Doug: Yes, the silly Mute/Vibrate switch is a killer! I added it to the list because of a problem I had several months ago with my iPad: I could not hear the keyboard clicks and system sounds (sound familiar?), but ALMOST everything else worked, if a little funkily. For example, videos would play normally, but the sound would cut out every minute or so.
Turns out, the Mute setting on my iPad was defaulted to On whether I flicked the switch or not (an obscure bug). And, since Mute only mutes sounds selectively (why does Apple think this is a good idea?), I did not know this. Once I was able to turn Mute off, everything worked normally. Anyway, I hope you have this fixed on your new iPhone!
