Galaxy S4 doesnt ring or vibrate when my boyfriend calls but does if anyone else calls me

My phone will not ring or vibrate when my boyfriend calls me but will when anyone else calls me. it used to ring when he called but then all of a sudden stopped. i have not changed any settings or even the ringtone for my boyfriends calls, so i dont understand what the issue is. all of my settings for volume, ringtone, vibration, etc are turned on.

    That is pretty strange, bro0klynbridge. But you've come to the right place for answers. Checking the contact settings to make sure you don't have the calls set to go to voicemail for his contact as Ann154 mentioned is a good start. When you select his name in your contact list, press menu and look for the "All calls to voicemail" box. Your phone will still show a missed call but the call will almost immediately go into your voicemail if the box is checked. Also, try to edit his contact listing and select a different ringtone to ensure his line isn't set to the silent option or possibly a ringtone that's been removed from your phone.

  • Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?

    Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
    During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call.  So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of.  Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message.  Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message. 

    Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

  • HT201401 My iPhone 4 does not ring only vibrates. I have restored but so luck. All the settings are okay. Ringtones can be heard through the speaker during selection. Please help. Thanks.

    My iPhone 4 does not ring only vibrates. I have restored but no luck. Ringtones can be heard through speaker during selection. Ring volume is also set at maximum.

    I had the same problem. I took the phone to the local tech shop and they replaced a fried headphone flex cable. Cost me $70.

  • Iphone 4s, Does not ring and vibrate when there is an incoming call. It shows as missed.

    Just bought a new iPhone 4 s and realised that sometime I could see missed calls without hearing the phone ringing. Tried several times with an other phone to place a call and could see that when phone goes in standby (screen black) and there is an incoming call the phone does not ring or vibrate. It does start to ring only if I press the round button. Has anybody experienced the problem? Can you help me? Thanks

    Sorry to hear the phone is not always ringing like it should. We don't want you to miss any calls. Let's get that ringing for you again. Try resetting the network settings: http://vz.to/17Us9Pn . Retest and let us know how it's working.

  • Screen goes to black when tilted back too far...anyone else had this issue?

    My ibook has started this crazy new thing. The screen goes to black when tilted close to all the way back. It's not that big a deal, but I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and if it possibly will get worse. When it happens, I just close the lid, let in go into sleep mode, then open it back up touch a key and all's well, I just have to be careful not to lean the screen back too far. In the past, I've had to send it back twice for the logic board to be replaced and as much as I love Macs, I really feel this is not a well-made product. Thanks for any advice....

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    As the old joke goes about the guy who went to the doctor and, raising his arm, said, "Doc, it hurts when I do this." And the doctor said, "Well, then, don't do that!"
    Yes, it is a familiar thing to happen to an iBook. The backlight cable can get pinched in the hinge, causing it to go off at certain angles.

  • When I updated to Photos, Microsoft Office won't recognize any pictures when I try to insert a photo, anyone else having this problem?

    Seems that when I updated from IPhoto to Photos, I've lost the ability of Microsoft Office to recognize photos from the photo library and I can't insert photos unless I drag the photo to the desktop and then insert it. Anyone else run into this issue?

    Yes. Older versions of MS Office are not compatible with 10.10.3 in this regard like it was for iPhoto.  Don't know if the newest versions are compatible yet.  Your current workflow will have to be used until MS offers an update to address it, if at all.

  • HT1369 Since we updated our Itunes to 10.7 we've had nothing but problems, first we lost all our music (luckily I was able to recover it) but now it won't find my phone when I plug it in. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Has anyone out there been having any problems with Itunes since updating Itunes.  First it lost all our music (which I recovered), now it won't find my phone when I plug it in. 

    I hate to say it, but Apple is literally infamous for teething problems on new releases. It's usually fixed in two days, though that fix usually gets fixed, too, so sometimes a week, but does means downloading new updates.
    My (experienced) advice? Wait a couple of days, check for updates, try again. Pray (or whatever works for you) that you don't have the "lost Apple Device Driver" problem several people are having.
    I keep an older version of iTunes installer on a backup drive (or just in my downloads folder), just for such events. Worst-case, I've always been able to uninstall iTunes (including driver and user info), then install my old version of iTunes and roll on. Yes, my iTunes folder is on an external hard drive, so I can move it around to my different computers, and then keep a backup of that hard drive on a second external hard drive. Saves me a ton of headaches.

  • My iPhone 5 doesnt ring only vibrates.

    So I got an iPhone 5 about 2 weeks ago. A few days ago it stopped ringing. The volume is on and the mute is off. I've checked the settings, bluetooth, all that
    fun stuff but nothing seemed to be wrong. I think this issue started when I started to use headphones. I restored my phone, reset it as well. I got nothing. If I hear the ringtone it works, or any video, there is sound. But when recevieing a call, it just vibrates. Im not sure if this matters as well, if I move the switch to mute or unmute on the side of the iphone no message comes up. Although it is off at the moment.
    If someone will be nice enough to help me that would be great.

    this worked for my Iphone 4
    Go to:
    Settings
    General
    Accesability
    Assistive touch - switch to on.
    using the assistive touch (the white circle that now appears on your screen), go to:
    Device
    Then tap the bell (mute) icon.
    This should fix the issue. To test it (without having to wait for someone to call you) write an SMS and see if the keyboard clicks are audible.
    I hope this solves your issue like it did mine. If it doesn't maybe try tapping that mute icon again and/or flicking the actual mute bottom on the left hand side of your iPhone.

  • Firefox doesnt work when LAN cable connected but does with wireless

    When connected to the LAN (provided by a cable company) I get server not found messages but woeks okay when using a wireless connection. I have cleared recent history = cache and cookies, rest proxy server to no proxy and put firefox.exe into my firewall exceptions and still no go. I am borrowing the wireless connection, my connection is through the cable.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == within the last 24 hours

    Hello.
    When using a LAN cable, can you connect to the internet using other software (such as download managers, other browsers, IM clients, update software...)?

  • I have a wireless home phone connect device. Can call out on it when dial tone present, but most times cannot receive calls since purchase. Anyone else having a  problem with their home connect device?

    Have had Wireless Home Phone connect device refreshed and updated three times since I purchased it in September 2014. Last tech I worked with on it initialized an NRB to check the network. I checked the location of the tower, which is less than one mile up the hill with clear line of site. The device always has two antennas on it. The device is great when it does work, but most of the time it rings three times and then jumps to an automated message saying the person I am calling is not available. I've actually gone up there several times to try an fix the device, but always end up calling a Verizon tech who has me unplug it, pull the battery, and they do some network stuff and then we turn it back on and it works. After the last time on 10/02/14, I called it and got the message. I drove up there, 100 miles one way, and called it while standing in the room. Got the same message. I picked up the phone, heard a dial tone and dialed my phone and it range through. I hung that phone connected to the device and call it using my cell phone. It rang through. I went home and tried to call it the next day. Again it did not ring through and I got the message after three rings. I call another phone at the facility and had them call me on my mom's phone and it is fixed it again. The fix last for a day or two and then it's broken again, like it is today. If it's a network problem then it must be fairly close to the area because no matter what we do it fails again. So much for the 99.98% reliable. This thing is a piece of junk!
    I purchased this device and put it on my plan so that my mother who we placed in a home at 96 years old would have a phone connection that she could use and wouldn't flip her out. My family and her family has not been able to faithfully connect with her at this critical time in her life. I am giving Verizon 10 more days to figure this out and then I am going to ask for a total refund not to mention how much time and travel I have put into this piece of junk. Either the home connect transceiver is broken or the network is broken. Why should I pay close to $70 for a service that has not worked more than several days out of 35 days? Also I have spent close to three hours on the phone with decent technical people, but it's my time. I should send Verizon a bill for every time I have gone up there to fix this device as well.
    What perplexes me is that a regular cell phone would have sufficed, but because Verizon has to have a data connection that is not available on a regular phone and it was going to cost me $30/month, I decided to go with the home connect. Seemed like a nice solution for an older person who would have a hard time using a cell phone and keeping it charged. Plus after all the fees for getting it connected, it only cost $20/month. That would be a pretty good thing, IF IT WORKED....... The other thing that irks me is, why do I have to pay for a data connection when the cell phone Verizon originally provided can't even access the network. What ever happened to adding a phone line for $10 bucks\ month? All I wanted was a simple phone. She would not be able to use anything more complex and all she needs is a phone line period.
    I have no problem paying for something that works and does what it should, but this is ridiculousness. The MTF on this device is somewhere around 1 to 2 days. Out of 365 days that's about a 96.5% failure rate....... Want my advice? Get ride of this device. It sucks and it's bad marketing.

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.
