No sound when receiving a text

Since the most recent update my Galaxy S3 does not make any sound upon receiving texts. I've tried all sorts of sounds and none work. It will vibrate, but absolutely no sound. I've restarted, shut down... no help. I tried downloading new sounds. Any more ideas?

I am having this issue ever since the update. I had my 3 year old's voice sweetly saying message when I got a message and now - nothing! I never know if I've gotten a message!!! I can't access the settings - causes instant crash. Messaging constantly crashes either way too.
Messaging is probably THE most important feature of a phone. For that to not be working - this is a SERIOUS problem. I can't believe they forced such a buggy firmware update on the users!!!!

No or low sound when receiving a text. Volume is fine for incoming phone calls.

After the latest software update, I can not hear any sound when receiving a text. However I can hear sound when I receive a call.

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:

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

Why doesn't my iphone 5 make a sound when receiving a text?

Everything is enabled. Nothing is muted. Phone rings fine, but texts come as a vibrate only no sound.
I have done a hard reset also.

Settings, notification center , review the option here and make sure they are correct

Can you set the iPhone4 to vibrate without sound when receiving a text?

I turned on vibrate, but no ring tone and I don't get any notification (other than the text displays on the screen).
It seems that I have to set a ring tone to get text notifications, but what about just vibrating without sound?

I had the same problem. It appears it is a software issue and we will have to wait for an update. In the mean time, someone on here suggested that you turn the phone off and back on again whenever this happens and it will fix it for a while. Has worked for me so far.

I am suddenly not getting a text tone when receiving a text - all other sounds work fine

I am suddenly not getting a text tone when receiving a text. All other sounds work and text tone is checked in settings.

I finally discovered that the problem is with a single text tone and all the rest work fine. The text tone not working is one I purchased from iTunes about 2 weeks ago and it worked fine up until 2 days ago. When the text tone is still there and it plays when I manually select it, but there is no sound when I get a text. Anyone have any ideas on what the problem is or how to fix it?

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.

TS2755 No sound when receiving txts...

I have noticed after the last two updates I have no sound when receiving my txt messages.
Not sure if I have done something wrong...
Thankful for any help...

No, you can't get rid of the sending sound.
If you have your text tone set to "none", you will receive no audible notification and no vibration. The work around would be to install a custom ringtone that is just silence and set the text to that. You wouldn't here anything but you'd still feel the vibration if you've turned that setting on.

No alert sound when receiving email

Yes, it is selected in email setup, rebooted...tried it all, but no alert sound when receiving email
anyone with a fix, please help.

This sounds like a well-known problem which has been discussed over in the Mail discussions for quite a long time.

Search there and on Google to see the variety of possible causes and fixes. Here is what appears to be a common cause and possible fix (which worked for me):

Why my new ipad Notification center does not play sound when receiving notifications.

Settings>Notifications .... Did you set up the various apps to receive notifications?
Do have system sounds muted?
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

IPhone making strange sound when receive all types of message.

I've bought my iPhone 4S last week and it started making a really strange sound when receiving all sorts of messages (e-mail, whatsapp, sms). The sound is the sound I selected for each one but it loops 4 or 5 times everytime! What can it be?

If no change after powering your iPhone off and on, try an iPhone reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the 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. An iPhone reset does not affect any data or settings.

How can you turn off the sounds for receiving a text or e-mail while on a phone call???

That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.
