Mute button sometimes stops working

I have a Curve 8330 on Verizon and sometimes the mute key stops working and I can't put the phone into standby. Don't know what causes it, but the only way I have found to remedy it is to pull the battery. But eventually the problem comes back.
I recently upgraded to OS version 4.5.0.77. The problem started after the upgrade, so perhaps bug in the new OS?
Anyone else getting this problem? Solutions?

Hello and welcme!
Here is what I have found so far. Battery pulls seem to work.

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.

Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

My iPad 2 home button has stopped working I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the button, I have tried holding the off button then the home button and I was told I could create my own home button in the settings but I can't!

My iPad 2 home button has stopped working all together, I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the home button, I've tried pressing the off switch then pressing the home button, the other thing I was advised to do was create a home button in the settings under the accessibility option but I don't have the option I was advised to use under there! Help! It's really frustrating having to turn the device off everytim I want to switch apps and I really can't afford to send it away to be mended! Many thanks in advance

The accessibilty setting that was mentioned is:
* Enable AssistiveTouch
Enable AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device:
Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
*Note* If you power off the device using the AssistiveTouch panel (tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch button, Device>Lock Screen (tap and hold to power off)), you will NOT be able to power on the device *if your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning*. You will need to connect the powered off device either to a PC's USB port or an external charger to power the device back on.

Volume and mute buttons do not work. no ringtone

Volume and Mute buttons do not work. Ringtones and alerts all silent. Sound working for music etc...

Sounds like you have a speaker fault and the phone would normally require servicing. But seeing as you have had the screen replaced, you will not be able to do this via the Genius Bar.
You will probably need to go back to the place where you got the screen replaced and ask them to look at the speaker for you.

I don't suppose you have an external keyboard. If you do, test it. If not, try booting in safe mode (shift key down at startup.)

HT204266 Why did my lock button suddenly stop working?

I just recently bought the Iphone 5. Its only been a couple of months and my lock button suddenly stopped working. My Iphone 5 isnt the only one that has done this, I know many other people whose phones have done the same thing. Does anyone know why they are doing this?

Hey destinyw12,
I'd take a look at the iPhone hardware troubleshooting article to see if you can resolve the issue with your Sleep/Wake button:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Specifically, you'll want to look into the section titled "Buttons and Switches" which will be applicable to your situation.
Take care,
David

Hello, my main button has stopped working .. how do I make it work again?

Hello,
my main button has stopped working.. how do I make it work again?
thank you

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

Go to Control panel, software and verify that the programs are installed. Now uninstall them. After you have done that you can reinstall them from the HP Backup and Recovery manager. You can either do it from an F10 key during the startup of your laptop or from the HP Recovery CD set that you (should) have made.
See this HP web support document for information on how to restore the software.

"Why didn't iCare staff which is Apple's do something..."
They did. They told you what you should do to get the problem resolve. Too, "iCare" is an AASP and provides service for Apple's products, but the staff is not employed by Apple. It's not an "Apple Store".
