Iphone does not ring in standby mode

my father has an iphone 3G,
and it will not ring in standby mode.
it worked perfectly when he was on 2.0,
but when he upgraded to 2.1 it started having some problems.
now he has 2.2.1 and the only problem it has is it will not ring while in standby.
it will only ring when unlocked.
is anyone else having this issue,
and does anyone have any way to fix it?
i dont know if it is irrelevant or not,
but he is on windows XP.

I was having the same problem and did a couple of "restores" and the issue kept coming back, after several calls and not much help I decided to delete an application that I had downloaded which was "Ski jump lite" and the problem has gone away. It worked fine on the previous version of apple software.
Regards
Steve

  • My iPhone does not ring after 8.2 upgrade and sound gone on iPad

    the sound as gone on my iPad and the iPhone does not ring when i get a call all after the 8.2 upgrade

    Hi pr1uk,
    It appears your devices are experiencing audio issues. The following article provides steps which may help you find a solution:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
    Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
    Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
    If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
    Restart your device.
    Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
    If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
    If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
    Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

    You might need to UPDATE the DRIVER for your iPhone in DEVICE MANAGER.
    I searched quite a few Blogs and the answer below fixed my issue:
    Windows 7 incorrectly identifies the device as a Digital Camera.
    To fix this:
    - Plug in your iPhone  (don’t have iTunes loaded at this time)
    - Go to Device Manager (Click Start, right-click Computer, then click Properties. In the window that appears choose “Device Manager” on the left)
    - Scroll down and find “Apple iPod” or “Apple iPhone”
    It will likely be under the “Portable Devices” category.
    - Right-click the Apple device and choose “Update Driver Software…”
    - Choose “Browse my computer for driver software” in the window that appears
    - It will ask you for a location; you want to Browse to this folder (location is the same in 32 and 64 bit Windows):
    32-bit and 64-bit: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    - Click Next
    - It should find the driver for your device; let it install that driver 
    Once you complete these steps, reboot your computer. Once you reboot everything should work exactly as expected!

  • My IPhone does not ring into my voicemail from my land line which I have set up to forward to my IPhone. How do I fix this?

    HI,
    I bought my IPhone 4 in March of 2011. I use it for work purposes and I have my landlind from my desk forwarded to my IPhone. I am current on all of my updates but for some reason around AUgust 8th or the wek of I have not been able to get voice messages from my forwarded calls. The land line will forward to my cell and my cell will ring but it does not roll into my voice mail. I have been on the phone with Verizon who sent me to Apple who sent me back to Verizon. Is there anyone else out there that has had the same problem?

    Hey mslisa12
    Check to make sure that you do not have the Personal Hotspot turned on, go to Settings > Cellular and turn it off or change the password.

  • HT4157 Ever since I activated my ipad, my iPhone does not ring.

    I set up my new iPad4 yesterday.  After I set it up, my iPhone 5 stopped receiving phone calls.  Everyone tells me they try to call me and my phone goes straight to voice mail.  I have checked the settings on my phone and turned it off for 5 minutes and turned it back on.  It still does not receive calls.  Could this be related to the activation and set up of my iPad?

    Seems to me that your problem is iPhone related.
    You better ask for help in the iPhone forum next door on the same floor:

  • HT4528 My Iphone does not ring and all calls go to voice mail. What to do?

  • Since installing iOS 7 my 4s iPhone does not ring for all callers. I receive some calls ok, others never ring even tho I know someone was tryine to reach me. This is very frustrating!

    I discovered this issue when a friend of mine called my home phone to tell me that when he called my cell phone it sent him directly to the messinging service.
    It never even rang. It was like the phone was off. And that is NOT the case as my phone is always ON, at all times.
    I could call my iPhone with my wife's iPhone, and hers would ring through. I could call my iPhone from my home phone, and it would ring my iPhone
    But many other people who have tried to reach me don't have any luck, even when I'm listeneing to hear the ring and pick up. It never rings. Just leaves
    a note saying "missed call" and maybe a message, if the caller left one.
    Very frustrating for me. I could sure use some assistance!
    Thanks,
    Ezryder

    Thanks for your answer...
    My iPhone was connected to a wifi internet when I tried to activate it and when I tried activation by iTunes I was using my laptop with windows 7 which was connected to internet by cable.
    I updated my iPhone to IOS 7 when I was in Egypt and I had no problems with updating it and I can't remember if finding my iPhone option was on or off before updating to IOS 7 and as i understood from searching internet that to use iCloud Finder on web from computer to find my iPhone it should be set up already on my iPhone and I didn't set up iCloud on my iPhone before and my Apple ID wasn't verified for iCloud till today, I verfied it by logging in iCloud from a friend iPad.
    I was considering already the option that my iPhone has been hacked but if this happened so how I would unlock my iPhone and activate it to back to work? who would help me with that? I'm so tired of being without my phone for almost 4 days and I started to consider not having any Apple product anymore... I think that this way to secure the consumer has a lot of conflicts...

  • IPhone does not ring after upgrade

    After applying the most recent software upgrade my phone no longer rings.
    The alarm works fine.  I checked Sounds and it is on, volume is up
    and a tone is set.  What happened?  Anyone else experience this?

    Double check that you don't have DND turned on - settings - DND - off.

  • After updating my 4s to iOS 6, it does not go into standby mode.

    Is anyone facing this problem too? Before I've updated to iOS 6, I didn't have this problem. (My phone will go into sleep mode after 1 minute)
    I've set the auto-lock to 1 minute.
    I would appreciate the help. Thank you!

    If you have an Exchange/Google account, delete it. Then reboot. Then look if your usage is different. If so, you could re-add your Exchange account without Calendar, but I advice you to only add it if you are using a Wi-Fi, (because this will consume some traffic).
    If the usage stays the same, do the same but with your iCloud account. And only re-add it using Wi-fi too.
    Hope I can help.

  • Iphone 3GS not ringing/vibrating when called.

    Hello,
    When I call my Iphone 3GS with another phone (while in sleep mode) , the Iphone does not ring nor vibrates.
    However, when I push the home button while the call is comming in, the Iphone awakens and starts ringing and vibrating.
    If the home button is not pressed the Iphone remains completely silent.
    When I restart the Iphone it works perfectly for a few times and then shows the same problematic behaviour again.
    I've updated the OS to the latest version, restored the Iphone a few times, nothing helps.
    I found someone with the same problem saying that it is a battery related problem, so I've changed the battery and it didn't solve the problem.
    The problem also persists after changing to a different opperator. (I didn't switch operators to solve this problem, it had other reasons, but does excludes it as a possible solution)
    To me it seems like a software problem. Anyone any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks
    Jonathan
