Phone Volume buttons doesn't work when you receive a call while listening to music

It is surprising to see such a silly and annoying bug. I was listening to music at high volume. Then received a call when the phone was unlocked and on music player. Now the fun started. I cannot reduce the volume by the outside volume buttons where as the volume of voice stays same. Very annoying dis-pleasurable experience. Don't know if it is common on other iPhones but it happened consistently on iPhone6+.
Workaround - If we lock the phone and use the volume buttons then it reduces and increases sound successfully.

The point I am referring to is already when I picked the call the controls didn't switch to Phone App. The whole time Phone app is active on the screen volume is not reducing at all. Quirk of the system - there is no soft volume control on the phone app hence user has to use the Hardware side buttons only. When phone app is in focus and in control the volume controls should work. This is definitely a major bug.

    My sound has recently gone on my iphone4s, this only happens when I use my phone myself. The sound works when i receive a call or a message etc but I am unable to watch videos or play music, the sound also doesn't work on games. Please can anyone help with this issue or let me know how to fix it if experienced the same problem?

    Remove all apps from multitasking bar. Double click Home button then tap and hold an icon and tap on little x on every app. Then reset. Hold down Home and Power button until Apple logo appears.

  • Volume button doesn't work in locked mode on iphone5

    iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2

    Yes, that's the way it works on my 4 and 5s as well. Did you have a question?

  • TS1630 My iphone4 speakers will only work when I receive a call or factime, but for nothing else. Why?

    My Speakers on my iphone4 will only work when I receive a call or facetime, and are muffled when an alarm goes off. Other than that, I have absolutely no sound from anything- text, music, videos, games, etc. UNLESS I use headphone. My phone will vibrate with text messages, though. When I try to turn up the volume on the side, it doesn't register any bars- the space for the volume boxes is blank. Also, there is no volume bar in my music when I try to turn up the volume. I have tried restarting my phone numerous times, I have also checked and rechecked the switch on the side to no avail. Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas or know what might cause this?

    I tried this and noticed a little green inside the charging port. I panicked thinking it was corrupt, but found out if you lighting moisten the toothbrush with alcohol and gently scrub (with the power off) you can remove the green. I started inspecting one of our charging adapters, which had been giving us trouble, and it was very green inside. Not sure if it can transfer from one to the other?
    BUT now I have sound! Thanks for your suggestion, it helped!

  • I just got the iPhone 5.  It's completely synced and working.  All my contacts are loaded.  However, caller ID is not working when I receive a call or a text.  Can anyone help me out with this?

    I just got the iPhone 5. It's completely synced and working.  All my contacts are loaded.  However, caller ID is not working when I receive a call or a text.  Can anyone help me out with this?

    Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs.  See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
    One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings.  Then restore from the backup you just made.  That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
    But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do.

  • Can you increase the size of the photo that shows when you receive a call from a contact

    Can you increase the size of the photo that shows when you receive a call from a contact ?

    It used to be if you added the contacts photo on the iOS device they would have a large picture and if you added it from Address Book on OS X they would have a smaller thumbnail.  However, since iOS5, all I've been able to get is the larger photo.  Try adding the picture directly in the contacts app on your device.  That should make it larger.

    How to disable safe mode on xperia z1,power and volume button doesn't work

    Hi rafharum,
    Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    A simple restart to the device would generally resolve this issue, however if the power key and Volume key are not working they may very well be causing the handset to execute safemode when ever you power the device on.
    If this is the case, you will need to get the handset to a service agent for assessment. Please use the link below to contact Sony Mobile Customer Care directly.

  • In VI Logger, Beginning Of Data button doesn't work when viewing graphs

    This button doesn't work correctly when I view logged data. Instead of jumping to the beginning, it jumps to beyond the end of the data. The other 3 buttons work fine (scroll forward and backward and go to end of data).

    In order to provide a better answer, it would help if you could post the version of VI Logger you have (if you are not sure, you can find this out in Measurement & Automation Explorer under the Software folder) as well as the operating system you are using.
    I am running VI Logger v1.1 on a Windows XP machine and the four buttons all work properly when viewing the graph of logged data. There is a known issue where the behavior you saw, with the "Beginning of Data" button not working, has appeared on a system that runs a German OS. If you are running a comparable OS then this behavior might occur and there is currently no fix for it.
    If this is not the case for you then try to provide a little more information on your system and we can look into it further. T
    hank you!

  • The down volume buttons doesn't work on my iPhone

    My down volume button doesn't not work on my iPhone 5. What can I do to fix it

    Thanks, daniel.early79!
    I have an iPhone5 bought in late Dec 2012.
    I've noticed on rare occassions that the volume down button some times would not respond.
    Starting yesterday, the volume down button would not respond more consistently.
    Sometimes a reset would fix it, sometimes a reset network would fix it, but the problem would come back.
    Came across this thread, and pressing gently on the upper right hand corner fixed it!
    I remember seeing some video on Youtube or iFixit that shows how to replace the power button. It appears that the volume buttons and the power buttons are tied in together on the same piece of connector. I supposed taking the iphone in and out of cases may have warped or twisted the connector inside the case ever so slightly that the sensor for the down volume button got shifted.
    The down volume button works now, after doing the trick you suggested. I'll wait and see if it comes back before taking it in for warranty repair.

  • Submit button doesn't work when form is uploaded to website

    I created a form with a submit button that works well when I open the form from my documents.  However, once I upload that same form to my website, the submit button doesn't work.  Any ideas how this can be fixed?

    If the form is opened in the browser, it is probably using the browser's built-in PDF viewer (e.g., Chrome and Firefox), which likely does not support the submit action. It's possible to disable the built-in viewer and configure it so Adobe Reader is used to view the PDF and the submit button should work. This will be something each user would have to set up, so providing instructions is a good idea.

  • TA38625 how do you fix the device if the sleep/wake and the home button doesn't work and you are stuck at one page?

    i need my phone to start working again normally but i cant seem to find out how to fix it.

    I fail to see how oyu can even use your phone if both buttons are not working.  You would never be able to minimise one app and elect to use another.  I think it is time you got your phone fixed or replaced

  • My low volume button doesn't work on my Iphone 4, how can I fix it?

    Okay so I dropped my iphone in the parking lot garages of my apartment complex and the ground was cement, when i picked it up the screen wasn't cracked or anything so i thought it was okay but once i started listening to music and I wanted to lower the volume and so I pushed the low volume button but nothing happen....The high volume button works fine but now the low volume button so if you want to lower the volume on my phone now you have to do it manually....Also after the drop i turned off silent mode on the side and the clicking sound wasn't there and I checked in the settings, it said it was on and the volume was on but I heard no clicking sound!!! How can I solve these two problems? Can I go to an Apple Store and let them fix my iphone if I don't have AppleCare?

  • My down volume button doesn't work. How can I fix it?

    When I press the down volume button on my iPad 2 it doesn't work. It was working last night but not this morning. I didn't drop it or anything. I just got my iPad not even a year ago. How can I fix my down volume button?

    Well if you restore your iPad that might work. If its a software issue, it might solve it. If that doesn't work, it might be a hardware issue that apple can fix.
