IPhone 4s Ringtone No Longer Works

My message alert tone will only work if the message application is open on the screen. This applies to vibrate as well. The ringtones still go off when receiving phone calls, but never for text messages. Help!

  • My Iphone 5 will no longer work with my two year old Bose dock?  I'm using an "Apple" 30 pin to Fire adapter

    My Iphone 5 will no longer work wiht my Bose Dock?  The dock is two years old and I'm using an "Apple" 30 pin to Fire adapter?  It stopped after software upgrades?

    I Have the exact same issue. Bose sound dock 3 and it does not work for me with my iPad air 2 and iPhone 5 anymore.
    Used to to work fine 2 weeks ago.
    Is it to do with updating to iOS 8.1.3?
    Thanks.

  • Update 10.2.2 older ipod/iphone sync cables no longer work.

    Update 10.2.2. I updated to 10.2.2 and my older ipod/iphone sync cables no longer work. Im talking about the cables with the longer connector and the connector locks not the new style that is a short plug with no lock. Anyone else having this issue?
    Tried normal steps, reinstall restart etc. No change. I'm at work and the cable works fine on 10.2.1.1 something in the update must have changed.

    On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
    Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
    You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
    What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
    My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

  • My iPhone 4s is no longer working.

    My iPhone 4s is no longer working. It kept turning off and on on it's own and i tried to restore it. I pressed the lock and home button. I connected it to itunes as it says. Once in itunes it says the iPhone is on recovery mode and then when it is suppose to restore it says :Verifling with apple and connecting to iphone. Then another screen pops but that an unknown error has happened and doesn't recovery it. What can I do?

    It has no serial number or nothing.

  • My Contracted SIM is for an android phone, but when i put the sim in an iphone my 3g no longer works?..

    My Contracted SIM is for an android phone, but when i put the sim in an iphone my 3g no longer works?.. Is it because my 3g is only active on the android os and not the ios platform? Texts, Calls and Wifi work fine but the 3g doesn't work. My phone only shows 'GPRS' in the top left corner. Also I get a message come up saying "Could not activate mobile data network. You are not subscribed to a mobile data service".
    Any advice would be great.

    Hi hexonxonx, I'm on o2. Thanks for your advice. You are right. All I had to do was change one of my APN settings to mobile.o2.co.uk and reboot my phone and this sorted it out straight away! Thanks again. Much appreciated . I was thinking I was going to have to go back to an android phone to use my 3g again but this eliminated that need. Thanks.

  • The Speaker phone option on my iPhone 4s is no longer working! Help!!

    The Speaker phone option on my iPhone 4s is no longer working.  Whenever I press the speakerphone button I can no longer hear anything and can not get back to the call.  I then must end the call in order to hear anything again.  Its not the actual fault of the speaker either because I can still play music and hear it ring. It has always worked before and my phone is up to date. It seems to be the only thing that just randomly stopped working, and I use the speakphone option a lot.  Help me please!!
    Cheers!

  • My iphone 5s Bluetooth no longer works in my 2014 honda accord, ever since i updated the software two months ago. Can anyone help?

    My iphone 5s Bluetooth no longer works in my 2014 honda accord, ever since i updated the software two months ago. Can anyone help?

    Problems with Bluetooth connections are generally traced back to the vehicle. If you search here in the forum you will find a number of posts with issues connecting with Honda vehicles. Try removing the phone from the vehicle's list of Bluetooth devices. Then try removing the vehicle from the iPhone's list of Bluetooth devices. Then place both devices back in discovery/pairing mode and try to connect them. You may need to take the device to the dealer to check for software updates.
    Next, I understand it used to connect, however software updates for the iPhone will load the latest Bluetooth stack into the phone and vehicles do not always get updated as often. You can also check this support document for frequently asked questions and the other for additional troubleshooting instructions.   Wireless input devices: Bluetooth frequently asked questions  iOS: Third-party Bluetooth accessories

  • DRM Ringtones no longer work

    I purchased 4 ".dcf" ringtones from VW and they have been working until a couple of days ago.  They are on my phone (not SD card) but suddenly no longer work and are no longer seen on the settings>sound>phone ringtone list.  When I go to one of these files and tap it,I get a message "unable to open this type of file.".  Anyone have any idea on how to fix this issue?

    I had the same problem on an iPhone 4, but none of my ringtones would work - the phone would only vibrate when ringing. I did a hard reset by doing the following and that fixed the problem for me:
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for about ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why do third party ringtones no longer work in itunes?

    Hi
    Or is it just me?
    I have been able to create my own in the past but this no longer works!
    I remember doing it in the distant past with an app that allowed access to your iPhone 3.. you just copied the m4r files there and the next time you looked they were there! I know this is a bit extreme and I really don't want to do that on my shiny new phone!
    Thanks!
    Fredy

    Duplicate your copy of iTunes 10.x before upgrading to iTunes 11 (or restore it from a backup) and use iTunes 10.x to listen to (and in particular access the links in) podcasts. Further, file a bug with Apple that these links don't work when the album art is displayed in the album art mini-player.

  • My iphone 5 charge no longer works

    As soon as I upgraded to 7, my APPLE chargers no longer worked for my iPhone 5. What's going on?

    Hi, I had the exact same problems on my 4S for about a month. I tried all of the previous rememdies without success. It appears if the contacts of the docking port are dirty/corroded this will prevent you speakers from working. Who would have thought of that!!
    I finially got mine to work by cleaning the contacts on the docking port with a tootpick, a small piece of paper towel and a drop of window cleaner. I used  the following method:
    Firstly turn off your phone.
    Take the toothpick and gently clean away all foriegn bodies and corrosion products from in and around the contacts, blowing hard into the dock port to remove all loose particals.
    Take a small piece of paper towel and dampened it with window cleaner. Using the tooth pick to push the towel into the port, wiping out the contacts and port. Do this a couple of times using a clean piece of towel each time.
    Finally blow hard into the port and visual check for any lint, towel etc remaining around the contacts.
    Turn on your phone and check the function by using the volume buttons on the side. If you get the ringer volume appear with the level displayed your speaker should now be functioning correctly.
    I hope this is helpful and this fixes your phone too!

  • IOS6.0 iPhone 4s Groups no longer work?

    I just updated my iPhone 4S with iOS6.0 and now the groups function in contacts no longer works?  ie I can no longer select a group to only see those contacts in that group.  Please fix this asap as I use this function a lot.  I have checked on my mac and it's fine there and in iCloud its fine also.
    Seems it was just a case of stupid user syndrome by me! The interface has changed so that when you enter the groups list each list has a tick next to it, and if you uncheck all the groups except the one you want then hit done that list comes up.  With the old method you simply tapped the group and the list was displayed.  Not sure why this was changed but simple enough now I worked it out.

    That doesn't work for me. All I can do is either tick the group, or untick it. I cannot access any group's contact list, and I have tried and tried. If I un-tick all the groups but the one whose members I want to see, and then touch the one grouop that's still ticked, all that happens is that the remaining group gets UN-ticked.
    I wonder if this has to do with how the groups were created; mine were originally created using an obsolete app called Contact Grouper, which worked through iOS 5.xxx, and no longer is functional. It seems that on the iPhone I have no ability to access a contact group, without finding a new workaround.

  • ITunes restore iPhone SIM Card no longer works.

    Ok, I had all my contacts and information backuped onto my computer so I could easily transfer them from my 16GB 3G to my new 32GB 3GS. After being restored and synced with my computer my SIM Card no longer works. It wont let me place a call or text. When I un-plug the SIM Card and then plug it back in a message comes up saying invalid SIM and then disappears. Also it either has 1 "bar" with the rest flat and no AT&T logo or 3G, or says No Service.

    Sounds like you need to call AT&T.
