Forced silent mode - HTC One S

No matter what I try, the ringtone keeps defaulting to silent mode. Whether using the volume rocker or through the settings menu, it may show a ringtone volume or vibrate for a second, but then it reverts back to silent mode. Same deal after restarting. Phone is unrooted. Any ideas how to fix it or whats going on?

Bump.
Having same problem. If I use shortcut switches or apps to change the ringer volume, I can't seem to get silent - I have to go into settings and switch it to vibrate from there. Then vibrate will work awhile but after some time I'll automatically switch to silent (the icon in the notification bar changes with this).
Pretty sure it can't be a hardware issue, since it does vibrate when I set it to. But I can't figure out why it keeps reverting to silent mode on its own.
Any ideas? It's a new One S, unrooted. Haven't messed with it in any way besides choosing to use a Launcher. And it's been annoying not being able to get notifications when I need the phone on silent.

Recommend sending it to your carrier or to HTC.

Do you have any sound schedulers running that would force it to silent at a certain time?

Sent HTC an email asking about it over the weekend, they replied this morning and suggested I boot into recovery and wipe the cache partition.
Looks like it worked! I can now toggle volume/silent/vibrate using the volume rocker, or toggle apps, without having to go into settings - plus, it doesn't seem to automatically switch back to silent mode now.
I'll probably keep an eye on it for a day or two just to be sure, cos the time periods between reverting to silent mode weren't consistent - but it looks promising
Honestly dunno why I didn't think of trying a wipe in the first place
Anyway here are the instructions they sent:
1. Turn the phone off (hold the Power key on devices with sealed battery)
2. Press and hold the Power key and Volume Down key to boot into Bootloader mode.
3. Press Volume down to highlight Recovery, then press the Power key
4. When the Black recovery screen appears, press Volume Up and Power at the same time to show the menu.
5. Press Volume down to highlight Wipe cache partition, then press the Power key.
6. When complete, press the Power key to reboot the phone.
The partition cache collects a lot of data for apps as they are running and keeps this data in the memory to help boot the phone up faster as well as boot up apps faster, this can hold corrupted files created when a third party application has permissions that conflict with the update program and clearing this cache will allow the system boot without the conflict.

How Can I disable the Volume control?

Ran into problems where my phone got wet, the volume up button is stuck so it's always try to adjust the ringer and the ringer volume screen keeps appearing. This is annoying because I can't really see my screen and it keeps making that beeping sound. Until I get a replacement (if I can) is there a way to disable the volume up key? My phone is rooted so is there some kind of modification I can make in the system?
anyone?...
could you possibly take the phone apart and unstick the volume button or maybe even without taken the phone apart. you could also find/create an app that takes over for the the stock volume control with an option to disable physical changes to volume

Since water got into it I dont know if it's actually stuck? I just think it got fried somehow because it just randomly adjusted the volume. I was trying to find an app but I was unsuccessful, I wish I knew how to create an app.

Mute Help

Help. I am using this ohone running the most recent AOSP ICS EaglesBlood rom. When lowering the volume on my phone, it eventually goes into vibrate-only mode. After this, if I press the volume button down again, it goes into a mute mode. In this mode, no sound is played, obviously, but it also doesn't vibrate. It does this in my pocket, and I am missing many important calls. I have searched the settings and found no way to disable this mode. Any way to get rid of this.

Volume icon Problems

Randomly, when I try to change the volume on my phone, the in-call volume icon comes up instead of the normal one. At this point, I can't change any other volume unless i manually go into the settings and change the volume tere. This happens until i reboot my phone. Upon reboot, the volume icons return to normal for an hour or too, but eventually revert back.
Anyone else experiencing these problems or know of a fix

Volume panel bug

Hi!
I have this bug with my OnePlus One. When I press volume up or down, the usual volume panel doesn't appear and requires a reboot to work again. This happens around two times a day. If I press both up and down buttons, I can turn the phone on vibrating mode and back to normal. Really annoys me to have to reboot phone to change volume level.
Anyone having this bug?

I'm having a similar problem with the sound. It doesn't make the beeping sound when I increase or decrease the volume, so it's difficult to know the volume level unless i'm on a call or open the settings. Also the haptic feedback has stopped working even though it's enabled. Still had the same problem after restarting.

Vibrate turns off

I always have my phone on vibrate, but for some reason, after some time, vibrate stops working and it's as if I only had my phone on silent. The vibrate icon is still there, but my phone no longer vibrates on notifications and calls. Is there some behaviour that I don't know about that brings this about? ... is there any way to always have vibrate on?
Much thanks!

Do you have one of the power saving modes turned on? What is your battery % at when the vibrate turns off. It may be trying to save power.

No power saving active. It just happens randomly. My suspicion is I may be pressing the volume button up or down in my pocket accidentally, but I can't be sure or if pressing the volume button while locked would even matter.
