Cannot hear iPhone Ring with Headset

I just started using the V-Moda Vibe II wired headset but I usually prefer to leave the earpiece hanging from my shirt while I'm not making calls. This is because the earpiece interferes with my hearing as it blocks outside noise. The problem is I cannot hear my iPhone ringing because it only plays within the earpiece and not from the iPhone's speaker. I set my phone on vibrate but sometimes while having it on my holster and walking I cannot feel the vibration. Is there a way for the iPhone speaker ringer to work while using a headset? If not, Apple should make this an option in Preferences>Sound.
Thanks,
Alexander

You're right! You know what's weird? Whenever I charge my iPhone to my iHome alarm clock radio, my iPhone's sound settings get all weird. Perhaps because when I connect it, my iPhone says that "This accessory is not compatible with iPhone", even though it should according to the alarm clock box. Keyboard clicks disappear. So maybe my sound settings got screwed up because of that. I just tested it and heard the ringer from my iPhone. Thanks guys!

  • When bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone?

    when bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone but it rings through the bluetooth headsets?
    In other phones, you can hear the phone ringing and if it was connected to bluetooth, you could pick up the call from the bluetooth headset.
    Here with iphone, if its connected to bluetooth headset, it only rings through the headset, which means that if you dont have the headset in the ear all the time, you cannot know that you have an incoming call or message.
    Any ideas - solutions - comments please?

    I'm having the same problem. I had a plantronics 975 (which I lost, sadly). When connected, the ringer would always be routed through the bluetooth and the iPhone's external speaker. When in silent mode, the iPhone would only vibrate, but I could still hear the ringer in the bluetooth.
    I just bought a new Plantronics Voyager+. Now when it's connected, all sounds are routed to the earpiece - including the taps, etc. The iPhone's speaker doesn't ring at all, unless the bluetooth is disconnected or powered off. I'd really like to be able to hear both, like I was before. This is an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 (latest version, not sure what it is exactly). Haven't updated software/firmware in between bluetooths, just changed the earpiece.

  • When i call some user i cannot hear the ringing tone...what can i do

    i just get an iphone's; but strangely when i call a user i cannot hear the ringing tone rimaining in the doubt if i am really calling someone; by the way calling myself at home the phone works perfectly; maybe the ringing tone inside is off? cannot find the solution in FAQ

    OK, so it sounds like your internal speaker is damaged or not working.
    Try this first... Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
    Now, try using the internal speaker again. If it works, good.
    If not, there's some other problem. Is this device fairly new, as in less than a year, you should get a warranty replacement device from your mobile service provider.

  • I cannot hear voice through my headset under bootcamp win7.

    I cannot hear voice through my headset under bootcamp win7.
    would anyone provide update for Mac Air Boot Camp4.0 with Win7 32 bit ?
    thanks

    There are quite a few posts about the same sound issues so the best thing to do is to do a search here for something like "no sound in headphones in Windows" or something similar and try the one that fits your problem.
    Basically you have to enable them in the sound Control Panel, re-install just the Boot Camp sound drivers manually or possibly down load the sound drivers for your hardware (your sound card) from the manufacturer directly.

  • HT204387 Cannot pair iPhone 5 with Toyota Camry Bluetooth

    I cannot pair iPhone 5 with Toyota Camry Bluetooth. Never had a problem with android

    Two things that you need to verify first
    1. The first step in troubleshooting any accessory is to determine whether the accessory is compatible with the device. Contact your automotive manufacturer or the manufacturer of your aftermarket head unit to see if your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch model is compatible.
    2. Verify that both your car kit and your iOS device are running the latest software versions. To verify that your car kit is up to date, please contact your automotive manufacturer or the manufacturer of your aftermarket head unit.
    Also follow the Link. hope this helps.

  • My iPod glass is crack and the headset hole got very big and I cannot hear music from the headset but the headset work on other device

    My iPod fell on the floor and the glass was crack also, the hole that the headset plug into got so big I cannot hear a sound from it. The headset work on other devices, what should I do?.

    kaz-k, the warranty is irrelevant. A broken screen is not coverd by the warranty and void the warranty on the entire iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. I would say not worth it for a 2G iPod
    Apple - iPod Repair price              
    A third-party place like the following may repair it for less. Google for more.

    Fix it (replace headpohone jack and screen) yourself if you are up to it

  • Old iPhone cradle with headset.

    So, I currently have an Apple bluetooth headset. When I purchased it it came with a new cradle so you can charge both the iPhone and the headset at the same time. Well, it appears that the cradle doesn't work with the 3G.
    I hate laying my beautiful black 3G on its back to sync...

    This has already been discussed.
    There is a new 3G dual Dock. It is not available in the online store. It is 49.00 at Apple Retail STores only -- and every single one of them is sold out nationwide until new stock is replenished. There is no estimate for when they will be in the stores.
    The lack of a listing in the Online Store is a good indicator that there isn't any replacement stock available yet. In the SE Michigan stores, each Apple store got 5 new 3G dual docks last friday at launch. All were sold out before 10 am.

  • HT201263 I cannot restore iPhone 3GS with iTunes

    I cannot restore my iPhone 3GS with iTunes. I am using Windows 7. Can anyone help me. I wont even boot. I previously jailbroke it. So i need help. I try restore. iPhone cannot restore. I try .ipsw file. Cannot restore because the firmware file is corrupted.

    Jailbreaking your phone not only voids any warranty with Apple, but also forfeits your ability to receive any assistance, including from this forum.
    Discussion of jailbroken phones is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use of this forum.
    You'll have to search elsewhere on the internet for assistance.  I know, why don't you start with the lovely people who helped you jailbreak your phone to begin with?

  • Cannot sync iphone 3gs with itunes 10.3

    Iphone will not sync with itunes because itunes freezes everytime the phone is plugged into computer. I have windows 7 32 bit machine. I have also tried on macbook pro 10.3 itunes and it crashes as well. I cannot restore my phone because itunes freezes. It deleted all my music from my phone, however it still lists that the music is still on the phone. I have a iphone 3gs 4.3.2, cannot download and install 4.3.3 due to itunes freezing.

    I can't sync with iTunes too. My 3GS was updated to 4.3.3 (8J2) by the local Mac store yesterday after a failed attempt to update from 4.1 using iTunes version 10.3.1. All apps, photos, contacts, etc was wiped.
    Because I can't see my iPhone in iTunes I can't restore it. I've tried restarting the PC, and trying different USB ports to no avail.

  • Cannot sync iphone 4 with itunes after new update to ios 7

  • Cannot share iPhone contact with macbook pro? HELP

    I am the proud owner of a iphone 5 and a macbook pro. I need help concerning the contact transfer, i'd like to have my iphone contact automatically transferd to my macbook.
    Thanks community

    I just discovered that I am having this problem too!
    I figured that there was a problem when trying to pair instead if being asked to input the code on my iPhone, I was simply asked to 'Confirm that the PIN code XXXXX is being shown on the MacBook Pro'
    On the iPhone, the MacBook Pro is then shown as 'Not Connected'
    When I click on it on the iPhone, I get the error:
    'Connection Unsuccessful'
    'MacBook Pro is not supported'
    'Forget this device'
    I don't have any other issues with headphones and headsets connected to both devices and other phones, a Samsung and two Nokias, connecting to the MBP.
    There seems to be no way to initiate pairing from the iPhone.
    Frankly, this is ridiculous.

  • Cannot Sync iPhone 4 with New Computer

    I replaced my computer with a new one (Win 7 - although I believe the OS is irrelevant)
    I moved my iTunes library to the new computer using Home Share. But, when I connect my iPhone 4 to the new computer, I cannot move music, podcasts, etc. between the iTunes library and the iPhone (in either direction). When I click the option to manage music files manually, I get a message saying the iPhone can only sync to one computer and  I need to erase and sync the iPhone in order for it to sync to this computer.
    I followed instructions in other threads here, including:
    - authorize this computer
    - transfer purchases from the iPhone to iTunes
    - reset warnings on iPhone thru the device pane in iTunes
    - backed up the iPhone
    I allowed the erase and sync, then restored from the backup.
    All of my files and data (email, apps, and related data, etc.) are there  except none of my music, podcasts, movies, etc., are there. I'm still not able to move media files between the iPhone and iTunes
    How can I fix this?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.
