How can I fix my phone's ringer? The call comes through but it won't ring.

I've had my iPhone for over 6 months now with no issues. I have not had it reserviced, its not refurbished, and I bought it new from an AT&T store.
This week my phone stopped ringing. The incoming call comes through on the screen, but it doesn't ring out loud so I know I'm getting a call and I can't sit and stare at my iPhone's screen all day long to see if I'm getting an incoming call. It vibrates when a call comes in maybe 20% of the time.
Today I went into settings and reset my settings but it still didn't bring my ringer back. It plays the ringers when you are looking through the list of ringers, it plays it when you alter the volume setting, but when a call is actually coming in or when I'm receiving a text message or something, no sound.
What can I do to get my ringer back?

Check the mute switch on the side above the volume rocker. If the red dot shows, the phone is muted. You'll still be able to play the ringtones to select one.
I find that the switch can be thrown to "mute" by accident when I put my iPhone in my belt holster.

    If you have any podcasts in your iTunes library you should see a Podcasts sync setting tab to the right when you connect your phone and click on its name on the left sidebar (see image below).  On this tab check to sync podcasts and sync your phone.

    How can i remove my phone number from the imsg server

    You can disassociate your phone number with your iMessages/Apple ID by turning off iMessages. Go to Settings -> iMessages -> Turn off iMessages. Wait a couple of hour to fully have your number unregistered with iMessages.

    I have an apple 4 given to me by my cousin from japan but the phone is lock by japan sotfbank, how can i use this phone here in the Philippines network provider? thanks

    Only the carrier an iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone. It is my understanding that Softbank in Japan does not unlock iPhones.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How can we default a Purchase Organisation in the PR generated through MRP

    Hi,
    How can we default a Purchase Organisation in the PR generated through MRP
    (This is a Auto generated PR when the MRP Run is taken)
    We take a MRP Run for CBP. After the MRP Run system Auto generates a PR. But this PR does not have the P.organisation mentioned in it. It has to be done manually.
    How can we Default the P.Organiastion in the PR.
    NS

    The Purchasing Organization is only filled in the Purchase Requisition
    when a source is assigned because it represents a source of supply.
    Please also refer to attached note 206684 for more information.
    When executing a MRP-run, it is checked first if there exists a quota
    arrangement, the source list is read after it and the purchasing
    organization is taken from the source list. But before filling
    the relevant field in the purchase requisition (EBAN-EKORG), the
    system checks if there exists a record in the source list which is
    RELEVANT TO MRP, which means that the parameter 'MRP' has to be set to
    '1'.
    So please ensure that MRP = 1 in ME01 for the existing records and start
    the next planning run with planning mode = 3 and check the results.

  • How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button.

    How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button. Because my friends usually send lots of messages at the same time so I cannot read all of them when I press "reply", then I have to go to Messages -> my friends' messages, and it's really complicated.

    Sorry for not quite understanding. I guess you are referring to a notice in an alert. I do not have that alert active on my device, so I cannot say. I use the banner alert, so I just get a notice of a message and can swipe to open that particular message. If I ignore it, it will eventually go away.

  • How can I get my phone to ring every 2 seconds?

       I've looked and looked all over the internet and I have seen people with this problem but so far no solutions. I would like my bb8520 to function as any $20dollar phone would, which is to ring  every 2 seconds instead of every 10 seconds.
       My phone rings, then 10 seconds later it rings again, by the time 10 more seconds have gone by, the caller either hangs up or is sent to voice mail. If you miss the first ring, hear the second but take a little while to find or reach your phone, you miss the call.
       Is there any way I can decrease the time between rings??  I really hope someone has a solution besides contacting the carrier. The caller usually hears about 8 to 10 rings before it goes to voice mail, so it is not a carrier issue. The problem is for me, not for my caller.
       I have already changed the profiles every which way, you can only change the number of vibrations, but not the rings. My only solution so far has been to program a song as a ringtone so it lasts longer, but I prefer a regular ring ring.
      I'ts incredible that RIM hasn't been able to make this easy.
      By the way, my other issue I had is that it wouldn't vibrate and ring simultaneously, but I solved that downloading buzz me.

    about vibrating and ringing at the same time, provided you upgrade the OS on your device from 4.x to 5.0 then this option will be available without requiring to install a third party application like BuzzMe.
    About the ringing, if you are not pleased with the current ring you are using you can of course change it to another. For example of of the series which name starts with Ringer_BBPro_ . It will ring every second.

    my old desktop is gone and i bought a new laptop, how can i synchronise my phone songs , photos , videos and contacts to my itunes? now my current itunes is empty and all my data is in my iphone.

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
