Volume slider keeps dissapearing - iphone 5

I Have an iPhone 5 and am having issues with the volume slider, as it keeps dissapearing.
Restatying rting the phone by holding down the home and standby button temporarily fixes the issue but it doesn't take long for it it come back.
Cant hear any sounds other than when the phone rings or an alarm is going off.
the slider reappears though when headphones are Inserted.
A couple of months ago I took my phone to the Apple Store for them to clean out both the headphone hole and the charging hole as they were full of dust, coukd this be related to my new issue?

Hey dargan,
Thanks for the question. Dust and debris can definitely lead to this issue. If there is any sort of debris in the headphone or lighting port, the phone might think that there’s an accessory connected. For more information, see this resource:

The volume slide keeps disappearing.

The volume slide keeps disappearing and i click on the airplay button and it gives my the option of AppleTv and Dock Connector but it's not connected to a Dock. The sound works when i connect headphones/earphones and also works when i DO connect it to a dock, it hasn't seemed to effect the calls either but notification sounds and playing music/videos in apps or iPod don't always work. This only happenes 70/80% of the time...

Iphone volume slider has disappeared

The volume slider on my iphone has disappeared and it wont play music from itunes, apps, videos or anything else I've tried. I have tried using the external volume controls on the side and its not on silent. I have also tried resetting a couple of times but this hasn't helped.

I had the same problem. My iPhone recognizes that it is connected to a music dock and the phone speaker won’t work.
It’s definitely a hardware problem APPLE could have solved by software. With that problem when using VIBER you can select the sound output either to music dock, earpiece, or phone speaker. APPLE just needed to implement the same in the phone SETTING.
So how to solve without APPLE support? (Getting APPLE support is best but in my case the nearest APPLE store is hundreds of kilometers from my residence, so not worth enough). First I cleaned the connector pins and put a silicon dust cap (with two tongues) which more or less squeezes the inner connector pins and the volume slider and sound was back. When I remove the cap for charging the volume slider and sound disappear again (not immediately but sooner or later).
Since whether connected to a music dock or not is recognized by the resistance between two pins on the connector, for me it seems that the cap made the resistance go to infinity which was close to the dock connection value without (why, I have no idea, the air moisture?).

Lost the volume slider

After installing the newest version of iPhone this afternoon I have lost the volume slider. Any help would be appreciated.

Volume slider won't work after app installation.

Dear all,
I have tried to search for this topic but as I’m not sure what is happening, it is hard to pinpoint the topic. PLEASE RE DIRECT if possible.
I have recently installed 2 applications to my IPhone 3Gs (separate installation days) and since then each time I use the installed app, I can’t use the volume slider on my IPhone's IPod?
It will randomly turn loud then quiet and if I use my finger to on the slider it returns to its starting position when I let go??
I have tried uninstalling the applications in question and re-installing them via my laptop and even tried downloading them via both 3G and WiFi but still have the same effect.
P.S. I have a video of this happening if that would help and it also works fine if I restart the phone but as soon as I use the apps again I’m back to square one. I would just stop using them but one is Real Football 10 which I paid £3.99
I have even raised a report on the two applications via the app store but have been told to restore phone to factory settings and see if that works? (I haven’t tried this as it is my last resort)
Can anyone help me with this??
Much appreciated

my little piece of advice is to remove your said app from your iphone/ipod and wait for their update which I hope will fix this issue.
I have had this problem from one of the app from clickgamers which I installed that triggered my volume slider,no choice but to remove them from my iphone/ipod and my gadget back to normal,just to bad I can't play my favorite game anymore unless they do the update to fix the issue

Volume Slider in Sound Settings Keeps Changing!

I usually keep the volume slider in settings/sound at max so I can hear the ringer when I have it on. I always did this with my original iphone and I had no problems with this. With the new phone every time I set the slider to max it will revert back to about 2/3 the way across. It does this every time I put the phone to sleep and then reawaken it, every time I take or make a call, essentially every time I do anything after exiting the settings feature. I have done the reset by holding the top button along with the Home button until the Apple logo appears and this doesn't help either. Has anyone else seen this or have a solution?

I just noticed this on my wife's iphone which was my original iphone that has been updated with the new software. I'm thinking it has something to do with the new software, that phone never did that with me prior to all this.

"jittery" iPod volume slider in iPhone 3gs

Hi
I bought my iPhone 3gs a couple of months ago.
I love all the great features it has and I can honestly say my life has become much simpler with this product
However, I have a minor concern.
Just sometimes, when I am listening to music on my iPhone, the volume slider acts all funny.
By acting funny meaning the little circle slider gets all jittery and I can't control the volume. It acts all strange and messed up.
Thankfully I can "reset" the iPod part.
But it gets really annoying to do that everytime it happens.
I have the latest software update installed, and I still have this problem.
Does anyone else have this strange bug?
Hopefully Apple can listen to my minor concern.
Thank you for reading.

I have the same problem on my iphone the volume slider desappears or hide off when its not conected at the dock. The thing is that I can make a calls with not problem and I can hear the ring but if my iphone its not in the dock I can not play music either videos. Its the only way to fix it.. doing a restore and update ??? because if I do that my phone it's gonna get blocked. and also a message appears ( this accessory is not made for this iphone ......swich a airplane mode blablabla..) I dont know if it's the same problem?
please someone help me
thanks

I suppose that you can demand all you want. It would have to be proven that the iOS update broke this particular function but it could also be said that it was just a matter of time that the broken thing manifested itself. Since the phone is out of warranty, it could also be said that it is your risk to update software. I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but we are not Apple. We are users like you and just try and provide support to other users. What you decide to do from here is your decision. I've given you all I know to do.

My volume slide on my itouch keeps sliding down to silent???

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Done
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPhone 5 iOS 7.0.2 Music app - volume slider slides to maximum when skipping tracks.

Hi all,
Wonder whether any other customers getting this?
iPhone 5 UK iOS 7.0.2 music app - when skipping tracks (or even selecting tracks) volume slider slides to maximum volume by itself intermittently. I have noticed with EU Volume Limit 'ON' in music settings or Volume limiting 'on' this behaviour occurs. I've turned off volume limiting and now it appears to work normally.
I did restore as new iPhone via iTunes at iOS 7.0 and had this behaviour followed by update to iOS 7.0.2 via iTunes and same problem.
I can't decide if this is a hardware or software problem?
Thanks all!

Yep - deleting anything that's not purchased on itunes when I try to play it.
This is terrible, and especially a pain when they're things like limited edition albums where tracks are only available direct, so going for iTunes match is not gonna help.
Only other variable to consider is that I installed the "Groove" app to try out a few weeks ago, and played music with it twice. Highly doubt this is related, however non-iTunes purchased tmusic tracks also show up there and now *crash the phone* when I try to play them so it's something system-wide.

This is making me really mad I have an iPhone 4s and all off a sudden the volume slider disappeared and now it won't let me turn up my volume I have reset restored done the tooth brush trick blew into it and everything an it still wont work someone help!!

Is that the only solution? This just happened to me last night and I though that maybe it was just acting up and it would be fine this morning but it wasnt..

My iphone volume turns down randomly own its own. It will turn up on the buttons, but will turn back down by itself and i have to fight the volume to keep it from muting. Plus, the mute logo stays on the screen when it mutes itself. Please help.

Unfortunately this is probably a hardware issue and you will need to take it to an Apple Store.

IPhone Volume slider goes wonky after charging!

Ok; I have a WEIRD question. (then again, when isn't a tech question weird? Nevermind.)
So, I have a completely babied iPhone 3GS. Never fallen even an inch, been in a case since I got it, I even clean the screen. :3 I have iTunes 9.0.1.8, and a Griffin wall charger/adapter that I bought about 2 years ago when I got my older iPod. That's what I use (in conjunction with the new cord I got with my iPhone a few months ago) to charge it. Now my question: (and yes, all this was relevant!) It would appear that my iPhone's volume control on its iPod (not on other audio apps such as Pandora or Youtube, only iPod) goes ABSOLUTELY WONKY after charging it on this wall charger. Nothing else breaks, it all works normally, even plays normally, except the volume slider bounces around like it's on drugs and sticks to a very loud place on the slider. In addition, while it's plugged into this charger and ONLY while plugged in, the whole screen's touch sensitivity goes weird, too. It thinks my finger is somewhere other than where it is. It registers a touch an inch below where my fingertip really is on the screen & is unresponsive at random. This is fixed by unplugging it from the charger.
The volume slider is fixed by plugging in & syncing the phone with my computer (using an older iPod cord: I have way too many so I use one for the computer & the newer one for the charger), but then it promptly goes back to broken after I plug it into the wall charger for a couple hours. I've never used a car charger on it (heard that's bad). It's not practical for me to open my laptop every time I wanna charge this guy; should I use a different wall adaptor? Is an old Griffin adaptor not good for iPhone? (btw: I can manually move the volume down with the button on the side of the phone, but the slider on-screen doesn't show the difference; I just hear less volume.)
Many thanks, and best of luck (all of us dealing with technology need it)!

Got the same problem... but I'm using only original hardware. The problem with the volume control is only appearing when using the Ipod (on the Iphone). The volume control on the Youtube App for example is working fine. Also it is only the volume control on the touch screen and not the hardware volume control button. The screen volume controller sticks to a certain level and when trying to move it, it follows my finger but jumps back to its initial position as soon as my finger is no more touching the screen. Furthermore the indicated volume on the screen does not correspond to the real volume level. I.e. I can turn up the volume on the hardware volume controller as much as possible and the screen volume controller stays at the same position...
I am not using any of the mentionned apps!? However I got quite a lot of apps so it is possible thant one of them is causing the problem. Does anyone have a list of all apps that are causing this problem?
Btw: I am using the new 3GS with the latest software on both Iphone and iTunes..
Thank you!

Certain apps causing the volume slider not to function properly.

I recently purchased an iPod touch 3g. Everything was working great until I purchased this app. I got Earthworm Jim and the game runs great, no problems playing the game. Now when I quit the game and go to my music library and play a song or a video the volume slider won't work properly. When I try movingIt, it keeps moving back to it's previous position. To fix the issue I have to either plug the iPod to my comp or restart it. Now this only happens after I quit "Earthworm Jim" or "Cooking Dash". Two games that has in game music (a feature that let's you play ur own music while playing the game". Anyone experiencing this issue?

I have the same experience with the sticking volume slider, after I played Asphalt 5. This game also has in game music, but the problem also exists, if I let the game play the generic music of the app.
Seems to me, that this is a common app vs. OS software trouble and the only solution, that works on my iPhone, is to turn on the voice memo app and quit it. After that the slider works well in the iPod app.
Apple, please develop an update to fix that issue soon!
