    My phone randomly doesn't ring when people call and not sound the text alert. I checked all the settings and them seem to be correct. Sometimes it rings, many times it doesn't. I have missed several calls. Same with texts. Anyone know how to fix this?

  • 5.0.1 update for iPhone 4, my phone now doesn't ring

    I updated my iPhone 4 with the 5.0.1 software and now my phone won't ring and I cannot use the side buttons to increase/decrease volume.  When I use the side button to mute the ringer, it doesn't appear to work as an icon doesn't appear on my phone (ringer with a circle/slash through it).  I have checked the settings, and Ringers and Alerts are on full volume and the Change with Buttons says On.  If I adjust the volume from this screen, the ringer does ring.
    I also do not get an audible notification for text messages or new emails.  I have my phone set to vibrate when it rings, and it still vibrates when someone is calling or when the phone would normally make a sound (i.e. plugging into the computer to sync)
    I have noticed worse battery life and will do the full battery drain and recharge but can't do that until tonight.  Any suggestions on troubleshooting today? 

    I finally worked around Apple's problem.  I synced my iPhone 4 phone with another computer.  Lost my apps and music on the phone but still had my music database of almost 3,000 tunes.  I then synced with another computer with the updated iTunes software they just sent out.  Then had to rebuild my apps and music on the phone.  I used Tune-Up plug-in to help with the music with covers and dupes, etc.  It took me till 1 am last night but it's now working and syncing ok. I have about 1,000 tunes on the phone now, with no dupes and 95% of the cover artwork. Without Tune-Up it would take me a week to get the dupes out and covers for all the albums. I think the problems started when Apple tried to send the update directly to the iPhone rather than thru iTunes like they had always done before.  I turned off the cloud and am syncing and backing up with my computer and home sharing is turned off. That method worked very well for the last few years.   It seems like the combination of home sharing, the cloud and 5.0.1 software caused a lot of problems.  Hopefully I have it under control now, or at least until the next software update.  It was a major pita.

  • IPhone 4 - my phone doesn't "ring"...  Speaker plays, it works on vibrate, and when you set the ringer, it will play.  Just not when an incoming call comes in.  Any thoughts?

    Check the position of the mute switch. On the side, just above the volume keys.

    There are two places where vibrations can be set.
    One is the Settings > Sounds
    The other area is Settings > Notifications
    If you have an app set to Alert, it may have a vibration set for it.

  • My Iphone 5s doesn't ring anymore (sms, whatsapp, phone call, reminder in the calendar, etc)

    My Iphone 5s doesn't ring anymore (sms, whatsapp, phone call, reminder in the calendar, etc) I can't find why.
    I trieds to go on Youtube and for that I have sound so it is just for the rings.
    Can somebody help me please?
    Thank you so much!
    Mary

    Have you checked your mute switch (right above the volume buttons)? If you see orange, it is muted and will affect the rings, but not the audio on YouTube.
    Just toggle the switch so you don't see the orange and check again.

  • TS1363 i need to sync my iphone as its damaged ( water submersion) i can't though as itunes is asking me for my passcode and my screen doesn't work, the phones on though still ringing etc ... Please help

    You need to do more research before you make purchases like this. You've wasted your money. The ONLY officially unlocked iPhone model sold in the US is the GSM model, and that model is only sold by Apple. That's the model iPhone you should have purchased.
    Did you read & understand my initial post? Especially this part:
    The unlocking of the GSM portion is just for International travel in order to use local sims. You still have to pay Sprint for the use of their international GSM partner’s network on a “pay as you go basis”.

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • Brand new N76 vibrates but doesn't ring

    I recently received an unused n76. Everything on it works fine, except that it doesn't ring. The mp3 player works, they keys make sounds, it vibrates when called but doesn't ring. I've checked and adjusted the profiles to ensure that the volume is up to maximum, but still no sound.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why?

    Thank you for joining the ASC, however next time you might want to check out the data on a post, as well as the content. Someone had already told the poster to check the mute switch, and this post is 3 years old.

  • I can't get my phone to ring. When a call comes in the phone vibrates. I have checked my settings

    I can't get my phone to ring. When a call comes in the phone vibrates. I have checked my [email protected]

    There should be a little switch on the top left side of your phone. It's the silent mode. If it's switched on, you will see an orange bar there. Switch it off, and you'll get your sound back.

  • E75 - phone doesn't ring! Calls going straight to ...

    My E75 makes 1 of 3 decisions when it receives an incoming call:
    1. The ringtone 'rings' like normal according to it's setting.
    2. It's rings 'once' for a period of about 1 second then is silent but still shows it's receiving a call on the screen.
    3. It doesn't ring at all and apparently the call rings out then goes to message bank.
    I've tried checking all my call diverts and they're only active when it's busy, not answered etc. like normal. I don't have any call barring telling it to divert directly to message bank.
    I personalised 2 of the Profile settings, General and another one that I renamed Work (I forget it's original name). It seems to work fine when I have it set to Work (it quietly rings once and the call shows on the screen) but when it's on General it goes pants on me.
    Help! What good is a phone that won't ring!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Nope - I've only had it about 2 weeks and haven't looked at any apps yet. I haven't even bothered to copy over my contacts from the sim to the phone. Just personalised a few of the basic settings and set up my Hotmail account which (seems to) work fine.
    I thought about restoring the factory settings but it's asking for a lock code and I haven't set any passwords or lock codes on the phone so I chickened out in case it only allowed 1 attempt.

  • Facetime- How do I get it to work?  I've tried calling my iPhone, but it doesn't ring?  I see that the facetime connected somewhat to my phone, but it doesn't ring or allow me to answer.

    I recently purchased Facetime for my iMac.  I tried to test it out by calling my iPhone, but it doesn't ring at all.  When looking at my call history on my cell, it shows that I missed Facetime calls, but no vibration, no ring, nothing.  I then tried to call from my iPhone and still no real connection.  Any ideas?

    Is the iPhone connected to a WiFi network? FaceTime only works if the iPhone is connected to a WiFi network. Also, it must be enabled in Settings -> Phone
