Ringtone messgage tone and vibration not working

For the last few days I have been reading many forums on sounds not working properly on the iphone, unfortunately no-one seems to be having the same problems as me...
My ringtones, message tones, keyboard clicks, e-mail alerts, general notifications, vibrations and the LED flashing are all not working. When I go into settings and have a quickplay of my message and ringtones they work without a problem as do alarm, youtube sounds, the ipod and podcasts, so i am assuming the speaker is fine...?
Once on a call (if I am lucky enough to be looking at the phone while it is ringing) both myself and the other party can hear one another perfectly. These issues have been going on for 3-4days but approximately 6-8weeks ago my loudspeaker did decide that it would also be another mute setting, although I can hear the other person cannot.. this doesn't bother me I am just not sure if it is related so thought it worth mentioning.
I have tried a soft reset (home and power button), reset all via settings and a restore via itunes all with no luck. I have also read of other people with similar reasons have inserted and removed headphones several times, and even cleaning the headphone jack, again none of this working.
I have checked the flip button at the side of the phone (above the volume) is not set to vibrate, though have since noticing these problems have tried moving it and feel no vibrations when set to vibrate.
ANY ideas on what to try next would be soooooo grateful! Thanks in advance.

this worked for my Iphone 4
Go to:
Settings
General
Accesability
Assistive touch - switch to on.
using the assistive touch (the white circle that now appears on your screen), go to:
Device
Then tap the bell (mute) icon.
This should fix the issue. To test it (without having to wait for someone to call you) write an SMS and see if the keyboard clicks are audible.
I hope this solves your issue like it did mine. If it doesn't maybe try tapping that mute icon again and/or flicking the actual mute bottom on the left hand side of your iPhone.

  • Sound, headphones, and vibrator not working on 4s after ios 7.0.6 update

    So after i updated my phone last night it started doing this thing where the ear piece speaker, the loud speaker, the vibrator, and headphone jack all stop functioning. As soon as i put the phone in silent after awhile or restarting it in silent it will start working again. I don't know what's causing this, but its annoying. Anyone else having a similar issue?

    I also have an iPhone 4S everything was fine then I realized my speaker wasn't giving no sound restarted switch to
    Mute then back again then it was all good. Thought it was only me

  • I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do?

    I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do? do I just need a new screen or what? I'm freaking out here

    Don't freak out, just get over it. It's probably done.
    What should I do if I drop my phone in the toilet?
    Apple may offer you an refurbished iPhone in exchange for yours, for about half the cost of a new one.
    I wouldn't be too specific about just how it got wet

  • How can i convert my song into .mr4 for making it my ringtone, just renaming it is not working?

    how can i convert my song into .mr4 for making it my ringtone, just renaming it is not working?

    Here's how:
    If you are using Windows, make sure you are able to view the file extension.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219
    1. Select a title (.mp3 or .m4a) in your iTunes Music Library
    2. Do File > Get Info on selected title (Windows do Edit > Get Info)
    3. In the dialog choose Options tab
    4. Set Start Time and End Time (no more than 35 secs otherwise won't work)
    5. Close dialog.
    6. Now control click the title (right click) and choose Create AAC Version
    Note: If you don't have Create AAC version, switch in menu File > Preferences...(Windows do Edit > Preferences...) > General > Import Settings... > Import Using: AAC Encoder.
    7. When it is done, drag the newly create title to the desktop.
    8. Delete the newly create title in iTunes. <-- This step is important
    9. Rename the title on your desktop from ringtone.m4a to ringtone.m4r
    10. Drag and drop it into iTunes
    Now you have a ringtone.
    Make sure it is selected in iTunes > Tones for syncing with your new iPhone.

  • Vibration not working in silent mode

    Vibration not working in silent mode

    Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  Then give it a try. 

  • Drag and Drop not working since last software update

    Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving  an icon on the doc and the same thing occured.  YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Vibration not working [under warranty] Lumia 920

    Hi,
    I have a lumia 920 and my vibration doesn't work and also i have my glass broked (touch works perfectly), but vibration started not working a lot of time after that accident.
    An employee of the Nokia service center told me that my problem of vibration is not covered under warranty because the glass is broken. On the internet it says that the vibration's problem is a manufacturing error.
    I think is fair that the problem of vibration since it is proven to be a manufacturing defect will be fixed under warranty! Am I wrong?
    [I've tried soft and hard reset and did not work]
    thx you for help

    The problem is that the service centre has no way of knowing that the vibration issue occurred before you broke the glass. Most manufacturers will declare a warranty void when there are signs of physical damage.
    All you can really so is discuss it further with the service centre or contact Nokia directly in your country and submit a complaint.

    Is this a recent issue, or has it been like this since day one?
    Are you using a USB hub to connect your peripherals or is it directly plugged into the computer?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Keyboard and Trackpad Not Working; Mac OSX Unexpectedly Quit?

    Hey everyone... I think I may need to stop by the Apple store to figure this one out, but I just wanted to make sure if there was anything I could do on my own first.
    So basically, on my MacBook Pro that I got nearly two years ago (late September of 2006) for the past month and a half has had problems. In the beginning, the mouse and keyboard would freeze up and just not work. Restarting the comp did nothing. Some times were worse than others (once it was frozen for 1.5 hours). Then it stopped, every now and then having a few freezes (sometimes when the keyboard froze but the trackpad was still good), but two days ago I had my comp not hooked up to an adapter. When the battery got low, the comp froze. I went to bed and closed the laptop, and the next day it was still frozen. I unfroze it, but then it happened again (I'm pretty sure the same situation... almost no battery)... and it is still frozen, even after multiple restarts.
    Also, during the time when freezes weren't as bad, sometimes the keyboard would get stuck on one key, usually the volume up button (very annoying)... then I was told to restart the comp. When I came back, I was told that Mac OS X had unexpectedly quit.
    Sorry that was a lot to read, but any help is really appreciated! Thanks!
    Not sure if this is also important, but I did spill some water on the keyboard a very long time ago (late December '06)... it wouldn't take this long for that to cause the problem, would it?

    Does booting up in [Safe Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455?viewlocale=en_US] help at all? This boot mode checks the disk on startup and disables non-apple start up items and certain kernel extensions.
