HOW DO I GET MY PHONE TO VIBRATE? ALL SETTINGS ARE CORRECT

my phone is not vibrating. how do i fix this? all settings are correct

Hey there kgoncalves23,
It sounds like the the vibration function of the iPhone is not working correctly.
I have some recommendations to help you out here. First, connect the iPhone to the wall charger that came with it, and reset the iPhone with this article and then test the vibration again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If the issue persists, I would next backup your phone to iTunes and restore it. Set it up as a new device, and test the vibration again. When it works, restore your backup and verify it is still working. This article will help with that:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

  • Since the last update my phone won't vibrate. all settings are correct?

    Since I last updated my phone the vibrate function will not work. Can anyone help me?

    Is vibrate turned on?
    Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    Can someone set me straight?

    Check system preferences to make sure you have iCal and your photostream checkmarked to TRUE.
    If you still have problems, give us more details.
    Also, make sure the calendar in iCal you're using/looking at is not "On My Mac", but actually an iCloud one.

  • How do I get my phone to vibrate without a ringtone?

    I would like for my phone to vibrate only when I receive a new email or text message, but still ring when I get a phone call.  Please tell me there's a way to do this!  I've looked everywhere on my phone settings and it just doesn't seem to work.  Don't make this former Droid user regret purchasing an iPhone 4S! 

    I think the only way is to download a silent ringtone onto your phone from iTunes and use that ringtone for your texts, email, etc. I found one and everything was going along great until my daughters kept asking what the high pitched noise was coming from my phone.  The "silent" ringtone was not so silent to them and it was killing their ears!! It was one of those obnoxious tones that only those under the age of 25 can hear.  So now I need to find another silent ringtone .  But that's how you have to do it.

  • HT4914 I cannot get Itunes match to work on my iphone? All settings are correct.

    I cannont get Itunes match to work on my new iPhone. It works on my IPAD, IPOD and other devices.

    Confirm that you have subscribed to iTunes Match on your computer.  Then on your phone go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores, confirm that you are signed into the Apple ID you used to subscribe to iTunes Match, then turn iTunes Match and Show All Music to On.
    If it still isn't working, turn it off on your phone, go back to iTunes on your computer and turn iTunes Match off (Store>Turn Off iTunes Match).  Then turn it back on and wait for your library to be scanned.  Then turn it back on on your phone again.

  • I am beginning to frequently get a message that an email could not be sent and to retry or cancel but all settings are correct and it usually sends a 2nd time

    Have been using Thunderbird for years and it has worked just fine. Have not made any changes to any of the settings. My boyfriend also used T'bird for years but last year it stopped sending messages and he finally had to stop using it. My T/bird is beginning to act the way his did. I will write a message and press send and then a window will open saying the message couldn't be sent and to retry or cancel. Usually a retry will work. Sometimes I get a message asking me to enter my password (I don't even think I have one or if I do I don't know what it is because I have never logged in to send email). So I'm worried that my T/bird program is beginning to fail like his did. I don't want to lose the use of the program and all my saved emails and addresses, mail groups, etc. My OS is Windows 7.

    That sounds exactly like an issue that has plagued McAfee users for around a year.
    Try disabling email scanning in your anti virus program.

  • My ringer only works for the phone ringer. It is silent on all other functions. Anyone experience this before? All settings are correct.

    My ringer only works on the phone. All other functions are silent and the ringer increase button does not add volume.

    Had this happen today and 2X past as you discribed. A reboot (turn phone off and on) restored all sounds for me. The first time I can't associate w/ a cause but the second and third were just after listening to a podcast using the apple podcast app - the only app available for that. That's my story and for now I'm sticking to it.

  • Can no longer send or get mail. All settings are correct. Worked fine before.

    I can use a secondary account but not my primary yahoo.verizon account. Verified all settings are correct but the password was erased. After re-entering password a message says I have to verify my password by entering it at www.yahoo.com. However, I DO NOT have a Yahoo email account. It is a Verizon email account partnered with Yahoo.

  • How to prevent the Firefox cache from clearing -- all settings are right, but the cache is gone after each restart.

    I want to prevent cache from being deleted after each restart. "Clear history when Firefox closes" is unchecked. User.js files are deleted. Checking "Override automatic cache management" made Cache folder appear in addition to Cache2. After exiting Cache is still there, but upon Firefox re-launching, Cache turns into Cache.Trash and promptly disappears. What to do?

    Hello,
    I'm sorry to hear that. Can you please try these solution to address your concern.
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->
    Please report back to say if this helped you!
    Thank you.

    Are you using a cardbus with the camera or the drives? LaCie does not support the use of their drives with Canon cameras unless they are on separate buses. Macs only come with one built-in FireWire bus, so the recommendation is to use either a cardbus on a PowerBook a a FireWire card in a tower.

    You are hosed....
    You will need to go to Google to find the best way to get this off of your phone. If you have the beta software but you are not a developer, it means you are running a pirated copy of the iOS, and we can't help you here....

  • A friends husband has a new phone and can't send messages to his wife's old phone. Checked all settings under message

    What's the problem if a  new iPhone can't send texts to an old iPhone?  All settings are correct under messages.

    Hi staceyh94, 
    Welcome to the forum!
    Message sending can be interrupted by weak signal in your area. Also avoid touching the antenna area while trying to send a message. Contact with antennas (e.g. casings with magnets) affects the communication quality and may reduce battery life due to higher power level during operation. The antenna is located at the lower portion on the back of your phone. 
    You can also try to reset the phone by Settings> about> reset my phone. Note that resetting will delete all the data on your phone and will set to the "out of the box" state. But you can share your important photos to Skydrive for safe keeping. Contacts are normally saved on you Microsoft account.
    Please report back if this helps.
    Best regards,

  • Lock screen and keyboard sounds have quit working.  The settings are correct and the device is not muted.  What else can I do to get the sounds working again?

    Four days ago the lock screen and keyboard sounds quit working, but was able to reset the settings.  Two days ago I had to do this and turn off the device and then restart it to get the sounds back.  Today they suddenly went out and I can't get them working again.  The settings are correct and the device is not muted.  My OS is up to date.  What else can I do to get the sound back?

    how do i get the phone to ring when someone calls, it seems to only vibrate and I can't figure out how to turn on the ringer

    look in settings:sounds and be sure you have a ring tone set, and both vibrate buttons are off.  Also be sure the volume slider id as far right as is comfortable.
