My iPhone suddenly has stopped ringing, unless I have the home page open

I have an iPhone 4 with OS 7.1.2 It is about 3 years old and has been working well, until recently.
Now it will not ring my Phone or my Messages or my Errands unless I have the home page open.
This is bad, because I miss my calls, messages and appointments this way.
I don't know if the following has anything to do with it: I also have a defective Home button.
It works occasionally, so I usually use the top button on the device to turn it on and a soft button to get to the home page from anywhere.

Thanks!!!
That worked!
The genius I saw couple of days ago had no clue, he blamed the apps.

Recently Firefox has stopped loading some graphics including the home page. Is this a virus ? I have reloaded Firefox with the same result.

I have started using Chrome, Opera and even IE with no problem.

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Recently my iPhone 3GS has stopped ringing all of a sudden. I've checked the settings and nothing has been changed. I've also made sure the switch on the side is not on silent/vibrate too.
The other day it rang once then went to vibrate.
Anyone have any idea?
The phone is just over a year old too
Would be grateful for any help

My iPhone 5s has stopped playing music out of the speakers. It works when I plug in my headphones but other than that there's no sound. It just randomly happened so I'm not sure if I can fix it or if I need to bring my phone in

I have an iphone that has stopped charging. I have purchased a new battery and charger for it but it is still not charging. Does anyone know how i can fix this?

That pretty much eliminates all the user-serviceable parts the phone has.
When you say you purchased a new battery, I'll assume that it included the installation and you did not go fiddling with the nanoscrews and such. So it's got to have some sort of warranty that the part is good and it is time to take it back for service.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 message: "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I have the serial number but not the media. How do I use the software?

I recently tried to use Photoshop CS4 that I have on my computer but I get the message:"Licensing for this product has stopped working." I have the serial number but not the media. How can I use this version?

You can get the installer here: Download CS4 products
It will install as a fully functional 30 day trial. Entering your serial number will convert it to a permanent version, Standard or Extended, depending on what serial number you purchased.
If you still have the license problem. get back to me with your OS details and the error code.

An unknown error has occurred (EC ) To return to the home page please click here

Ich versuche seit Wochen, in Appworl meine App mit meinem Torch zu syncronisieren!
Aber bekomme immer folgende Meldung:
An unknown error has occurred (EC )
To return to the home page please click here
Welchen Browser brauche ich?
Oder was muß ich tun um meine Apps wieder mit Firefox oder Chrome syncronisieren zu können?

I have seen in another thread this same error with no resolution. All I've seen are people trying to fix a problem on the PB when it is a desktop problem not the PB! I have had the same error from more than one desktop PC with nothing in common. What does it take to get an answer? This ec error is happening to more and more people with no help.

TS3406 Iphone 5 Has stopped ringing any help

i phone 5 has stopped ringing . Ive tried all the settings any body any ideas ?

Did you set up restrictions for changing account info in Settings/General/Restrictions? If yes, disable them and try again to edit your mail account info.

What has happened to my mozilla if the home page has been shrunk down and all the content has gone to thumbnails? Plus I have no tool bar at all

I was looking at a u tube video when all of a sudden when I tried to click the video off, the cursor started creating a circle around it and was moving all over and before I knew it, the google home page has shrunk down to a very small size all of the google eg web, video, etc details are in very small thumbnail rows on the left top of the screen and my tool bar is completely gone

Try [[How to clear the cache|clearing your cache]] that may well solve the problems on web content.
To get the tool bars back use Alt or F10 in your keyboard, then View -> Toolbars
* you will probably be able to just click on the relevant toolbar option such as the navigation toolbar to get it back
* if that fails you may need to consider the customise, and either drag items back, or restore the defaults

Creative Cloud has stopped working. I have the window but nothing within the window. Any help?

Photoshop CC and Bridge are working fine. I can not get the CC updater to work, I only have a blank window. What should I do next?

Maybe you should post on

or

My Acrobat has stopped working. I have the CS6 Master Collection. I have had this happen before and I had to reinstall by whole suite. Is this stil the best way to deal with this?

Sorry, meant CS6.

Hey Gary Kirby,
Please make sure that you are logged in to your system as an administrator.
Let me know the exact error that prompts on your screen while launching Acrobat.
You might also refer this KB doc link and try out solutions as mentioned:
Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite
Please check and let me know.

My 4S has stopped ringing. Voicemail's disabled but if you call me, you'll hear it ring your end but it does nothing at mine and freezes if I make a call. Texts are not being delivered or coming through delayed. Ringer is on, tone enabled - help!

My iPhone 4S has stopped ringing altogether. Voicemail is disabled but if you call me, you'll hear it ringing at your end but it does nothing my end and freezes in the phone app if I make a call (doesn't ring or connect and doesn't freeze the phone, just the calling part). Texts are not being delivered or coming through delayed. Ringer is on, tone enabled - help!
I've disabled roaming so it only runs on wifi (this after getting a £4k phone bill...) and I can use Skype, Viber and WhatsApp with no problem at all.
Would really appreciate any help at all!
Many thanks.

Hi there - am with Orange and they said nothing wrong with account and service running normally. They said if they had cut me off I would've received a text (debatable with current message receiving situation!) and when I called out it would say 'calls from this number are barred'. Also if you called me it would say something similar. But it doesn't, it will ring and ring until it rings off but nothing happens at all on my handset. Not even a missed call notification. If I call out, it will display that it is calling the number but that's it. If I cancel the call it will constantly display 'ending call'. If I come out of the phone and go to another app then revist phone it will start calling that last dialled number - without ever getting as far as ringing or connecting.

The ringer switch on side of iphone 4s has stopped working and is now turning itself from silent to ringer without me touching buttons. Will this be covered under warrent? I have had the phone less than 1 year.

The ringer switch on the side of my Iphone 4S has stopped working and the phone is now turning itself on and off silent without me touching any buttons. Will this be covered under warrenty? I have had the phone for less than a year. Although I have had the screen replaced, and wondered if this may void the warrenty?

Yes, the screen replacement (I am assuming by you our a 3rd party) voided your warranty.
