IPhone: How to tell if Phone is in Silent Mode

Is there any way to detect if the iphone has it's sound turned off? I can't find anything in the docs.

MUCH agreed.
I had an app on my Treo ("Show Off") -- http://www.hobbyistsoftware.com/show-off-more.php -- that remedied this issue. That app changed the background color across multiple apps...so you always knew whether your ringer was on or off. Another useful quality of this "background switching" was that I often had my ringer off at night before going to sleep, in a theatre, etc. -- all environments in which I actually preferred a dark background in order to spare those near me. So my "silent" theme was white text on a black background; and my "ringer on" was black text on a white background.
This kind of "theme switching" would be decidedly un-iPhone-like, but man, I loved that Treo app...!

    If its stuck in recovery mode then you have to restore it. Hopefully you had a recent backup on Icloud or on your computer that you can apply after restoring it. If so then you shouldn't loose your data.
    Just connect it to Itunes and restore it. After it will promt you when your done to restore from backup or as new. If its on icloud unplug the phone and go through the intro screen till you get the same prompt. Sign into icloud and restore backup.

  • Is there anyway to disable the chime when I accidentally catch the microphone icon while texting (phone is in silent mode)

    Hi all,
    I might be being a little dull here, but my question is exacly as in the title: Is there anyway to disable the chime when I accidentally catch the microphone icon while texting (phone is in silent mode)?  I have fat fingers occasionally and whilst people at work don't mind private phone usage to have it occasionally activating the mic and then me cancelling it a little annoying.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Dave

    There is a proximity sensor that should turn the screen off when you place the phone near your face.  Do you have a case that's blocking this?  Try removing your case.  If no case, try restoring you iPhone.  If still a problem, return it to Apple for a warranty replacement.

  • OpenAL Detect if Phone is in Silent Mode

    Is there some way to detect if the phone is in silent mode when using OpenAL? I'm aware of the Audio Queue method but I need to use OpenAL for a particular part of my app and I can't seem to find a way to make it respond to silent mode...or more accurately not respond to silent mode.

    Good question...my app does this too, it powers right through with it's sounds regardless of silent mode or not lol.

  • How can I ensure an app will play audio even when phone is in silent mode

    Am looking at deploying a third party app, but I want to ensure that the app's built in notification system will notify on the user's iphone, even if the user has set the phone to silent mode.
    In the Android world <gasp!> there is an app called CritiCall. In the Apple world, I have found no such equivalent. And honestly I want a control that supports the app's usage of device functions, not individual device functions.
    MEM solutions don't seem to fill this bill either. Any suggestions out there?

    Ask the app's developer or try it for yourself before deploying it.

  • How do I get phone out of recovery mode?

    Tried to update to IOS 8 today and phone froze during the update, from reading lots and lots of articles on the internet I have discovered that it is in recovery mode (with a blue itunes logo). My question is how do I get it out of recovery mode? Itunes does not seem to recognise it when I connect it to my laptop and I have tried the hard reset and also holding the home button while reconnecting.....all help gratefully accepted!!

    Make sure that iTunes is up to date, as well as windows (if you are using windows)  You will have to restore the device using iTunes  If iTunes is not recognizing the device in recovery mode, you may need to call Apple Care.  Explain that the device went into recovery mode when updating to iOS 8, and they should help you for no charge.

  • 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,
    Nubz
