Iphone 5c makes sound for no apparent reason

I am posting this on behalf of a friend. She just got a brand new iPhone 5C and she loves it, but at random times throughout the day, it plays a sound for no apparent reason. There is no notification, no email, no messages, no alarm... we've been through all the sounds and notification settings. We did identify the sound as "Popcorn", but nothing she on her phone that we can find actually uses that sound. It is driving her crazy. She has very few apps on this phone - Find My iPhone, Allrecipes, AskMD, Pandora, 70's Radio and MapMyWalk. We went into each of these apps to find sound settings and, if they had one, we turned it off. Her phone is possessed! Please help us find the source, as we are going crazy.

Try resetting your phone. Press and hold down both the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears then let go. You won't lose any data.
There are a number of things you can check to improve battery performance in this article. https://www.apple.com/ca/batteries/maximizing-performance/#ios
If none of the above help then the next step would be to Restore. Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings This will erase everything on your phone so back up your data first.

  • My iphone 4s stopped charging for no apparent reason

    My iphone 4s stopped charging for no apparent reason...

    Hey guys,
    I have the same problem with a brand new 1  month old iphone 4S.
    It was perfect then last night I had this issue of not charging or not even recognizing that it was plugged in to charge. I have tried everything from a hard reset to trying different cables and outlets but o change. I am back to my old Nokia now and it kinda hurts. Quite the downgrade
    BFH 2011, did you sort your issue out? If so any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Iphone 6 gets hot for no apparent reason

    For no apparent reason, the iPhone 6 gets very hot.  I have found that I must turn the phone completely off and then start it again.  It then starts to cool down.  WHY does the phone get physically hot?

  • Alert sounds for no apparent reason

    Several times a day a get an alert sound. I think it is the "sosumi" alert. But nothing apparent occurs when it sounds. I don't get any new emails, nor do I get a window with any information, directions, warnings, or anything else.
    Any ideas?

    Yep, I do have Skype, but I've had it for a long time. These alerts sounds started only recently.
    You should still check it to make sure the alert sounds haven't somehow been changed or turned on (if previously off). You also need to check any other apps that you have running, including anything in System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Items. See if any of those might have some kind of audible alert sounds.
    Shouldn't an alert sound be accompanied by something on the monitor screen?
    Not necessarily. Depends on what the developer of any particular app decides to do.

  • TS3694 My iphone turned off earlier for no apparent reason. I have connected it to a USB and the screen lights up showing a USB with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo. As it apear in iTunes, my only option is to reset my iphone. It wont reset b/c it tu

    My iPhone turned off for no reason and wont turn back on but it will show me the apple logo then turn off again. I have connected it to the computer and attempted to reset it but it turns off before it can reset.

    Ok. I have doen some research and I have some things for you to try.
    First, what version iPhone do you have?
    Second, Try holding the home+sleep button for ten seconds and you should see the apple logo come up.
    Are you using your iPhone with a Mac or PC?
    Have you upgraded to iTunes 11?

  • My iphone stopped working for no apparent reason??

    Help!!!! My Iphone has stopped working for no apparent reason... Anyone else experiencing that kind of problem?!? I have the new I phone 4 S havent even had it a year.

    RM:  You saved the day for me.    I was at the ballgame and lost the use of iphone.   So when I got back I first had to remember that other electronics worked and I Googled the question.   Your answered of holding down both buttons at the same time worked.  But I had to do it several times.   I hope you know how much you have helped others with the simple answer first.
    I'm ready to resisitate any one now by pushing their buttons simultaneously.
    thanks.

  • My iphone is receiving default alert sound every few hours for no apparent reason.

    PHone is playing alert every few hours for no apparent reason.

    Take a look at this Apple support page on sound problems. If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
    You could also try reset all settings in Settings > General > Reset.

    Hi,
    For no apparent reason my phone stopped working...so I did a reset and got the message 'Restore Needed'. I connected to iTunes and got this message: 'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on your iPhone before it can be used with iTunes'.
    The problem is, I can't enter my passcode because I'm not given that option on the iPhone. All I seem to be able to do is make an emergency call.
    It's been working fine otherwise. Any suggestions?
    This is the SECOND replacement iPhone I've had this week and I'm getting a bit fed up.
    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Are you referring to the 4 digit passcode needed to enter the phone and use it's features?
    If so reboot your iPhone and enter the passcode to get it operational.  Launch Image Capture on the Mac and connect the iPhone.  Now you should be able to download the video files to wherever you want on your hard drive.

  • TS3276 I have no sound on my MacBook Air for sending and receiving messages. All sound settings have been checked and are OK. This problem has arisen many times and is intermittent in the sense that the sound returns and disappears for no apparent reason.

    Open System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
    Select:  Play user interface sound effects
    And make sure the Mute box is not selected.
    Now open Mail. From the Mail menu bar clik Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
    Make a selection from the:  New messages sound  pop up menu.

    I talked with a tech today and he said I cloud is having problems which should be resolved shortly.
    In the mean time I used the .me smtp server settings which allowed me to send mail.

  • For no apparent reason, the printing from the iPad to the HP wireless printer was no more possible, while it was still possible from the iPhone.

    For no apparent reason, the printing from the iPad to the HP wireless printer was no more possible, while it was still possible from the iPhone 5. Any idea why?

    Gutenprint drivers are intended for non-laser printers. HP supplies the proper drivers, and you can download the latest version directly from HP's support site. Or you can install the most recent HP drivers provided by Apple.
    Printing speeds do not include the time it may take to transfer data to the printer. It also doesn't take into account the time it takes for the printer to be prepared to start printing. Color is much slower than B/W.
    Contact HP for any additional assistance you may need since these forums do not provide support for non-Apple products.

  • Hi folks! My MacBook Air is making awkward little chipping sound... For no apparent reason. My Macbook Pro does the same. Goes like "chip... chip... chip", always three times in a row, for no apparent reason. Does anyone know how this occurs? Thanks

    It seems to be linked to the sound being on. When I mute the thing, it doesn't do it. When I plug headphones into it, it does it over the headphones.
    Thanks for your help!
