IPhone 5 suddenly no receiver sound

Suddenly stopped receiver and can hear sound only through speaker phone or head phones. I followed diesel vdub's recommendations (Jan 8, 2013) replying to thopkins8's question, but non of them worked. Is this a possible hardware or OS issue?

IPhone 5S not receiving sound or vibrate text alerts from Android phones

I have recently noticed on my iPhone 5s, that when someone with an android phone sends a text message to me, there is no sound alert or vibration, even though both are set to on position. The problem does not occur for calls or email alerts, only text alerts and it does not happen when another iPhone user texts me. I am fully updated to iOS 8.1.2, I have restarted my phone. Any thoughts as to why only the texting alerts are affected and only from Android users? Thanks!

I think we do in fact have a similar problem. When my phone is in sleep mode is when it doesn't always produce phone rings and never gives text alerts. I just verified this by having my assistant call and text me from her Verizon Galaxy phone and call me from our office land line. From sleep mode my iPhone didn't ring with the first phone call from her cell or her first text message, but the text message did arrive. She said my phone went straight to voicemail on the call and the text showed as delivered. The land line test call did ring my iPhone. A second attempt to call my sleeping iPhone from her cell phone did result in my phone ringing. A second text attempt had the same result as the first, no alert, but the text did arrive. A third text attempt with my phone not in sleep mode resulted in a text alert with the arrival of the text. I did the same test, calling and texting my phone, with another iPhone 5s. My phone rang from sleep mode but didn't give a text alert.
So, it would seem that this is mostly a text alert issue only when the phone is in sleep mode. I'm going to review all my settings and failing finding something there that solves the problem I may call AT&T (if I am feeling patient). I'll report back if I find a solution.

Why is it that my iPhone 4 suddenly lost the sound bar in music and YouTube? I am able to make phone calls, but otherwise my iPhone is silent. It says that it is playing music, but no sound is emmitted, nor am I able to change this.

Why is it that my iPhone 4 suddenly lost the sound bar in music and YouTube? I am able to make phone calls and hear everything just fine. but otherwise my iPhone is silent. It says that it is playing music, but no sound is emmitted, nor am I able to change this.

Not knowing what steps were included in "all the troubleshooting possible with Apple people," I'll suggest you give the phone a chance to reprovision your cellular account.
First turn off Wi-Fi. Then power off your phone. Hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the power off slider. Then slide to power off. Turn the phone back on. After the phone starts watch to see if No Serive is displayed. Hopefully after 15-30 seconds that will change to the name of your cellular service provider and finally indicate LTE or 4G as well as include some dots indicating signal strength. You can then turn Wi-Fi back on.

i have tried to clean the audio jack too but result is the same. Can any body help me please.

No external sound or not sound at all - external or when using the earbuds?
Standard troubleshooting steps in order are; power the iPhone off and on, Reset by pressing and holding the Home key and Sleep/Wake or On/Off key simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so, Restore.
i had it once before, restored the iPhone and it was solved, but i don't want to restore my iPhone every day.
Does this happen every day? If not, when was the last time this happened?
If you have sound when using the earbuds, another thing to try is insert the earbuds and start playing a song - making sure the sound can be heard with the earbuds. Without pausing the song, remove the earbuds.
If no sound is available with the speaker and a the troubleshooting steps do not resolve it or one of the steps does resolve it but the same occurs again, time to give AppleCare a call (800) 694-7466 or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

Hi i received the nano 7th gen for Christmas and I only seem to get 5 hours of battery life. I use the Bluetooth and Nike app so I expect more drain on the battery. But I got more time out of running with my iPhone. Does this sound normal? I thought I should get close to 30 hrs of just play time alone.
ALso, my wife got me the Belkin armband to run with the nano but I sweat through the band resulting in the back of the iPod to get wet. Surely this is not good. Anyone have a recommendation for an armband that keeps moisture away from the pod?

iPod Nano are small and they don't use Wi-Fi access so you get less power time on a Nano. As for iPhone, since you got apps, Wi-Fi + 3G access, and everything else, they give you more time so you can keep using. Nanos are ment to listen to music, listen to radio, view your photos, watch videos (without Wi-Fi) and since you got BlueTooth on the nano, it counts as wireless access so it drains your battery faster.

IPhone 4 not receiving emails suddenly

My iPhone 4 has suddenly stopped receiving my emails. The following error message comes up - Cannot get mail - connection to the server failed. It is an hotmail account & has been working fine for the last 4 months??? Any ideas?

Lewis011, wondering if you ever figured out the magically fix. I am having the same exact problem. Everything mentioned here has been tried. April 12th was the last day I received mail in my Inbox (Go Daddy) account. I switched to an IMAP account the end of March and got everything set up on my Mac and iPhone with the intention of adding an iPad shortly. This happened and now I don't know!
I have deleted the account numerous times. Not only deleted the account but then restarted and the added it back in. I have been working with an Apple advisor and we have tried various port settings which I had also tried before contacting Apple for support. I can send mail from the account but cannot recieve in the Inbox.
Here's the kicker, on the Mac, I can move an email from the Inbox into one of my various folders I have made. Then go to my iPhone and go to that folder and there is the email. So I can see recent emails if I move them into folders but I cannot see those same emails in the Inbox.
I would be so grateful for any extra advise from anyone.

TS3899 My iPhone 4s suddenly stopped receiving incoming mail.

My iPhone 4s suddenly stopped receiving incoming mail. I am still able to send from my iPhone but not receive.My email is still coming through on the desktop, sending anbd receiving.

Thanks for the reply. The SMTP is the Outgoing , which is working. I cannot find the incoming settings though. Are there any? The settings were never changed by me, I think there has been a network change somewhere. AT&T or Apple. I have rebooted several times, and even did a restore. Same problem. The "checking email" and "last Updated xx/xx/xxxx" message at bottom of screen just constantly flashes on and off when I check email.
I can send email from my iPhone ok.

Suddenly, I cannot sync my Boselink with iPhone. Iphone 4s says Bose sound...not connected. I JUST updated software to iOS 6.1.3. Why isn't this working? I can not play pandora on my Bose.

They are absolutely now paired after doing all you said, as I reset both the Bose Link and the Iphone. Now we have a pair, but no sound on the speaker or the iphone when they are connected. I know they are connected b/c the iphone says they are in the blue tooth setting AND the Bose has a solid blue tooth light on.
Now what? This is beyond frustrating and only happened when I UPDATED ios!
Thank you!

IPhone suddenly no sound during phone conversation! Help!

Hi all,
Recently my iPhone suddenly no sound during phone conversation, can't hear any sound from the other side. However if i choose 'handfree' during call engaging then it's ok for external speaker. Also listening music is ok...
Also I obsevered that the light-sensor won't blank the screen. Is it hardware issue so that I have to send to Apple for repair?
Please help!! Thanks.
Regards,

Fixed..refer to some old post. Re-insert headphone plug several times and solved.

TS3274 my ipad 2 suddenly lost the sound. all else works.

my ipad 2 suddenly lost the sound. all else works.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

IPhone suddenly no longer receving emails!

Up until last Thursday, I was happily using my iPhone 3 to receive emails sent to my @mac.com account.
neevr had any problems.
Then suddenly, nothing!
Everyt time I click on the email icon on my iphone, all I get is a message saying my username or password for ".Mac" is incorrect.
I spoke to someone from, apple earlier and they told me to back up and update via iTiunes.
I did this but to no avail.
All that seems to have happened is I've lost the music I had on my phone in my itunes and lost all the emails I had there.
Still not able to receive anything.
I can get my emails via icloud online, but that's it!
Very annoying.
Any help most appreciated.
Hugh

Hello there -
Thanks for your help.
To answer a few questions . . . if I click that link above in Peter Smith's comments, it takes me to the Mobileme site, where I can log in, but it then tells me that Mail is now in iCloud and redirects me there. So that's not a problem.
The music situation was as you described it, yes: I had music on your phone, did some backup and restore activities and then the music did not get transferred into my iTunes library. I have a lot of other music stored in iTunes, but would've liked to just kep the special stuff I'd secleted to have in the phone. Can't remember exactly what it all was and thus can't simply reload it all.
Finally, as for deleting and manually recreating the account with the Mail app on your iPhone . . . could you tell me in more detail how I'd go about doing that?

Sounds like it is using your Apple ID / Associated Emails to receive the iMessage. This means that the person who is replying is making it go to your email address. Make sure that the person you are sending the iMessage to has an iPhone as well. I don't remember if other iOS devices can send iMessages to a mobile phone number.

Iphone 4 not receiving photo text messages - would welcome your thoughts

Iphone 4 is receiving word texts but not photo texts - set up with MMS not imessage. Would welcome your thoughts.

Initially it sounds like something with your backup data caused the issue with your new device but if you restored your device again without using the backup and the issue still exists it wouldn't appear to be the issue at all. Since the problem seems to only be with one person are you sure it's not an issue on their end and with their network that is stopping you from receiving the messages? Have you tried *228 option 2 to see if that helps?
