Ring/silent tab

I just got the 3G white iPhone last week and yes, I'm having reception problems and half of my calls when I'm in 3G mode are dropped, but this is another concern. There is a slight gap in the ring/silent switch when in the ring mode, that concerns me. I'm afraid dust and or moisture will get in the the phone eventually cause problems with time! I took it in to an Apple store and I was told all of the phones have that and they hadn't noticed it before. Has anyone seen inside one yet to know if the gap is covered inside or protected in anyway?

well to exclude any software problems :
Restore as new :

(afterwards test to check if issue is still there )
If issue persists call AppleCare or get an appointment at Genius Bar to exchange the device because it has hardware problems .

Iphone 6 ring/silent switch not working

The ring/silent switch on the left side of my iphone 6 is stuck in silent mode and when I try to switch it into ring mode it doesn't stick and just springs back down. Anyone else having this issue?

I am experiencing the same problem with my new iPhone 6 (16 GB, White-Champagne / Sprint).
The switch doesn't work as it should. (Silent or Ring Modes)
When switched the button doesn't change any setting.
Meanwhile at rare moments (has happened 2 times now) the phone quickly alternates between silent & ring modes (like back & forth 5 cycles within seconds) without any activation of switch or any function.
On hold as we speak with Apple tech agent though (1800MYAPPLE), the agent is escalating the problem to her senior tech supervisor we (the agent and I) are waiting for him/her. Will update with outcome shortly.

Shouldn't the ring/silent switch silence all sounds?

Shouldn't the ring/silent switch silence all sounds at a system level, including those made by third-party apps? That's how my Treo worked, and it worked well.
(I'm aware that clock alarms still ring, regardless of the setting, as pointed out in the user manual: that's a nice feature in case someone forgets and leaves the switch set to "silent.")
But for example, I was in a long meeting the other day, and the topic veered to something in which I wasn't involved. I whipped out my new iPhone, set to silent, and decided to give Scrabble a whirl. You can guess what happened: its lame startup sounds made every head turn. I gave a sheepish look.
Should my beef be with Scrabble's developers, or with the iPhone 3G itself? Annoyingly, there's no way to silence Scrabble's startup sounds, even if you turn off all other in-game sounds, so that's just plain annoying. But it still seems to me that I should be able to keep the in-game sounds (which I like) on, but silence them with the hardware switch when needed.
UPDATE: Found this thread, which addresses my question. Reading through it, I think it's Apple's responsibility to invoke a system-wide mute (with the exception of clock alarms) when the switch is set to silent.

I too assumed the phone mute button would silence the speaker in all places. I thought that's what it's for. But I wrote to EA for the Scrabble issue. I got a dumb generic response. Now today I got a servey asking me to rate their serivce response. Oy!

Why there is no ring tone tab in my itunes, why there is no ring tone tab in my itunes

why there is no ring tone tab in my itunes, why there is no ring tone tab in my itunes

Is the "Tones" box checkmarked in the iTunes General preferences?
You don't need to repeat your question multiple times, by the way. Once is sufficient.

Disabling the external ring/silent switch on a 3G

Is there any way to disable the exernal Ring/Silent switch so it cannot go into the Silent mode using that switch.?
When I slide the phone out of its case, my thumb catches the edge of the Ring/Silent switch and moves it to the Silent position without realizing it. Now after the phone is reinserted in the case, I dont hear an incoming call because its vibrating instead. Vibrating in the case while hanging on my belt doesn't get my attention at all and I miss the call.

Your only solution is to get another case that doesn't make you grab the phone at the switch. (Be sure it's specifically designed for the 3G phone so that it doesn't block the proximity sensors.)

IPhone ring/silent switch doesn't work.

Weird problem. My colleague has an iPhone 3G which worked fine for over a year. But recently it developed a problem, its ring/silent switch doesn't really do anything. Earlier it showed an image on the screen notifying the change of mode. But now nothing happens.
The phone was not dropped and was not exposed to any shock as it is permanently kept on his desk, he never takes it anywhere (yes, even I find that weird ).
What could be the problem? He's very worried. Can someone help please?

hi there,
hope your problem is sorted but if not you could try the following tip i posted to a similar question:
for anyone who's iphone buttons (hardware) are not working, there is something you could try w/out taking your phone apart.
go to settings --> general--> accessibility-->turn on assistive touch
this results in a small on screen touch activated version of your home button popping up on your screen - press it to see options such as : home. if you press it then select device, you will see further options such as mute. hope this helps.. would love to know how you go...
good luck!

Iphone ring/silent switch has stopped working

My iphone 3gs ring/silent switch has stopped working, whenever i switch it over to silent, it vibrates but then flickers between ring and silent and then ends up staying on ring, even when it is in the silent position. HELP!

Have you dropped your phone? Is it still under warranty? Does sound like a physical hardware issue, and I doubt anyone here can help further than telling you to make an appointment at a genius bar and get it fixed or replaced if allowed.

Menu ring for tab control

Hi,
I use a tab control which got in the meanwhile more tabs than could still all be displayed simultaneously. That's why I would like to use a menu ring instead of the tabs in order to control which tab will be displayed in the forefront. However, I could not yet figure out how to change the "page label display" of the tab control into a menu ring. Have a look onto my simple example. I guess you agree that my current solution doesn't really look like a pull down menu although it works like one. Any hint how to improve the design?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Here's an example that is based on an example that ships with LV. I cleaned it up a bit so it would look mre like a "real" application. It's not great from the standpoint of code design (No error handling for instance) but it shows how these plugins could work.

Where is the ring tone tab in itunes

I followed some instruction on creating a song clip, saving it, creating it as m4r in the finder window, but when clicking on it in the finder window as directed, it is not detected as a ring tone in itunes. In fact I do not see a listing for ring tones on the itunes margin list. How do I make an itunes song a ring tone? Thank you.

Thanks!

I keep my iPhone on silent always with the vibration on but it is now not vibrating even though my silent tab is set to vibrate

My iphone is always on vibrate only. now it is totally silent with no vibration happening for calls or texts.

Go to settings/sounds and make sure vibrate is set to ON. If it is try holding the home button and the sleep button together until the apple logo appears and then let them go. This is a reboot

Nokia 820. Want to have Ringer Silent But Alarm At...

I can't find how to do this. If I turn my ringer all the way down it still vibrates and I'd like it not to. And I'm not sure if the alarm would still go off. I'd like to sleep undisturbed by text messages and calls but still have the alarm go off for the time at set it will all the bells and whistles to wake me up. Can anyone tell me how to do this and also how to silence my phone's ring AND vibrate without turning it off or switching to airplane mode? The alarm with phone silenced is most important, but I'd like to turn off all other indicators without switching off the phone also. Thanks a lot!
Dylan Cole

I didn't think you could set the alarm volume separately from all other volumes which is what OP is asking. There may be apps which do this, I had a look at 2 or 3 of the free ones but didn't use any of them so not sure.
They all have to be kept permanently alive as the system won't allow them to replace the inbuilt one so a drain on battery but as the instructions got one said you can keep phone plugged in overnight

IPhone 5s ringer icon does not appear when switched to silent or back on

What's going on with my iPhone 5s? I've had iPhones since 2008. On all of them the ringer icon appears when I switch the ring/silent switch the ringer bell icon appeared on the screen, with a slash through it for silent and with no slash for on. The image icon originally appeared on my 5s but has stopped doing so. Everything else seems to be working fine. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Is there some setting I'm unaware of?

Jennifer,
Check to make sure that the Deleting Apps restriction has not been enabled To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions.
If that is the case, remove the restriction, then delete the App. Lastly, make sure the App is not set up to sync to the iPod via the iPod's Application tab in iTunes.

Want to get rid of silent ring tone for unknown calls

Since installing iOS 6, my iPhone 4S rings silently when the incoming call is an 'unkown number'. How can I turn this off - I keep missing calls!

Hi JoeWi
Did you ever get to the bottom of this problem? I'm getting the same on my new toy!

Silent/ring Switch Pressure Issue

Hi,
I've got an iPhone 3GS, still under warrenty. I'm having a small issue with the ringer/silent switch. If I switch it down onto silent and apply a little finger pressure to the top of the case, just left of the headset call speaker the silent mode goes off and back onto silent again when I let go.
Can I ask if this is a common issue and what I need to do to fix it?
Thanks
Ben

Thanks for the info Paul,
I read what you said and decided to give UK support a call, I asked if they could repair my device under warrenty and they said I could just send it in for repair or replacement if need be
Thanks for your help again
