Text Alert problem

Since upgrading to IOS 6 last night I only intermittently get alert when a text comes in. Does anyone have similar problem or fix. Also what is 'Lock Sounds' in settings/sounds?

there is nothing you can do to go back to ios 5.1.1....thats why i went and bought another 4s with the old software....we dont know how long this sound alert problem is going to continue...it could be months before they come out with a new update fix....believe me, i spent 4 hours on the phone with apple support and we could not find a fix for this problem......i guess as more and more people call in they will realize that this is a real problem and not just random.....also they have employess who do nothing other than read these forums, so the more people who write about this issue they will recognize there is a problem with the message sound alert....

Sound not working for text alert just vibrate

Sound not working for text alert just vibrate and no sound on keyboard

I'm having the same problem, it just started today (11/13/2012).

Keyboard Clicks = Off
The mute button is also in the correct place (ring, not mute).

Has anyone had issues with not hearing the text alerts on the iPhone 5?

hello i have been having issues with my iphone 5 not hearing the text alert tones.it will go from time to time & only hear the vibrating sound, The wired part is all other alerts work fine , just text.
Has anyone having this same issue ? Also i noticed sometimes when i text, i'll see some crazy blury lines go across my screen like as i text it will move across any help?

I have had that issue with no text alert sound and also with calls, no ring for the call but then I got a missed call or voicemail alert. Never had the blurry lines though. Right after I upgraded, the ring changed to a very short version of what I have selected and only rang once, other times not at all. This was a very big problem since I am working from my car most of the day and get a lot of calls and texts. I did a reset with home button and button on the top as described in a post somewhere here on the forum and the problems stopped. So far so good. Give reset a try!

IPhone 6 recently stopped ringing and making text alert sounds since most recent upgrade to ios 8.1.1, has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you correct?

AFter recent upgrade to ios 8.1.1, my iphone 6 no longer makes text alert sounds and ring does not sound for incoming calls (except on car bluetooth). has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you correct?

I had the same problem until tonight. Played with ring tones, do not disturb, volume, and everything else posted. What I found is that when you go to sounds/text tone, there are two types of tones in the scrolling menu. The top set of tones are for alert tones and the bottom set are ringtones. They are separated by a gray bar that states their purpose. Many of the tones are the same name. You need to set your text alert in the Ringtones and reminders, alarms, and such in alerts. The weird thing about this menu is when you go to sounds/ringtone the menu is reversed. Mine works in locked mode or unlocked now. I have an Iphone 6 8.1.2. My problem started after my latest OS upgrade. Hope this helps.

How do I add text alerts to my contacts

webOSroundup has a preNote article which suggest that you can add the number from a text alert (say, Facebook or Hotmail) to your Contacts and the next time you receive an alert from them it will display the name you assign it in your contacts.
The problem is, my FB text alerts all start with 326-xxxx and every subsequent alert increments the last digit by 1 (326-65115 then 326-65116, etc.). The same for Hotmail (990-0174 then 990-0175, etc.).
When I try adding just the first 3 digits, subsequent alerts are not recognized as being in my Contact.
If I can get this to work it would be great, because then I can then assign a ring tone to the Contact.
Am I missing something?

You both will need to have each others email that it used for iMessage on each device.
Then go to
Settings>Messages
Make sure your email is in the "Receive At" section

Middle-of-the-night text alerts for data usage - can I set alerts to email only?

Can't seem to find how to turn OFF text alerts for data overage, but leave email alerts in effect. OR, is there a way to specify WHEN text alerts are sent? Seems every one I've received comes in between 1 and 3 AM EST.

i'm also having major CPU problems w/ FF 29.0.1. when i restart the app it calms down again but after loading tabs it steadily climbs up to 100% after not too long. i have checked out the 2 CPU links/articles above and do all the basic troubleshooting and tips, but with all the FF tools & add-ons isn't there some sort of CPU monitor that has the ability to display which extensions/scripts are hogging the CPU? Activity Monitor on Mac just shows the total used by the app. it's impossible in my case to efficiently disable dozens of add-ons & scripts, restart, and test each one by one b/c it can take several hrs before the CPU starts to spike high again. i have no time for this.
thanks

IPhone 5S not receiving sound or vibrate text alerts from Android phones

I have recently noticed on my iPhone 5s, that when someone with an android phone sends a text message to me, there is no sound alert or vibration, even though both are set to on position. The problem does not occur for calls or email alerts, only text alerts and it does not happen when another iPhone user texts me. I am fully updated to iOS 8.1.2, I have restarted my phone. Any thoughts as to why only the texting alerts are affected and only from Android users? Thanks!

I think we do in fact have a similar problem. When my phone is in sleep mode is when it doesn't always produce phone rings and never gives text alerts. I just verified this by having my assistant call and text me from her Verizon Galaxy phone and call me from our office land line. From sleep mode my iPhone didn't ring with the first phone call from her cell or her first text message, but the text message did arrive. She said my phone went straight to voicemail on the call and the text showed as delivered. The land line test call did ring my iPhone. A second attempt to call my sleeping iPhone from her cell phone did result in my phone ringing. A second text attempt had the same result as the first, no alert, but the text did arrive. A third text attempt with my phone not in sleep mode resulted in a text alert with the arrival of the text. I did the same test, calling and texting my phone, with another iPhone 5s. My phone rang from sleep mode but didn't give a text alert.
So, it would seem that this is mostly a text alert issue only when the phone is in sleep mode. I'm going to review all my settings and failing finding something there that solves the problem I may call AT&T (if I am feeling patient). I'll report back if I find a solution.

I have no sound alerts on my iphone5. My software is up to date. I can hear on a call but I have no text alerts, no ringtones, nothing that involves sound! Everything was okay a few hours ago. I have no idea how this happened. Please help!!

I tried the compressed air, Qtip, etc... still nothing. Called Apple again.... and we did a complete factory reset from iTunes, wiping everything out... still no sound, which proves that it is a hardward problem, under warranty, I have to have phone replaced No Apple repair centers within 300 miles of me! So... shipping phone off today. Bummer.

Ios5 update: repeated text alert tones.

Hello and for those who are curious about this topic.. This is the low down...
I will recieve a text alert.. Then half way through that alert... I will have another.. Then just after that has been alerted.. Another will send straight after.
After the tones have stopped, if i am playing music, the music will fade in and out constantly as if i am still hearing the text alerts :S
This started after i updated to IOS5, anyone else have this? Its really annoying!

I solved the problem by changing the SMS tone in the settings menu. After this I reseted the tone to the original sound. Very strange, but it worked!

Ringtone set for text alert, doesn't stop playing

i have a ringtone set for my text alert, whenever it plays and i toggle the silent switch the ringtone keeps playing, especially if I get multiple texts. How do I fix this?

I have also run into this with using the Web Object Interface and pointing it to an HTML page that we host which displays a streaming (Video On Demand or VOD) video ever since we started using Captivate 7.0
What is strange about this is that this problem only occurs in the FLASH-format published output from Captivate (we now use 7.0.1).
When testing out the exact same course using the HTML5 output that was published (tested on an iPad) the audio from the previous slide actually stops playing when we go to a different slide. This is the desired result and it works fine.
I have just posted a bug report at the link that you provided (thanks) because the part of the Captivate program which publishes the Flash version of the course does not seem to be destroying the previous web object when the student goes to a different slide.

HT201412 iPhone 4S text alerts stop working

I've have iOS 6 for months. Out of the blue my text alerts stopped working. I've rebooted a few times to no avail. All settings look right. And everything else seems to be working proper.

Diesel I tend to agree with you there! All other sounds do work and I have the "glass" tone choosen for texting. I was all working fine with the new ios6 which I've had for months. since all other sounds work, I'll be heading to the genius bar at my local apple store. Now if only I'd taken that apple care ....LOL oh well

I I have dropped a clange then I will know next time, but can anyone help me use the said downloads.
Thanks in advance.
Derek.

Select 'tones' under library on iTunes left Pane, do you see your text tones on the right Pane now?
If they are there, connect your iPhone to your computer, select your iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left Pane, then on the right Pane, select the TONES tab, check the text tones you want to transfer to your phone and click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

Text box problem or question

I'm having the text field problem. I have two text boxes (inside my .fla file) one i can add more text without the box expanding and can then select the text and croll down to view the missing text and the other one just gets longer the more text I add. I'm trying to duplicate the text box that does not expand the more text I add to it.
All the settings in the properties are the same on both and I've tried it in MX and CS3 and the both have the same properties in both.
I'm stumped can anyone help.
I'm attaching the file.
Thanks!

If you right click the textfield on the stage you can select the "scrollable" option for it. Another option to duplicate the textfield is to copy/paste it.

Question on the known solution to the "Three pixel text jog" problem

Hello,
I'm "browser-checking" my website using Dreamweaver CS4 tool for that. I've got in various places the "three pixel text jog" IE problem. I followed the link to solution proposed by DW. It says I should add an IE conditional statement in the <head> part, so that I can define the CSS zoom property for that particular element. Hence, something like that:

(assuming the problem occurs for a <p> inside my #Content div.)
My question is: can I replace this by

For another browser problem (prevent the browsers from using some of their own default settings), it was advised to reset the margin, padding and border properties using:
   border: 0;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
(although in my case I had to later remove border: 0; because it would prevent default buttons of forms to be displayed as buttons.)
Does this * really mean "anything"? Is it valid as used above for fixing the three pixel text jog problem? If not, do I really have to define this zoom property for any single HTML element for which it occurs? (It currently occurs for some headers, <div>, "<div> <div>" sequence, some <p>.)
Any comment welcome...
Emilie
P.S.: I tried it and DW doesn't flag that problem any more, but I'm unsure how much I can trust it.

The behavior is unexpected. The file paths are
correct?

My 4s lost sound on text alerts, music and keyboard clicks but still plays ringtones and alarm sounds. Took to Genius Bar but they said never seen anything like it and to buy a new one. Help please, need fix to get all sound back!

Lost partial sound, speakers work but keyboard, music, text alert does not except on headphones, please help!

If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty. Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
