Should I be able to hear my iPhone ringing in my Pocket?
It just seems like the phone isnt loud enough to hear, I have no way to compare with another iPhone so I thought I'd ask in here because i figure a phone should be noticeable in one's pocket.
thanks in advance.
It depends on the tone selected. Some are very quiet or of a 'soft' nature that are easily missed if the iPhone is in a pocket or not within reach, but others (the Old Phone tone being a good example) can be heard even in very noisy environments.
Given that there is an option to enable vibrate with ring, there's no reason to believe that an iPhone in any pocket or in a case and on the person, will not be noticed when a call is received.
Tones for incoming emails, SMS, etc are a different matter though. These sounds are quite soft and don't repeat until cancelled so they are more easily missed. Volume for these is controlled by the Sound settings along with ringtone volume and vibrate option, but the tones for these events can't be changed. Leaving vibrate set to on is the best way to reduce the risk of missing these tones if the phone is in a pocket.

Major heat problem. should i be able to hear the fans?
my black macbook with 1gb ram is getting very hot when i use front row to play videos at full screen. after about 30-40 mins the left corner of the macbook is so hot i can only touch it for a second or so. then without warning the video just freezes. the picture remains on the screen but looks like it's paused. i then get the spinning colour wheel. the only way to rectify is to force a power off (force quit has no effect). i have to let it cool down for a while and try again. it works fine after that until it gets hot again.
when it locks up, it is completely silent. should i be able to hear the fans working? there is no warm air being expelled from any part of the unit as far as i can tell. the case is just really hot.
i ran a little experiment by pointing a desk fan at the notebook and it played fine for five hours without problems!!! the corner of the macbook was cool to the touch.
this happens in lid closed or open modes.
anyone else have this or is it time to call applecare?

Macbook Black 1gb Ram 120gb HDD Mac OS X (10.4.7)UPDATE
ok, so we have had the firmware update and guess what?
all seems ok now!!!!
coreduotemp now reports 65 degrees after playing video at full screen. much better than the 85 degrees it was hitting. now when it gets hot i can hear the fans going. i ran a terminal window and did yes > /dev/null and after only a few seconds the temp was rising to 85-87 and the fans came on really hard and brought it to 68-70. no system stall yet.
normal idle while using only safari over airport is between 41-45 degrees!!!!
i am very happy so far. lets just hope it is the cure.
many thanks for reading and replying.

Hearing Aid connection, can't hear the iPhone ring.
Hearing Aids and iPhone4
Hi, I have a Phonak Audeo Smart hearing aid, connected via a Phonak iCom Bluetooth system to my iPhone 4. The bluetooth pairs and connects without a problem, I can hear the call and hang up via the main iCom button, but I cannot hear the call ringing in and so I don't know when I receive a call and don't know how to answer it. The connection seems to be made automatically but I don't know that it has happened. I have the latest IOS, I've tried different iPhone ring tones and also tried silent mode so the phone itself doesn't ring at all, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?AND I ALSO CANNOT UPDATE MY APPS?? DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THE SPEAKER AND APP PROBLEM???

Should I be able to hear my fan?
I have a question. I hear all this discussion of mooing, and I've never heard it. I've gotten my mac book up to what coreduotemp reports as 75C and I've not heard any noise... including fans kicking on. If i put my ear really close I can hear that "whine" which goes away upon loading the processor, but that is it and its very faint. Should I be concerned that my fan doesnt work, or are they that quiet? Thanks
The fan is audible, but at 72~75C, (for my specific black macbook) the fan noise is very faint and can be confused with the hard drive noise. The optical drive definitely overpowers it.
It's easier to hear it (louder) at 69C when it's mooing.
If you just want to make sure your fan is working, use SystemLoad to ramp your CPU and raise the temperature. The fan should be definitely audible then. -
Hi all odd question I know, I was on the phone talking to my wife earlier who uses a 3gs pretty sure that I heard her text alert whilst we were talking, is this possible?
Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
StraightTalk is not a supported carrier... not all features may work. -
What to do about some one that cannot hear the iPhone ringing?
My mother has an iPhone 4S. When she is in her aprartment alone, she takes out her hearing aids. When her phone rings she cannot hear it. We've tried putting the phone in an empty glass to amplify the sound, but it's not loud enough, still. Is there a device we can purchase that will connect to the phone when she is at home that will amplfy the ringing sound?
i do know that apple is working on some hearing aids that work with the iphone directly. so that should help her out a lot when it comes out

Has anyone received any feedback from someone calling them and was able to hear their iPhone ringe tone? I keep changing my tones and everytime someone calls they know what it is. Is this intentional or a network issue? I didn't have this happening with my Sony Ericsson phone - thank goodness - since I could use mp3's and voice commands as ringtones! (can't have everyone knowing what I really think of them!!!!)
If the headset is connected and turned on, all audio is output to the headset.

Cannot hear iPhone Ring with Headset
I just started using the V-Moda Vibe II wired headset but I usually prefer to leave the earpiece hanging from my shirt while I'm not making calls. This is because the earpiece interferes with my hearing as it blocks outside noise. The problem is I cannot hear my iPhone ringing because it only plays within the earpiece and not from the iPhone's speaker. I set my phone on vibrate but sometimes while having it on my holster and walking I cannot feel the vibration. Is there a way for the iPhone speaker ringer to work while using a headset? If not, Apple should make this an option in Preferences>Sound.
Thanks,
AlexanderYou're right! You know what's weird? Whenever I charge my iPhone to my iHome alarm clock radio, my iPhone's sound settings get all weird. Perhaps because when I connect it, my iPhone says that "This accessory is not compatible with iPhone", even though it should according to the alarm clock box. Keyboard clicks disappear. So maybe my sound settings got screwed up because of that. I just tested it and heard the ringer from my iPhone. Thanks guys!

I have a sign of a little lock on the top of my iPhone 4 screen and therefore I am not able to hear from the people who call me unless that I switch the speaker on. What should I do
The little lock has nothing to do with speaker volume. It means you have locked the rotation on your iPhone.
Have you tried using the volume control on the side of the iPhone to raise the volume when someone calls? -
just installed IOS 7.0.2 (11A501) on Iphone now the sound when I play music is too low even when I crank it as loud as it will go. I used to be able to hear it when I mowed the lawn. not anymore. any suggestions?
This should solve the problem
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
It will not erase any of your personal data, just reset the settings.
Hope this helps. -

Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.

When i make call from iphone,loudspeaker is being enabled automatically and not able to hear any sound ..
And some time it's worked...OMG.....this very tiny hole located next to the headset jack........I suffered for the same issue around 20 days after purchasing my iPhone 4S. Even I visit the apple store too, they suggested to talk with apple online.....just before going to apple, i was reading "iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802) and at the very first line, i found "Make sure that nothing is blocking the top microphone (located next to the headset jack)." and this located next to the headset jack solved the problem completely for sound in vidio as well as sound with calling speaker phone.....Actually, I purchased a plastic cover (like screen protector type) that blocked this small hole (microphone hole i think) and the problem was because of this...I remember on the first day i talk with speacker phone (nothing on iPhone at that time) and it was working...
No need to restore or hard reset anything...i was fearing i'll lost everything if I hard reset my iPhone that took 5-10 to build my iPhone as I like apps, music, vidio on it.... -
