No alert sounds on iPhone 6 IOS 8.1.1

Hi there very frustrating, the phone stopped alert sounds 1-2 days ago, despite the function being turned on for all major apps. Also won't ring with 'No caller ID'. Update installed this morning - still same problem. Also touch screen is sometimes unresponsive. need to go out of app and restart.

No doubt akbuzzer,,,I recently switched from many years with Samsung phones and finally took the plunge and paid what I consider a buttload of money for an IPhone 6.Since day 1 I have had nothing but trouble with purchased alert tones.Contacted Apple numerous times cleared and synced my phone several times as per their instructions with no fix.How can my 300 dollar "Dell" laptop download and play purchased Apple ITunes products with no issues but my 600 dollar Apple IPhone 6 can't download and play tones that Apple is selling.So yes after hours of research and wondering what i'm doing wrong it comes down to 3 dollars,,,that might make me go back to Samsung.

  • IPhone 6 recently stopped ringing and making text alert sounds since most recent upgrade to ios 8.1.1, has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you correct?

    AFter recent upgrade to ios 8.1.1, my iphone 6 no longer makes text alert sounds and ring does not sound for incoming calls (except on car bluetooth).  has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you correct?

    I had the same problem until tonight. Played with ring tones, do not disturb, volume, and everything else posted. What I found is that when you go to sounds/text tone, there are two types of tones in the scrolling menu. The top set of tones are for alert tones and the bottom set are ringtones. They are separated by a gray bar that states their purpose. Many of the tones are the same name. You need to set your text alert in the Ringtones and reminders, alarms, and such in alerts. The weird thing about this menu is when you go to sounds/ringtone the menu is reversed. Mine works in locked mode or unlocked now. I have an Iphone 6 8.1.2. My problem started after my latest OS upgrade. Hope this helps.

  • Alerts sounds are not working after upgrading to iOS 7.1.2

    Hi,
    I've noticed that all the alerts sounds are not working anymore after upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.1.2
    I’ve reviewed similar posts regarding the same issue; and it seems this is a common issue in iPhone 4S when upgrade to iOS 7.1.2.
    Apple, please Advise if there anything I can do to resolve the issue especially that my work deepens on the push emails and alerts that requires prompt response.

    I got this issue resolved.
    It caused due to some dirt in the charger slot; such dirt caused the phone to assume as if it is connected to a car kit and that is why it does not produce any sound except the Ringer and the Alarm.
    It has been fixed by cleaning the charger slot by toothbrush! with some
    drops of a cleaner.
    Do not do it by yourself, as it might be a risk; rather, let it to be done by an expert.

    Hi AppleUser543210,
    If you are having issues with your iPad's notification alert sounds not functioning, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPad -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPad as a new device -

    Return the iPhone and get your money back. It has been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and likely cannot be made
    operative.

  • IMessage on iOS 6 doesn't make alert sounds consistently?

    After upgrading to iOS 6, my iMessage no longer makes alert noises when I get incoming messages on a consistent basis.
    If I swipe in and check manuallly, my texts are there, but the phone never made any alert sound like it used to.
    It seems to be worse after the phone has been "sleeping" for a while.
    Anyone else?

    I get the same thing.
    I am in a convo in iMessage. Lock the phone with convo still on the screen. Convo still occurring, with my friend or friends replying and stuff. But I don't hear a single text alert. Not even the little alert that sounds when you are viewing the convo.
    Now I unlock phone, exit convo or go to home screen. Lock phone again. Now I hear text alerts from that same convo. Seems like alerts don't sound when I'm in the conversation.
    What's the problem here?

  • Weird alert sounds from my iphone

    My iphone has suddenly started making an alert sound that I do not recognize and that I did not program it to make. and it isn't connected to a new email or text message or phone call or anything. it just does it! has anyone else had this issue?

    okay I figured it out and I'm so embarrassed! It was my NOOK making the noise! the nook was sitting right next to my phone and I the Nook is always muted for all sounds but for some reason the notification volume had been turned up so that's what it was and that's why I didn't recognize it! Sorry!

  • My iPhone 4s refuses to make alert sounds for one contact.  All other text messages from other individuals, including iMessage, all make appropriate alert sounds.  Very frustrating.  Any help out there?

    My iPhone 4s refuses to make alert sounds for messages for one particular contact of mine.  All other text messages come through with appropriate alert sounds.  Any help out there?

    As always seems to happen, the next thing you try ends up working. Well almost. I
    Deleted the contact and sent a message from that phone to mine -- problem persisted
    Deleted the person from my FAVORITES in the phone app (the entry still existed even though the contact had been deleted). This worked!!!
    It's kind of weird that the favorites in the phone app were somehow affecting notifications in Messages for a contact that had been deleted, but there you are.

  • Can I change iPhone action or alert sounds to those of my choosing?

    I am a new user want to change the standard sounds to custom or downloaded sounds.
    Like swipe to unlock sound incoming email or sms alerts.
    This feature is fully customisable in all other phones so why not iPhone. Cheers

    Nobody here would know why Apple has chosen not to allow changing of sounds.

  • PSA: in iOS 7.1.1, alert sounds are tied to your media/game volume and not to your ringer volume

    I was befuddled by this for a long time.
    Alert sounds would just stop making noise.  This includes dings from txt messages and new mail.
    If I went to Settings>Sounds>Text Tone and select several options, all I would get were vibrations.
    I rebooted the phone and toggled the silence switch on and off.
    I finally figured out that if I started a game and turned the volume up, the noises would come back.
    I think it is reasonable for a user to wish to play a game on mute but still hear alert messages. 
    I think if we can only have two separate systems for audio control, the alert sounds should be tied to the ringer, not to the media/game sounds.
    When I spoke to an apple support person over online chat, they seemed to agree that this sounds like a bug.
    I have seen many confused posts in these forums regarding alert sounds suddenly disappearing.
    Below is the text that I submitted at http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    If you share this problem, I suggest you do the same.
    My case number is 606343836
    Begin message:
    I've had a 5S since a few weeks after launch and this problem has only come about in the last few weeks, so I suspect it has to do with a recent OS patch.
    Sometimes my alert messages just stop working.  They seem to work one minute, then they stop.  Alert messages would include email notifications and txt message pings.  When they are not working, I can go into Settings>Sounds>Text Tone, and all of the options will simply result in a vibration and no sound. 
    Rebooting the phone does not fix the problem.
    What I have found to fix the problem is to open a game and raise the volume of the game.  Then when I exit the game, alert messages start again. 
    This seems reversible, if I go back in and mute a game, my alert messages go away as well.
    If this is by design, I do not think it should be, as I think it is reasonable for a user to want to control the "media" part of the volume separately from the "ringer" and "alerts" part of the volume. It makes sense to want play a game or video on mute but still get alert messages. If anything, I think the alerts volume should be tied to the ringer volume, I think that would make sense.

    Additional info, which makes me think this is a bug rather than a feature.  If you go into Settings > Sounds and turn off the "Change with Buttons" option, then the ringer should always ring at the volume of the slider on the screen. 
    The volume buttons now appear to only affect the media/games volume, and it works as expected EXCEPT:
    if you are in a game and you mute the volume in the game, then exit the game, all alert sounds are muted and you can't turn them back up by raising the volume with the volume buttons.
    If you go back into the game and raise the volume within the game, then exit the game, then alert sounds do turn back on.
    I have tested this with two games from two developers.
