Why does my iPhone only ring once?

Why does my iPhone only ring once or not at all on incoming calls?

It is probably because you have switched off the notifications alerts.
Check in settings-notifications center-message and there select the alert sound.
Reply if it helps out

  • 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 only send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send?

    why does my iphone send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send (via message or email)?

    Are you sending via Camera itself?
    That is, selecting a picture, then select forward link symbol from bottom left
    then select another picture,
    Each time make sure you see the blue check mark at bottom right of each selected picture.
    The number of " # Photos Selected" should be displayed at the top.
    Then select Mail or Message and transmit.

  • Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email?

    Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email? I'm curious to know if anyone else has had this issue with the Iphone 5s...

    imessage has a new setting that shows all emails associated with your apple id.  There are two sections, send and receive.  Since you are using the same apple id, Im sure if you adjust one of those settings to your mobile number instead of your appleid, it wont send double.
    You might also have to adjust your wifes settings too, so those emails dont overlap

  • Why does the iphone 4 work only intermittently with the Sony HCB150 speakerphone?

    Why does the iphone 4 work only intermittently with the Sony HCB150 speakerphone?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for further assistance.

    You may need to take it up with your carrier. Over here, I did and only until then did it work correctly.

  • 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.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

  • Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.
    Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
    If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
    iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?

    Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?
    And By hard boot I mean holding the home and power button down at the same time for 10 seconds or whatever
    I see other people have these grainy flash photographs if you try to take a picture in darkness the picture comes out very dark and grainy I thought the software would ultimately fix this but it's been going on for over a year I usually take my photographs in daylight but I need this to be fixed
    If it is a hardware issue I hope Apple will replace my iPhone 5 because I was just waiting for one of the iOS updates to fix it I bought my phone in November 2012 its the iPhone 5
    Please help or advise if you can was this just a software or hardware issue I know Apple was aware of it but I was advised that iOS update would fix it but obviously not
    Is it safe to do a hard boot on my iPhone five by holding the power and home button at the same time for 10 or 20 seconds I saw someone said that fixed there's at least temporarily
    I'm typing this on my iPhone five right now why do the words go off to the left and right no matter if I hold the phone vertical or horizontal the words bleed off to left right so for me to proofread it I have to move my text left to right to proof read it
    Thank you

    The flash on a smartphone camera is tiny. It only lights up a very small area right in front of the camera. It won't light up the whole scene.
    Have you seen the size of the flash on a professional camera? Even they can't light a whole scene in the dark.
    Fact is, a smartphone camera is not capable of taking good photos in the dark, even with the flash.
    You'll need to buy and learn how to use a professional, dedicated SLR camera to be able to take good photos in the dark. It is not easy.

  • TS1702 why does my iphone 5s not display apps to my jvc car stereo, when the same apps work with my 4s?

    why does my iphone 5s not displaying apps on my jvc car stereo.  these apps worked with my iphone 4s?

    Blackberries were designed at a time when cellular data was very expensive. They don't do nearly as much as an iPhone, in part, to conserve data use. All modern smartphones will use more data than a Blackberry unless you do almost nothing.
    You do not need to quite apps. Almost no apps run in the background.
    Here are Apple's tips on iPhone battery use:

    If you are really only getting an hour of battery usage and not just engaging in hyperbole (), you should make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.

  • HT5868 why does my iphone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer?

    Why does my iPhone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer? I plug my iPhone 4s into the computer and every time I tell it to trust this computer, but a hour later if I plug in again, I have to say trust again... bug? Setting issue? Help?

    http://helpios7.com/trust-this-computer-pop-up-fix/
    This helped me. Fix #1 is something Apple doesn't ever suggest to you.
    My specific problem was somehow my Apple Mobile Device USB Driver got turned off and moved and maybe even uninstalled, but after hours of struggling, this site helped tremendously.
    Furthermore, I could connect my iPhone to my computer but not into iTunes. It would only let me go to access pictures on my iPhone and that's all.
    Best of luck to anyone trying to figure out their problem.
