Mute button doesn't work to put phone in standby mode, help??

I have a blackberry curve and the mute button will not work to put my phone in standby.  It does work to mute a phone call, however.  It has done this a couple of times, where it will work for awhile, and then stop working for awhile.  I'm not sure if I have hit something to make it so I can't put it in standby mode.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

Welcome to the forums
Did you press and hold the mute button? It takes a long key press to work. Also do a Battery Pull:
1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://store.berryreview.com/product.asp?id=27660&n=QuickPull-Free
A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.

    Probably nothing, the phone has a high likelihood of being stolen and if you try to Restore it you will run into Activation Lock. Turn it in to the local authorities.

  • Upgraded to iOS7 on my iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work

    I upgraded to iOS7 on my WiFi only iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work.   It toggles between Ringer on and off and of course, there is no ringer on my WiFi iPad. Same thing happens in the control panel when I switch functions and try to mute the sound there.  It used to toggle between Volume on and off.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    You can't. Either get your phone fixed at a third-party repair shop, or go to an Apple store & they will replace your phone for US $199.

  • The Mute button doesn't work in the browser

    I Have the mute button on most of the time cause i don't want to hear alerts, but noticed that in the browser if a webpage has any type of sound it plays it regardless of the status of the mute button. I know the mute button is overwritten by Music/Video but it shouldn't be with Safari.

    that sounds broken, sad no one replied you two years ago .
    Actually is sounds as if it was working correctly. Mute only mutes notifications (phone rings, text, email, etc). What is less explicable is why you felt the need to resurrect this thread.

  • The sound mute button doesn't work on my HP pavilion dv6

    The finger button on the pavilion dv6 doesn't work for the sound mute button.  I'm not sure if a setting has been disabled or not. Anyone have any ideas on how to restore it ?

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp48501-49000/sp48668.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if the mute button now functions correctly

  • Microphone Mute Button Doesn't Work - T510

    Pretty simple issue.  I think I have the latest software updates installed but on my Win7 64-bit T510, all keyboard special buttons work except for Microphone mute.  Speaker mute and speaker volume buttons work fine. I'm having to mute my mic from the Recording Devices screen in Win7. 
    What could prevent Microphone mute button from working?

    I've got the same problem on  my new T410. I think quite a few people do, but for some reason, this isn't getting much attention. Strange how you can buy a high end product, from a reputable laptop manufacturer, and the product still doesn't work. Quite hard to believe - I mean, this is the year 2010, and a simple button on the notepad doesn't work. Also, hard to believe the audio is not supported on the display port....
    Would be hard to believe that audio isn't supported on the display port, since it is supported..

  • Mute Button Doesn't Work

    My laptop has a mute button on the keyboard which does work in general. I just installed iTunes 7.1.1.5. When I am playing music and I hit the keyboard "mute" button, the computer mutes for a second and then unmutes - so the mute button (essentially) does nothing. This problem has only occured since I upgraded (I did not have this problem with previous versions) and does not occur when either iTunes is paused or iTunes is not open at all. Thank you,
    Michael

    My laptop has a mute button on the keyboard which
    does work in general. I just installed iTunes
    7.1.1.5. When I am playing music and I hit the
    keyboard "mute" button, the computer mutes for a
    second and then unmutes - so the mute button
    (essentially) does nothing. This problem has only
    occured since I upgraded (I did not have this problem
    with previous versions) and does not occur when
    either iTunes is paused or iTunes is not open at all.
    This problem was introduced in iTunes 7.1 (or possibly reintroduced). It certainly did not affect 7.0. It only happens when iTunes is running and is NOT the front-most Application.
    It really hacked me off when this happened because I normally leave iTunes running in the background while running Media Center 2005. iTunes can then share the library across my network and also automatically download podcasts.
    The culprit is a DLL in the iTunes application and is in the following location…
    C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesKeyboardCompatibility.dll
    I initially tried iTunes 7.1.1 (did not fix it), then a couple of third party tools for remapping media keys which claimed to help (but did not), and finally bit the bullet and tried another tip which is to replace the above DLL file with a folder using EXACTLY the same name including the .dll extension. This does work and I can now use the Microsoft Media Center remote control to mute the volume etc. even with iTunes running in the background.

  • [iPhone 3GS] Home button doesn't work on new phone

    After half a day new iPhone 3GS stopped working properly.
    Home button doesn't respond. It works only when I plug iPhone to the computer.

    iPhone 3GS with preinstalled iOSx 5.0.1. Should I update to the new 5.1 or downgrade to the 4.0 version?

    If it were me, I would return it for a replacement.  Also, you can only upgrade the iOS, not downgrade.

  • Power button does not respond to put phone on sleep mode

    Any way to resolve or common issue

    Try performing a system repair as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone
    Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
    Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
    If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

  • Submit button doesn't work after moving form to another parent container

    I'm re-arranging the page using jquery. When I moved a div or table containing a form to another div, the submit button doesn't work anymore. Using the emulation mode under the Inspect Element feature of IE, the same code works for IE9 but not under IE10
    and up.
    Any ideas?
     

    I will steal the answer that George gave to a similar question, because it turns out it is applicable here as well:
    George Johnson  on Feb 23, 2012 11:17 AM 
    When you distribute a form, it replaces the email address that you've set up in a submit button with the email address you have specified in "Edit > Preferences > Identity > Email Address". So before you initiate the Distribute Form process, change the email address there to the one you want to use.
    It is a ridiculous solution, because it means I have to make the identity of my personal copy of Acrobat the email address of someone else or some other department when I make the form, but whatever -- at least the form sends now.

  • 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.

  • My power button is not working and my phone doesn't wanna turn on i've tried to charge it so it can turn on like it usually does but it's not turning on

    my power button is not working and my phone doesn't wanna turn on i've tried to charge it so it can turn on like i usually does but it's not turning on

    Hold down on the home button simultaenously holding on the sleep wake button (power button) hold it for more than 15 seconds this will then shut down the device.
    If the device is already shut off do this same sequence to see if you get an apple logo. If you get the logo allow the device to login. Write back if this does not resolve your issue.
    Good luck Friend.
