HT201401 My iphone 4 is not ringing, or notifying me when i get a text message or email

My iphone4 is not ringing, or notifying me when I get a text message or email. It does however vibrate, the alarm works, and I am able to play music. The button to swith vibrate on and off, seems to not be working. Also, the sound buttons. The up button does not work, but the down button does. I have restarted, restored, and changed the ring. Nothing seems to be working. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you go about getting it fixed?

Did you accidentally move the slider button above the volume control to the "off" position (orange dot visible)? My husband used to do that all the time.

TS4268 My iphone 5 does not notify me when I get a text or incoming call anymore.

My iphone 5 does not notify me when I get a text or incoming call anymore. It will appear on the screen, but the screen does not light up and it does not give me a tone. If the phone is open (home page or any other screen) it will give me a tone.

Turn off Do Not Disturb.

My Iphone 5 will not notify me when I have a text message. There is not banner notification, not sound, or vibration. I have to click on the message icon to even see if I have a text message.

Settings app > Notification Center > Messages (you will need to check both the INCLUDE and DO NOT INCLUDE sections). Set the alerts you wish to see.

Picture messages without a texting plan are 25 cents each. Better than the $1.99 or $2.99 from the online store....
Attaching to an email would not work as mobile email does "do" attachments.
Sending to your online album will use text messages, I believe. Better to use a micro SD card, save to the card, and transfer them to your computer that way.

I have the iPhone 4. and when I updated the software to iOS6 My notifications don't make a sound anymore, the only sound that I get are text messages, or Email. I checked to see if the other apps were muted and they weren't. How do I fix this??

You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

I have an iphone 4s why does it have a black screen instead of my background picture when I get a text message?

I have an iphone 4S why does it have a black screen instead of my background picture when I get a text message?

When you see the old number come up in the suggested choices look for a blue arrow to the right of the Contact. Tap the blue arrow and then tap Remove from Recents.

HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
Help!

That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

HT201401 My iphone would not ring with incoming calls, despite ring tone was set up?

My iphone would not ring with incoming call despite ring tone was set up using sound setting. In the beginning, it did ring. After a while it stops working. Any idea to make it work again?

Is the silent switch on the side of the iphone on?

My iphone will not ring with an incoming call or an incoming text

Hello tmacmillin,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like there is no sound with an incoming phone call or text. Have you checked to see if Do Not Disturb was accidentally enabled? You will see a "moon" icon in the status bar if it is enabled.
You can disable Do Not Disturb in Settings > Do Not Disturb or in the Control Center as described in the following articles:

If you are not hearing any sound from your speakers, I suggest reviewing the following article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

IPhone will not ring if locked even when Do Not Disturb is not on. Even when the sound toggle on the side is not red. This problem occurs regardless of whether it I have Do not Disturb on (manually, or scheduled) or COMPLETELY OFF.

iPhone will not ring if locked when when Do Not Disturb is not on and the phone is not on silent (button on side is not red). This problem occurs regardless of whether it I have Do not Disturb on (manually, or scheduled) or COMPLETELY OFF. I've tried wiping the phone and reinstalling from a saved copy but of course the problem comes back because the problem is inherent in the save. There are two options under "Silence" at the bottom of the Do Not Disturb preferences. "Always" or "Only when iPhone is locked". Those are the only two options and I want neither. No amount of deselecting will work. It forces you to pick one.
Does anyone have a solution given that I've better explained the problem?

The settings at the bottom of the Do Not Disturb page do not matter if you have the switch for Manual turned to off, or the Scheduled turned to off.
When the phone is unlocked, if you try to raise the volume of the ringer, what do you see on the screen? Does it say ringer, do you see the word headphones anywhere?

IPhone 4S isn't telling me when I get a text message

Ill get a text message or iMessage and it won't have a banner or anything on the lock screen so ill unlock my phone and the message will just be there this started happening right after I updated to 6.1.3 how can I fix this?

Check if there's a moon icon on the top right of the screen by the battery icon. If you see that icon your "Do not disturb" is on; turn it off and it should fix the problem. I don't recall turning that function on in the first place, but when I checked it was enabled.

HT201401 my Iphone does not ring or vibrate. How do I fix this problem?

You might need to UPDATE the DRIVER for your iPhone in DEVICE MANAGER.
I searched quite a few Blogs and the answer below fixed my issue:
Windows 7 incorrectly identifies the device as a Digital Camera.
To fix this:
- Plug in your iPhone (don’t have iTunes loaded at this time)
- Go to Device Manager (Click Start, right-click Computer, then click Properties. In the window that appears choose “Device Manager” on the left)
- Scroll down and find “Apple iPod” or “Apple iPhone”
It will likely be under the “Portable Devices” category.
- Right-click the Apple device and choose “Update Driver Software…”
- Choose “Browse my computer for driver software” in the window that appears
- It will ask you for a location; you want to Browse to this folder (location is the same in 32 and 64 bit Windows):
32-bit and 64-bit: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
- Click Next
- It should find the driver for your device; let it install that driver
Once you complete these steps, reboot your computer. Once you reboot everything should work exactly as expected!

Why won't my sound work when I get a text msg or email. Only works for the ringer?

My new iPhone 4S doesn't have sound when I receive a text msg, email, or Facebook notice. I only hear the ringer when I receive a call. How can I fix this. Thanks

Do you have sounds turned on for these types of notifications? Also, if you have notifications turned on, do the sounds show up in the Notifications settings area for the particular apps?
