Check the position of the mute switch. On the side, just above the volume keys.

Hi, this is amit from india. just started using iphone 4s. i am observing that when an incoming call comes, the phone smtimes shows two virtual buttons of red and green color so as to attend or reject the call. but smtimes it just shows green button with a slider to attend the call and there is no red button to reject the call. is it a bug or some setting?
Because it behaves differently depending on whether the phone is locked (in standby) or unlocked (in use) when the call comes in.

My iphone 4s has no sound. Music doesn't play and phone doesn't ring. The speaker phone doesn't work either. It only vibrates. Can anyone help? I have tried all possible ways of trying to fix this issue. Someone mentioned that the speaker is bad.

There are two places where vibrations can be set.
One is the Settings > Sounds
The other area is Settings > Notifications
If you have an app set to Alert, it may have a vibration set for it.

my phone doesn't ring when someone is calling, but the sound works otherwise, like the alarm etc. I have tried to fix it in settings but still not working. anyone else have this problem?
Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue! -
i got problem updating my iphone 3g. my phone doesn't work now. it says no service and can not be activated.beside that it says insert sim even it has sim. please help me.
I have just created this account to tell you that nothing would change if you restored your phone.
The first NO SIM nuisance happened just a week ago. Nothing had been done to the phone before that. I pressed HOME + POWER buttons to restart the phone and SIM card was successfully recognized as if nothing had happened. Then I had a lucky week, not reminded of this issue at all.
Today, however, the same problem keeps annoying me. I've used the same method to heal the phone but all I have done seems more like a placebo. So I tried the ultimate solution, restroing it in iTunes.
Ridicuously, the moment I finished basic setup on the newly restored phone, the same NO SIM CARD INSTALLED message poped up.
So IMO, it's not what you should do to erase and restore your phone.
Plus, I called my native carrier and they said no such problems have been submitted. And since my nano SIM card is quite new (three months old), I'm not going to replace it.
I googled this problem and found something on a Hong Kong webpage. The author of that thread points out that there is a flaw in the SIM card tray that prevents the phone from successfully recognizing SIM cards.
And I really hope Apple could probe into this issue and give official solutions other than restarting / restoring the phone like an idiot. -
No audio after 4.0 upgrade. my phone doesn't ring. any suggestions?
When I upgraded my phone software, all my audio sounds quit working. My phone doesn't ring when I get a call or text message. I already have a boatload of time involved in trying to fix this. My apple experience is turning sour very quickly. I'm sorry I ever bought this phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you check to see the silent button on the side hasn't been activated?
I am going to publicly humiliated myself and at the same time thank you profusely. I can't tell you how stupid I feel. I am very grateful you took the time to answer an old novice like me. I didn't even know there was such a button and don't know how it got moved but I will know more after today. Thank you again. -
I have just bought iphone 4 and when I make calls i don't hear anything from the headset excep when i plug in the headphones or turn on speaker ?
I have the same problem. It only started a few days ago. When I make or receive calls I have to use speaker otherwise I can't hear a thing. I'm also pretty sure that when I try to make calls without the speaker turned on, it doesn't actually dial, but the display says it has.
I've tried restoring from a backup with no luck. I'm reluctant to restore as a new phone as it's such a pain. -
How do you set the Iphone 5 to go to voicemail on the 2nd ring, not the 5th ring?
How do you set the IPhone 5 (C) to go to voicemail on the 2nd ring instead of the 5th ring. This phone is for my private practice and I will lose clients if the phone rings too many times before it is answered by my voicemail greeting.
Contact your wireless provider.

You do a restore as new to wipe the iPhone then at the end of restore you will be asked to restore from backup. Choose your iPhone backup.
Note you cannot restore an IOS newer than the IOS on iPhone, you need to update iPhone first. -
Upgraded my phone to iphone 6 from iphone 4. My iTunes with all my music is on a computer that no longer works and can't access the music. Will iTunes Match allow me to get my music off of my iphone 4 and put it on my iphone 6? Sorry about copying twice, new to this.
Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

I bought the apple iphone 4G J-5 from Laos and now want to use it in India using the normal Airtel SIM but am not able to make calls from the phone plz. help
Is this what you have? (see above?) That's what I get when I search for iPhone 4G J-5 in Google.
If so, this is NOT an iPhone! It is NOT made or sold by Apple. You have a cheap Chinese knockoff. -

Calls can be declined by hitting the sleep/wake button twice quickly.
Decline a call and send it directly to voicemail. Do one of the following:
Press the Sleep/Wake button twice quickly.
