Iphone 5 will only ring 50% of the time....

I have had my iPhone 5S since they first came out and have had little to no problems.  In the past 4-6 weeks I have had daily issues with my phone not ringing at all!  It is not always the same person and I am not always in the same location but it will NOT RING!  Then someone else or the same person could call me and it will ring!  What is going on?  I know two others that are having this same problem with their iPhone 5s as well.
Unless Verizon has cut back on their coverage area I don't understand why my phone all of a sudden will not ring!  I haven't had this issue any other time and the locations I use the phone at are the same as they have always been!
Can anyone help?

I have the exact same problem with my iPhone 5 as saratongel.  It is extremely frustrating!    I have it set to both ring and vibrate, and when the problem occurs it also does not vibrate.  Often times, I will be holding my phone while expecting an important call and suddenly I get notice that I have a new voice message.  Such message is usually along the lines of: "why don't you answer your #%$&^ phone???!!" 
I just tried the reset network settings solution, but I don't know if it has fixed it since it is a random thing.  I'm wondering if saratongel is still experiencing the problem.
Thanks.

  • IPhone 4s will only ring with default ringtone. Why?

    I have assigned separate ringtones to family members but they when they call my iPhone 4s, it  always rings with the default ringtone. I think I set it up properly but i need some advice of what to do next.

    If you go to Settings > Notifications > for each app you want to be notified turn on Notification Center...see if that doesn't get sound/vibrate for each.

  • Photos in my from my iPhone have same numbering as photos from my dig camera.  They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name.  Help?

    Photos in my from my iPhone have the same numbering as photos from my digital camera.  They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name.  How do I get them all to save on my ext hard drive and hope do I prevent this numbering overlap in the future?  I'm really hoping I don't have to go through and manually rename every single picture.  Thanks.

    How are you backing up the photos?  The best way is to backup the library itself as that will preserve your organizational efforts as well as all metadata like keywords, titles, faces, places, books, etc.
    You can use a backup application that does incremental backups.  Thus only the first backup is a full one and subsequent backups just copy those files that are new or changed. I use Synk Pro.  The lower cost version, Synk, will do the same job.  Other similar apps can be found at MacUpdate.com.  
    OR: upload your camera to a folder on the Desktop. There you can rename the files to something that is more informative than just the file name.  I use the date (international format) along with a brief desc: 2007-1-20-adian1stbday-001.jpg.  File renaming apps can also be found at MacUpdate.com.  Also you can give the folder an informatve name which will become the Event name when you import the folder of photos into iPhoto.

  • HT4859 I backedup iphone 4 and iphone 5 to icloud. I need contacts from the ipone 4 backup but I do not have that phone anymore and icloud will only let me restore the iphone 5's backups now. Is there anyway to get the contacts from my previous iphone 4?

    I backedup my iphone 4 to the cloud before upgrading to an iphone 5. I also backedup my iphone 5 to icloud. I can see both phone's backups side by side on the my screen on icloud. But it will not allow me to restore the iphone 4 backup to my iphone 5.  I need contacts from the iphone 4 backup but I do not have that phone anymore and icloud will only let me restore the iphone 5's backups to my iphone 5. Is there anyway to get the contacts from my previous iphone 4 backup?

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • My iPhone 4s will not ring and the ringer is on.  What can I do?

    My iPhone 4S suddenly will not ring even when the ringer is on and the volume is loud .  What can I do

    change your ringtone and see if you hear the new tone when you select it.   if you don't hear anything, your speaker might have gone bad.

  • 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!

  • My iphone 4s will only connect to my home network.

    My iphone 4s will only connect to my home network. Any other I join (eg:starbucks) internet says connection error. Even though the phone says it's connected.

    Since  I have upgraded the the latest iOS in my iPhone 4S , this problem started and eventually the white button for Wi-fi stopped working. The one day before switching off the phone , I took out the SIM and reset the Networking and didn't switch on. Then I wrapped the phone with tissue paper and kept it in the deep refrigerator for 25 to 30 minutes and after cleaning frosty layer, I turned on the phone.... Somehow the Wi-fi button started working and the Wi-fi network too. Then only I inserted the SIM . Magic..!! My phone is still working fine . But I have to do this process once or twice a month every time Wi-fi stops working. Good luck my friend....hope you get benefitted !!

  • HT1670 Sync iPhone/Entourage will only recognize one of my two iPhones?

    I have two iPhones. One I have managed to sync no problem, but the second is just not interested! A friend told me that with iPhone/Entourage will only recognize one iPhone, if so is there anything I can do to sync my second phone?

    Hi, Darcie13.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed.

    Yes, but if you delete the iCloud account and start again, don't you have to wait 90 days for everything to start syncing??  I've been having this problem for months and no one seems to be able to figure it out.  I used to have one Apple ID (which was not an email address) and then when iOS came along....and iCloud, they force you to use your email address as ID ....which actually sets up a SECOND Apple ID.  I have a Mac, iPad, iPod touch and iPhone.  the Apple techs tried to delete the iCloud accounts so that they all said the same thing (email address ID) but then I had to wait 90 days.  the 90 days just passed and nothing is automatically syncing yet.  I still think there are 2 accounts but if I delete all again.....it's going to be another 90 days (for security reasons, I was told).  This is a real pain in the butt.
