Lock button doesn't mute sound

Lock button Works great for lock rotation but not for mute sound.

Is there any software that can make the switch silence all sounds as a safety percation?  I had my volume all the way down I thought and then all of a sudden sound came on full volume from an app.  I have been waiting for this to happen to me and finally it did.
It's interesting how different apps tie into the sound, some play music which I guess is registered to system sound and the lock switch will stop it from playing but several (most it seems) that play sounds or iTunes of course doesn't stop the sound which makes me a bit paridoid to have the thing in meetings.  Hardware switches are so much better than software visuals for things like this in IMO.

  • My screen if frozen and I can't shut off my phone. I already have my assistiave touch button on my screen but it still own't let me shut off my phone. And my lock button doesn't work either

    My screen is frozen on the camera and my phone won't let me shut it off. My lock button doesn't work and my assistance touch button won't let me shut it down either. My phone also takes hours to die and my battery if fully charged so i can't wait for it to die i need to get it back to normal asap! How do I get it to unfreeze?

    A reset is when you press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose any data. Give it a try.

  • How to unlock an iphone 3gs when it's sim locked and the lock button doesn't work???

    I bought this iphone 3gs off an app. I just want to use it as an ipod. it is sim locked (with two attempts left) and the lock button doesn't work at all. What can I do? I just want to use it as an ipod.
    I have also tried everything. I took the sim card out and put it back in again. And I have also left it out. And I have tried connecting it to itunes but I need to unlock. (some of these were suggested by the seller)
    Please help me.

    My guess - and this is completely a guess - is that the SIM in that phone has a PIN that was added to it by the previous owner. Whomever you bought it from didn't bother to check for this (or didn't care) before they got it from the previous owner.
    You need to get a new AT&T SIM for that phone - you could even borrow one from a friend if they have one that will fit the phone. You would only need the SIM to activate it.
    There is no way to activate an iPhone without a SIM in it, even if you don't plan to use it as anything other than an iPod.

  • Help my ipod (touch) lock button doesn't work

    my  iPod lock button doesn't usualy work only like 40 times then stops
    also the volume buttons don't work at the same time  any help |
    Thanks in advanceLogan0916

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipad wont reboot & my sleep or lock button doesn't work??

    I updated ios 7 on my ipad just yesterday. After a while I used it, then my ipad kept popping out shut down mode, and lock the screen randomly.
    I tried to reboot it, my screen kept locking randomly. I tried to reboot it for three times, and for the third time, my ipad wouldn't boot up.
    I connected my ipad to itunes and tried to restore my ipad.
    The screen now has quitted to lock randomly. But I found out that my lock button doesn't work anymore. And the next thing I did was to reboot my ipad by pressing the sleep/lock and home button at the same time, hoping that my lock button would work again, and suddenly my ipad showed apple logo frequently without showing progress bar. And the last thing I do now is to connect my device to itunes, and it is now back on. But the lock/sleep button still not working. And I think that if I reboot my ipad again, it will give me the same problem as it wont reboot itself unless i connect it to itunes.
    Please help me regarding this troubleshooting... My ipad was perfectly fine. Thanks in advance!

  • Lock button doesn't work since update, any ideas?

    All my lock button does is mute, will not lock the screen orientation. Does anyone have any ideas to fix this?

    Rotation lock is now a software function on the taskbar in 4.2 and the button now mutes notifications e.g. so that you can watch videos or listen to music without hearing email notifications etc.
    Rotation lock : double-click the home button, slide from the left, and its the button far right; press home again to exit the taskbar; repeat to switch off rotation lock.

  • The lock button doesn't work

    I bought my iphone 5 for just a few months. But the lock button doesn't work these days.

    Place the iPod in recovery mode using this program:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    For MAC or PC
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Then restore to factory settings/new iPod. If still problem you have a hardware problem.

  • Do I need insurance to get a new iPhone if my lock button doesn't work?

    I have an iPhone 4 and my lock button doesn't work anymore. I've asked around and some of my friends think it's a malfunction in the spring, I was wondering if I could get a new phone since it's a malfunction and that it's not my fault.

    Hi
    If it's within the first year's warranty or within the extended applecare warranty period it will be repaired free of charge provided the fault does not contravene the conditions of the warranty.
    If it's out of warranty you can pay for an out-of-warranty repair.
    Either way you should take it to either your service provider or your nearest apple store.
    HTH?

  • My lock button doesn't work. What can I do about it?

    I got my iPhone 4 refurbished, and the lock button doesn't work. It turns the screen on, but not off, and it doesn't work to take screen shots.

    More than likely a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to confirm.

  • Lock button doesn't work on iPhone 4

    Lock button doesn't work

    I fixed my powerbutton easily with some
    water repellent oil. I dont know what its called, it is that thing you use for locks and hinges anyway. My iphone powerbutton has been working for like 7 months now. There is no difference from when it was new! I can really recomend this. Just remember to turn of the phone and have it upside down when you spray. And dont use to much! Theres no need for more than a few drops.

  • Iphone won't turn on after being dropped?lock button doesn't work

    I dropped my iPhone 4s onto the ground , and the screen is black. I've looked at other apple discussions and they said to hold onto the home and lock button. However, my lock button doesn't work! I've been using assistive touch on my iPhone ever since the lock button stopped working

    If you haven't, try connecting it to your charger. If that doesn't bring it back to life, there's nothing more you can try without a working sleep/wake button.
