IPhone :: 3G Silent Switch Won't Stay Silent

Jun 11, 2010

A few months ago on my 3G, I tried switching my silent switch over and it wouldn't stay silent. The switch does go fully to the left side, but it doesn't do the typical vibrate and show the silent graphic on the phone. BUT if I ever so slightly nudge it to the left it does go to silent but there is no way to keep it in place.

It is almost as if there is something in the way or maybe there is a short?My warranty is no longer valid, but the phone is in perfect condition, has been cased. It makes no sense.

Anybody have any advice, because I would like to sell the phone soon but obviously do not want to sell it without the silent working. I guess I could go to a cell phone repair shop but they charge a $30 diagnosis fee and then apply that to the repair. I do not want to get screwed.Anybody have ANY advice or experience with the switch conking out on them. Any home remedies?

IPhone :: Messed Up Silent Toggle Switch?

Mar 14, 2010

So this just recently started happening. When I slide the switch down (thus putting the phone on vibrate) it'll freak out and go back and forth between loud and vibrate. Touching the screen or the phone causes it to switch back and forth as well (i'll vibrate to signal). The other day the physical switch showed it was on vibrate but it was audible and playing sounds. The switch isn't actually broken off, and I don't think it's a software problem. Has anyone else had this issue? Phone hasn't been dropped and doesn't have any water damage

IPhone :: Cannot Adjust Volume Using Side Buttons And Silent Switch Not Working

May 20, 2012

All of a sudden I have a problem with the volume on my phone. I know it isn't a problem with the speakers as all my videos play normally with sounds, and when I try to change the ringtone, it plays. However, I cannot adjust the volume using the volume buttons on the side, and the silence switch doesn't work...when I press any of them, there is no on screen confirmation of a change. The ohphone also doesn't play any noise when I have an incoming call or text. But I like I said, I can play videos with sound, I can go to settings and sound and hear the ringtones. I have reset, and restored the phone but nothing has made any difference.

BB Bold 9000 :: Is Possible To Temporarily Switch To Silent Mode?

Jul 6, 2010

I had the option to switch my phone to silent for a period of time of my choice. After that the phone would switch back to normal. The benefit of this was that I could never forget to switch back to normal. For example at the beginning of a meeting with an estimated duration of 2 hours, I would program the phone to a 2 hours silent period and after that it would switch back to normal. This was so handy. Is that possible at my BlackBerry 9000?

Xperia Z3 :: Silent Mode Not Silent

Oct 9, 2015

Ok, so I'm trying to work out how the silent modes work on my Z3. I'm failing.
 
So it seems you can press the volume key and by clicking the 'bell' icon I can scroll through 3 different modes: Loud, Vibrate and Silent.
 
Seems simple enough, only none of these modes silence apps or games at all.
 
I just want to put my phone on silence/vibrate and know that even apps and games will be silent too.
 
I thought I could put into vibrate mode and slide the media volume down to zero and it would rememeber it... then putting back into loud mode would make media slider go back to normal volume?... Nope, I have to change it back to loud mode and remember to slide the media volume back to normal...

Motorola Photon 4G :: Where To Control Auto-switch To Silent Mode At Night

Nov 17, 2011

I have been using the Photon for months but can not seem to find the area that manages when the Photon goes into silent mode.I thought it was in the custom battery mode. I set it to Custom battery saver, set the Off-peak hours to start at 10pm and end at 5 am.My alarm goes off at 5:30 am but it never rings, even though I have it set in the alarm setting to do so.

I have noticed that the phone automatically changes to silent mode around 9pm and will not auto switch back until 8 or 9am. I get fustrated and set it to ring when I first use the phone in the morning.Is there some file that I need to edit to get my time window in? This is driving me a bit nuts, lol.

Samsung Galaxy S II :: Silent Mode, Non Silent Mode, Seems Reversed?

Feb 1, 2012

It was 5 weeks old and developed a screen issue, went back to repair centre, came back fixed.....All good.....Well no.Now, when the silent icon on the drop down curtain says silent, its not, when you select to change this from the long press of the power on/off button (It gives you a turn device off option, deactivate/activate data, Airplane mode and Silent off and on)The turn on silent mode actually does the opposite?

IPhone :: My 4S Has Gone Silent?

Jul 4, 2012

i have had my iphone 4s for about a month.in the last coupla days it has started giving me notifications without sounds, not "clicking" when i type, not playing the sound in Internet (not even showing a volume slider.pic attacehed at the bottom),it is not switched to silent, and i can still flick it to silent which still shows the "silent" symbol on screen, and in turn the "unmuted" symbol when i switch back.i also cannot change affect the volume with the side buttons.if i got to "settings" / "sounds", i can hear the ringtone when i adjust the "ringers and alerts" slider, so i know the internal speak is working, but doesn't affect my problem when i go back to the home screen.still totall silence upon incoming calls/texts/emails.i really don't expect this to be happening to a brand new phone, especially one that cost me £200.00 in-store with my renewed 2 year contract.

IPhone :: Brand New 3GS Won't Go Into Silent Mode

Apr 14, 2012

I just purchased an iPhone 3GS. It came with iOS5 preinstalled. I haven't been able to make it go into silent mode. Is there some setting I need to switch?

In my 1st generation iPhone, all I had to do was flip the switch on the side of the iPhone, so that the orange dot would be seen, and it would display the crossed bell graphic and go into silent mode.

When I flip the switch on the iPhone 3GS, nothing happens. It still makes noise when it rings. I tried toggling the setting in "Sounds" which said "Change with Buttons", but the switch still doesn't work. Toggling this setting seems to affect whether the "speaker" graphic is on screen when I press the volume buttons.

It seems that there is no way I can get the ringer switch to do anything. Is there anyway to make this work? Or have I received a defective unit? =S
