Thread: Iphone 6 ringer problems

I noticed the volume on my iphone 6 automatically drops to the lowest volume setting recently. The other day I was listening to music while I ran and the volume kept dropping every couple of minutes. I would use the volume button to raise it again but it would revert to low setting. Since I first became aware of it I remembered not hearing the ringer a couple of times earlier in the week.

I've turned the phone off and rebooted but the volume is still reverting to low. I downloaded the latest update a week ago or so. Has anyone heard about a bug in the lastest iphone updates? I also dropped the phone in a creek when I broke through the ice this winter so I guess it's possible that is causing my issues but wouldn't I be seeing other problems too?

Does it do this just sitting on a table, without a case or cover on it?

My wife has one of those cantankerous I phones and the thing is always doing strange things. She is always running to the apple store to fix the thing.

She's running into the Apple Store to spend more of your money.

No cover Hirlau. Yeah I can turn the volume up and sit it down on the table and it reverts to low volume within a couple of minutes. I can even see the ringer window pop up and the volume bars go down.

Sounds like it has a problem,,, mine works fine ,,, do you have insurance on it?

I've never had any issues with my volume self-adjusting and I can't see anything in the settings that would possibly be a cause.

Did you try closing all of your apps through double pressing the home button, then sliding all the open apps up? Also, do you have the Facebook app?

Yeah, I tried closing all apps, turning phone of for several hours, rebooting. When I went to Sounds under Settings, the adjustment bar automatically went to low setting if I tried to slide to high setting. No Facebook app.

Funny thing, the sound is working okay today.

This problem has been occurring for about month and a half now. (Mid April was the first time I saw it). 9 out of the 12 I have fixed were caused by facebook messenger. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app to fix it. 2 were caused by oddball apps that I had never heard of. 1 was caused by a broken volume button.

So if you have facebook messenger, I'd reinstall it, reboot the phone, and see if that fixes your problem.

Edit:
Facebook messenger is a separate app from facebook.
