Sound buttons and mute switch not working

My iPhone 4 has no sounds through the phone speaker except when I play music. It works fine through a dock or bluetooth in my car.
Also, the side 'sound buttons' do not work. ie - when I switch the mute switch to either on or off (and it becomes orange) nothing shows on the screen, also when I push the volume buttons up or down, nothing comes up on the screen.
I have tried: turning it on and off, resetting it, cleaning the charging port with a dry brush, checking the settings to make sure it should be playing sounds, inserting head phones a few times.
I have recently updated to the new 6.1 iOS update, but it was doing this before I updated it.
I can't think of anything notable that happened when it started doing this a few days ago. Seems random...
Also, my iPhone has had sound problems before (speaker crackling and not working) but the side buttons still registered on the screen, and also I could fix it by charging it.
Anybody got any handy hints?? Cheers.

It's ok, I fixed it.
I got an iPhone 5. Bravo to apple for making me buy another one of their products.

  • I have just replaced the headphone jack, volume button and mute switch ribbon in my sister's iphone

    As you see I replaced the ribbon on my sister's iphone. The volume buttons and mute switch dont work while the headphone jack works perfectly. Also it cannot find any wifi networks. Anyone having the same problem? This iphone has not been restored since it was bought. Or should she update to iOS7 maybe that'll help?
    Thanks

    Thanks but thats not gonna happen. Way too expensive, the company I bought the replacement off send me another one maybe its the ribbon. Im going to restore it first though.

  • All button and touch pad not working except power button

    I face the problems that all button and touch pad not working after power on or wake up from sleep state except power button. And i have make the system sleep and wake again so that the mac book air can working as normal( mouse can move and button got response).

    Sometimes electrical components needs to have all power sources removed and reintroduced to work properly.  Try performing a hard reset first, if it doesn't work then we'll move to the next step.
    To Perform A Hard Reset
    Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for  5 seconds); (if the computer doesn't power on, move to the next step)
    Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
    Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook.  There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
    Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
    Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.

  • I have installed windows 7 on my mac book, but sound card and cam is not working in windows wht to do?, I have installed windows 7 on my mac book, but sound card and cam is not working in windows wht to do?

    I am using Mac book with windows 7. But my sound card and cam is not working when booted through windows. How can I solve this?
    Thanks

    Assuming that you tried to install Win 7 in bootcamp.
    Power on the machine and press and hold the "option" key when you hear the bong sound.
    Select the Macintosh HD icon and press "return" or just click on the icon.
    Once booted into OS X go to System Preferences and select the Startup Disk icon and configure startup to use the Macintosh HD.

  • Sound, Restarting and Email Msgs not working

    Recently I have had problems where the sound just stops working.  The profiles are not changing and it works for awhile, but then I start to notice the red light flashing and no sound.  The only way to get it back is to do a hard reset (I've found).
    Also, my phone decides to restart a lot . . . why and how do I get it to stop?
    This morning, going into my messages folder where all my notifications go, I can click on any type of notification to see it, except for the email messages.  I click and it just does nothing.  I've already tried reseting and this has not worked.
    Please help!

    It's ok, I fixed it.

  • Red record button and play arrow not working for videos. Any way to make work again?

    Red record button and play arrow quit working. Any way to fix?

    Try this and see if it works for you. Close the Camera App in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once, then double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the camera app.  Tap the home button again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Sound Volume and Eject Keys Not Working

    I installed 10.4.3 from the DVD on a G4. After the installation the sound keys (volume up, down and mute) and the eject key on the Apple Pro keyboard no longer work. They also don't show up on the Keyboard Viewer.
    Anyone have a fix for this?

    I found some info on another website that indicated that having an outdated version of USBOverdrive can cause problems like this. I checked and sure enough I had that installed (I think my son did it and didn't tell anybody - not unusual...). I downloaded the newest version of USBOverdrive and the keyboard problem went away.

  • Portege M750 tablet, buttons and fingerprint functions not working in win7

    I have installed win7 64 bit ("fresh install" on my M750-129) and i have also downloaded and installed all the newest drivers from toshiba website.
    the device manager shows no problem / drivers needed, and trhings like HDD protection work well.
    However, i have four groups of problems i would love and appreciate to find answer:
    1) when i change the screen position to tablet, it does not change the orientation nor the resolution.
    There is no utility to set the desired orientations of screen as it was in vista (horribly unstable and slow OS, though).
    This, naturally, is diminishing the usefullness of the tablet finction
    2) the buttons do not work properly; the screen rotation button starts excel (!!) , the centre of mobility button starts word (!!), and the toshiba assistance button does not work at all
    3) fingerprints: the fingerprint utility lets me to screen my fingerprint, asks if it should save it, and than says "saving impossible; another duplicate pattern exists" which i completely do not understand what it means...
    4) some applications are not available at all after fresh install: face recognition, DVD player, bussines card screener - but i can love without those; 1-3 worries me much much more and i would appreciate any functional help. thanx on advance for any try!

    hi,
    helpful indeed - the installation of the tablet extension pack for vista , it helps to rotate when i switch for tablet even in win7 64 bit - thanxalot!
    as for buttons, the first left ones still launch ms word and ms excel....
    fingerprints: strangely enough, even if tghat was a clean installation, there were my old fingerprints (user "???") registered and it did not allow me to delete untill i found one little finger i did not register with viste BEFORE the CLEAN isnatallation with formatting the HD - is not that strange?
    however, the buttons i hope will be ok once the drivers will be updated by toshibq for win7 64 bit, the main issues were solved for me - thank you once again!

  • Quick launch buttons and touch functions not working post win7 upgrade

    I have several problems that I think are related.
    1) When I rotate the screen and then bring it close (as in flat) to the keyboard, the screen goes blank. There is no key combination I can find that restores the screen. Putting it back in notebook orientation doesn't do anything either. Only thing to do is a hard reboot.
    2) the quick launch buttons on the screen edge are not functioning as follows:
    a) the hp mediasmart button (the one with the wave) doesn't work
    b) the screen rotation button produces the same problem as 1) above
    c) the third button which looks like either gears or a sun (I don't know what it should do) brings up the windows mobility center, where I have found problem number:
    3) On tablet PC settings, the display tab, there is one display: 1. mobile PC display
    on the same tab, there is a setup button. The next screen says:
    pen input
    touch input
    Regardless which one I select, on the following screen (where it says Press this screen with ....) when I press with either my finger or the pen, nothing happens. Which seems like either:
    it thinks another screen is active or
    the touch components are completely non functional.
    4) Not surprising, the touch functions are completely non-functional
    I have installed all of the drivers for this TX2-1025dx for Win7(64bit) per the HP support/drivers page.
    Not all of them resulted in a clean install. 
    Here are other drivers that I had problems with (meaning that I got an error message, it failed, it had to be done more than once, something else broke, etc.)
    AMD AHCI  - started catalyst installer then failed
    Authentic fingerprint driver - "dpinst64 not marked for installation"
    Ntrig Duosense - had to do this one multiple times to get the fingerprint reader to work
    HP Mediasmart MVP - hung in CMD
    I have checked that all of the startup services are actually enabled in msconfig including quick launch buttons, hpwuschd, and media smart. Nothing is disabled in services.
    I have reinstalled the quick launch buttons driver for this product from December 2009. (There is an earlier version from November.)
    I installed the bios upgrade (before win7, actually) it is currently F.25
    I have also eliminated EMF possibilities.
    I have searched the forums, and while I have found some interesting clues, I don't see anything like this - at least with a solution.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as this thing is quite useless to me as it currently functions. It is not a tablet anymore.
    TIA

    [knock knock] Helloooooo??!!??
    Installed 6.50.9.1, which is in between the last two quick launch button (QLB) drivers (that did not work). Also fixed the lightscribe and mediasmart DVD installs. Same problems, no touch or pen, and a new bug I discovered with qlb
    First, if you search for tablet in the start menu, there is a selection to set the tablet buttons to perform certain tasks. When you run that, it says that teblet buttons are not installed on this pc. Doesn't matter if QLB is installed or not - same error. Hmmmmm. Check with your pc manufacturer..... I think I am doing that. I am starting to feel like I am working for HP.
    Next finding: Using mobility center, I found that if you orient the screen to landscape for the slate config, and then rotate the screen, it does not go blank. However, if you rotate the screen back to notebook, it goes blank. And of course it keeps that upsidedown config when you reboot, too. So, the way to recover from that (because you really need a keyboard if you don't have a working pen and touch takes 30 sec to respond) is to keep trying to get touch to orient the screen back to landscape for notebook. Then rotate the screen to landscape for notebook. And uninstall the QLB driver that doesn't work and reboot. But after that, touch and pen did not function.
    Since touch and pen had previously been restored when I uninstalled QLB, I reinstalled MVP and smartmenu coz they were the actions that I took the last time before touch and pen returned. Didn't work this time, tho.
    I decided to do a system restore back at the point that I had used HP Advisor, since that was the last time I made note that pen and touch were working. Restore failed because a sfi.dat file was not found (and search didn't find it anywhere either). I tried 5 different restore points, before and after that one, and they all failed. But the first time around, I had touch on the logon screen, just not after windows started. The next time, I had touch but not pen. The next time, I had touch and pen, but only for a period of time (I think HP Advisor may have been the intervening event) before they stopped working.
    Oh, and HP advisor does not appear to be actually installing the things on the action list. That could be an issue with Comodo, but it really looks more like an issue with that "mother may I" message from Windows asking for permission to run the program. Often as not, windows reports that the program is not responding. Closing the program with that dialog box actually gives it the kick in the knickers it needs to complete.
    A not so great workaround is to use the mobility center to orient the screen when you want to put the thing in slate mode. You can pin it to the task bar (with a little fiddling).  Touch is extremely slow to respond in slate mode. For example, it took about 3 minutes to get the screen oriented back around to notebook config, which is 4 "clicks" if things are working right. Pen works sort of OK (although I haven't tried any writing) . Gestures for scrolling do not work.
    I am done with the troubleshooting until someone comes up with other targeted ideas.I have been keeping detailed chrono notes.
    Again, I hope the information here leads to a solution. This unit is not a functional tablet and I don't want to stay with Vista, neither should I have to since this is supposed to be compatible.

  • Red track button and mouse does not work sometimes on start up and after stand by mode

    i recently downgraded my t61p from vista basic to xp pro.  all the drivers were installed but my mouse doesn't seem to work consistently.  if i turn it on, sometimes it doesnt move -- i then have to hit standby and see if it works after that..  sometimes it does
    also, if leave my computer on for a while -- it doesnt properly work then either
    any suggestions?  i've tried re-installing the drivers but doesnt do much.  
    any help is much appreciated.  thanks.  

    Hello,
    have you installed all recent windows updates like SP3?
    What kind of mouse are u using?The normal ultranav on your TP or a third party mouse? Bluetooth or cable?
    Some bluetooth mice are disconnecting after some time, also your USB port, when on battery can switch off to save energy.

  • Had problem with bookmarks, history, back button and google links not working.

    For the last five days i've had problems with firefox. First, i noticed that it was running incredibly slowly and then that all the links in the google search were not working. Then i noticed that neither was the history, bookmarks or back button. I went on to facebook chat to ask for help. First, I was told to reinstall firefox, which didn't work. Then i was told to do a "clean" install where you rename the old firefox folder in the programs folder so that it makes sure when it's installed that everything is new and nothing is corrupted. That didn't work either. I then disabled my antivirus software and firewall to see if that was causing the problem. It was not. Then I installed an anti-malware program to remove any adware or spywar,e which it did remove from my computer, but it didn't solve the problem. The chat person was at a loss and I don't blame him/her because so was I.
    The reason I'm writing this is in case anyone else has the same problem. The only way I solved it was first by uninstalling and making sure to check the little box asking if you want all personal data and such associated with firefox also removed (which removes cookies as well) and then I finally thought to delete all the cookies from the rest of my computer also. Once all the cookies were gone and i had fully uninstalled firefox and personal data, I reinstalled it with a newly downloaded file and it is once again functioning properly. Hope this is helpful to anyone who's been ripping their hair out. :)

    '''I have the same problem!!
    But in my case, not just Google links.
    The problem happens with all the websites links.

    You can force a reset by turning off your device.
    Depress call+end+camera buttons while powering on. Depress keys untill youre past the nokia hand shake logo screen and get prompt for pin, language/regin selection.
    This is known as the hard reset and will wipe your phonememory just as the soft reset (*#7370#).
