Periodic loss of sound on incoming calls - Please HELP!

I got a 3GS and it's started to not ring when I get incoming calls.
Sound in general works fine and it's not everytime the calls don't make a sound when I get them.
It's not on mute nor is the volume down, I've checked it every time I noticed I missed a call even when the phone was just on a table in the next room.
I tried a soft reboot (holding down sleep + home button till it restarted), that didn't work and I've tried putting in the headphones a few times in case it was something with the jack.
The phone is updated to the lastest update and this started even before I updated it.
Is there anything else I can try? Or does it need to be repaired?

Try sliding the button that is above the volume up and down buttons to see if you have it muted.

Do you mean decline button before picking up the call?

No sound for incoming calls but it works using speaker and earpiece. I can't hear anything but the other party can hear me clearly. I was told it's hardware problem. Would anyone please help? Thanks

This is an annoying problem for many people. Most likely your dock connector (on the bottom where you plug in your phone) is dirty or screwed up and is probably just coincidence that it happened after you updated. Some people have had success cleaning the port with a dry clean tooth brush. There is a long discussion going on at the thread I linked below. Good luck...

Fixed the problem. Got the Iphone 5

What can be wrong with my iPhone 4? There is no sound from incoming calls, SMS and even when I play music. I already checked that it's not muted, volume is high and not set to "vibrate mode."

Hi rsample,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Your symptoms make it sound like the iPhone side switch is set to silent mode.
iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts
Set your device to silent mode
iPhone: Toggle the Ring/Silent switch on the side of the device.
Best Regards,

Do you get sound on any apps e.g. Music and Videos but not others ? If you do then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

HT201401 Incoming calls do not ring on iPhone, only vibrate. All settings are selected for ringtone to be audible, I have restarted phone, went back to factory settings, still no sound on incoming calls.

Incoming calls are not heard, only vibrate. I have reset the phone back to factory settings and still do not get any ring tone sounds for any incoming calls. The phone only vibrates. I have checked all setting including volume and do not get any sounds from the phone on incoming calls.

Check the Mute / Silent Switch on the side of the phone...

I get no ringing sound for incoming calls

I spent an hour with a Skype tech and they can't fix it. Ever since I upgraded, I have all the usual sound EXCEPT the most important one - the ringing of an incoming call. Does anybody else have this problem? Were you able to fix it? Rick

Start simply. Check the mute button is not enabled, then check Settings > Sounds to be sure the volume is turned up for ring tones.

Notification sounds vs incoming call tones

Is it possible to turn off the incoming call ringtone, but still have new messages and new mail notifications tones be heard?
I am not supposed to get calls at work, but e-mails (through my work account) are fine and would like to hear when they are recieved. I use this as my work PDA, but do not want hear incoming calls.

Here is where I found mine: http://richardkmiller.com/702/iphone-tip-use-a-silent-ringtone-to-screen-calls-i n-your-sleep
