Why wont my Iphone5 make any sounds (ringer/text alert/mail recieved) when connected to anything by bluetooth?

I have had my Iphone for about a week, I love it for almost everything.
From what I see the bluetooth part of the phone is worthless. I have tried to use the bluetooth for hands free calls when in the car, it works for making calls, siri works great to make the calls also. But when the phone rings the phone does not make any sound, when recieve any text message or email message there is no sounds.
Why is this, I see alot of discussion online, but when calling Apple they "have never heard of it"
How do I make it work?

The text and email notifications worked on my old 4S with the Hands Free Link in my 2013 Honda Pilot, but the new 5S does not in the same car. It vibrates when a text arrives, but no sound.

    My ipad won't make any sound, i have tried to reset it but still nothing, any suggestions?

    Reset all settings: Choose Settings > General > Reset, then tap Reset All Settings. All your preferences and settings are reset. Information, such as your contacts and calendars, and media, such as your songs and videos, aren’t deleted.

  • My iPhone 4s will not make any sound! & Siri gone!

    My iPhone will not make any sound. No ringers, alerts, or even music from my library! I did a reset of all settings thinking it would fix the problem, however all that did was lose my Siri! Very frustrated. All the settings in my phone are correct, and the side button is in the up position. I am able to talk on the phone with no problems, but my speaker phone will not work. Its almost as if my speaker wont make noise?
    Not sure if anyone else has had this problem? If so how did you fix it?!

  • Why can't I make any calls on facetime, the call drops after saying connecting.

    Why can't I make any calls on facetime, the call drops after saying connecting for a few seconds. I'm using an iphone 5, 32 GB on IOS 6.0.1 over 3G network in Muscat, Oman. Just to be clear, I was able to make facetime call in Muscat about a week ago.

    If this user to user forum could not help you with your issue, contact Apple to get your Device serviced or looked at.

    It's been a problem for some time now.  You can drag a photo from the open iPhoto window into the Contact photo bin, i.e. window to window.

  • Why can't I get any sound to come from my phone unless I put it on speaker phone?

    Why can't I get any sound to come from my phone unless I put it on speaker?

    Do you still have the original plastic shipping cover on the face of the iPhone?  Or any kind of screen protector that covers the speaker ear hole.  That will block the sound.
    My wife experienced this.
    Also if you still have the shipping plastic on the back, it will cause the camera flash to spill back into the camera lense spoiling your pictures.

  • My iPad will not make any sound whatsoever. I reset it to factory settings and still no sound. Help

    My iPad will not make any sound whatsoever. I reset it to factory settings and still no sound. Help

    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

    Check the Mute switch, which is on the left side of the phone above the volume buttons.

  • Why can't I make comments and highlight text in a document?

    Why can't I make comments and highlight text in a document?

    Nothing happens. I can select the text but when I go to “highlight” it the button is grayed out and nothing happens. Is there some sort of code that prevents certain publications from having portions of their text highlighted?

  • Bluetooth mode prevents notification sounds for all items (Text, Alerts, Mail, etc.), except the phone ringer?

    It seems that the use of the iPhone 4 Bluetooth to a phone headset (In this case a hearing aid 'streamer') prevents all other phone option sounds (Text, Alerts, mail, etc.) from working. Is it normal that there is a conflict between the iPhone 4 Bluetooth use and other phone item sound notifications?

    No, iOS does not offer that option. You can offer Apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
