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

  • My iPhone has a protective cover on it and I carry it in my pocket a lot.  Quite often when I take it out of my pocket the silent/ring switch is off and I am sure it was on when I put the phone in my pocket.  How can this be happening?

    Protective cover as in screen protector?  This would have nothing to do with the silent switch.
    If you're referring to an actual case though... take the case off and see if the problem continues.
    It may be as simple as the silent switch being lose, which will require a device replacement to resolve.

  • The silent/ringer switch and the volume control buttons stopped working, how can I fix this or do I just need to get a new phone?

    One day I relalized that the silent/ringer switch on my iPhone 4 stopped working. My phone is permently silent and I can't turn the ringer on. The speakers still work so they aren't the problem. Also, the volume controls on the side don't work either. Is this problem fixable or do I need to get a new phone?

    you can try the restore first to make sure it is nothing software related. makesure to back up information and restore as new. after that it is hardware if your with in the limited hardware warranty and can be replaced for free if you are not then it can be replaced for 149$ if it is a iphone 4 or lower

  • IPhone 6 silent/ringer switch not working

    When I try to put my phone on silent by switching the button on the left hand side.  It doesn't seem to do anything now?!?! 
    The button seems to work fine but its just not silent, I have tried just going into sounds and turning my ringer right down but you can still slightly hear it when it goes off.
    Obviously this wouldn't be a problem normally just for times when I need it on but on silent - ie work etc.
    Any ideas?

    Two options
    1. Get your phone looked at by Apple
    2. Invoke Settings - General - Accessibility - Assistive Touch - you can turn the mute off or on from there

  • Very flaky silent/ring switch URGENT

    the switch on the side of my iphone is very flaky like the connection is bad. when on silent, just the lightest touch will make it kinda freak out and vibrate alot and go back to ring then go back to vibrate. if it was in your pocket all day, the battery would die from all the vibrating
    please help anything

    Sounds like the connection is bad or the switch is faulty.
    Take it to your nearest Apple Store Genius Bar. Make an appointment to avoid wasting your time on this link: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    Or call U.S. iPhone technical support: 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466). hey can help you arrange a repair or exchange.

  • The ringer switch on side of iphone 4s has stopped working and is now turning itself from silent to ringer without me touching buttons. Will this be covered under warrent? I have had the phone less than 1 year.

    The ringer switch on the side of my Iphone 4S has stopped working and the phone is now turning itself on and off silent without me touching any buttons. Will this be covered under warrenty? I have had the phone for less than a year. Although I have had the screen replaced, and wondered if this may void the warrenty?

    Yes, the screen replacement (I am assuming by you our a 3rd party) voided your warranty.

  • The ring switch and the volume botton do not work what is theproblem ?

    The ring switch and the volume bottons do not work, what is the reason?

    When you say they don't work, what are you trying to do? When you say the ring switch, I'm assuming you are referring to the mute switch that turns the ringer off/on? What troubleshooting have you tried?
    The standard troubleshooting procedures for the iPhone are:
    Power off/on
    Reset
    Restore, first from backup, then as a new phone.
    IF that doesn't help, then you make an appointment at the nearest Apple Genius Bar and have them see if there is a hardware issue.

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE my iPhone so far, but ringer switch doesn't stop all sounds?

    With exception of a few concerns like somewhat low speakerphone and earpiece volume, no non-pinch zooming in maps, not being able to expand email contacts (to see the actual address), not having any auto-fill in Safari, and some stability issues (a couple Safari crashes on complex sites - to be expected until they collect enough bug data and make a patch)... I love my iPhone! After updating my OS & iTunes, activation took only a few minutes (early evening of the 29th) since I was an existing account holder. I did have a corporate discount on my plan and was worried I would be denied, but it went through just fine - fwew!
    So then, I'm in a movie theatre today during a dramatic, quiet passage, with the ringer switch off (I'm so polite! <bg>), and low and behold, here comes a clever marimba roll. Having not heard this other than in the ringer setup area, I wasn't sure what it was (still not). Hitting the sleep button on top didn't do anything... it bleeped 3 times, almost sending me out of the theatre in embarrassment. I don't have to go into the settings and turn off all the notices do I? The ringer off is supposed to stop ALL sounds, per Apple's site. Anyone experience this or have a solution?

    Per the manual, the switch doesn't stop the alarm clock from going off. Which is set to marimba by default.

  • Stubborn ringer switch and semi-crooked casing

    Hi
    My ringer switch is very difficult to switch back and forth. I just got this iPhone today as a replacement because my old 3G's ringer switched broke off. It's very annoying and doesn't glide nearly as well as my old iPhone 3G or my original iPhone.
    I also have another very annoying flaw. When you look at my phone straight at the screen, the black casing sticks out nearly a millimeter on the right side, and still sticks out slightly on the left. It feels very ugly to run your fingers
    Has anyone experienced either of these issues, and will these problems merit yet another replacement phone at the Apple store?

    Take it back. Physical problems mean replacement.

  • Silent Uninstall Switch for FlashUtil32_11_4_402_278_ActiveX.exe

    I know I can run 'FlashUtil32_11_4_402_278_ActiveX.exe' (found in 'C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash') manually, but I'd like to automate the removal process to avoid having the user click on anything.  (I want zero user interaction!)
    Are there any silent/unattended switches for FlashUtil32?

    Hi Pat & thank you kindly for at least responding to the thread.  I greatly appreciate it.
    For what its worth the -uninstall switch works for the following executables in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash:
    FlashPlayerPlugin_11_XXX.exe
    FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe
    FlashUtil32_11_XXX_Plugin.exe
    It does not seem to work for the FlashUtil32_11_XXX_ActiveX.exe.  However, as you pointed out, it does work with the uninstall_flash_player.exe, and that seems to get rid of the last remaining FlashUtil32_11_XXX_ActiveX.exe file (among other things I'm sure).
    Thanks!

  • EXEs without silent installation switches.

    Hi,
    In Config Manager 2012 R2, is there a way to install EXEs silently on workstations when the EXE itself dose not have a silent installation switch such as  /silent or /q apart form converting it to MSI,??

    My first step in this process is to install the application sliently via command line. If this does not work you will not successfully deploy the app with ConfigMgr. ConfigMgr is just the delivery mechanism.

    No.

  • XFCE + Compiz wall and ring switcher

    Hi
    I'm looking at running compiz with xfce but what I really want is the wall and the ring switcher from compiz. Is it possible to run just those two with xfwm? I'd like to keep the xfce panels (I run a bottom and top panel) . In the alternative, anybody got experience running the xfce panel and plugins with compiz?
    What is the wisdom or idiocy of doing this?
    emk

    Hi,
    I recently installed xfce and set up compiz. I was able to get the wall, expo, and ring switcher to work with xfwm and xfce panels.
    To get compiz to load on startup, I had to add
    compiz --replace ccp to the startup programs.
    So far, xfce and compiz have been working out well.

  • (3GS) When my ringer switch is on silent/vibrate, if anything touches or slightly brushes up against it, it vibrates constantly as if I am constantly flicking the switch on and off.

    It's getting to the point that when I am walking, my phone just vibrates constantly as the switch is touching the inside of my pocket. Is this a problem I need to sort out at the apple store or is it just software? If so, what do I do?

    Despite the switch being on the silent position, it's not on silent.
    Oh, and by the way, switching it on and off again doesn't work.

  • Deploying Adobe Reader 9.1.2 and 9.1.3 silently using switches in Langard

    I am having problems deploying the patches to Adobe Reader 9.1.0 using Langard 9.0 Build 20090709.  I deployed 9.1.0 without any issues using this switch: sAll /rs /l /msi" /qb-! /norestart ALLUSERS=1 EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES"
    I have tried multiple switches with the .msp packages.  I end of getting a Windows installer pop-up with switch examples in them in XP and 2000, Interactive Services pop-up in VISTA.  The updates do not install.
    I chose install with alternative credentials and put in the domain admin and password.
    If anyone out there has a working deployment of these updates done completely silent in Langard or now we are even open to active directory options also.  We have too many machines to be doing these at each work station.  Also, since they do not have admin privileges, automatic updates are not the answer.  Really for any enterprise.  Thanks.
