IPhone ringer

Why doesn't my iPhone 4 ring when calls are received?

The silent switch is on.

Or, the volume is down.
Or the iphone needs restart, reset, or restore.
Or the iphone is defective.

  • When bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone?

    when bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone but it rings through the bluetooth headsets?
    In other phones, you can hear the phone ringing and if it was connected to bluetooth, you could pick up the call from the bluetooth headset.
    Here with iphone, if its connected to bluetooth headset, it only rings through the headset, which means that if you dont have the headset in the ear all the time, you cannot know that you have an incoming call or message.
    Any ideas - solutions - comments please?

    I'm having the same problem. I had a plantronics 975 (which I lost, sadly). When connected, the ringer would always be routed through the bluetooth and the iPhone's external speaker. When in silent mode, the iPhone would only vibrate, but I could still hear the ringer in the bluetooth.
    I just bought a new Plantronics Voyager+. Now when it's connected, all sounds are routed to the earpiece - including the taps, etc. The iPhone's speaker doesn't ring at all, unless the bluetooth is disconnected or powered off. I'd really like to be able to hear both, like I was before. This is an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 (latest version, not sure what it is exactly). Haven't updated software/firmware in between bluetooths, just changed the earpiece.

  • Is there any soft for IPHONE RING?

    IS THERE ANY SOFT FOR IPHONE RING ,WHICH CAN RING AT RANDOM? Just LIKE NOKIA SYDYEM ,WHEN CALL COMING ,THE PHONE WILL RING AT RANDOM.TKS.

    Sorry I don't fully understand your question but...
    1. Turn off your caps lock - in a forum, it's the equivalent of yelling/screaming.
    2. Turn your ringer up/down with the buttons on the side.
    3. Put the phone on vibrate with the switch on the side.
    If your phone is not working right, try resetting then restoring as per the manual. The English version is here... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

  • Calls to one iPhone rings to another with same Apple ID

    If a call goes to my wife's iPhone using her iPhone phone number, why does my iPhone ring (different number)? we do use the same apple ID

    Is iPhone Cellular calls enabled in the FaceTime settings?  If so, uncheck that.  A new feature of 8.1 is to enable calls to be received on devices using the same iCloud acct.

  • HT4515 How do you adjust how long the iphone rings for before going to voicemail?

    How do you adjust how long the iphone rings for before going to voicemail? Mine diverts after only a couple of rings.

    I believe you do that through your phone service provider.  I wonder if you have unheard messages in your voice mailbox.  I think some carriers use that mechanism - diversion to voicemail faster if the recipient has unheard messages.
    I do not believe you can change this directly on your iPhone.

  • Since upgrading to iOS 8 , my Apple TV second gen stops playback every time my iPhone rings.  Anyone else have this happen?

    Since upgrading to iOS 8 , my Apple TV second gen stops playback every time my iPhone rings.  Anyone else have this happen?

    This is happening to me too. Couldn't figure out what was happening at first then I got a phone call and the ring came through the appletv. Playback was stopping when I would open a game or something else as well.
    I'm on a 5s with ios 8 and have an appletv 3rd Gen(it is updated too). II often airplay movies from my NAS through my iPad min and that stops when something  happens on my phone even though airplay on my phone is off.

  • Iphone ringer volume problem fix

    This is basically because of water vapours which get into the port for earphones at the top left of your mobile.
    The problem is that your device might be thinking that the junk stuck inside the jack is actually a stereo plug connected, so it turns your built-in speakers off thinking you're jamming with your headphones on, though you're obviously not.
    There used to be a fix for this problem via jailbreak by just deleting some file and making one terminal in the port disabled so that you could use ringer with and without earphones.
    But now that most of you would have upgraded your software by now so i have got one simple fix for you guys.. and that is....... just try to remove trapped water vapours and possibly some rust that may have deposited there in the audio out (earphone port/ headphone jack) at the top left of your iphone.
    In order to do that, just try a cotton bud which we normally use to remove earwax and clean the inner sides of audio port/ headphone jack or whatever you call it.
    Its as simple as that.

    Hi shyema,
    I know I would be disturbed if my iPhone ringer was not performing as expected. Let's see if we can get you back on track. For issues with speaker volume, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    Hello waseem.abdul_hadi,
    It may be that your Screen Curtain has been activated. This can be deactivated by triple-tapping the screen with three fingers.
    Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.

  • Can I decide how many times my iphone rings?

    When I get a call from somebody can i decide how many times the iphone rings before it goes to voicemail?

    Cell phones do many things I don't care about, and iPhones do more things than any of them.
    To each his/her own but my experience with cell phones is the complete opposite which goes way back when they were mounted in your car only. A range of features or settings I don't want or care about and if I happened to come across an available setting I might be interested in, it was a chore to return to the location where the setting was available since the user interface was so very poor. I continue to use a Razr 3m with Verizon for business and what a joke in comparison to me.
    The iPhone does not do this so don't buy one if this feature is very important to you. At least you checked beforehand. No point in purchasing such a device that doesn't meet your needs or wants.
    If not, then why not? I really want a good answer to this.
    Not sure why not - maybe because this isn't a very common request. I've never used a cell phone that included such a feature. Apple doesn't answer questions here - this is a user to user help forum for technical support issues and questions only so we can only assume Apple chose not to include it or probably didn't even consider it but you can check with the provider regarding the number of rings allowed before a call goes to voice mail and if available, this would probably be a universal setting only - not by designated caller.

  • Hearing Aid connection, can't hear the iPhone ring.

    Hearing Aids and iPhone4
    Hi, I have a Phonak Audeo Smart hearing aid, connected via a Phonak iCom Bluetooth system to my iPhone 4.  The bluetooth pairs and connects without a problem, I can hear the call and hang up via the main iCom button, but I cannot hear the call ringing in and so I don't know when I receive a call and don't know how to answer it.  The connection seems to be made automatically but I don't know that it has happened. I have the latest IOS, I've tried different iPhone ring tones and also tried silent mode so the phone itself doesn't ring at all, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

  • Cannot hear iPhone Ring with Headset

    I just started using the V-Moda Vibe II wired headset but I usually prefer to leave the earpiece hanging from my shirt while I'm not making calls. This is because the earpiece interferes with my hearing as it blocks outside noise. The problem is I cannot hear my iPhone ringing because it only plays within the earpiece and not from the iPhone's speaker. I set my phone on vibrate but sometimes while having it on my holster and walking I cannot feel the vibration. Is there a way for the iPhone speaker ringer to work while using a headset? If not, Apple should make this an option in Preferences>Sound.
    Thanks,
    Alexander

    You're right! You know what's weird? Whenever I charge my iPhone to my iHome alarm clock radio, my iPhone's sound settings get all weird. Perhaps because when I connect it, my iPhone says that "This accessory is not compatible with iPhone", even though it should according to the alarm clock box. Keyboard clicks disappear. So maybe my sound settings got screwed up because of that. I just tested it and heard the ringer from my iPhone. Thanks guys!

  • When my iPhone rings so does my iPad. Just started doing this since I did the ios8 update

    WWhen my iPhone rings so does my iPad it just started doing this when I updated to ios8 why?

    Hi, I just got off the phone to Apple Support, my second call on the subject.  My first call a  day or two ago was answered by a rep who told me to turn off Handoff to disable Continuity. Today, the rep had the correct info:  A FaceTime setting of all things!!
    Both he and I are submitting a feedback to Apple Development to change how Continuity works.  Rather than turn it off and on, there should be additional function and settings so an iPhone user can decide what happens when the iPhone switch to go to Silent/Vibrate mode also disables the Continuity feature from ringing another device (e.g., iPad).
    Let's see what happens.
