The mute button on iPhone doesn't work. Volume button doesn't work on iPhone

Youtube

If you purchased your iPhone recently, then this article will be very relevant for you. The volume mode setting and switch in this phone are significantly different from standard settings in any other smartphone.

The first thing you need to pay attention to when using an iPhone is the mode switch located on the side panel above the volume buttons. This mechanism will allow you to put your phone on the silent profile without removing it from your pocket, or vice versa, remove it from the silent profile and turn on the “Normal” profile. This toggle switch is available in all smartphone models and is very convenient to use. If you see a red stripe, your phone is in silent mode, and if you don’t see it, then it’s in normal mode.

Also check if your iPhone 5s or 6 is connected to a headset, because when connected, the sound will only come from the headphones.

If you checked and your phone is still in normal mode, we advise you to check the volume mode settings.

Setting Volume Modes

Sometimes you need your phone not to make any sounds, for example, while at a meeting, but sometimes, on the contrary, on the street you need it to ring much louder, because you can’t hear it due to the noise around it. To do this, we recommend setting up the sound on your phone in a way that is convenient for you.

In order to enable the full sound of your device, you need to select one of the loud or sound modes. For example, turning on the “Outdoor” profile sets the maximum volume.

Silent mode

Silent mode on your iPhone turns off the sounds that work for the Calls and Alerts functions. This mode is the most frequently used among users. You can turn on the silent profile using the toggle switch, and a notification icon will appear on your screen that the phone has switched to the silent profile. But don’t forget that the alarm you set will still ring at the set volume, even if you switch it to a silent profile.

Do Not Disturb Mode

This profile is especially suitable for use while sleeping or visiting a museum or church. This mode will provide you with a feeling complete absence mobile phone. By putting your smartphone in this mode, it will still receive messages and calls, but it blocks sound alerts, light signals and “vibration mode”. You can turn this mode off, as well as turn it on, in the sound control panel. But do not forget that the alarm clock application will still sound at the volume you set, regardless of the mode.

Individual settings

If you are not satisfied with any of the modes or you want to change some functions or vibration, you will need to study the settings of each mode separately. By going into the mode parameters, you can set the volume for ringtones, messages and notifications; ringtones for system notifications and default messages.

If you are an auditionist by nature, then you may like the fact that the phone responds with a sound when you press the screen or keys, which can also be edited in the profile settings. The vibration supply and its sound character are also regulated there.

For each mode, you can choose your own settings and melodies, thus creating the opportunity to create your own mini-uniqueness.

Sound problems on iPhone

Faced with the problem that your smartphone is stuck on maximum volume and you can’t do anything about it, or vice versa, it doesn’t want to play tunes, but just makes a “vibrating” sound and that’s it previous tips did not help you, then we will try to tell you several methods on how to fix this error.

Resetting sound settings

Most often, a problem with sound or the fact that it does not work on an iPhone can be very easily solved by resetting the sound settings. Unfortunately, all modes you previously configured will be reset to standard, but you can configure them again. This process is not labor-intensive and will take you very little time, and it can be done in any place and time suitable for you.

1 The first action you will need to press and hold for about four seconds is the sleep button, which is located at the top of the smartphone. 2 Afterwards, you need to move the creeping line on the screen to the Power off position, after which the display will go dark or the standby sign will appear, and then the smartphone will turn off. 3 Now you need to repeat the first step: press and hold the sleep button, which is located at the top of the smartphone, for about four seconds until the Apple logo appears on it. 4 The final stage is to check and adjust the volume by listening to a melody.

Master reset

The most radical method in this situation is general reset settings. Before doing this, you must create backup copy all your personal data so that when you reset, they are not erased from the phone.

To turn off sounds, vibrations, and light alerts on your iPhone, turn on silent mode or do not disturb mode. Silent mode changes sound notification to vibration, while do not disturb mode temporarily blocks all signals (including vibration and light alerts). Customize your iPhone settings to get exactly what you want from it.

Steps

1 Silent mode

1 Become familiar with the concept of silent mode. iPhone silent mode mutes calls and alerts and replaces them with vibration. Silent mode is fast and convenient way Silence the phone (most of its functions).
- Note: The alarm you set in the Clock app will bypass silent mode and ring at the scheduled time. Alarms set in other apps may not ring.
2 Turn on silent mode. The switch (mute) is located at the top left of the phone. By switching it to the “down” position (to silent), you will turn on vibration and reveal an orange strip under the switch itself.
- The "up" position means that the phone's sound is on.
- If you switch to silent mode and look at the phone screen, you will see a notification - “Mute”.
3 Adjust your sound settings to turn off vibration on your phone. To make your phone truly quiet, you can turn off vibration on silent mode by going to Settings > Sounds. Find the "Vibrate on Silent" switch and turn it to the Off position.
- Even after this, your phone screen will still light up when you receive notifications or calls.
4 Silence the keystrokes. If you still hear your keyboard keys making noise, mute them by going to Settings > Sounds. Switch the “Keyboard Press” switch from green (On) to white (Off).
5 Turn off "Lock Sound". Your phone will make sounds while it is locked or unlocked, regardless of whether it is in silent mode or not. To turn off this sound, go to Settings > Sounds, and at the bottom of the menu, find “Lock sound.” Switch the switch from green (On) to white (Off) to silence all locking sounds.

2 Do not disturb mode

1 Familiarize yourself with Do Not Disturb mode. Do Not Disturb mode temporarily blocks all sounds, vibrations and lights to completely eliminate distractions. When your phone is in this mode, it will receive calls and messages, but it will not ring, vibrate, or light up.
- Note: Alarms set in the Clock app will ring even in Do Not Disturb mode.
- Many people put their phones in this mode at night to avoid being woken up by sudden vibrations, ringing calls, or the phone's backlight.
2 Swipe across the bottom of the screen. This will open your phone's control panel.
3 Click on the crescent-shaped button. This button, located at the top of the control panel, turns on Do Not Disturb mode. If this button is white, it means the mode is enabled. Click on it again (so it turns gray) if you want to turn off Do Not Disturb mode.
- You can also enable this mode by going to Settings > Do Not Disturb Mode. Place the switch next to the Manual option from white to green.
- On the control panel there is another similar icon of a crescent moon inside a sun. This button enables a feature called "NightShift".
4 Turn this mode on and off daily certain time. If you use Do Not Disturb mode every day, then program your phone to automatically turn Do Not Disturb on and off at certain times of the day. Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb Mode. Switch the switch next to the “Scheduled” option from white to green, and then manually set the time “From...” and “To...”.
- For example, you can set work time(from 9 am to 5 pm) so that your phone does not distract you at work.
5 Allow some phone numbers to disturb you when Do Not Disturb is turned on. By default, contacts you have designated as "Favorites" will be able to reach you in this mode. You can change these settings in Settings > Do Not Disturb > Allow Calls From.
- Select Everyone, Nobody, Favorites, or All Contacts.
6 Let me call you. By default, do not disturb mode allows calls to be made to people who call within 3 minutes of each other. This option allows for emergency situations, but it can be disabled.
- Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb.
- Find the switch next to the Repeat Calls option. Leave it green to enable the feature, or switch it to white to disable it.

The iPhone is one of the most reliable phones of our time, but even it can break. You may notice that switching to silent mode and back will happen every once in a while. Or even the Mute switch will move without resistance, and mode switching will not occur at all.

In this case, normal use of the iPhone will be difficult: if the call sound is turned off, you can miss an important call, and the inability to turn on silent mode can lead to an unpleasant situation due to loud bell during a meeting or other official event.

Why doesn't the mode switch button work?

There are several possible failure options:

button malfunction;
loop malfunction;
vibration motor malfunction;
electronics malfunction.

The simplest option is a faulty button. It can malfunction due to dust or liquid ingress, as well as due to normal mechanical wear. In the first case, it is enough to rinse and clean the button, but in the second, it will need to be replaced.

It's more difficult to deal with the loop. On the one hand, the breakdown may be simple (lost or oxidized contacts), but on the other hand, the conductor inside the loop may break.

A vibration motor malfunction is rare, but it can also fail due to liquid getting inside or due to an impact from a fall. The vibration mode will not work. In this case, the vibration motor must be replaced with a new one. But the most difficult is considered to be a burnt microcircuit. If it is easy to replace a button or cable, then the microcircuit will have to be unsoldered.

How can I fix the Mute switch?

IN simple cases You can fix the problem like this: disassemble the iPhone, wash the contacts of the button and cable, if necessary, order a new spare part and replace it.

But to perform this work, you need to have at least basic experience working with complex equipment, otherwise you can simply break the latches or even order a spare part from a different model. There is also a risk of buying a non-original part with a short service life. Well, replacing a microcircuit will require the use of a soldering station, so this operation is not carried out at home.

Therefore, it is better to turn to professionals, such as the employees of our Total Apple service center. We can repair any Apple gadget. At the same time, we use exclusively original spare parts, therefore we provide the maximum guarantee period(3 years) for both parts and labor.

The excellent touch glass on the iPhone made it possible to abandon the keyboard, which took up a lot of space on phones, but it is still impossible to completely abandon all buttons. Those few buttons that are left on the device tend to break sometimes, and below we will look at the main reasons for these breakdowns.

Why don't my iPhone buttons work?

As a rule, the reasons why iPhone buttons do not work are purely mechanical, i.e. Over time, they simply wear out and require replacement. In addition to mechanical wear, there are other reasons why replacing the iPhone button is necessary. Often this happens when moisture gets in, which leads to the formation of corrosion on the button cable and, as a result, its failure. If with the problem of some buttons you can generally use the device normally, then with some it is very difficult to use the device and your iPhone simply needs to replace the button.

Many people want to reduce the cost of iPhone button repair and not change it, but repair their old one. Unfortunately, in our experience, such button repairs are very short-lived and not always possible, and we have completely abandoned them. In addition, the price for such work is not much lower than replacing the button itself, for which we can give a full guarantee.
Many people get confused and come to our service center with a request to replace the iPhone button because the pushers of the buttons that you press have fallen off or become worn. The button pushers are other parts, and if the button itself does not work, then only it is replaced, and the pusher remains the same. And vice versa, if the pusher changes, then the button itself remains the same.

All models do not have buttons simple procedure, requiring tools, skill and quality spare parts. Don’t try to do this yourself; we often come across cases where the desire to save only leads to additional expenses. In our service center you can quickly and inexpensively replace any button and receive a warranty. For an iPhone, replacing a button takes from 15 to 40 minutes depending on the model of the device and the button, but in any case everything will be done quickly and in front of you.

iPhone Power button not working

The Power button is one of the most frequently used and pressed buttons on the iPhone, and its failure makes using the device very inconvenient. If the power button on your iPhone doesn't work, you can't lock the screen, you can't restart the device, and it becomes inconvenient to turn it on. This problem, along with the fact that when the iPhone home button does not work, becomes extremely inconvenient to use.

The main reasons that the power button on an iPhone does not work are mechanical damage and moisture ingress, but it also happens that the cable is simply disconnected, for example, as a result of the device falling. Replacing the iPhone power button in such cases is not at all necessary, you just need to reconnect the cable and the button will work.
Unfortunately, there is no way to protect yourself from mechanical damage. Neither various covers, covers nor bumpers will help here. After all, over time, the mechanical parts of the button itself wear out and the only way out becomes a replacement for the iPhone power button. But we can advise you to purchase cases and covers to prevent moisture from entering; they will be able to slightly contain moisture and possibly save your iPhone.

If yours is broken top button on an iPhone 3G or 3Gs, this could be for another reason. The button often stops working on these models due to the metal frame of the case coming away from the plastic back cover, as shown in the picture below. At the same time, the iPhone power button itself may be fully functional, but due to a defect in the case, it cannot be pressed, because... the button moves and the pusher (the metal outer part of the button that you press) simply does not press the button itself.

In such cases, you need to either replace the case or glue it, if possible, but replacing the power button itself will not help the iPhone. Therefore, if the button does not work for you turn off iphone, do not rush to draw conclusions, but rather bring your device to qualified specialists who will carry out diagnostics and give an opinion on what exactly needs to be changed and whether it is necessary.

On all iPhone models, the Power button is replaced along with other elements of the device. So, for example, on 3G and 3Gs this button is located on the so-called top cable and it is replaced only together with the volume buttons, mute and headphone jack. On iPhone 4 and 4s models, this button is also replaced along with proximity and light sensors, and on iPhone 5 with volume and mute buttons. Therefore, if your iPhone power off button does not work, you need to see if other elements of this cable work. If not, then most likely the cable itself is disconnected, and if they work, then the problem is in the button itself.

Replacing the power button on an iPhone is not a simple procedure and requires serious disassembly of the device, so we recommend that you do not do it yourself but contact a specialized service center.

iPhone Home button not working

One of the most popular repairs is replacing the button home iphone. This button, like the Power button, is pressed very often, and its mechanical parts wear out.
In addition to mechanical damage, moisture ingress is often the reason why the home iPhone does not work. We often take the device with us to the bath, talk outside during the rain, or take it with a wet hand, and in all these cases, water can penetrate inside the iPhone and lead to various malfunctions, and the fact that the iPhone home button does not work is often to blame for moisture penetration .

As a rule, the Home button fails gradually. At first, Home is not always pressed (Home is pressed every other time), then it may require stronger presses, and the usual strength pressing Home does not react. Well, subsequently, as a rule, you should contact the service center, because... When the home button on an iPhone doesn’t work, it’s almost impossible to use it. We, of course, recommend not to wait for this, because... replacement is inevitable anyway, but it’s better to save your nerves and time.

If it happens that after a fall your iPhone’s home button does not work, then most likely your cable has simply become disconnected. Buttons rarely break due to falls, and if you contact the service center, the cable will be reconnected and the problem will be solved.
If your iPhone home does not work, it is better not to try to press and press the button harder. This can lead to the fact that after replacing your old button with a new one, it will not be pressed as clearly and will stand a little lower. The fact is that by pressing hard you can push seat V iPhone case and she new button will be a little lower. If this happens, then the masters of our service center will make a small spacer to raise the button, and all the sensations will be like on a new device.

Many of our clients often think that if the home iPhone does not work, then when replacing the button with a new one, the pusher itself will be replaced (the button itself that you press). The pusher is separate part and, as a rule, does not require replacement along with the button, but at your request, the craftsmen will be able to replace it too.

Replacement home buttons iPhones are produced quite quickly and, as a rule, we always have the buttons in stock, so we can quickly and efficiently replace the Home and will definitely provide a guarantee for the repair.

The iPhone volume up and down buttons break much less often than Power or Home. because We usually use them less, but if your iPhone’s volume button does not work, this can be an unpleasant problem, because at the right time you will not be able to increase or decrease the volume of your device.

The main reasons for iPhone volume button failure may be moisture and mechanical wear, although this happens extremely rarely. Due to moisture, corrosion forms on the buttons, which subsequently renders the buttons unusable and the only salvation is to replace the iPhone volume button.
Replacing the iPhone volume button in our service center is done on average in 20 minutes, so you won’t have to part with your device for a long time.

iPhone mute button not working

The iPhone silent mode (mute) button breaks very rarely, but it does happen. Over time, the mute button may stop locking in one position and begin to switch spontaneously (the iPhone mute button dangles and does not lock). This, in turn, can cause considerable problems, because... The sound may turn off and you will miss an important call. The reasons for this are usually purely mechanical; over time, the button wears out and stops locking.
Sometimes this happens due to impacts, or the button can get caught when you take the iPhone out of your pocket or purse and break with some force. In any case, if the iPhone mute button is loose, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
Replacing the iPhone mute button is not a long procedure and takes an experienced technician from 15 to 40 minutes, depending on the model of the device.

Volume button on iPhone is faulty

Have the volume buttons stopped working on your iPhone? This type of problem causes a lot of inconvenience when using the device. Below are the repair processes for the volume key.

Possible causes of failure

Dirty keys are a trivial, but most common reason. Over a long period of use of the phone, fine particles, dust, etc. may get into the holes between the keys and the case. Due to contamination, the keys work, but are pressed only 2-3 times. To clean the buttons, it is better to use an alcohol solution and a cotton swab;

The button may not work correctly after replacing the upper system board cable. This is explained by inaccurate connection of the cable (the volume up/down contacts could short out). In this case, only replacing the keys will help;
Virus software that interferes with the operation of certain functions of the operating system;
If a malfunction occurs after an iPhone is hit or dropped, this requires replacing the volume increase mechanism;
Presence of liquid in the body;
Crash after OS update.

The key is pressed, but the sound is not adjusted

If, after pressing the volume control, a ringer window appears on the screen, but there is no volume level indicator at the bottom, the problem is not a failure of the mechanism, but a failure of the operating system.

First, try to eliminate software problem The simplest way is to reboot your phone (soft reset). Typically, this procedure eliminates third party processes, which interfere with the operation of standard iPhone components. If nothing has changed after rebooting, try pressing both parts of the volume key at the same time. Repeat the action 3-5 times. This may help bring back normal mode work.

Check available updates. A new build of configuration parameters solves the problem in 90% of cases. Also try resetting your phone to factory settings.

Until the key mechanism is replaced, you can use the Assistive Touch function with which desired button will appear on the desktop screen. To enable the option, go to Settings - General - Assistive Touch and move the slider to the “On” position.

Replacing the volume control keys

Did all the above methods not help? In this case, we can say that the iPhone volume button does not work due to a breakdown of the mechanism or due to shorted contacts. Replacing a key is quite simple and you can do it yourself by following the instructions:

Prepare tools for disassembling the iPhone (a set of screwdrivers, a plastic spatula, tweezers, a suction cup, new mechanism increase volume);
Open your device. Then remove the back cover from the display. Remove the Phillips screws shown in the figure from the battery connector plug. Disconnect the battery cable and remove the battery;

Find the volume control cable and remove its plug by unscrewing the screws shown in the figure:

Disconnect the top cable bracket from the phone;
Unscrew the screws with the bracket contacts;
Remove the contact holder;

Lift the volume control cable connector with a flat spudger;
Remove the following screws:

Remove the button switch mechanism using tweezers. At this stage, you can try to clean the component; perhaps it is not broken, but simply clogged;
To replace the keys, carefully remove them with tweezers. This tool prevents damage to the button membrane;

Replace components and reassemble the device to its original condition.
