Phone not vibrating when being called or texted

Ringer is on silent and when a test or call comes in it doesn't vibrate. I have it set to vibrate on Ring and vibrate on Silent.

Do you have "Do not disturb" enabled in the Settings?
If not, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.

  • My ringtone will not work, the phone just vibrates when receiving calls.

    I just got a new Iphone5s today and my ringtone will not work. The phone just vibrates when receiving calls. How can I get my ringtone to work?

    In addition, the most basic troubleshooting is to restart/reset/restore.

  • Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?

    Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
    During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call.  So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of.  Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message.  Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message. 

    Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

  • Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name.

    Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name. Hard to know who is calling/texting! A few times I've tapped on the text message icon and I can actually watch as the conversations turn from showing just numbers to the contact names. Same thing when looking at call history and voice mail- sometimes it shows numbers and then I'll go back and the contacts will be back. So frustrating!

    -I have tried using *228 to update.
    You don't dial *228 to update the Preferred Roaming List on 4G phones; I"m surprised the call went through.  The PRL updates are handled by the SIM card. 
    Try this and see if it helps:  turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, and wait a few minutes.  Then re-insert the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and give the phone a few minutes to re-establish a network connection.

  • On my iPhone 4 The notifications for the Message app suddenly turned off when in silent mode. I have. I vibrate on but it does not vibrate when I get a text.

    My message app does not notify while on silent mode

    You iPhone likely has damage. Just because you don't see an external indicator doesn't mean it didn't get damaged internally.
    Take it to an Apple store for evaluation.  If there is physical damage, then unless you have the Apple Care Plus Protection Plan, you're looking at $149 for an Out Of Warranty replacement.

  • How can I change the settings such that the phone does not vibrate when I receive a message in silent mode, but vibrates for calls?

    I'd like the phone to vibrate when I receive a call when it is in silent mode (as it already does) but I'd like it to not vibrate when I receive a text in silent mode. I know how to set both (calls and texts) to not vibrate in silent mode, or choose no vibration for texts when loud or silent, but not what I just mentioned. Thanks.

    Try this - Settings > Sounds > Text Tone > Vibration (at the top) > None.
    Edit - just read the last part of your post closer and I'm not aware of such an option.

    how do i get the phone to ring when someone calls, it seems to only vibrate and I can't figure out how to turn on the ringer

    look in settings:sounds and be sure you have a ring tone set, and both vibrate buttons are off.  Also be sure the volume slider id as far right as is comfortable.

  • My phone will not vibrate when I switch to vibrate

    My iphone does not vibrate when turned to vibrate. How do I rectify that?

    For IOS 7.0.6 and IPhones 5S
    I spoke with a  Tier 3 Apple Tech yesterday..
    I  followed her instructions and did the same on all three of my IPhone 5S  phones.  The problem was immediately resovled and fixed on all of  them.   It has not recurred.
    That side button, above the volume controls must be showing orange.
    In SETTINGS:
    1. Go to Sound,
    2. Under VIBRATE - make your choices on whether you want to "Vibrate on Ring"  and/or "Vibrate on Silent."
    3. Go to RINGER and ALERTS (right under VIBRATE).
    4. Under CHANGE WITH BUTTONS - make sure you're showing the green part of the slider.
    Then as long as you have a ringer tone and a vibrate tone selected, exit out of there.
    If  your phone's side button (the "silence" button) is showing orange, you  should have no problems and everything working as you want, just as I  did.
    If  your phone's side button (the "silence" button) is not in the orange  postion, your status quo before all of the above should remain in  effect.
    Again, this "silence" button is directly above the volume buttons on an IPhone 5S. 
    Hope this helps.

  • HT201401 I have set the ringer for my phone, and it is on according to settings, but does not ring when a call is received.  How can I fix this?

    My phone does not ring when a call is incoming.  How can I fix this?

    You might try restarting your device, your router and your Apple TV.

  • This happened to me when I received a call. My phone started vibrating when it received the incoming call but the screen was black and kept vibrating like as if the call was still coming in.

    This happened to me when I received a call. My phone started vibrating when it received the incoming call but the screen was black and kept vibrating like as if the call was still coming in, even though my friend hung up. It kept going and going, so I tried holding down the lock button to turn it off but screen was still black/turned off. Hitting home did nothing. My friend said to try holding down the lock button and home button together to reset it. I tried this and yet nothing happened. I am waiting for the battery to drain out and give it a try.

    To reset, you have to press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears - takes 10-15 seconds.

  • Galaxy S4 will not make or receive calls or texts while connected to home wifi?

    Recently, My Galaxy S4 will not make or receive calls or texts while connected to my home WIFI. The status bar WIFI icon is highlighted and the Connection Bar icon has 0 bars. When I check the WIFI connection in "settings" the status is connected and shows very strong strength. Any time I try to make a call or send a text I get a "no network error message" and basically I am dead in the water as far as cell phone use is concerned. My S4 is my primary phone for home and business use and is very inconvenient when I am missing calls, etc. I have done a phone reset and removed SIM Card as well as a rest. Please advise.

        jlrwillis, I know this would concern me just the same and we definitely want to figure this out for you. How long has this been going on? Since you started experiencing the issue have there been any changes to the device? Software updates, application downloads, or damage to the device? If WiFi is off while at home do you see that you are connected to cellular service? Are you able to make a call that way?
