Volume button weird behavior?

When I try to raise the volume using the side buttons on my iPhone 3GS from the home screen, the 'speaker' icon appears, but instead of having the little squares on the bottom that tell you the volume level, it doesn't show anything - it's the same icon you get when switching from vibrate to non vibrate, except i also says ringer on the top.
What can I do?
When I go to the settings->sounds, and i manually change the volume using the touch control, after I touch the volume bar with my finger then I can control this bar using the side button, but otherwise it never works! isn't this weird??

what device are you using? sounds more like a hardware issue to me, so you might be better off taking your phone to Nokia Care if it is a recurring issue

My macbook had a weird behavior on the display, now it won't go further than gray loading screen with the apple logo

My macbook had a weird behavior on the display, now it won't go further than gray loading screen with the apple logo. It's a macbook pro early 2011. I've read that those are having issues, if there's someone i can contact for further information, report the issue since it's getting common or any temporal solution available. Thanks

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

However, when i lower it, my safari tab goes out of the screen. What do you guys think i should do? I'm getting very nervous.

Volume buttons interfere with firefox plugins

Hey there ThinkPad community!
Recently I have noticed that when using the Adobe Reader Plugin for firefox the volume won't change anymore upon pressing the volume buttons. The onscreen display pops up showing the current volume yet it won't increase or decrease. When pressing the mute button nothing happens at all. This behavior only occurs when the focus is set on the plugin (i.e. I have clicked somewhere on the PDF)
Also when I am watching a flash video like this one: German News (and again the focus is on the plugin) odd things like video pausing will happen whenever I press or hold one of the three volume buttons. At least then the volume does change.
Is this a problem of firefox or is it one of the ThinkPad drivers?
I am using firefox 11.0
Adobe Acrobat plugin version 10.1.1.33
Shockwave Flash plugin version 11.1.102.62
on a X201t with Windows 7 Professional 64bit SP1
I will tell You the versions of the "volume button control programs" if You tell me which ones those are.

Hello TheMan and welcome to community,
The issue is with the software compatibility with firefox.
Kindly install the updated hot key and power management driver and check if it resolve the issue.
Best Regards,
Tanuj

TS3694 volume button not working

I updated to 6.0.1 a couple of weeks ago. Immediately I noticed my phone would not pick up my wifi signal at home. It would start searching for a signal and I would have to continually manually selecting my signal every time I return home. Even after doing this it very very slow on downloading anything. Additionally, about 4 days ago my volume button stopped working. My phone will ring when a call comes through but I cannot hear videos or music and my alarm app cannot be used. I tried backing up, syncing and finally restoring it but nothing seemed to work. Help!:(

I also want to add that I am able to adjust the volume while on a call. And if I am on a call and log onto YouTube during the call then I can hear the YouTube video. Weird. Same with music too, if I am on a call I am able to go to my ipod and turn on the music and hear it but once the call ends the sound goes off. Not that I'm trying to listen to music and watch videos when I talk on the phone but just noticed this phenomenon....:/

SL510 volume buttons not working on windows 8 64

I have updated my SL510(2847-7LG) to Windows 8 64Bit.
- HotKeyFeatures 3.84.2000
- Human Interface Device Access Service is running
Sadly if I press the mute Button nothing happened.
the volume Buttons working well.
So I found the following behavior:
If I press the Mute Button and then one of the volume Buttons(increase/decrease) the System will be Muted.
But the Mute Button itself doesn't work.
I tryed reinstall the Hotkeyfeatures several times but the Problem persists.
Would be great if someone could help me fixing this Issue.
Thanks in advance,

I have the same issue with SL500 ..Although link readme says the driver is meant for win 8 64 bit, it fails to install. "This program does not support this system" - it is what I get when running the setup.

IPhone volume button

I have been experiencing a weird behaviour on my iPhone since yesterday. As every one aware the volume up/down button is sensitive , and the down button is too sensitive in my iPhone (Sometimes I won't even feel I am reducing the volume) . It's happening frequently from y'day that , my ringer volume is reduced to max low without even touching the volume button (When I am on the screen as well as off the screen). If it happens when I am on the screen , ringer icon stays on top for some time (app 1 min). When I tried to increase the volume , its not allowing me todo so. If I give about 5 mins ,every thing back to normal.
I am suspecting , the down volume button getting struck in some position and causing this behaviour or Is it do with the firmware upgrade(1.1.1), I did 2 days back. Could any please advice how to proceed on this??
Thanks

Everyone is aware it is sensitive...I don't think that is the case. I own two iPhones and both have volumn buttons that are not sensitive. I have never accidently changed the volumn and when I do try it takes a good amount of pressure for a click of the buttons (not saying I have to push hard, but it is by no means sensitive). It could just be you got a iPhone that just happened to be sensitive. If it a big concern to you, I would suggest an Apple Store where you can show them it is sensitive. They may swap phones for you or at least fix yours.

Powerline Adaptor Question / Volume button

hi there, got BT Vision a few days ago. You know the plug socket that is on the powerline adaptor whats that for? Can i plug anythig in that like a plug? as its quite wide you cant plug in next to it so perhaps thats what its for?
also my controller works fine, every button, but volume up makes it go to a weird teletext thing and volume down switches it to analogue TV which is a bit weird. any ideas?

You can use the plug socket on the power line for anything. Its there to replace the one you have used to power the device.
Regarding the volume buttons, it sounds like the remote is programmed incorrectly for your television and use need to enter the correct code for the remote so that it send the right signals to the televison for volume up/down. The list of the codes, and how to programme the remote, are in teh vision instruction manual - alternatively post back, on this forum, with teh make and model and someone might be able to supply teh correct code.

Title Button Weirdness

Dear fellow DVDSPers,
I'm currently making a DVD that includes 4 episodes of a TV show on each disc and 5 chapters for each episode. I linked everything up correctly and set the Title button for the disc to be the Main Menu. Well after I made the first batch, the quality control guy here found some weird behavior with the Title button. If he navigates to one of the scene menus, and plays a chapter, then scans all the way through to get to the end, it end jumps him back to the scene selection menu, which is what it should be doing. If he then pushes Title, it starts playing the episode from the beginning. If he pushes the Title button before playing any of the scenes, it takes him back to the Main Menu, same goes for if he pushes it during the episode itself.
I can't explain it to him. I have no idea why a button would change it's operation based on playback. He's watching it off of a Toshiba CRT TV with built-in DVD and VHS player, so the other editor and I are inclined to say it's that particular DVD player since it works 100% fine in my MacBook Pro and in the Sony DVD player I have hooked up to my DSR-11 and thus my monitor. The other editor just suggested to me that I include a Default Button on the Main Menu, and that maybe that's the problem, so we shall see once I encode that and burn another copy, but outside of that, any other ideas?
-Brian

I think that's exactly how it is supposed to happen...
The Title button is a direct link to your top menu. In effect, it's a specialised menu call. The menu call works like a resume function, i.e. if you play a clip and press the menu button you go to the menu for that clip. If whilst in that menu you press the menu button a second time, you resume playback from where you were. At this point, different players may vary, but you see the same clip playing again. Others may see slightly differently, but in effect you've gone back to the track. Like a resume. The important factor here is that you've played a track and the resume information has been stored.
If you navigate to a sub menu anywhere in the structure and then press the Title button you'll go to the title menu - in your case, the main menu. In this situation you've not yet played a track, so no resume info is stored and so to the top menu you go.
I may have misunderstood what you've described, and I may not have got the explanation quite right, but in essence you are seeing what you should be seeing from the description you've given of the structure you've used

T550 volume buttons not working on YouTube

When I am watching a YouTube video in Firefox, the volume buttons on my ThinkPad have no effect when the focus is on the flash plugin. If I click somewhere else on the webpage, they work.
I followed the suggestion here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Volume-controls-are-sporadic/td-p/863519
Oddly, this worked for about a day or two but now just causes the Flash plugin to crash when I use the volume buttons, so I reverted the change.
I am using version 8.51.01 of On Screen Display and 17.0.0.169 of Shockwave Flash. Does anyone have any ideas? It would be nice if I could disable this "smart" behavior altogether.

That information's more than a little outdated
I haven't used that tweak in a long time.
Currently I'm running the Youtube Center addon and have it set to disable all keyboard shortcuts on the page.

Using side volume buttons

I cannot seem to find any information about this, but plenty of games seem to be using it.
How do I set the volume inside my app using the side volume buttons and the mute button?
Thanks,

In the core audio overview, it says:
iPhone OS has six audio session categories, described in “Audio Session Categories” in System Audio Services Reference. The first and second in this list indicate that your application’s audio is low priority; you intend for the audio to be mixed in with any other audio that may be present:
kAudioSessionCategory_UserInterfaceSoundEffects—For brief sound effects, such as explosions in a game or tap feedback.
kAudioSessionCategory_AmbientSound—For longer-duration background sounds, such as rain, engine noise, or bird songs.
The other four categories indicate that your audio is of high enough priority that you want sounds from built-in applications to stop when your application starts:
kAudioSessionCategory_MediaPlayback—For any audio or audio plus video media playback.
kAudioSessionCategory_LiveAudio—For a live performance scenario, such an application that simulates a piano or guitar.
kAudioSessionCategory_RecordAudio—For recording audio.
kAudioSessionCategory_PlayAndRecord—For an application that records and plays back audio simultaneously.
Each of the six categories has implications for:
Whether your audio will mix with that of other applications, or silence them.
How your audio will behave when the user adjusts the volume buttons and the ring/silent switch.
How routing changes, and whether audio will stop, when a user plugs or unplugs a headset, or docks or undocks their device.
Your application’s priority for managing hardware parameters including sample rate and I/O buffer size.
The precise behaviors for these facets of an audio session are not under your application’s control, but rather are set by Core Audio. Apple may refine this behavior in future versions of iPhone OS. Your best strategy is to pick the category that most accurately describes your intentions for the audio behavior in your application.
So it looks like you can't directly control audio based on the switch, but can indirectly.

Iphone 4 volume buttons not working

iphone 4 volume and mute buttons not working, checked all settings they are all fine and when headphones in it works??? When I take out headphones the volum buttons do not work, when phone rings or text receives only vibrates???? HELP!!!!

This could be due to some debris or dirt inside the headphones jack that makes the iPhone think that the headphones are connected even when they are not.
Try to see if you can clean the jack being very careful, with canned air as sold in electronics store. Some people have been successful by introducing and withdrawing the headphones jack several times in a row to displace whatever is in there if it is lodged in.
Avoid introducing anything else like a pointed object. You could damage the jack.
If all of this does not work, I would try first resetting the phone by holding the home button and the power button together for about 15 seconds or until the whilte apple appears, then waiting until the phone resets. If the problem continues after this, take it to an Apple Store to see what they believe should be done.

Hp envy 6 1040EW audio volume buttons don't work

hello, i'm new to the forum
i have a problem with my HP Envy Ultrabook 1040EW with the volume buttons (f9, f10 and f11 )
they will only work when i have opened the beats audio application or i've clicked on the speaker sign
were you can slide the volume up and down.
if anyone has the answer or the same issue please reply.
Thank you very much

BartB,
Access the BIOS menu and reset the factory defaults.
1.       Shut down the laptop
2.       Restart it and tap the F10 key repeatedly
3.       It should lead you into the BIOS menu
4.       Press F9 to load defaults and then F10 to save and exit
The compuer should then restart and take you back to your main desktop screen. Once there test out those 3 keys.
Please respond back with your results.
Thanks

My volume buttons have ceased to work when I want to use the built-in speakers, however they will work when I use my headphones....help!

This thread concerns IOS 7.1.2. update and the subsequent loss of volume button functionality and use of internal speakers.
Please can someone help from the mac team!
It's not a jailbreak phone. The phone is a replacement from Apple and the volume buttons are virtually won't work for certain functions on the phone. Here are the symptoms:
When the volume buttons are pressed on the home screen i get "ringer" and the speaker symbol appear but nothing more (ie. +/- volume)
When playing back from iTunes with no headphones in, I get nothing through the internal speakers, nor do the volume buttons work, nor is the volume slider visable.
When i playback Youtube content with no headphones in, I get nothing through the internal speakers, nor do the volume buttons work, nor is the volume slider visable.
With headphones plugged in sound is audible and volume buttons work.
Whilst using voicemail, (no headphones connected) i can play the message through the speakers and control volume using side buttons.
I have restored the phone and this has not fixed the problem.
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.2. upgrade

Hey there jeremy,
It sounds like your Volume buttons aren't working correctly and you are also not getting sound from your built in speaker. I would start by quitting all the running apps on your phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How do you increase the voicemail volume on an iPhone 4s ( Verizon ). The phone volume is fine. It is when I retrieve voicemails. Even the speakerphone is faint. I have adjusted the side volume buttons and the volume control in settings.What am I missing?

How do I increase the voicemail volume on an iPhone 4s ( Verizon )? The phone volume is fine. I have adjusted both side volume buttons as well as the volume control in settings.

Number one - that person has given you false information...the Apple store genius bar supports all Apple products whether in or out of warranty. Checking is free, service on an out of warranty item is not free.
Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
Since you show that you have iOS 7.0.3 you might want to update that iOS to 7.0.4...plug the iPhone in so you are on a solid power source, then while on a WiFi go to Settings > General > Software Update and update to 7.0.4.
