Lock sound isn't working when I slide to unlock iPhone5 after iOS 7 upgrade

I just installed iOS 7 (which I now regret doing)...I now notice that the lock sound doesnt work when I "swipe" like it did prior to the iOS 7 upgrade. I checked my Settings/Sounds and the Lock Sounds is set to ON. When I "swipe" (slide to unlock), it unlocks the phone but it does this silently. I've shut the phone off, turned back on(rebooted) but nothing changes. Is this normal now with iOS 7? If so, why do we even have an unlock sound option in the Settings? Does anyone know how to get this fixed. I enjoyed hearing the unlock "click" sound prior to iOS 7.

I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad Mini, but I only had the problem on the iPad Mini but this fix may work for you.
This is what I posted in another thread:
I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE FIX FOR THIS! ... (Well it worked for me on my iPad Mini.)
I saw a post from an apple rep telling a iOS 6 user to turn the side switch on to un-mute the sounds. A no-brainier yes, but it made me wonder if the side switch may have been temporarily "confused" after updating to iOS 7 because it added the new settings screen that swipes up from the bottom of the screen. I was using my side-switch to lock the screen rotation and it was in the "off" (down) position (red visible) and none of my notifications were sounding. So I flipped it up and down a couple times which didn't solve the problem. So logically, I proceeded to what inevitably solved the problem...
Go to Settings > General / "Use Side Switch To" and select the opposite of what you are currently using. I had mine on Lock Rotation, so I selected Mute. Then flip your switch up and down slowly a couple of times to see that the confirmation on the screen is correct.  You may have to go back to settings again and select the other choice if you originally had Mute selected, I don't know because I originally had Lock Rotation in use.
Hopefully, this will fix your notification sounds (and the lock sound when you press the power button).  After using this fix, you can set the use of the side switch to your preference and still have all of your notification sounds!

  • My ipod video 30gb's sound isn't working when I try and play music, however I can still hear the clicker?

    I just retrieved this old iPod from my room as when I got an iPhone I completely abandoned the iPod, I believe the model is a 30GB video.
    I can hear the clicker without headphones but when I plug my headphones in and play music, I can't hear anything, and this isn't a problem with the headphones because I have tried with several different types.
    Hope someone can help.

    Usually this is a good indication of a damaged headphone jack, meaning, you'll need to have your iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • ROUND(date) isn't working when TypeMode=1

    Hi,
    We've noticed that the round (date) expression isn't working when TypeMode=1.
    TT version - 7.0.3
    Command> SELECT ROUND (DATE '2007-08-25','YEAR') FROM Dual;
    2817: Invalid data type DATE for argument 1 for function ROUND
    Is it the expected behaivor?
    Thanks.

    Hi Susan,
    Does that mean, i cant use LEFT,RIGHT,DATE_GMT in the ttIsql queries.
    Actually i need to modify the existing code, so that the new code picks data from timesten.
    The existing code uses LEFT,RIGHT,DATE_GMT etc in the SQL queries.
    Do you mean that i need to modify the SDQL queries.
    Please reply urgently
    Thanks a lot!

  • My lock button isn't working. I am using the assistive touch thing right now. Can I get my phone fixed?

    My lock button isn't working. I am using the assistive touch thing right now. Can I get my phone fixed or replaced?

    Rice is hit or miss but if you can (assuming you live in a home with a furnace) sit it up with the speakers facing down on an air flow register for about 10 minutes.  The heat from the furnace will not harm the sensitive components and will dry the phone out nicely including the display layers.  DO NOT USE a hair blower!  The iPhone is capable of drying out much more easily than phones with removable backs as the iPhone while sumbermeged in liquid (for a short time) will take on limited moisture hence can be dried and keep on keeping on.  My dauhter dropped her iPhone 5 in a toilet and it was fine after spending 24 hours in rice and 10 minutes on the air register while the furnace was producing heat.
    One last thing.  DO NOT POWER ON the phone until the drying out efforts have been completed and certainly DO NOT plug it in.

  • HT4085 My sound isn't working

    I have a iPad Ist generation and my sound isn 't working.

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup via iTunes
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I just restored my ipod and the power button works, as well as the home button but when I slide the unlock button it doesn't respond. Basically it is not sensing that I am touching it. I've tried restoring it and restarting it but nothing seems to work.

    I just restored my ipod and the power button works, as well as the home button but when I slide the unlock button it doesn't respond. Basically it is not sensing that I am touching it and I can not get out of the home screen. I've tried restoring it and restarting it but nothing seems to work. I've tried everything, is there anything I can do myself to fix it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try 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.

  • Half of my lock button isn't working.

    I bought my iPhone 5 on December 26th and it has been in an otterbox since I bought it, and I have never dropped it. If you tap the back of my phone right about the apple logo you can hear a slight rattling noise and the right half of my lock button isn't working. But if I press to the left of the middle of it, it does work. I have Applecare, the one problem is the nearest Apple store is 2 hours away. What should I do?
    Thank you!

    You can also call them to have your phone serviced:

    You need to get the on/off button repaired.
    You can try connecting the iPhone to a power source which should power the iPhone on.

  • My sound is not working when i play my itunes, my ringers are fine, how do i fix?

    my sound is not working when i play my itunes, my ringers are fine, how do i fix?

    Here's what hardware troubleshooting suggests:
    iPod touch (4th generation): No audio on FaceTime or video recording
    Verify that nothing is blocking the microphone (located on the back next to the main camera).
    If a protective case is used, try removing the device from the case.
    Try turning the device off and back on.
    If this does not help, restore your ipod "as new device" without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt files. Follow this article to do so: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If this does not bring back your microphone, contact Apple to get it serviced.

  • My Ipad will not unlock.  When I slide to unlock it speaks 'unlock key', if I touch the date it 'speaks the date', but I cannot get into the pad.  Was working fine yesterday, any suggestions would be appreciated.  Lisa

    My Ipad will not unlock.  When I 'slide to unlock it speaks 'unlock key', if I touch the date it 'speaks the date', when I turn it on is 'speaks the time', but I cannot get into this ipad at all.  It was working correctly yesterday, any idea's would be appreciated.

    Your iPad is likely stuck in in VoiceOver mode.  Try triple-clicking the home button or connecting your iPad to iTunes on your computer.  You can disable VoiceOver in iTunes from the iPad's summary page by scrolling down to the Options box and clicking on Configure Accessibility.
    Good luck!

  • My ipad 2s sound is not working when I have headphones in.

    I've had the Ipad 2 for about two years now and my sound doesn't work when I have headphones in. I mean it works but I have to turn the sound up all the way and it sounds like it would be on the lowest sound mark. Is that confusing. I thought it was my headphones at first and it didn't really bother me because I didn't use headphones a lot. I had the same headphone for about a year which is why I thought they were the problem, but a couple of months ago I got some new, really good pair of headphones and they have the same problem. If I am watching youtube without my headphones and I turn it up all the way I can still hear it if I walk upstairs, but if I put headphones in and turn it up all the way I can barely hear the sound. I know it is not the headphones because they work perfectly in my phone. Is it something wrong with the headphone jack and can I get it fixed at apple.

    Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

    Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.  Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.
