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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • When I am on a call and I come to hang up, the phone which when to my ear has a black screen, starts to light up then blacks out intermittently and in the brief moments it is lit up, the hang up button doesn't work unless I press home or lock buttons firs

    When I am on a call and I come to hang up, the phone which when to my ear has a black screen, starts to light up so I can see and click the hang up button, but it then blacks out intermittently and in the brief moments it is lit up, the hang up button doesn't work unless I press the home or lock buttons first

    Wow- thanks Jim! I removed the case and voila... it worked. Knock on wood that you solved my problem with such an incredibly simple solution. I'll find out where this proximity sensor is and make sure my case does not interfere with it.
    Thanks so much.

    I have an Iphone 3GS which I have to restart. But the sleip/wake button doesn't work. What can I do to get it restarted then?

    If the iPhone is on and working, one way is to Reset Network Settings. Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

    I have an iPod Nano 6th Generation for just over three months and the down volume button is sticking.  Does anyone have a recommendation for resolving?

    Dont buy this model again, this is the most common problem and i have gone through 4 of these 6th gen nanos all with the same problem.  You can find youtube videos that show you how to fix it yourself but you run the risk of breaking your ipod, also opening the ipod voids any warrently.

  • My sleep/wake button doesn't work on my iPhone 4 is there any apps I can download to make it sleep

    My sleep/wake button doesn't work on my iPhone 4 is there any apps I can download to make it sleep

    There isn't anything you can do about that except to get the sleep/wake button fixed. It is an integral part of the phone and is used for troubleshooting steps as well. Using a device without one is just waiting for trouble. However, if you want to, you can go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch. Then to lock the phone, tap on the Assistive touch button, tap on Device, then tap on Lock screen.

  • IPhone volume button doesn't work?

    The increase volume button on the side of my iPhone 4 doesn't work. Now my phone vibrates, but I never hear it ring. Any solutions?

    Yes, I have checked the mute button. I have toggled between the up and down buttons, to no avail. Looks like I need to go to the Apple store -ugh! Thanks

    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.

  • Up Volume button doesn't work!

    Hello,
        Recently I dropped my BB into the river while fishing.   I dried it out and everything still works except the UP Volume button.  Does anyone know of an app that can control the volume using the touch screen or the keyboard?  I've searched all over and found nothing.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    From your description, I cannot tell if you fully performed all of this process...therefore:
    REMOVE YOUR BB BATTERY NOW!!!
    Run, don't walk, to this FAQ:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Got_Your_BlackBerry_Wet%3F
    Do everything it says, including waiting the maximum recommended time. Applying power to your BB between it getting wet and doing this process reduces the chances of success. Further, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later. And every thing in between.
    Good luck!

  • 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.

  • HT1430 How do you turn off your phone if the sleep/wake button doesn't work anymore?

    How do you turn off your phone if your sleep/wake button doesn't work anymore?

    If a reset doesnt fix it (which it wont - that is likely a hardware issue), then get warranty service.
