IPhone doesn't make audible alerts while docked

My iphone 4 doesn't make audible alerts for text messages while docked. Is there a fix for this?

I seem to have a similar problem as I cannot seem to figure out how to set audible alerts for all mail, text messages or WhatsApp when my iPhone5 is locked! Can anybody help or do I have to go back to Blackberry for that?

IPhone doesn't make a noise when a text is received

I just got a brand new iPhone 3G. All of the sound works, except when I receive a text, it only vibrates and doesn't make the sound I've set it to. Ringtones, voicemail alerts, sent texts, alarms, etc., all make their appropriate noises. It's ONLY when I receive a text it does not.
My volume is all the way up and on, it's set on vibrate and ring.

I've noticed this issue too...am I being dumb? Did I miss the reason for this? And is there a bug fix? I've tried selecting a different text alert sound, but to no avail...

IPhone 4 vibrates in my ear and makes audible sound while on call

Ever since I did the 4.2 update if I am on a call and message comes in, the phone vibrates in my ear and plays an audible sound that everyone around me can hear and also my caller. First time it happened it scared me so much I about dropped the phone. Now it just makes me mad. When the 4.3 update was released, I was hopeful this "bug" would be fixed. No such luck! Has anyone experienced this? Is there some way to stop the phone from doing this and have it just do the "soft" tone that only I can hear? I went to the apple store and the guy I spoke with suggested just turning off the vibrate. That is not the solution. What about the sound that it plays? Am I supposed to turn that off too? Then it wouldn't make any sound or vibrate. Niiiiiice! Just what I need. A phone that doesn't ring or vibrate.
Someone HELP!
Thanks!

I started a thread like this with my 3Gs iPhone. My solution was to disable the "Vibrate" feature under "Settings, Sounds, Silent" and when I get a phone call I just use the "silent/vibrate" switch on the side of the phone and it turns off all the sounds. Just make sure that you have the "Vibrate" under "Silent" turned off. That fix works for my iPhone 4 as well. Hope this helps.

Iphone doesn't make a sound alert when get texts many times

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes you get a sound alert that you got a text and many times you do not?

Hello, Nina1125.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would make sure that you have a Text Tone set in Settings > Sounds. If your device is witched to silent Text Tones will not be audible.

My iPhone doesn't make a sound when I receive a text, even though it's on loud.

When a message comes through on my iPhone it doesn't give and text tone to say it has arrived. It will show it on the screen as normal when the home button is pressed. I have checked my handset is not on mute and the volume is full. It is not set to vibrate in any way. How can I fix this?

Is the silent switch on?

On my iPhone 4s, how do I make it so it doesn't make a sound when I send a text?

On my iPhone 4s, how do I make it so it doesn't make a sound when I send a text? Even if my ringer is set to high, I don't want it to make a sound when it sends my texts..can anyone help?

Flip the Ring/Silent switch.

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?

I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S. I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds. After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?" I didn't even know such a function existed. Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual. If it is green, turn it off. You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu). I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere. Good luck!

IOS5.0.1 constant error "iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes": I get this message and the phone will no longer work (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range). help!

All- I get this message ("iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes" (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range)). iPhone 4. Newest OS. Never happened with old OS! Cycling phone on/off does not help. Ignoring message causes phone to cycle off then on. After first time this happened, I restored. Six days later...same problem! Clearly a new fix is necessary. Suggestions?

I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc). Any suggestions? What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?

My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?And all the sounds on my phone are on, even the keyboard clicks.

Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, double check the volume button just in case. If you still can't hear the tones go into your settings>sounds and make sure the options are on.

TS3406 My phone doesn't make and receive calls. It doesn't have coverage where other iPhones with the same network do.

My wife is having the exact same issue after updating to the new iOS 8.1.1 and we've tried all the same steps even restoring the phone as a new phone. We've contacted our service provider and they've told us to go to apple to potentially "remove" her serial number from their servers to allow it to work properly on the service we have. We are desperate as purchasing a new phone right now is not an option and she desperately needs her phone for work and life.

Using the iPod Function of iPhone 3G while docked in the Universal Dock

I am trying to use the iPhone to play my music while docked in my universal dock with the correct snappins that I just received. I here absolutely no music from the speaker while docked. I have tested it while using the alarm and receiving a call from someone. Is there something I am doing wrong or does it just not play music the the speakerphone while docked. Thanks, Jeff

There is a difference between the iPhone 3G dock and the Universal dock with the iPhone 3G insert that allows one to be used as a speakerphone (or standalone iPod) and the other to be used really only for synching and charging.......you can guess which is which!
If you really need the hands-free speakerphone facility (with iPod music delivery of a sort) then the 3G dock is the baby, but if you really want quality iPod music-delivery then why not consider a cable from your Universal dock to your sound-system? This solution works for me for music (as well as synching and charging) but hands-free speakerphone is still a no-go with my Universal dock, so I then use the 3G one.
I hope that helps....

How do I get events in my iCal on my laptop which have audible alerts to make noise on my iPod/iPad and those which don't have audible alerts to not make noise? At the moment they all make a noise.

IPhone doesn't work with Universal Dock remote?

Hello,
I received an Apple Universal Dock with remote for Christmas, and I'm pretty sure I remember it and the remote working just fine with my iPhone when I first set it up. Today, I tried using it again, and found that I can't use the Universal Dock's remote for anything other than controlling the volume, and even though I can raise or lower the volume with the remote, the volume change is not reflected on my iPhone's screen - the iPhone's ipod volume indicator doesn't move.
The Universal Dock and remote work just fine with my wife's second generation nano, and the iPhone works without any problems when docked into a Logitech mm50 speaker system - the mm50's remote is able to jump forward and backwards through songs, pause, play, etc. The problem seems limited to the combination of my iPhone and the Universal Dock and remote.
Is this normal? According to the Universal Dock's package and documentation, it is compatible with the iPhone and doesn't mention anything about the remote having limited capabilities when used with the iPhone.
If this isn't normal, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
thanks in advance and best regards,
tom

i just bought this dock as a car dock. I have it hooked up to power 12v and output to 1/8 into head unit. Now, I have to be in iTunes music to get it to work and it only allows volume, playing of files in a playlist and to next song. Are any of you guys having issues with VERY limited use of the remote and lack of really a benefit from using a remote because you have to touch it anyways to change through songs or video??? Are you guys wondering why you even bought it if the remote is not supported as a functional addition?

Is there a way to allow allow my iPhone 4S to make a call to a specific number while locked?

Is there a way to allow allow my iPhone 4S to make a call to a specific number while locked? I would like specific phone numbers to be allowed to be called by my family members while my phone is locked. However as the phone is required to be secured for work I would rather not have to have the device unlocked and thus access to emails, texts, etc be visable. Is there a way to do this?

With the exception of 911, no.
