IPhone 3G 2.0.1 Doesnt Ring on Text Message

Whenever I get a text message my iPhone doesnt ring, I've tried resetting the network settings and that fixes it temporarily, for about a day or 2. It is really disappointing I have to reset my phone everyday just for it to ring. I never had this problem with 2.0 or any of the 1.X versions on my first gen. I'm on EDGE (no 3G near me) with typically 3-5 bars

this is by far the most annoying bug with the iphone thus far, i cannot for the life of me figure out what causes it. I have deleted all apps that would appear to gather info thru text including AP news and myspace and it still does it, i have tried messing around with fetch and push settings to no avail, i have had it where one text will ring and the next one wont, sometimes it will go a day and sometimes the first text after a reset will go silent, dont believe apple if they tell you they are unaware because i have emailed them 3 times about it. Im getting at the end of my rope and im about to call up someone and complain in an actual voice.
I have owned countless phones and never have i had such a simple thing as a text ringer fail so wonderfully like this. I realize that there are bigger issues that need attention but at the same time this is an issue that shouldnt even happen, its like putting the cart before the horse, the phone does all this great stuff but we cant get a steady reliable ringer for texts

    "Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage.   You will need to create a separate id for you wife.  OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

    You are only as young as you feel......
    This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.

  • IPhone 4 rebooted itself and deleted all my text messages??

    My iPhone 4 just turned itself off and rebooted and when it came back on every single text message was deleted. What would cause this?? I feel like it has been running slow and buggy lately. But have the latest software. Not sure what I can do??

    Did you fix it?  I tried to copy paste but was unable to.  Did you write "lost text" in the search?  I am going to insert the link I found.  Let me know how it works out.  VERY IMPORTANT...DO NOT SYNC YOUR PHONE!!!  RESTORE FROM BACK UP FIRST...ONCE YOU SYNC, YOU CAN NEVER RETRIEVE

  • Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack

    Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

    Ugh I am not doing any of those things.
    I do have alot of issues with my email getting hacked often, could that have anything to do with it?
    I also do not believe my phone is jailbroken but to be honest I am not very smart with this.
    Basically text messages (inappropriate) were sent to a person in my contacts...and a text message conversation was had for about 30 that I had no idea was even going on. I noticed it on my ipad later (they are synced and normally recieve all the same messages etc). The conversation then just ended out of no where.
    Very odd...and I am nervous that someone has control over my phone.

  • After updating to ios 6.0 my iphone doesnt notify of text messages

    After updating to ios 6 my iphone doesnt notify of text messages

    Verify the Messages notifications are enabled.
    Settings > Notifications > Messages > Alert Style > Set to anything other then None, although Banners go away automatically.
    Also double check here that the Badge App Icon is enabled, so you'll see that red number with the amount of messages waiting to be viewed. You'll also have an option here to View in Lock Screen.

  • IPhone 4 does not notify me of a text message while I am using another app

    What gives?? I have not changed any settings on my iPhone but I recently noticed that when I am actively using another app (any app from social networking to games, etc.) my phone does not vibrate/ring/otherwise notify me that I have received a text. The only way I can tell if I have received a text is if I exit an app, then scroll over to my messages and see if there is an icon to show that I have a new message. How can I fix this? When I am not using my iPhone for anything else, my text message notifications work fine. Thanks for your help!

    Nope, text messages are set to alert style, none of these settings has changed. Like I said, it's only an intermittent problem that happens while I am using another app or mail or Safari or whatever. Strangely enough, when I am using a music app (Pandora, etc.) that does not require me to actively use it (for example, I am listening to music but the lock screen is on, and when I unlock I'm just on my home screen... I do get text alerts. This is so weird and such a pain!

  • Why doesn't my iPhone notify me when I have a new text message?

    My iPhone 4S doesn't notify me when I get a new text message or iMessage. The phone is not in silent and the volume of the phone is at 10. I keep my phone near me all the time, I can hear the phone ring if it rings. Usually when I text someone, I send the message and immediately lock the phone after. After about 15 minutes wondering if that person replied, I open my phone and find that I have a new message, the phone didn't ring or light up saying I have a new message. The people I text get mad because I never reply, but the truth is, my phone doesn't notify with a new message.
    Sometimes I send a text, press the home button, and then lock my phone. Even when I do that, my phone doesn't notify me. What wrong with my phone? How do I fix this?

    I never drain my battery 100% unless I have no other choice. Such a deep battery discharge is not good for the battery and should not be done often.
    No, the phone cannot "drain the battery 100%,"  The shutdown cutoff is way above battery depletion and is designed not to damage the battery when done occasionally (though doing so repetitively over a long period may shorten battery life span).
    Draining the battery to cut off keeps the meter calibrated and Apple recommends doing so monthly.  Also, a small memory effect has recently been documented for Li-ion batteries and this will help prevent it.

  • IPhone 6 sometimes does not make noise for text messages

    I have the switch turned up so it is not on silent, volume turned up all the way, and do not disturb is turned off. Sometimes when I receive text messages (both SMS and iMessage) my phone does not make the ringtone noise, but it always vibrates. This only happens SOMETIMES. I recently upgraded from iPhone 5 to 6 and I had this issue with my 5 as well. This has been beyond frustrating, and I thought upgrading to a 6 would fix this, but it has not. Please help!

    double check your do not disturb settings (see if there is a moon icon displayed beside your battery icon) if so, go to settings>Do not disturb and turn it off.
    That is only setting where you can make the phone not to ring when it is locked,
    it's under Settings>Do Not Disturb>"Silence"
    "Only While iphone is locked"
