My iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when receiving a text message

for some reason since yesterday, my Iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when I receive a normal or Imessage text message.
I double checked that vibration works in general and it does. so does the sound file for the Text tone.
My ringer works fine as well as vibration for incoming calls but nothing works with a normal text message (even whatsapp works fine).
I have no idea what could be the issue here.
Any ideas?

- Unmute your phone
- Set your Ringtone to default
- Adjust your volume
- If you're on iOS6 - DO NOT DISTURB feature turn it OFF
Try again

  • I no longer receive notification or sound or even a badge app icon when receiving a text message, I have not made any changed to my sounds

    How do I fix this, I no longer receive notification or sound or even a badge app icon when receiving a text message, I have not made any changed to my sounds, I've checked all the settings and everything is good, I powered off the phone and restarted, I synced it and still nothing, can anyone help?

    Settings app > Notification Center > Messages (you will need to check both the INCLUDE and DO NOT INCLUDE sections). Set the alerts you wish to see.

  • Is there a way to have iphone 4 blink when receiving a text message?

    I just switched over to iphone4 from a blackberry and wanted to know if there is a setting that allows the iphone to blink red or green when receiving a text message, much like the blackberry does. my phone is on silent and, without a function like this, i am unable to tell when i am receiving a text message. if there are any other things that would allow for notification as well, please let me know! also, is there a text message icon that can appear at the top of the phone, like the lock icon? thanks a lot!

  • My iphone will not turn on at all even when i do a hard restart. how can i fix this?

    My iphone will not turn on at all. i tried to hard reboot it and still nothing what can i do to fix this?

    Take it to your local Apple Store and have the genius take a look. If it won't respond at all, it sounds like a hardware failure.

  • My iphone will not ring with an incoming call or an incoming text

    My iphone will not ring with an incoming call or an incoming text

    Hello tmacmillin,
    Thank you for the question.  It sounds like there is no sound with an incoming phone call or text.  Have you checked to see if Do Not Disturb was accidentally enabled?  You will see a "moon" icon in the status bar if it is enabled.
    You can disable Do Not Disturb in Settings > Do Not Disturb or in the Control Center as described in the following articles:

    If you are not hearing any sound from your speakers, I suggest reviewing the following article:

  • Multiple vibrations when receiving a text message

    I recently switched from a Motorola phone to an iPhone 3GS and it seems that the iPhone only vibrates 1 time when I receive a text message. I don't often feel the phone vibrate in these instances. Is there a way to change the settings on the phone so it will vibrate multiple times when I receive a text?

    You can't change the setting. However, if you don't open the text it will vibrate again a few minutes later.

  • HT201401 After updating no sound when receiving a text.  All sound choices just vibrate.

    After updating iphone no sound when receiving texts.  All choices only vibrate.  Also no volume bar for music.

    Hello LEC2,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I would first check to make sure that your sound options for your alert tones is set correctly.  Please look at the following link for more information:

    If that doesn't resolve the issue, also take a look at this link:

But now when I plug it into itunes it will stay charging on the iphone itself but NOTHING comes up on itunes. itunes does not pop up itself like it used to.  I have no way to sync my iphone   itunes is no longer pulling it up when I plug my ipod in either.

  • MacBook will not turn on, quite clicking sound when connected to power

    I cleaned my MacBook with a damp cloth and now the MacBook will not boot. the first time I turned it on after I cleaned it. it turned on and the screen came on the grey apple loading screen, went away for a minute when I came back it had turned itself off.
    Now when I press the power button it will not do anything at all, nothing turns on it is as it is dead. I have left it outside in the sun for a couple of days incase any water got into the machine but it still will not turn on.
    When I connect the power cord to the MacBook the is a faint clicking sound coming from it.
    This machine is about 3 years old so it is out of warranty.
    Any suggestions to what it could be ?

    This same thing just happened with mine - the clicking sounds like it's coming from the left speaker. I tried an smc reset and also took a look at the logic board to look for anything I might notice. What was the outcome for you - any info would be very helpful!
