IPhone 4S no longer rings

iPhone 4S stopped ringing - please help!! 
Would anyone please help with my issue.
I've ensured the mute button is "off" on the side of the phone and in the settings
I've synced the phone
I've turned it off and on again to restore, however nothing has worked
The phone only vibrates when I receive a call
In the Settings > Sounds > Sounds & Vibration Patterns > Ringtone - when I select a different ringtone or check my existing ringtone it does not make a sound - it just vibrates
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone at all could help me.

Hi meg,
Try by restarting your phone. Press the Home button and Power button at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears. See if that fixes your issue.
Also, make sure the button on the upper left-hand side of the phone, just above the volume buttons is not set to "Mute". The button should be pushed toward the top of the phone.
Cheers,
GB

  • Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?

    Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
    During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call.  So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of.  Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message.  Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message. 

    Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

  • HT4976 Since updating my iphone 4S to ios 7.1 my phone will no longer ring and apps do not have sound.

    Since updating my iphone 4S to ios 7.1 my phone will no longer ring and apps do not have sound. I have made sure the do not disturb is not turned on and have also gone into Accessibility and made sure sound is not off there.  I have done a reboot and also a reset of the settings.  When I set my ring tone, the sample tone plays, however, the phone only vibrates when I get a call. The apps also do not have any sound. Everything was working fine until the update.

    I am positive the half moon isn't there. That one caught me once before so now I am careful to check.
    Thanks for the idea tho!

  • TS1630 My iPhone 4s no longer has an audible ring for incoming calls?

    My phone no longer rings to announce incoming calls?

    I too have no audible ring for calls, no sounds for games, text alerts, etc.  I do not have the silent switch turned on.  This occured last night while playing Words for Friends.  I've checked sounds under settings and sounds is turned on.  Any solutions?

  • How do I use a song stored in ipod on my iPhone 4 as a ring tone

    How do I use a song stored in ipod on my iPhone 4 as a ring tone

    You need to use an App like Ringtone Maker or Ringtone Wizard Pro for that.
    Or, what I do is to make my own ringtones with music I have in my computer and then sync them to my iPhone following this steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
    Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
    Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
    Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
    Click the "Options" tab.
    Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
    Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
    Click "OK."
    Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
    Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
    Click on the "Keep Files" button.
    Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
    Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
    Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
    Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
    Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
    Hope this was helpful

  • My iPhone 5 will not ring when my phone number is called.

    Despite the "Silent" button on the side of the iPhone 5 being set to off, and the ringer turned on full blast, my iPhone 5 will not ring when any number calls my phone. This is not an issue with the settings, which are all set for the phone to ring. Has anyone else run into this problem, or may have a solution besides taking the phone in for repair? My phone is no longer covered under the one year limited manufacturer's warranty, so any repair is likely going to cost a minimum of almost $300.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

  • HT204019 My phone no longer rings properly the button on the side has not been put on silent. Any ideas

    My iPhone  no longer rings when someone calls and I have no txt tone either. The button on the side is not on silent

    Sounds like it either believes that there are headphones plugged in, or the switch is broken.
    Why in the world would you take it to Best Buy for service? Take it to an Apple Store. They can replace it on the spot if it's defective.

  • IPhone 6 recently stopped ringing and making text alert sounds since most recent upgrade to ios 8.1.1, has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you correct?

    AFter recent upgrade to ios 8.1.1, my iphone 6 no longer makes text alert sounds and ring does not sound for incoming calls (except on car bluetooth).  has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you correct?

    I had the same problem until tonight. Played with ring tones, do not disturb, volume, and everything else posted. What I found is that when you go to sounds/text tone, there are two types of tones in the scrolling menu. The top set of tones are for alert tones and the bottom set are ringtones. They are separated by a gray bar that states their purpose. Many of the tones are the same name. You need to set your text alert in the Ringtones and reminders, alarms, and such in alerts. The weird thing about this menu is when you go to sounds/ringtone the menu is reversed. Mine works in locked mode or unlocked now. I have an Iphone 6 8.1.2. My problem started after my latest OS upgrade. Hope this helps.

  • My iphone 4 does not ring - the mute button is off - can hear calls coming in but not on the speaker - no music or ringtones

    My iphone 4 does not ring - the mute button is off - can hear calls coming in only by vibrate - cannot talk using speaker - no music not ringtones  - It is not the mute button!

    Sorry this took so long... This sounds hokey, but there is a sensor inside the headset jack on the iPhone that is sticking.
    First; unplug the headset and try.  Then, if does not ring still - do a reset with the headset out.  Reset = hold the Home button and the sleep bottom on top at the same time until you see the Apple (ignore the slide to power off).
    If this does not wor - here comes the hokey part... and you can take it by an Apple store at this point; anyway, use a tooth pick (wooden) and twigged it around in the jack on the gentle side.
    Only try that last "hokey" part because it could be hardware in there sticking.
    After that - have you called Apple Care?... It is a repair issue.
    Good luck

  • When someone calls all the IPhones in the house ring, what is wrong?

    When someone calls all the IPhones in the house ring, what is wrong.

    You share the same Apple ID and in iOS 8 there is a new feature, which if you didn't share the same ID, you can answer a call on another device if one is another room as long as they are both on iOS 8.  To stop this, go to Settings > Facetime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.  That will stop this for you.
