5.0.1 update for iPhone 4, my phone now doesn't ring

I updated my iPhone 4 with the 5.0.1 software and now my phone won't ring and I cannot use the side buttons to increase/decrease volume.  When I use the side button to mute the ringer, it doesn't appear to work as an icon doesn't appear on my phone (ringer with a circle/slash through it).  I have checked the settings, and Ringers and Alerts are on full volume and the Change with Buttons says On.  If I adjust the volume from this screen, the ringer does ring.
I also do not get an audible notification for text messages or new emails.  I have my phone set to vibrate when it rings, and it still vibrates when someone is calling or when the phone would normally make a sound (i.e. plugging into the computer to sync)
I have noticed worse battery life and will do the full battery drain and recharge but can't do that until tonight.  Any suggestions on troubleshooting today? 

I finally worked around Apple's problem.  I synced my iPhone 4 phone with another computer.  Lost my apps and music on the phone but still had my music database of almost 3,000 tunes.  I then synced with another computer with the updated iTunes software they just sent out.  Then had to rebuild my apps and music on the phone.  I used Tune-Up plug-in to help with the music with covers and dupes, etc.  It took me till 1 am last night but it's now working and syncing ok. I have about 1,000 tunes on the phone now, with no dupes and 95% of the cover artwork. Without Tune-Up it would take me a week to get the dupes out and covers for all the albums. I think the problems started when Apple tried to send the update directly to the iPhone rather than thru iTunes like they had always done before.  I turned off the cloud and am syncing and backing up with my computer and home sharing is turned off. That method worked very well for the last few years.   It seems like the combination of home sharing, the cloud and 5.0.1 software caused a lot of problems.  Hopefully I have it under control now, or at least until the next software update.  It was a major pita.

  • HT3939 is there an update for iPhone 4 A1332?

    is there an update for iPhone 4 A1332? It seems lately every ap I try to load requires a different system.

    The iPhone 4 can be upgraded to iOS 7.0.4.
    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • When is the next release/update for iPhone iOS.5 ? (concerning SIRI)?

    Hi,
    Given that Siri is in beta, when does Apple plan to update us with a proper version with the bugs ironed out?
    Are they going to remove the annoying design of Siri that requires an internet connection to ask it the local system time?
    If anyone has any news on this, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    H

    when is the next update for iphone carrier setting?I cant change my carrier to 2g!!!There is only 3g or LTE available for me.

    Carrier Settings are dependent entirely on your carrier.  2G is old outdated and slow etc, most carriers are phasing out their 2G service. You would need to ask your carrier when they plan on releasing a new update.
    Why on earth do you want to set your iPhone to 2G?  It will automatically switch to 2G if 3G is not available, and 2G is found.

  • Phone call function for Ipad mini & iOS update for Iphone 4

    Hi,
    Why isn't apple doing phone call on the Ipad Mini. I understand being exclusive but i've been an apple user for over 2 years now and i like using apple products. I've notice samsung has incorporated these features in their Galaxy Tab 2. By doing so, Apple is loosing it's edge against its competitor. Hope that these funtion will be incorporated in the next iOS update.
    On another note, why isn't siri included in the iOS 6.0.1 update for iphone 4. I'm not sure why android based phone could enjoy each of the new features that they release and apple can't do the same. I can understand from a business point of view but it will also affect customer's satisfaction. Appreciate if the team could consider giving the same treatment to all the apple products in terms of it's software updates and new features. 
    I'm not sure if the team is aware that apple products cost a BOMB in Malaysia. For an Iphone5 16GB, it's retail price is at RM 2,199.00 ( not inclusive of call & data plan ). Taking the cheapest call + data package from a telco provider could be as much as RM100/month ( RM1,200.00 per year ). The rational of changing an iphone is not appealing because of the huge cost. 
    As such, apprecaite that apple could at least extend all new features in it's iOS releases to all apple products.
    Thanks,

    Hi Andrey,
    I think I have figured it out. It has to do with my iCloud account. After a lot of reasearch I found a bunch of people with the same problem, and the fix for now is to COMPLETELY DELETE your iCloud account. Simply turning everything off does not work. I immediately did this on my wife and my phones and everything went back to normal.
    It appears to be a bug, because mine was only supposed to be updating my "notes" which shouldnt take 30 megs a day. Hope they fix it soon.

    I keep getting network connections error when downloading update for iPhone 4. Any suggestions?

    I think I solved the problem by initiating the update in a different way, from the itunes panel where I can click to start the update, instead of saying yes when asked if I want to update when itunes launches in response to the iphone being plugged into the computer.

  • When will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    when will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    As you know, iOS 7 applies to the iPhone 4 and above.
    I advise you not to ever expect iOS 7 for the iPhone 3GS.  Historically, Apple has never released a version of iOS that did not include some older hardware, and later come back to include that hardware.

  • Can the iOS 5.0.1 update for iphone work on my ipod touch?

    Is was woundering if you could use the same iOS 5.0.1 update for iPhone on your iPod??

    No, it will not. It must be the version specifically for the iPod Touch.  On top of that you must have a 3G or 4G iPod Touch in order to even install iOS 5 onto it.

  • Why no 6.1.1 update for iPhone 5 ?

    So 6.1.1 is out for the iPhone 4S. Good I hope it works and sort out the issues those people are having. Now what about us iphone 5 users? Are we supposed to just swing for it? I sincerely hope Apple is working on a seperate update for this as I sure would like to use my mobile Internet again, that'd be swell. Public statements once in a while wouldn't hurt apple

  • I do NOT like the new update for iphone (7.1). Is there a way to go back?

    I do NOT like the new update for iphone (7.1). Is there a way to go back? Every time I see a change, I think the old version is better. Especially the phone and caps. Is it possible?

    Sorry... Apple does not support the Downgrading of iOS.
