My ringer is not working.

I have the ringer button on the side set to ring...no ring. both the buttons are switched to on in the sounds section. shouldnt it ring and vibrate>?

It should.
Standard troubleshooting steps in order are: power your iPhone off and on, Reset which is done by pressing and holding the Home button and Sleep/Wake or On/Off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so.
If neither one of these simple steps resolves the problem, the next step is a Restore with iTunes.
Before Restoring, be sure to sync your iPhone with iTunes to update your iPhone's backup if needed.

My ringer does not work on my phone (not sure what happened, didn't smash it, nor did it fall to the ground), and I have been on silent/vibrate mode for a few months now. Unfortunately I am unable to listen to music without headphones, or get on speaker.

I can hear sounds when I plug in to headphones or on bluetooth (streaming audio from my car).
Can anyone help?
I have the iphone 4s.
Thank you!

Hey Chris,
Unfortunately the ringer does not work - which causes the speaker to not work when it's switched on to ring mode, unless I'm on bluetooth. It has recently stopped working and I've had this phone for 2 years.

TS3694 No sound and ringer button not working. I cannot play music but when I put my Iphone 4 on the dock it plays music. This happens when I updated my phone to IOS 6.1.3..The phone doesnt have any carriers we only used this just like Itouch. Please help

Please help. Since I updated my Iphone4 to ISO 6.1.3...The ringer button not working, can't play any music (but ok with the dock), headphone sound is muffled. What can I do? I tried restoring and downgrading but it won't let me.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out to the community.

It appears like you may have a hardware issue with your ringer button and internal speaker that came to light after the update. If you have already restored your iPhone back to factory settings using iTunes, you may need to have your phone serviced.
Some potential good news... Check your headphone jack for lint. There may be enough to cause a muffled connection. You can try to blow it out with compressed air or very carefully pulling out any solid objects that may affect the connection.
Best of luck!

How come my Iphone4 ringer is not working after upgrading to iOS 5

I recently updated my iphone4's firmware to iOS 5. I just found out that my ringer is not working anymore. It seems like it's always in silent mode. I tested music and it worked fine. Please help...thanks in advance

First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

HT201401 The sounds are working on my iPhone but the ringer will not work...it only vibrates on incoming calls. Volume is set high.

The sounds are working on my i phone but the ringer will not work...it will only vibrate. I have the volume set at high.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps? If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange.

I have just received this phone as a replacement from my insurance company, as I had lost my own phone. It has taken them 3 weeks to sort this out. This has ruined my business because it has taken so long. I really do not have time to send it back to them. Because it will waist another three weeks for them to sort it out again. Please Help!

HA! By Jove I've Got it! it was simples..
TURN ON THE RINGING ON / OFF BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF YOUR PHONE JUST ABOVE THE VOLUME BUTTONS. THEN MAKE SURE THE VOLUME IS UP TO THE HIGHEST. NOW JUST TRY THIS!
I ALSO LOOKED UP A MANUAL ON IPHONE4:
Ringtones, Ring/Silent switch, and vibrate
iPhone comes with ringtones that sound for incoming calls, Clock alarms, and the Clock timer.
You can also purchase ringtones from songs in iTunes. See Chapter 22, iTunes Store, on page 94.
Set the default ringtone: Go to Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.
Turn the ringer on or off: Flip the switch on the side of iPhone.
Important: Clock alarms still sound even if you set the Ring/Silent switch to silent.
Turn vibrate on or off: Go to Settings > Sounds.
Assign a different ringtone for a contact: In Contacts, choose a contact, tap edit, then tap
Ringtone and choose a ringtone.
For more information, see Sounds on page 139.
THE REASON MY PHONE HAD NO RING TONE, WAS SIMPLY BECAUSE THE VOLUME WAS TURNED DOWN. :-/
I HOPE THIS HELPS OTHERS INFUTURE! :-D

My iPhone 4 ring will not work - it just vibrates. When I toggle the silent switch no bell comes up. Have restored.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

HT4623 My volume buttons or my ringer does not work

All of a sudden my volume buttons do not work neither does my ringer or text tone

i can possibly help with that one
you go into settings, press sounds, and turn on "change with buttons" under the part that says ringer volume, or ringer and alerts, or something like that

HT201436 My iPhone 4 ringer will not work when I get a call or text etc and its not on mute what can info ?

Ringer not working and also what does"Locked Sim" mean its on my other iPhone front screen

Hello,
I understand that you have two separate questions. To address your first, regarding your ringer:
iPhone: Sound muffled or low from the speaker or when speaking into the mic
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1631
You also inquired about a prompt regarding the Sim card being Locked:
iOS: Understanding the SIM PIN

Thanks,

IPhone 6 silent/ringer switch not working

When I try to put my phone on silent by switching the button on the left hand side. It doesn't seem to do anything now?!?!
The button seems to work fine but its just not silent, I have tried just going into sounds and turning my ringer right down but you can still slightly hear it when it goes off.
Obviously this wouldn't be a problem normally just for times when I need it on but on silent - ie work etc.
Any ideas?

Two options
1. Get your phone looked at by Apple
2. Invoke Settings - General - Accessibility - Assistive Touch - you can turn the mute off or on from there

All sounds besides ringer do not work. Video has no sounds. When i send video to someone else, they can hear sound. Iphone 4s

All my sounds have stpped working. Only ringer sound works. When I send video file to someone, they can ear sound. I cant hear it. I have iphone 4s... please help

Just had this occure as you described: ringer only all other sounds mute. The second time this has happened. A simple reboot (turn off and on) restored normal functionality. the first time I read some post but don't remember how I restored it then so I am back here again. Seems like the problem and fix is different for different people, but this time for me a reboot did it.

My ringer is not working but it shows that it is on, what do I need to do to turn it back on?

Can't hear my ringer, when I checked it; it shows that it's on. If I hook up a speaker or headset on, the ringer works. What do I need to do to have the external speakers work?0

Do you have the mute switch engaged? It's the slider above the volume buttons.

My ringer is not working.
