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.

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

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

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.

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.

Yosemite is very slow when i switch on. can someone say why and i can solve the problem??

yosemite is very slow when i switch on. ten or more seconds. why? how i can solve this problem??
Thanks riccardo.italy.

The following items or conditions can slow a Mac. Please see if any of them apply:
1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud or DropBox (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?
6) Did your financial institution ask you to install Trusteer EndPoint Protection (also known as Trusteer Rapport)?
If you can answer "yes" to any of those questions, you have some unneeded and performance-robbing software installed.

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!

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.

AEBS 802.11n, TC and APXn with 7.3.1 is very flaky indeed - cant connect -

HI Guys I think many of you on these forums have posted because you are having joyless experiences with the new APX 802.11n, the AEBSn and the TC not able to be managed via the AIRPORT UTILITY.app v5.3.2 with firmware 7.3.1 in the former devices. After a search there's many of these posts with people with the same issues.
I have these devices in my place so I have had lost of experience configuring these over the years:
1 x 802.11n AEBS, 1 x TC, 1 xUFO white AEBS, 2 x APXg's and lastly the problematic 1 x APX802.11n (one subnet and 2 x networks 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz)
I am at my wits ends trying to get the new APXn regularly responding to the AP utility.app (error reading configuration).
I have tried most of the remedies on these forums but they do not consistently solve the problems of the APX not responding to the AP utility.None of these have consistently worked:
• trying to factory reset it using the POWER ON+RESET and waiting for the amber flashes then green - butt this procedure NEVER WORKS to factory reset!
• using the reset button in any form (it doesn't do anything)
• connection through ethernet (sometimes works ).
• takes long to power up (than the older 802.11g)
• rest APXn back to factory defaults through the AP utility then ...
• downloaded 7.3 firmware - worse and wont work
• lastly I found that RESET+POWER ON then wait for 20 secs as as it powers up DEPRESS the RESET again and then it becomes readable.
Additionally, I have been unsuccessful in getting PORT FORWARDINg to work at all for the AEBS 802.11n with and without the TC in the mix. I had this working for several years with the White UFO AEBS ... It beats me.
I think the firmware is very very flaky and i have no resolutions for these recent problems.
Hope for a fix soon.
I will be polling these forums for any clues.

Hi Guys
REgarding the APXn's (802.11N Airport express) inability to consistently be seen by the Airport Utility.
this just worked finally for me now and have tested this 7 times and all seems ok now..
Simply: when APXN in list, save configs, reset to factordeafuts, downgrade to 7.3, upgrade to 7.3 and reinstate .configs.
UPdate: a probable work instruction that seems to consistently work.
Here is the work instruction i used.
(1) turn off all other WIFI base stations where you are that you can. (important I believe)
(2) turn off airport in your mac
(3) connect troublesome APXN to mac via ETHERNET cable. Set DHCP on your mac or some address in IPV4
(4) power off and on the APXn (yes again )
(5) whilst it is powering up, use a pen of toothpick to RESET the APXn again (i think this causes something to move around inside the magic-ware)
(6) the light will flash amber (no network to connect to)
(7) launch /utilities/airport utility.app
(8) the one and only APXn appears in the list
(8.5) optional: (cross fingers and legs :))
(9) when profile comes back, use FILE/SAVE a COPY AS to the ~/desktop to save the complete profiles and settings of what you have in there currently.
(10) select the one and only APXn and perform a airport utility.app/base station/ RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS - and wait for 30 secs and then it will restart
(11) when complete, quit and relaunch the /utilities/airport utility.app
(12) the APXN will be as when you bought it (pristine and no stuff in it from you)
(13) connect your mac back to internet via ethernet if possible. (avoid the wireless just to be sure but at this stage you could reinstate all your exiting wireless infrastructure)
(14) select the one and only APXn AGAIN and perform a airport utility/base station/ UPLOAD FIRMWARE and select version 7.3 (back level) . THe firmware will load into APXn 0%-100% guage and then it will restart.
(15) when complete, quit and relaunch the /utilities/airport utility.app and it will warn that one of the basestations (the only on the list - the APXN) has later FIRMWARE available for it. [This is 7.3.1].
(16) reply OK to UPLOAD NEW 7.3.1 firmware. (yes yes I realise ths sounds silly but it works ok ) 7.3.1 Firmware will up load into the APXN as above and restart will take place.. so say 120 seconds.
(17) quit and relaunch the /utilities/airport utility.app. THE APXN will appear as before as now with 7.3.1.
(18) just to make sure, (we're not quite finished), remove the ETHERNET cable. If not already done form previous optional step, ENABLE the AIRPORT (WIFI) on your mac.
(19) power OFF then power ON the APXn.. wait for the usual 70 secs..
(20) Again, to be sure, QUIT and RESTART the /utilities/airport utility.app, the APX as factory default with amber icon will appear in the list [along wit the rest of your apple airport base stations).
(21) Select it in the list fo MANUAL and the configuration will be read quickly.
(22) do this (steps 18-21) 3 or 4 times to see that it is consistent. (I this it 7 before posting this).
last step...
• select the APXN (default settings) and IMPORT the save configuration file (~/desktop/nnn.baseconfig) (all it) from the ~/desktop. Ignore any errors (untick them), add a password for the base station and UPDATE!
• wait for the usual 70 secs.
• without quitting the /utilities/airport utility.app, the UPDATED APXN with your configuration will be in the list.
NOw try and selectit for manual and it should respond in time without timing out.
Test by powering off and removing from wall socket and moving around too to make sure you can SEE it in the /utilities/airport utility.app and select it for MANUAL CONFIGURATION.
After many days of frustration on weekend and over night, this appears to have worked ok for me.
(now to work out the AEBSn port forwarding issue - it wont work).
HTH

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?
PM G5-Quad 2.5GHz | eMac G4 1.25GHz | PM G4 800MHz | PB G4 1GHz 17 | PM G4 400MH Mac OS X (10.4.5)

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

Nothing is attached.

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.
