Why does the iPhone 4 alarm go off without any sound if sound is turned on.

Every once in a while the alarm ( original iPhone alarm) goes off, but makes no noise.  Why is this and how can I fix it? Being late to work isn't okay even if it's only every once in a while. Yes, I've checked the silent switch, yes I've checked the speaker volume.  No, I didn't turn off the alarm in my sleep because it is still on the screen when I wake up, saying, " ok" or "cancel" I think. That's how I know it's working, just not making sound. I've even set two alarms and I don't hear either one, but they're both on the screen when I wake up, but there's no sound.  It's not even vibrating.

What user troubleshooting have you done? They are restart, reset, restore from a backup, restore as a new device or not from a backup. Restart is power phone off/on, Reset is to use the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. One of those should put you back in business.

  • Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off while the screen is locked?

    Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off whlie in the lock screen?  This makes it impossible to track if stolen does it not?  Seems like an assinine concept!

    It does, but there's little we regular mortals can do about it. However, you now have something to contribute to Apple via the Feedback Link!

  • 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.

  • Why does the iphone 5 not sync the correct artwork to songs.

    Why does the iphone 5 not sync the correct artwork to songs. All the artwork is correct in the itunes 11 library, but when sync'd the iphone arbittary chooses what it wants

    My guess is you are using iTunes Match.
    iTunes Match is a great feature, but I suggest keeping it on only on your computer.  Turn iTunes Match off on your iPhone at Settings > Music > iTunes Match.  Then sync your iPhone and you should get all the artwork.  You may have to sync two or three times to get it all after turning off iTunes Match.

  • Why does the iPhone convert animated .GIF images?

    I saved a bunch of animated .GIF files on my iPhone.
    When I imported them onto my computer, they were all single framed .JPG files.
    Why does the iPhone convert the images, and is there any way to prevent this?
    Thanks!

    you can play gif in webView ,just the same way you load a jpeg or png..
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"santa" ofType:@"gif"];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
    /* Load the request. */
    [myWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
    the gif that is locally saved will be loaded.

  • Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?

    Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?

    "Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
    Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
    "is in the works?"
    This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
    Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:

    JajLvr, if it drives you crasy, then get a BT keyboard.

    Agreed.  Even the iPhone has multiple built-in keyboards to choose from.

  • 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.

  • Why does the snmpcoll process always start up even if SNMP Statistics Collection is turned off?

    Why does the snmpcoll process always start up even if SNMP
    Statistics Collection is turned off?
    <P>
    The SNMP Statistics Collection field on the Server Status|SNMP
    Subagent Configuration form affects only the SNMP subagent, which is a separate entity from
    the collector process (snmpcoll). Currently, snmpcoll does not look
    at the SNMP configuration data when it starts up. It is started by
    the dispatcher and terminates when the dispatcher terminates. Many
    of the statistics are supposed to reflect cumulative values recorded since MTA
    initialization, such as the total number of messages sent and received.
    As a convenience, the collector process collects information in the
    background even while the SNMP subagent is turned off; this way,
    the values are available when the SNMP subagent is configured and
    turned on.

    Collections fall off on the Date of First Deliquency 7-7.5 years later; that is supposed to be reported as the first time you went late (1-30 days) on the OC (original creditor) in the chain of events leading up to it's being farmed out for collection as I underestand it. DOFD though sometimes doesn't get reported right, and by default it will be the date the collection is added to the bureaus. As an example I have an awkward collection (not sure how I got it looking at the payment history thought I'd cancelled that account but TWC billing apparently didn't think so) which I went late on in 2009, but didn't get farmed out till late 2010.  The DOFD is 6/09 looking at it, and it's expected to come off according to the bureaus 6/16 as a result. Different negatives have their own rules though.

  • Why does the iphone 5 always display the wrong time

    why does the iphone 5 always display the wrong time

    I had similar problem. My iPhone was always about 3 minutes faster than the correct time here in the UK which I found to be very irritating. It just came to a head because here in the UK we have just changed from British Summer Time back to standard GMT. This actually worked automatically except that the iPhone time still showed it to be about 3 minutes faster than GMT. However I have now cured the problem (almost) by going to
         Settings/General/ Date & Time/ and then selected the "Set Automatically" button.
    The clock then immediately jumped back 3 minutes and now the iPhone time is only about 10 seconds slow which is good enough for me.

    Why does my iPhone 5 give random chimes?  I have all notifications, location services, etc., turned off. 

    I had the exact same problem with my iPhone 4. I would select the song I was wanting to play and it would load for a second, then simply shuffle to the next. It did this with almost my entire iPod. So, I synced it with my computer and it's copy of my music, and presto, my music played perfectly. So, I would reccomend trying that. Hope this helped!!
