than there might be a problem with the phone reading the sim card you you can go into your service provider's store and request a new sim to see if that works.
I am sorry if none of this is helpful for i have no other suggestions. -
IPhone not playing alert tone after switching off silent mode
Hi I have been having an issue ever since getting my iPhone 6 plus where when I take the phone off silent mode the alert tone does not play when I receive a SMS, iMessage etc. The phone vibrates but does not sound the alert tone, all other sounds work like lock sound, keyboard clicks and ring tone.
I have updated to the latest IOS 8.1.3 but the issue still seems to be happening.
I just had a chance now to troubleshoot and noticed that this has something to do with the volume control that you pull up from the bottom of the screen.
with the volume set to the minimum setting the alert tone does not play but it does play with the volume set mid-way or maximum. Depending on the volume setting depends how loud the alert tone plays.
I can reproduce the issue with these steps:
turn volume to minimum using the pull up menu at the bottom of the screen
set phone to silent using the switch on the left side of the iPhone
lock the screen
take the phone off silent mode
receive an SMS and the alert will not play.
has anyone else come across this issue? i never had this problem with my iPhone 5 and i always had the volume set to a minimum.Hi Brenden_l,
It sounds like you are turning down the volume for alerts with the Control Center volume control, which is like turning them down with the side buttons.
Control Center - iPhone
Control Center gives you instant access to the camera, calculator, AirPlay, and other handy features. You can also adjust the brightness, lock the screen in portrait orientation, turn wireless services on or off, and turn on AirDrop. See AirDrop.
Open Control Center. Swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen (even the Lock screen).
You may want to change the Sound Setting to not have ringer and alert volume change with buttons.
Volume controls - iPhone
Lock the ringer and alert volumes. Go to Settings > Sounds and turn off “Change with Buttons.”
Take care,

iPhone will not ring if locked when when Do Not Disturb is not on and the phone is not on silent (button on side is not red). This problem occurs regardless of whether it I have Do not Disturb on (manually, or scheduled) or COMPLETELY OFF. I've tried wiping the phone and reinstalling from a saved copy but of course the problem comes back because the problem is inherent in the save. There are two options under "Silence" at the bottom of the Do Not Disturb preferences. "Always" or "Only when iPhone is locked". Those are the only two options and I want neither. No amount of deselecting will work. It forces you to pick one.
Does anyone have a solution given that I've better explained the problem?The settings at the bottom of the Do Not Disturb page do not matter if you have the switch for Manual turned to off, or the Scheduled turned to off.
When the phone is unlocked, if you try to raise the volume of the ringer, what do you see on the screen? Does it say ringer, do you see the word headphones anywhere? -
How do I turn off automatic renewal of subscriptions eg to New York Times.
AND can I be confident that when I download an apstore update I am not then being hooked into an on going subscription.ThankyouHi,
I am using German OS therefore maybe the items are called differently in English:
1) Go into the main menu
2) Select "Alerts"
3) select the Profile you like to adjust
4) Select App Alerts
5) Select Email
6) You sould see your 3 mail accounts listed
7) Select the one you like to "mute" and you can set everything (sound, LED, vibration etc. individually for this acount)
Hope it helps

If your device has been jailbroken during the warranty, Apple will not service it.
Maybe you missed that in this article:

Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks iOS.

How do I get custom ringtone off my iPhone and into iTunes
I recently reformatted my laptop and now I need to get my ringtones off my iphone and into itunes so I can back them up but when i check sync tones, iTunes is telling me it will erase all tones on my iPhone 4 and replace with tones on current iTunes library (and there are no tones on current iTunes library.) Is there a way to save my ringtones that Ive created that are only on my iPhone?
Bump? Does anyone have any words of wisdom?

just updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, now my phone won't turn back on. The apple logo comes on and sits then shuts off. Then comes back on and just sits.I have held down the home button and on/off switch several times to reset, but same problem persists.
Place iPhone on Wall Charger for at least 10 minutes. Then keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger. If still problem, open iTunes 10.7 on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, then click Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, try DFU Mode Restore, here are the steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode. If still problem and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

I have an iphone 4 n it is getting switched off automatically n switches on automatically , also it increases d volume by itself. Its a 1year old phone n the version is 4.3.2(8H7). Also the volume sign does not go off from the screen. Can anyone help me find out if its a hardware problem???
Do you have a case on your iPhone? It could be pressing the buttons on the iPhone and causing it to restart or behave unusually.
This Apple doc will help you find out if there is a hardware or software problem -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
You can always contact Apple and setup service through Express Lane. -
HT201401 i am unable to switch off iphone with the power on/off button.
i am unable to switch off iphone with the power on/off button. Though I can feel the sense of the button, but it doesnt work.
If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, Apple charges $199 for Replacement iPhone 4S. You can use Assistive Touch. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can be used to turn iPhone OFF, hold down on the Lock Screen icon until "slide to turn off" appears. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, charger or USB port of computer.
