IPhone 4 Sound & Volume Issue?

I have the original iPhone 4 I noticed the other day when I received text messages that it would only vibrate. I checked all the settings the mute switch was not on, in settings everything was set up for a normal tone. When I push the volume up and down buttons on the side of the phone it shows the ringer icon but there's no bar underneath it to show what the volume it at. Also there's no sound when playing games or music. The strange thing is when you call the phone it does ring. I'm not sure what is going on with it and I can't think of anything that can fix it. Any suggestions would help.

Try a restart. Hold the sleep and home button until the screen goes black (ignore the shutdown slide screen) and the apple logo appears. I had the same problem and that fixed it.

I had the same problem with my iPhone 4! I guess its a common problem. Did you try plugging it into your computer and restoring it? If you restored it and it still isn't working you will just have to return it for a new one like I did.

  • Volume bar and sound on iPhone 4s? When I'm playing music on my iPhone the volume bar disappeares and there's no sound. Everything else works perfectly, it rings etc just music and media it won't make any sound. Any ideas?
  • Iphone volume isn't working? Sound? Earlier today I ha earphones in my iPhone 4s (before then the sound for ringtones and just volume in general was working fine) but now my volume won't work! It's up all the way but it only works with earphones in! It won't even vibrate in silent or anything!
  • IPhone 8's sound/volume issue? My iPhone for some reason this morning decided to act strangely. Whenever I watch a video on YouTube or play music I can barely hear any audio even when the volume is turned all the way up. The audio is very faint and low I can still hear whatever video or song I'm listening too but it's extremely low. If anyone knows a fix or solution to this issue please let me know! The earbuds are not plugged in either.
  • IPhone 4s volume buttons not working, how can I turn down my call volume without these buttons? My side volume buttons aren't working on my iPhone 4s and my call volume is super loud (other people can hear the person I'm on the phone with) is there any other way to turn down the call volume?
