Volume control and microphone not working on iphone?

I have an iphone 4 & my volume control and microphone is useless on my iphone, it works fine on my ipad but only the music works on my iphone. Is it something wrong with my headphones or is it just that after the major updates iphone doesn't recognize it anymore?

I would try resetting your iPhone via iTunes. Make sure to back up your device before you reset or your data will be lost. Backing up your device backs up literally everything from your phone to your computer which after you reset it you may restore that data back to your phone. The process will take maybe 30 minutes max (depending on computer and network speed). Use the link below to show you how to reset your phone via iTunes.

Go to settings and turn on assist ice touch and change the volume like that. Or swipe up on your screen and adjust the volume. That doesn't work then your phone is ****. No 1 has the 4 anymore lol

  • My iPhone microphone is not working A week ago my iPhone 4 microphone stoped to work. It just stoped, did not lose it in the ground or something, just stoped to work. When I call someone or if someone call me, they can't here me, but I can here them. But If I turn on speaker, they hear me normally. Do you have any thoughts on how I can fix this?
  • IPhone microphone not working? It's an iPhone 4 a year old. A couple days ago my mic was working just fine but all of a sudden yesterday I noticed when I record a video on my camera or on snapchat, there will be no sound? It's not on silent or anything like that. It works fine in calls and on shazam but why not videos? Please tell me how to fix it!
  • IPhone got wet and home screen button/voice control not working? I was actually using hand sanitizer and it got into the charging opening of the iPhone. I thought I dried it out but now the home button does not work and every other time, the voice control randomly pops up. I tried putting the iPhone in rice to remove the moisture but only for a few hours (two hours at least). Should I try for 24 hours? Any other suggestions? Will apple store help repair this issue without erasing my pictures, videos or texts from my phone?
