Sound notifications on iPhone 4S with iOS 6 go silent occasionally

Since upgrading my 4S to iOS 6 there have been two occasions where the sound notifications (email alerts, alarms, etc) go silent (the vibrations still work). I am able to get sound out for other items (music, games, etc). The only way I have found to get the sound back for the notifications is a hard reset of the phone.
Has anyone else had this isse?

The strange thing is that my wife have iPhone 4 and I updated her phone to iOS 6 and it works. The autobrightness doesn`t go upp all the way. It works as it did in iOS 5.1.1
Isn't it weird??? It shuold work in the 4s too.

Why we still dont have sound notifications on iPhone??? This started in September with the launch of the new IOS and iPhone 5... I've been waiting and waiting and still nothing... How hard can this be to fix????????

Hi guys... The notifications i'm speaking about are everything that happens on our facebook. The only exception where i get notifications is if someone actually use my name on a post, then i have a notification. Now, if it is a post on my wall, a comment on one of my photos or even a like, there is no sound or vibration at all.
Also, when i say "We" is bacause there are a few users complaining about the same. There are some other forums, specially on facebook about this. What happens is that facebook blocks some of those groups.
One more thing is i did try all possible things to make sure i was doing the right things in order to have notifications. Slider is obviously not in mute position, notifications sounds are on on facebook settings on main settings and also inside the app they are on. Did try to switch everything off and reboot then change again. Did restore the iPhone as new a couple of times. And like i said, if someone actually write my name i will have sound notification...
Anyway, many thanks for your help

No, restoring the phone will install the latest iOS version.
If you go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, the phone will revert to its fresh out of the box state, but iOS will not be reloaded - you'll still have iOS 6. See if the problem is fixed, and if it is, load your data back manually.

IPhone 4s with ios 6 shows full wifi signal but can't access to the internet while other idevice can

Hi everyone,
I updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 a few months ago and there was no problem until I change my sim card to other carriers last two days. This second sim card is the same sim card that I used it earlier this year with no problem. But the problem I face is when my iphone goes to sleep mode I realised that I can't receive any push notification from imessage, Whatsapp, and Line. When the phone is awake the wifi signal is back and I have to go to each application in order to get the message. I have tried the following methods but it didn't work: reset all network settings, restore as new iphone, push home and power button together, switch off my iphone, turn on airplane mode, and even change my router. At the moment I have restored my iphone as new for the 5th times.
Now the problem is worsen, after the phone is sleep for about 5 minutes and when I awake my iphone it shows the wifi signal. But I can't access to the internet at all. It shows no working internet on Whatsapp. Safari can't load any web page, the weather app can't update temperature etc. I have to switch off and switch on wifi in setting menu so that I can use the internet. And when I leave my iphone four about 5 - 10 minuetes then the problem start again. While I can't access to the internet on my iphone 4s, I used my dad's iphone 4s with ios 5.0.1 and it works just fine with the internet. My laptop can also access to the internet with the same wifi network but not my iphone.
Does anybody know what's going on with my iphone 4s? Is it the bug from IOS 6 or my iphone is broken? Please help me.
Thank you.

Any update will cause problems for a few users. And those users will rush here and post "the sky is falling" stories about their experience. The 99.99% of people who have no problems after an update won't bother to post here; indeed, most of them don't even know ASC exists. FWIW, I had no problems with iOS 7 on my 4S. Your problem is most likely not related to iOS 6, but you should probably update anyway.

iOS 7 has many multiple tasks. You can save battery life to some extent by few steps. First go to location services and bettr 'Off' them which are not needed. (Ex. Notes.. Reminders.. Etc). Also you can off few apps in 'get notifications' centre. Also usage of 3g by any mobile consumes much battery life. Better to connect any Wi-fi

IPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.2 Battery Drains FAST!

My iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.2 the battery drains tremendously fast! This morning it was 100% charged then just by surfing facebook and flipboard with 3G, it became 7% in the noon. I hope Apple can solve this problem! I'm very upset right now

I've pretty much proved to myself that this is a bug in 7.0.2. Since my post a few days ago I have:
Done a full restore of my iPhone with 7.0.2 - problem still persisted - draining battery at approx 23%/hour with no use, and with all the battery saving tips applied (no push notifications, no background updating etc).
Restored iPhone with 7.0 - battery drain dropped to approx 5%/hour with no use and battery saving tips applied. With push notifications & background updating turned back on, battery drain increased to approx 12%/hour which is high, but still significantly better than 7.0.2.
I would recomend everyone who is having this problem with 7.0.2 to lodge a bug report with Apple - www.apple.com/feedback - hopefully if enough of us lodge the bug report, Apple will listen and release an update.
As for downgrading, unfortunately we cannot downgrade to 6.x anymore, but you can downgrade to 7.0. It is a matter of downloading the appropriate firmware. Firmware's are available here - http://www.icj.me/ios - although that site lists 6.x, they will no longer work, so get the 7.0. That site redirects you to Apple's server for the appropriate ROM, so they are legitimate. Before you install it, you have to turn "Find My iPhone" off by going to Settings | Privacy | Location Services | Find iPhone. The installation seems to turn it back on when done, but you should probably check. Once the firmware has downloaded, you can install it on your device by going to iTunes, and holding down the option key while clicking Restore. This is on Mac - on Windows I assume you would press Alt (but if that doesn't work, try Ctl or Shift). If you have pressed the right button on your keyboard, a file browser window will appear, allowing you to choose the firmware that you just downloaded.
Once installation is complete, iTunes will tell you that there is an update available for your iPhone, just click "Later" everytime the warning appears.

I've updated my iPhone 3gs with IOS 6 but being only 8GB it now has no space for data. Can I go back to IOS 5.1?

Can I restore back to IOS 5.1?

It sounds like you have a hacked/unofficially unlocked iphone. When you update, it will indeed lock it back, as it should.
The ONLY place that can legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which they are locked and no U.S. carrier does this.

Push Notification Problems on 3GS with IOS Update

I recently updated my iPhone 3GS with IOS 5. Since then I've found my phone is very slow, but also that my What's App Messenger and Facebook apps do not give me push notifications. Everytime I open the apps, it tells me to connect with iTunes to use push notifications. I've done this a few times, but it makes no difference. I don't know if I'm suppose to change any settings on iTunes, but cant find anything to change. All my Whatsapp notification settings are on. I also don't want to re-install WhatsApp because I'm scared I will lose all my messages.
I found with previous software updates that my phone slowed down, but Apple fixed it quickly. I really hope they will fix this soon. I dont understand why they don't warn users about the possible problems the new software can cause. I've read on a few sites that you cannot restore your iPhone or iPad 1 to previous software.
Hope someone can help me with my push notification settings.

Voice quality problems on iPhone 5s with IOS 7.02 on Verizon.I

I have a brand new iPhone 5s with IOS 7.02 on Verizon. Everything works great except when on talk on the phone the normal way. When I do that, people tell me they can hardly hear me. But, when I put them on the speaker phone, they can hear me very well. Also, Voice Memos, and SIri all work just fine. It is only when I talk on the phone the normal way (without the speakerphone on) that the voice quality I am transmitting is very low. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks very much.

Apple helped me solve this problem. They gave me a brand new iPhone 5s. The were just great in their support. It appears that my first iPhone 5s had a faulty "audio chip." This is the chip that changes the frequency of your voice as you talk into the microphone; Apple explained that it is one frequency when talking on the phone, and another where using the speakerphone, and another when using Siri, and another when using voice memos, etc. You use the same 2 microphones for all of these applications (one at the bottom of the phone, and one my the camera lens), but the "audio chip" adjusts the freqency based on the applicaiton you are using. So, on my first iPhone 5s, my "audio chip" was defective, so they gave me a new iPhone 5s, and it has been working just fine. I had the most current IOS operating system on the original iPhone 5s with the faulty "audio chip," and on my new iPhone 5s which works great. Hope this helps. The technicians at Apple Customer Care and at the Apple Store are very aware of this problem with potentially defective "audio chips" in some of the iPhone 5s's. Cheers, Clarence from Cleveland.

How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock?

How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock? I can't find the previous owner and I really want to use my new iPhone, I did purchase it Second-Handed.and now I'm stuck. Ive tried recovery mode and nothing still restores and asks me the same thing. Been working on this forever- Please Help!

If you want to risk your money, fine.
To answer your questions
Is this just an iOS 7 feature?
Yes, Activation Lock is an iOS 7 feature.
Could you not restore the device to an earlier version?
No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device.
That may mean jailbreaking, I'm not sure.
Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple or this forum.
Or what about replacing the motherboard?
There are no user serviceable parts on an iPhone.

I have an iphone 5 with iOS 6. I just tried to sync it with my itunes account to put new music on my phone and it gave me a message that said the iphone could not be synced b/c "the sync session had failed to start". How do I fix this?

I have an iphone 5 with ios 6.1.4. I just tried to sync my phone to my itunes acct to load new music onto my phone and it gave me a message saying that it was unable to sync b/c "the sync session failed to start". It let me download all pictures, but would not let me do anything else and just kept repeating the same message. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
