My phone changes to silent to not silent by itself

My iphone 3gs changes to silent to not silence by itself. I don't change the button or settings. It randomly spazes, especially during text messages or games. Even in the middle of the night my volume changes and it vibrates to let me know of the change. I dont know how much longer I can take this. HELP ME!!....Please!

The switch is physically failing. Take it in to the Apple Store. They may replace it, even if the warranty is up. Worst case you can get an out of warranty replacement or just upgrade to a 4 or 4S.

  • I have a problem that my phone only vibrates but does NOT ring any more.  No matter what I try to do with settings turning off "silent" or whatever nothing helps.  Do I need to reset.  what are the consequences of resetting?

    I have changed my Iphone once last year. My iphone has being playing up for the best part of 6 months. It Keeps deleting all my music of the phone. it freezes and will not allow me to turn it on or off. if i am in the middle of an app it will randomly shut it down and turn the phone off totally (even if it is charged.) It will not charge properly, it has to be in a exact position to charge and even then go's off and on. I thought this my be my charger but the charger works fine on another phone. it will not allow texts to come through properly and sometimes will not not let me ring people it just freezes and i have to turn it off and on a couple of times in order for it to work. it will not let me update apps and the silent button is not silent it still go's of on ringer.The keyboard will freeze up not allowing me to type anything.  It wants me to pay £126.44 for it to be repaire when i have nothing to do with why its not working!

    That is correct.
    That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period

  • OpenAL Detect if Phone is in Silent Mode

    Is there some way to detect if the phone is in silent mode when using OpenAL? I'm aware of the Audio Queue method but I need to use OpenAL for a particular part of my app and I can't seem to find a way to make it respond to silent mode...or more accurately not respond to silent mode.

    Good question...my app does this too, it powers right through with it's sounds regardless of silent mode or not lol.

  • How can some emergency contact rings even if phone is in silent mode

    If I understand correctly, you're asking if you can have one number ring aloud even if the phone is on silent? Sorry, but that's not an option.

  • Set the phone ringer to "silent" ?

    Just got my iPhone today.
    I'm a little surprised that there isn't an obvious way to set the phone ringtone to "silent" from the main screen. In fact, I wasn't really able to figure out how to set it to silent/vibrate only.
    What happens if you're in a meeting and quickly need to change it? I'd expect a button on the main screen for that, at least.
    Have I missed something other than the volume controls on the side?

    There wasn't a manual with my iPhone - should there have been?
    If you bought it new, yes. Look in the cardboard divider that rests below the iPhone and above the accessories, Mine contains a brochure labeled "Finger Tips" and the FIRST picture shows the location of the four physical controls.
    It also conatins a guide to general use and maintenance in a brochure called "iPhone", and two Apple logo decals.

  • Z10 Phone Ring Going Silent Until Battery Pull, and Sometimes Loosing Its Knowing Its ID Information

    I had a number of instances where the phone would no longer ring. No ring, or notifications have been modified.
    The temporay fix is to do a battery pull and allow a full reset.
    I found this happens sometimes after installing and then uninstalling a downloaded program from Blackberry World formerly known as App World.  I also noticed this issue sometimes happening after updates have been installed.
    The unfortunate part of this is if the Bluetooth earphone is not being used calls will be missed because the phone will be silent. I found there was no ring because I had messages and callers displayed during periods where I should have heard the phone ringing.
    I also had issues where the phone lost the capability for it to know its ID. In this case the backup, or restore, and downloads will not respond. The fix is a battery pull.
    I had one time where the battery pull did not fix it. I had to re-install the OS for the phone to become normal again.

    Personally, I think this is a super deluxe great phone. I like everything about the Z10 from a user point of view. We have a number of these Z10 phones and love them. When the Q10 comes out, we may get a few to use as keyboard phones.
    I am thinking the OS was not exactly ready for release. There are some important missing issues and bugs that I have been running in to. I cannot see during testing that these bugs did not come out because there are many users who are having them.

  • How do i get find my phone to make a loud noise even though my phone is on silent

    cant find my phone - its on silent - i can hear it and find my iphone also is silent

    So it is not just the screen that died, but the whole phone? If the screen were defective, you could probably try to plug it to iTunes and restore the phone as new. If the phone is totally dead and unresponsive, there is not much you can do.

  • Notification (vibration) on Smartwatch 3 while phone is in silent or priority mode?

    Hi@all,
    i´m a bit confused about the notification system - is it not possible to get vibration notification on smartwatch WHILE the phone is in silent or priority mode?
    I´ve tried several settings but maybe i´m doing something wrong...?
    Greetings,
    SirRobin

    When you select silent you will not get any notification from Android Wear in your SmartWatch 3. If you select priority you will however get the notifications that you have enabled in priority mode.

  • Is there anyway to disable the chime when I accidentally catch the microphone icon while texting (phone is in silent mode)

    Hi all,
    I might be being a little dull here, but my question is exacly as in the title: Is there anyway to disable the chime when I accidentally catch the microphone icon while texting (phone is in silent mode)?  I have fat fingers occasionally and whilst people at work don't mind private phone usage to have it occasionally activating the mic and then me cancelling it a little annoying.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Dave

    There is a proximity sensor that should turn the screen off when you place the phone near your face.  Do you have a case that's blocking this?  Try removing your case.  If no case, try restoring you iPhone.  If still a problem, return it to Apple for a warranty replacement.

  • My iPhone 4s will not connect to my yahoo account following the recent update. It appears with Error 1032. I have tried deleting the account resetting my phone, changing the password - none of this has worked. Could you please provide me with some advice?

    I had this same problem with my new MBP 15", but only with the USB port on the left side. The USB port on the right side worked fine. Perhaps the ports on the left don't have enough signal energy for the iPhone.
    Anyway, try using a different USB port, and if that doesn't work, perhaps you could try a powered USB hub.

    Yes, I have the option "NONE" on my phone but what happens is that I have the incoming text without any sound (selected in "none") but when I send a text, still happens! that annoying sound!

  • My phone is on silent, but it shows that it should be on sound

    My settings show that I should have sound, but my phone is completely silent. how do I fix that?

    Have you checked to be sure you didn't flip the silent (mute) switch on the top left side of the phone?  (Red means it's set to silent.)
