Iphone makes text messages sounds without any reason

I have iphone 3gs with iOS 5.0.1
So several times a day it makes sounds like text message came, but there're no new text messages there.
What can cause it?
It started happening a week ago or so, I didn't have this weird issue before.

On the advice of 2 Apple technicians I have restored the software to factory twice. No difference, just now with the iPhone on a table, the ringer menu came up and the volume went to zero.
The last restore is not complete after 18 hours, as my local wi-fi times out interrupting the restore from iCloud.
Apple said the retail outlet would replace the iPhone if i quoted the case number. However Future shop in Grande Prairie Alberta, said that they couldn't help as Apple does not permit them to make the swop.
The next tech said Apple would either
1. send me a shipping box which I would return to Apple with my iPhone, they would replace it within 10 days !
or 2.  I give them my Credit card number and they will send me a replacement phone, on receipt of the old phone the credit card numbers would be deleted.
Not very happy about this.

  • Remove all incoming/outgoing text message sounds?

    How can I turn off all incoming/outgoing text message sounds without turning the phone ringer off?
    Thank you.

    There is no option to add additional sounds for those alerts.

  • Hi there. I have the iphone 4. Since updating to ios 6, the sent text message sound no longer "plays"! Is there any way of turning it back on? Thanks.

  • I want to open the iphone text message inbox without opening the new text message

    I just want to know if there is a way that I can open my text message "inbox" without haivng to open a new text message that I have.  I used to have a droid. When I clicked on the message icon, it would open to the full inbox, just not the conversation with the new text message.  I want to know if there is a way I can do this with my iPhone as well.

    When I tap on the Messages icon, it opens up Messages to the last state in which I left it. If I left in the Inbox view, that's what it opens in. If I left it in a particular thread, that's what it opens in. So, just make sure that you leave it in the Inbox view.
    If you access Messages from a notification, it will take you to the new message.

  • Three or four times a day the radio module in my iphone doesn't responding. Sometimes it happened during a phone conversation, sometimes without any reason during a day.

    I have a problem. I use my iphone4 during one year. I bought it with firmware 4.0.2. Three or four times a day the radio module wasn't responding. Sometimes it happened during a phone conversation, sometimes without any reason during a day. Just I was out of connection for incoming calls. But it happened without any warnings on my iphone. After I have upgraded firmware to 4.1, this problem disappeared (baseband 2.10.04). But a week ago I upgraded firmware to 4.3.3 and my problem appeared again (4.10.01). I changed SIM-card, but it didn't help. How can solve this problem? I want to downgrade baseband to 2.10.04. Are there another solutions?

        Hi ZachBrunelle!
    I'm saddened that your having trouble with your device and you efforts are  greatly appreciated, let's get to the bottom of this! You mentioned your device not having any physical damage, has it been exposed to anytime of water/moisture?

  • Hi. My iphone 4s switch of without any reason. Help please

    Good luck finding the solution. I have another posting https://discussions.apple.com/message/25145839#25145839 on this exact same issue, and that is after looking on my own for the solution on the web and on Apple's forum without any luck for a real solution. Having to RESET a device every time I need to clear out old messages from memory sounds to me like an intended pain from Apple to keep pushing iPhone users to purchase additional iCloud backup plans.

  • Text message sound disappears

    I have an issue.
    All the sounds work fine but sometimes I put it into silent mode because of a meeting. When I switch it out of silent mode though, the text message sound doesn't always reappear although the ring tone does.
    It doesn't always happen but the only way to resolve is to go into sounds and reselect the sound which is tri tone for me.
    I have tried all sorts of variations to try and make it happen every time but just when I think I have found the step by step procedure for replicating it, it doesn't work.
    Is this something apple are aware of? Have other people experienced it with the latest firmware?
    Is there a channel to write to apple directly to report bugs?

    Typically this is due to an OS bug and the fix is to restore the phone...
    First, you can try restoring iPhone via the "Restore from back up option" There is a chance that this is not going to work since the back up will include the "bug" you're trying to get rid of... but there is a small chance it will work.
    If not then the true way to get rid of an OS bug is to do a full restore using "Set up as new iPhone" the difference being that you need to back up outside data like contacts, calendars, notes, etc... since stuff like texts, user settings and POP3 mail inbox items are lost... it takes longer to do this but is really the only way to get rid of the OS bugs for sure...

  • "New in iTunes" newsletter contents received in iPad email will not produce sound.  Any ideas as to why?  If I go into the iTunes program, I get sound without any problem.

    "New in iTunes" newsletter contents received in iPad email will not produce sound for music samples.  Any ideas as to why?  If I go into the iTunes program, I get sound without any problem.

    Amazing! I'm a dance instructor and am doing the exact same thing as you - and not seeing what I need on my iPad Air ... I can't believe there has been no reply on this! I also can't believe there isn't an easy way of seeing track info in the iPad or iPhone but I've spent hours searching and am not finding anything

  • I Lost All My Contact without any reason

    I have lost my contact without any reason. The contact list are blank suddenly. I havent plug my iphone4 to my computer. I have shut the phone and turn it on several time but the contacts are all disappear. I havent syn the iphone with the itunes. I dun know why all my contacts are disappear. How can I recover all my contact list? THX

    I say try and go settings/mail,contacts,calendar/import sim contacts and hope they come back..
    also you could try and restore your phone from the previous back up you done,  before you plug your phone in copy your previous back-up onto your desktop so you dont lose it, then try restore your phone from that.
    thats all i could suggest
    hope it helps

  • Mac mini turns off without any reason

    My Mac mini turns off without any reason. I just want to make a backup with time machine and after a while the computer doesn´t work anymore. I just see the start-screen with all the users and I had to sign with my user password. After the mac restarts, I had to start time machine again. I stopped energy-management, because I thought that might be the problem but not. Time machine should work the whole night, but I don´t want to sit the whole time next to the mac to wake him up every several minutes. What can I do?
