Why does my iPhone flash when I get a text message?

I've reset my phone numerous times, I restored it, and the flash is still going off. Any other ideas? Should I just take it into the store?

Because the setting is turned on.
Settings > General > Accessibility > LED Flash for Alerts, turn it off.

  • Why does my iphone not alert me of a text message while the screen is locked?

    Ever since i updated my phone to iOS6, when my phone is locked it will not vibrate or ring when i recieve a text message but if my phone is unlocked it will. how do i fix this

    After I installed iOS6 my phone doesd the same thing. Personally, I don't like having my messages show up in the lock screen and with iOS5 I never had this issue. I have noticed that I don't get an alert when I leave my phone with the messages window open and the phone is in sleep mode. However, when I leave my phone on the home screen and it is in sleep mode, I do get an alert tone. More times than not, I end up leaving my phone with the messages window open. Does anyone know of a way for it to work like it did before? Thanks for the help!

  • Does anybody know why my camera keeps flashing when I get notifications or messages?

    Hi. I was wondering if anybody could help me... I went to bed on Tuesday night. I put my phone on charge. Was just laying there and all of a sudden me and my partner saw this really bright 'flash, flash'. It looked like it was coming from my iPhone but we couldn't be sure. We unplugged everything bar my phone, from charging and it never happened again. Then Thursday morning we had exactly the same thing happen. My phone is always face down, so we knew it wasn't the screen. And then today my phone was ledged on my work desk, screen up and I received 2 messages. My phone went buzz, as it was on silent, and then this bright 'flash, flash' came out of my camera. It all started before I installed iOS6. So it can't be that. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

    you must have 'led for alerts' on. go to settings, accessability, led flash for alerts.

  • With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?

    With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?
    I usually go to bed after my wife. I have the Do Not Disturb set for 11 pm to 7 am, and I can see the moon symbol.
    So why when I go to bed at midnight and plug in my iPhone to recharge do I get a LOUD BEEP?
    My wife is banning my phone from being next to my bed and an alarm clock.
    To me it seems that the "Do Not Disturb" should turn this beep into a vibrate.

    section2i:
    If that is true, then you should file that as a bug using the link above:
    If I am reading what you are saying correctly, you are saying that when vibrate is 'off', and you turn on the phone and plug it in that a vibration occurs, and that it is not respecting the vibrate 'off'.
    That would be a slightly different issue from what I am asking about (Do Not Disturb), and would probably need a separate bug report.

  • TS4268 My iphone 5 does not notify me when I get a text or incoming call anymore.

    My iphone 5 does not notify me when I get a text or incoming call anymore. It will appear on the screen, but the screen does not light up and it does not give me a tone. If the phone is open (home page or any other screen) it will give me a tone.

    Turn off Do Not Disturb.

  • When I get a text message from my brother or sister who have IPhones there is no text but there is a "download" button.  If I tap the download button it beeps but there is no download. My galaxy note 4 uses verizon messages   app.  how do I get these text

    when I get a text message from my brother or sister who have IPhones there is no text but there is a "download" button.  If I tap the download button it beeps but there is no download. My galaxy note 4 uses verizon messages app.  how do I get these text messages?

    Picture messages without a texting plan are 25 cents each.  Better than the $1.99 or $2.99 from the online store....
    Attaching to an email would not work as mobile email does "do" attachments. 
    Sending to your online album will use text messages, I believe.  Better to use a micro SD card, save to the card, and transfer them to your computer that way.

  • HT4061 how to restore the iphone 4 when you get a restore message error (-1)?

    how to restore the iphone 4 when you get a restore message error (-1)?

    If the iPhone was jailbroken, you get this error due to baseband mismatch. No help for such iPhones here in this forum.
    if not, Restore on another computer. If error persists it is hardware failure.

  • HT201401 My iphone 4 is not ringing, or notifying me when i get a text message or email

    My iphone4 is not ringing, or notifying me when I get a text message or email. It does however vibrate, the alarm works, and I am able to play music. The button to swith vibrate on and off, seems to not be working. Also, the sound buttons. The up button does not work, but the down button does. I have restarted, restored, and changed the ring. Nothing seems to be working. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you go about getting it fixed?

    Did you accidentally move the slider button above the volume control to the "off" position (orange dot visible)? My husband used to do that all the time.

  • I have 2 iphones and when i send a text message it shows up on the other iphone. How do i change this

    I have 2 iphones and when i send a text message, it shows on the other iphone. How do i change this?

    Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
    Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both of your phones; or
    If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your devices, on the other phone tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so both phones are using a different Apple ID for iMessage).  Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores.  It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services.

  • 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.

  • Why does my iPhone ring when my iPad receives a text

    Why does my iPhone receive the same texts as me iPad

    Because they share the same iMessage account and the same "deliver to" address(s).  You can edit the receive addresses to be unique, but then people will need to know which one to send to to get the right device.  The whole point of iMessage is that your messages can be received on any iOS (or now OS X 10.8) machine that you set up with the same iMessage account and receive aliases.
    You can also set up the devices with completely different iMessage accounts, by using different AppleIDs to create the accounts.
