I can't hear my phone ring (or text or any sounds)

I went through all of the sound settings but still can't hear anything.  I can get it to vibrate.
Ever since I updated the operating system, I've been having problems.  I soooo much wish that I never did it!!!
Thanks for any help!

This was also driving me nuts as my phone was not on mute yet I could not hear it ring. Then I noticed the little half moon symbol in the top right corner. What was that? It meant 'do not disturb' was on. Somehow - don't know how - the 'do not disturb' function had been turned on, so turning it off (Settings) fixed the problem. Yey!!!

    If there's an Apple store nearby make an appointment with the genius bar to have it checked.  Be sure to sync it and back it up, as well as import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately (such as by sync them with iCloud) in case it needs to be replaced.

  • My speaker on my iPhone 4s stopped working. I can't hear my phone ringing, music, apps or use the speaker when having a call.  I can still make and take calls when I see them calling but can't hear the phone ring.

    This afternoon my speaker on my phone stopped working. I can not hear it ringing when someone call, but if I see someone calling and I answer the call they can hear me and I can hear them fine. I also can't not put the caller on speaker at all , I also can't hear my music or gaming apps. When I turn my phone on or off it does not make a sound as well. I have turned the phone off and turned it off by pressing the top button and home button at the same time and that did not work. I checked the volume and the mute button and the volume is up all the way. I don't know what else to do can you please help me?

    I have had this happen to me on 3GS, 4 and 4s.   Usually the solution is one of the following:
    1-  If  your volume indicator says  headphones even though they are not plugged in, then:
    Stick your headphones into the headphone jack and then remove quickly.
    2. If that does not work Power your phone off. Then when restarting Reset the phone by pressing the home button and the power button at the same time until the apple logo appears.
    3. Make sure you have not chosen to send audio to an Airplay device such as Apple Tv.
    Hope one of these works for you

  • Can't hear my phone ringing even on Loud profile or my own profile

    I have a Verizon 8830 and no matter what I do, my ringtones and my own created sounds are played low when the phone rings. They sound fine in the sound player. Has anyone gotten an answer on how to fix this. I've tried all the work arounds and am at version. 4.5 on the software. Volume is as loud as it will go. Even tried increasing the sounds and then reload them which didn't help either. Why doesn't blackberry fix this issue.

    Hi,
    OS reload should resolve.

  • Can only hear the phone ring - no tones for alerts

    I own a 4S and recently the only sound that seems to work is the ringer and Siri. All the tones for alerts will not play through the speaker. I have tested them using headphones and I can here them fine. I have checked the volume and it appears to be fine. I have read aobut the possibility that my headphone jack is messed up but when I go to turn up the volume without the headphone it dones not indicate that headphones are plugged in.
    I have reset the unit and still am having issues.

    Omy... When you initially start setup a phone after resetting it, it will ask you if you want to set it up as a new phone or use one of the user profiles from the saved backups. If I am using the wrong verbage, excuse me. Again, the phone is NOT jail broken, so please allow this to serve as one less conspiracy theory you may have in your mind. It is currently on ios 6.1.3. No frills, no spills. Nothing up my sleeves.
    I am trying to fix my daughters phone for her and am looking for some friendly assistance. If you can't help me, thank you for your time and I hope some one else will gladly assist me.

  • Hearing Aid connection, can't hear the iPhone ring.

    Hearing Aids and iPhone4
    Hi, I have a Phonak Audeo Smart hearing aid, connected via a Phonak iCom Bluetooth system to my iPhone 4.  The bluetooth pairs and connects without a problem, I can hear the call and hang up via the main iCom button, but I cannot hear the call ringing in and so I don't know when I receive a call and don't know how to answer it.  The connection seems to be made automatically but I don't know that it has happened. I have the latest IOS, I've tried different iPhone ring tones and also tried silent mode so the phone itself doesn't ring at all, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

    AND I ALSO CANNOT UPDATE MY APPS??     DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THE SPEAKER AND APP PROBLEM???

  • Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on it works

    Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on I can hear the ringing?

    Don't jump all the way to restoring just yet.  Check to make sure there's nothing in the headphone jack, and nothing covering the microphones (including the noise cancelling microphone at the top next to the headset jack)
    1. Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    2. Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    3. Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    4. Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • My IPhone's volume is not working. I have checked and tried everything. When I use my headset I can hear when phone rings or receive text msg when I pull the jack out I have no sound on anything

    I had this problem with my 4s a couple of times when I'd taken the headphones out and it hasn't registered it. My solution was easy, all I had to do was turn the phone off and then on again.
    Although I'm sure you've already tried this its a sometimes forgotten and very easy solution to a lot of problems. I hope you find out what's wrong.

  • I can't hear my phone calls unless I put it on speaker. Tried cleaning by blowing on earpiece and headphone jack and pushing near front camera and earpiece speaker...no luck. HELP!

    I can't hear my phone calls unless I put it on speaker. Tried cleaning by blowing on earpiece and headphone jack and pushing near front camera and earpiece speaker...no luck. HELP!

    If you've tried everything mentioned you probably have a failed earpiece. One option is to get a BlueTooth headset and use it for all calls. It will be cheaper than the $199 out-of-warranty replacement price from Apple (if it's still in warranty or AppleCare it will be free). Good BT headsets can be had for around $40. And it will hold you over until the Next New Thing from Apple is available

    I can't hear my phone anymore.  All volumes are turned up, but very low/no sound.  How do I fix it?

    Do you hear through a headset?  If so, try plugging and unplugging a headset 5-10 times to free up a stuck headset mode switch.  See this:
