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,

  • 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 have 1 apple id, 2 5S iPhones with separates numbers and both ring when I get a call on one of the numbers. How do I switch that of ?

    I have 1 Apple ID, 2 5S iPhones (1 private/1 work) with separates numbers and both phones ring when I get a call on one of the numbers. How do I switch that of ?

    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.

  • Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can not figure out why there is NO sound when I get a text?

    Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can't not figure out why it does not make a sound, when I receive a text or typing???

    Deborah,
    The solutions on here did not work for me.   I tried.....
    I have the same problem with a BRAND NEW iPhone 5c version 7.1- no sound when a text message arrives.
    (1) I have "do not disturb" scheduled correctly.   No partial moon on the main screen near the time and battery indicator.
    (2) I have the ringer icon correct with no slash.    Yes I turned the hardward mute switch to the UP position (ie the one above the + and - buttons on the left side.   I tried messaging with the bell as shown and bell with a slash and neither work.   The mute switch is not red (switch above the + volume hardware switch)     I enabled some assistant using the Settings menu.    And I press the dot (looks like a target symbol) and go to Devices and I can see what position the bell is in....either a bell with a slash or no slash.
    (3) Yes ringtones are configured for text and other. I can hear them when I am under settings > sounds.   But they do not link with the actual hardware.
    (4) I rebooted the iPhone 5c by using the button at top, slide the red bar, then pressed it again, apple came up for a minute and it seemed to be back up.
    (5) I upgraded the IPhone 5c from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using my pc and itunes.   And the upgrade was successful but did not fix the text issue.
    (6) I do not have it in airplane mode or silent mode.
    (7) I reset all settings using Setttings > General > reset > reset all settings .  this wipes settings but not data and media.
    This is really frustrating.

  • Can I stop my iPad ringing when I get a call on my mobile

    I Have an iPad 4 and an iPhone 6 both running 8.1.2.  When I get a call on my phone my iPad rings as well and I want to stop it

    Settings>Facetime>iPhone Cellular Calls>Off.

  • 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.

  • My iPad now rings when I get a call on my iPhone. How do I stop this from happening?

    I updated to IOS 8 and now my iPad rings (wifi iPad air) when I get a phone call on my iPhone 5s.  How do I stop my iPad from receiving telephone calls?

    Hi there martyb33,
    It sounds like you may have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

  • My phone doesn't ring when I get calls.

      If I close every app, it may work. Seems like it must be a memory issue but I iCloud everything now.  It doesn't even show a call coming in, just the missed call afterwards.  This presents a huge problem in my job!!

    Check that Do-Not-Disturb is not set on accidentally.  If you see a quarter moon icon near your battery icon then its ON.  Use Control Center to switch it off

  • Why won't my facetime ring when I get a call

    I can not tell when someone is trying to facetime. My ringtone doesn't work correctly.

    Do you have sounds turned on for these types of notifications? Also, if you have notifications turned on, do the sounds show up in the Notifications settings area for the particular apps?

  • HT201436 My iPhone 4 ringer will not work when I get a call or text etc and its not on mute what can info ?

    Ringer not working and also what does"Locked Sim" mean its on my other iPhone front screen

    Hello,
    I understand that you have two separate questions. To address your first, regarding your ringer:
    iPhone: Sound muffled or low from the speaker or when speaking into the mic
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1631
    You also inquired about a prompt regarding the Sim card being Locked:

  • No audio after 4.0 upgrade. my phone doesn't ring. any suggestions?

    When I upgraded my phone software, all my audio sounds quit working. My phone doesn't ring when I get a call or text message. I already have a boatload of time involved in trying to fix this. My apple experience is turning sour very quickly. I'm sorry I ever bought this phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am going to publicly humiliated myself and at the same time thank you profusely. I can't tell you how stupid I feel. I am very grateful you took the time to answer an old novice like me. I didn't even know there was such a button and don't know how it got moved but I will know more after today. Thank you again.
