Phone wont tell me when i get a call if locked

when my iphone is locked (screen off) and i receive a call, it wont light up to say im getting a call. it just stays black. then i unlock later and it says i have a bunch of missed calls.
anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

icebike: i made them test it after nuking. but it worked, they basically couldnt reproduce the problem. problem began again after i left.
modular: it doesnt ring at all. i will not know i received a call until i unlock it. airplane mode method was just someone's suggestion, in case someone was going to say it again here, i decided to include that it doesnt work. It basically was putting the phone in airplane mode then turning off the iphone then turning it back on and taking it off airplane mode.
i should mention the problem is intermittent and for some reason one out of every 10 calls gets through.

Go into your settings, are the push notifications turned on? Same with messages.

Since last upgrade my phone won't ring when I get a call or text message

Anyway to get phone to ring when I get a call or message. Since the last upgrade it will only ring occasionally

Hi BrendaQ,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone does not ring when you receive calls or messages, start with these steps:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

My phone will not ring when i get a call i have checked setting and volume is up

only had phone 1 week have 3 phones 1 itunes acount how do i set up multiple acounts in itune it keeps syncing all of our info

no, my do not disturb was not on. and on the do not disturb, you still get calls from those in your favorites. I turned off the vibrate with any call or alert and put the flashing led in the accessible section on.
but it should not do that. it didn't even vibrate. my girlfriend called me and texted me with phone on table while we were at dinner and nothing. it went right to vm she said. tower is full so something is wrong.
thanks for the idea though.

My sister's iphone volume will not go up or down and her ringtones do not ring when she gets a call what should she do?

My sisters Iphone volume buttons do not work and the phone does not ring when she gets a call yet when she is in settings. What should she do?

Hi,
If it's Not the Silent Switch... Try a Reset of the Phone...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
Cheers,

When I get an call the phone switches automatically to speaker phone when I pick up the call

When I get an call the phone switches automatically to speaker phone when I pick up the call.
I then have to press the handset button to get out of the speaker phone mode.
How do I set it to goto the handset automatically.
I have the most up-to date software and I have pulled that battery.

That's just what happens when you do a battery pull. If your phone is turned OFF, the cache is not accessible. As you're probably aware, anytime any electronic device is acting up (PC, printer, modem, etc.), unplugging it will correct many issues; it's the same with your phone.
I can't offer a really technical explanation, just trust me on this one and remove your battery while your phone is ON.

I took mine to the Genius Bar at Apple and it turned out to be a bug within the phone itself and since it was still under warranty, they replaced it for free.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

Caller ID is a carrier feature & the number must match exactly what is entered in your contact listing.

Phone does not ring when I get calls

My phone does not ring when I receive incoming calls since I upgraded software to IOS 7.

I tried that just now and it doesn't seem to have fixed it--but it is not a constant problem--just sometimes! I received a call from a friend when do not disturb was turned off but also when it was on! That was really strange!
Now I am trying to figure out why my camera flash won't work!!
Yikes crazy stuff going on with my phone since I updated the software!.

I realize that my wife could make her own iTunes account; however, she's been using mine for about 2 years now and this hasn't been an issue. I guess with the Family Sharing she can have access to all of our music and apps now with her own account.
I'll have to see if unchecking our emails resolves this issue.

Just purchased the iphone6 and can hardly hear when I get a call, despite volume up, bluetooth off and nothing obstructing device. This issue is all over the Web, come to find out. How to fix?

Turns out there was a film on the glass side of the phone that I didn't even know was there! All is well now! Yay, cause I'm really liking this phone. Had a blackberry for ever. Thank you for your prompt response. Ann

When my wife receives a call and her screen is locked she gets two choices. Remind me and answer. When I get a call, I get 3 buttons. Remind me, message and answer. Both are iPhone 4S with ios7.

When my wife receives a call and her screen is locked she gets two choices. Remind me and answer. When I get a call, I get 3 buttons. Remind me, message and answer. Both are iPhone 4S with ios7. Is there some setting to fix this? I thought the phones were set up identically.
Thanks.

Glad it helped. I only remembered it was there because I'd just been checking something else in that screen.
Best of luck.
