IPhone Volume slider goes wonky after charging!

Ok; I have a WEIRD question. (then again, when isn't a tech question weird? Nevermind.)
So, I have a completely babied iPhone 3GS. Never fallen even an inch, been in a case since I got it, I even clean the screen. :3 I have iTunes 9.0.1.8, and a Griffin wall charger/adapter that I bought about 2 years ago when I got my older iPod. That's what I use (in conjunction with the new cord I got with my iPhone a few months ago) to charge it. Now my question: (and yes, all this was relevant!) It would appear that my iPhone's volume control on its iPod (not on other audio apps such as Pandora or Youtube, only iPod) goes ABSOLUTELY WONKY after charging it on this wall charger. Nothing else breaks, it all works normally, even plays normally, except the volume slider bounces around like it's on drugs and sticks to a very loud place on the slider. In addition, while it's plugged into this charger and ONLY while plugged in, the whole screen's touch sensitivity goes weird, too. It thinks my finger is somewhere other than where it is. It registers a touch an inch below where my fingertip really is on the screen & is unresponsive at random. This is fixed by unplugging it from the charger.
The volume slider is fixed by plugging in & syncing the phone with my computer (using an older iPod cord: I have way too many so I use one for the computer & the newer one for the charger), but then it promptly goes back to broken after I plug it into the wall charger for a couple hours. I've never used a car charger on it (heard that's bad). It's not practical for me to open my laptop every time I wanna charge this guy; should I use a different wall adaptor? Is an old Griffin adaptor not good for iPhone? (btw: I can manually move the volume down with the button on the side of the phone, but the slider on-screen doesn't show the difference; I just hear less volume.)
Many thanks, and best of luck (all of us dealing with technology need it)!

Got the same problem... but I'm using only original hardware. The problem with the volume control is only appearing when using the Ipod (on the Iphone). The volume control on the Youtube App for example is working fine. Also it is only the volume control on the touch screen and not the hardware volume control button. The screen volume controller sticks to a certain level and when trying to move it, it follows my finger but jumps back to its initial position as soon as my finger is no more touching the screen. Furthermore the indicated volume on the screen does not correspond to the real volume level. I.e. I can turn up the volume on the hardware volume controller as much as possible and the screen volume controller stays at the same position...
I am not using any of the mentionned apps!? However I got quite a lot of apps so it is possible thant one of them is causing the problem. Does anyone have a list of all apps that are causing this problem?
Btw: I am using the new 3GS with the latest software on both Iphone and iTunes..
Thank you!

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to press end the call

    why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call

    hi smalley3,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
    If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
    In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).

  • HT2188 my iphone 4s shut down quickly after charging why?

    my iphone 4s shut down quickly after charging why?

    Most likely due to faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

  • Iphone volume slider has disappeared

    The volume slider on my iphone has disappeared and it wont play music from itunes, apps, videos or anything else I've tried. I have tried using the external volume controls on the side and  its not on silent. I have also tried resetting a couple of times but this hasn't helped.

    I had the same problem. My iPhone recognizes that it is connected to a music dock and the phone speaker won’t work.
    It’s definitely a hardware problem APPLE could have solved by software. With that problem when using VIBER you can select the sound output either to music dock, earpiece, or phone speaker. APPLE just needed to implement the same in the phone SETTING.
    So how to solve without APPLE support? (Getting APPLE support is best but in my case the nearest APPLE store is hundreds of kilometers from my residence, so not worth enough). First I cleaned the connector pins and put a silicon dust cap (with two tongues) which more or less squeezes the inner connector pins and the volume slider and sound was back. When I remove the cap for charging the volume slider and sound disappear again (not immediately but sooner or later).
    Since whether connected to a music dock or not is recognized by the resistance between two pins on the connector, for me it seems that the cap made the resistance go to infinity which was close to the dock connection value without (why, I have no idea, the air moisture?).

  • Iphone G3 screen goes black after ending every call.

    My iphone screen goes black after ending a call. Shouldn't I have to hit the "end call" button? I'm having to re-boot the phone after every call I make. Anyone else have similar issues?

    Nathan C.,
    I know that and it is not the problem nor an explanation.
    Here is the issue I am referring to:
    When someone calls, still during the conversation when I remove the phone from my ear (in order to access the key pad, for example), or in order to hand up, the screen goes black and the phone freezes.
    In other words I cannot terminate the call or access the keys,as I remove the phone away from my ear it shuts down.
    Any help???

  • IPhone 4 screen goes blank after lock screen

    My iPhones screen works perfectly on the lock screen but as soon as i enter the passcode it goes blank.
    Its still fully functional in terms of recieving calls, vibrating, screenshotting etc. but what could i do to fix it.
    I've already tried reseting the settings by holding the home and sleep button at the same time.
    What else can I do?

    I'm sorry, but this makes no sense. What do you mean by "screenshotting"? How can you tell anything is working if the screen goes blank after you enter the passcode?
    If a reset didn't fix it, try a restore. If that doesn't fix it, restore it as a new device.

  • Audio editing on individual slides goes wonky

    I record each of my slides separately with the audio attached to the slide itself so that audio is never broken across multiple slides.
    This usually requires that I touch the audio on each slide at least once, in order to control the timing at the beginning and end.  I generally find that 8 ms of silence before I begin speaking and 8ms after creates a nice transition to the next slide (and topic).
    The problem (I think) is that the audio track in Captivate is actually continuous and so my action of cutting a section from the audio track or adding something to the audio track on one slide seems to affect the entire project and mess up my timing on both the slide I am working on and on other slides.
    Here's an example:
    http://screencast.com/t/4GIWeETOkrgd
    As you can see, I count off 8ms and remove the long pause at the beginning of the slide.  Then I insert silence instead of background noise, save, and reopen the audio. 
    All of my work is gone and the audio is almost to the edge of the slide.  Fortunately, I haven't lost any audio (this happens sometimes).  But I have to reinsert 8ms of silence, then resave and hope for the best as I move on to the next slide.  At the end of the project, I have to visually check each slide again to make sure that audio has not magically moved around or been cut off.
    What's going on and how can I do this more efficiently?  It's bad enough to have to edit each slide in order to have the right level of control.  But then to find my hard work gone ... it's very discouraging!

    Hi Lilybiri, this might not be the correct thread but I couldnt find exaclty what I'm after. My apologies if this is not the right place.
    I'm creating a course with supporting audio narration, a narration audio file attached to each slide. Some of these slides have video with audio too.
    I was wondering if there is a way for the user to turn off the narration audio on a slide, without muting the videos?
    I was hoping this could be done through a button?
    Thanks

  • Iphone 3gs screen goes white after unlooking but works fine before

    Hi everyone.
    This is my first post here.
    I got an Iphone 3GS that worked fine yesterday and then suddenly after the unlook the screen the screen goes totlay white.
    I have tried the rebot thing and after that the phone works untill it looks the screen and the it back to white again.
    I have tried to update the phone software to the latest because the phone looks fine in iTunes. No change
    I have done the factory reset no change.
    I have even but an old backup to the phone when the phone worked. no change.
    What can I do to get my phone working?
    thanks in advance

    This is a rare but classic iPhone 3GS White Screen Problem. It is due to faulty LCD Display.
    Before and during any iPhone 3GS repair make sure the iPhone is OFF. Because the 3GS Logic Board and new LCD is vulnerable to damage when repaired with it being ON.

  • Iphone 3gs screen goes white, after locking ???

    my iphone 3gs botts up fine, and everything works, but as soon as i lock it and then try to unlcok it, the screen turns white. tbhis has happened after i have replaced the digitizer and LCD ?? please help, what could the fault be ???

    I am not jailbroken, on 5.1.1 (9B206) and have been dealing with this problem since last night. I was using the phone like normal, nothing changed and once I tried to unlock it was white screen. I went to bed and once my alarm in the phone was going off this morning it kept being the white screen and I could not unlock it. After snoozing it somehow from hitting home and the sleep/wake button, the screen randomly came back to life. Now 9 or so hours later, with nothing being updated, added to the phone or changing any sort of way, the white screen when I try to unlock it is back.

  • HT1476 why does my iphone turn it'self on after charging?

    Why does my iphone 4 turn itself back on after/while charging?

    You are right, Apple uses this "help" board to allow other users to help and yes it does avoid hiring more paid employees because every question answered here doesn't need to be answered by a phone person. But, not every question can be answered by other users or not every question is seen by the one person who does know the answer. When that happens, you still have the option to call Apple support at 1-800-275-2273 or you can go to https://expresslane.apple.com and speak directly with Apple.

  • IPhone 4 screen goes black after swiping to unlock

    How do I fix this? I just updated my iphone software to 5.1.1 and ever since then the screen has gone black after I swipe it to unlock. I've tried resetting through itunes, I've tried doing a hard reset on the iphone itself but nothing works. I did notice when I first got the phone that the screen flickered a little bit, nothing to serious though.

    Yup I've been having the same issue as well...I figured it's a bug in the OS. SURPRISE...NOT!

  • Iphone purchased music goes missing after sync with iTunes?

  • Volume slider keeps dissapearing - iphone 5

    I Have an iPhone 5 and am having issues with the volume slider, as it keeps dissapearing.
    Restatying rting the phone by holding down the home and standby button temporarily fixes the issue but it doesn't take long for it it come back.
    Cant hear any sounds other than when the phone rings or an alarm is going off.
    the slider reappears though when headphones are Inserted.
    A couple of months ago I took my phone to the Apple Store for them to clean out both the headphone hole and the charging hole as they were full of dust, coukd this be related to my new issue?

    Hey dargan,
    Thanks for the question. Dust and debris can definitely lead to this issue. If there is any sort of debris in the headphone or lighting port, the phone might think that there’s an accessory connected. For more information, see this resource:

  • Volume has fixed value after recording volume-slider

    Hi
    I recorded a part I played on my keyboard and after that recorded volume-changes I made with the volume slider . But after the so created region the volume stays fixed on the last recorded value. Is there a way to avoid that ? Has to do something with last volume message that isn't ended.

    no one knows how to have controle over the volume slider again after a hyperdraw in a region? Is it normal that the volume is fixed for the rest of the song unless you hyperdraw or automate again ? very anoying.....Even after moving all trackautomation to region it stays fixed , you should have full controle agsin over the volume.
    Is this a bug?

  • Slides go blank after 1 second

    I've created slides in PowerPoint 2010 and imported to Captivate 6. I've added the audio narration in Captivate. Everything appears to be fine, but as I attempt to view the slides from the timeline, each slide goes blank after 1 second while the audio continues. It displays correctly when I preview in the web browser, just not in the timeline preview. It's workable but a nuisance when trying to adjust timings and placement of caption boxes, etc.
    I've checked the slide length in Captivate and the slide transitions in PowerPoint... no clue why the slides "disappear" after one second... Any ideas??

    Hi Mephis James
    There is a small trick ( ahit and trial method) you can perform.
    Let's take an example that there are 20 slides in your Powerpoint presentation. Import first 5 slides in Captivate and then preview/publish the project. If the project play fine, then continue with the next 5 slides. Then preview/publish this 10 slides project. If the project play fine, then continue to add the next 5.
    At some stage, if you will  find out that the project is again showing the same behavior which it was showing before, then try to eliminate slides from Captivate 1 by 1 from the bottom and you will be able to rectify the odd slide which is causing this issue.
    Say, slide 15 is causing this issue. So if you import 19 slides out of 20 excluding slide number 15, then the project willplay fine.
    Thanks and Regards
