IPhone :: 4s Doesn't Ring When Get A Text Or Other Notification?
May 27, 2012
My phone only makes noise when someone is calling, it doesn't play music out loud or ring when I get a text. It also has nothing to do with the mute switch on the side, I've flipped it on and off and nothing works.
My phone won't notify me of a text anymore. I haven't even had the phone for a week, and it's driving me insane. I've tried turning notifications on/off on Verizon Message+ (which is what I use for text), and I've tried changing the notification tone, too. For some reason, it still won't work. No notification light, no ring. I have to open my phone to see the number of missed texts next to the icon.
I have an iPhone 5s with OS version 7.1.2 (11D257). Recently I noticed that I was missing calls and text messages because the phone didn't ring or give the text alert. There is no vibration either. The phone is not in "do not disturb" mode and the manual sound switch on the side of the phone is turned on. It doesn't happen on every call or text, but the past few days it is more than 75% of them. I find myself checking the phone more often now that I'm aware of the problem. That was prompted by the fact that it has already caused a few problems with customers and employees who have returned my call to them within seconds only to have my phone go to voicemail and me not see their message for up to a half hour or so. I'm going to do an update right now just to be sure that I have the latest and greatest Apple patches.
I really love my new Verizon LG4 coming from a Samsung S3. It picks up signal clearly where I had complete drops on S3. However, one thing has really annoyed me and I need to find a way to live with this.
The ring sound and text notification sounds are either both ON or both OFF. I have to leave the ringer on for various reasons, but then I get the text notifications all night long. Various volume apps I downloaded did not separate out the sounds. This is a really bad idea to tie these together.
I have tried playing with Priority Interruptions, but can't quit seem to get the phone to ring and the texts to be silent.
just reporting an issue I have noticed with ICS on my Droid RAZR. If I have a text message conversation open and receive a new message from the same contact, the notification icon pops up, I'm properly notified, but then it won't clear without backing out of the conversation to the higher level text messaging section. I have had success a few times with tapping on the new message to clear the notification icon, but not all the time. This was not an issue I noticed with the previous version of Android.
My iPhone 4 does not ring when someone calls. I have checked volume and it is turned on. Left side button is up for ring sound. Volume buttons don't do any good. I updated my phone to IOS 5.1 but no difference.
My iphone doesn't ring when it's unlocked .. i have calls but the screen still black and when i slide to unlock the screen i found i had missed callsi have tried manythings but it doesn't work i put it in silent mode and i found my calls comes normaly and it works good but when i turn on ring mode it's back as it
Bought it for oncall person at work last weekend. Have it all set up but it won't make a sound when calls come in. It will vibrate and when I select the sound in settings, it works there. Is it defective or do I have something set incorrectly?
I have an iphone that doesn´t ring at all with the phone calls, just vibrates. I have done everything, form checking the soung a million times, to restarted it from itunes,and restarted withot icloud copy, and still doesn´t work. how to reach an apple support? the is no such thing as world warranty if you live in argentina as I do and online this is the only way to write something.
My iPhone 4 has suddenly stopped ringing when someone calls/texts. Its not on mute. When I press the volume buttons & the mute button noting happens - no display on the screen to show they are responding.
My son has some apps on my phone & there is no sound coming out of those either. But if I go into settings & change ringtone I can hear the different ring tones. Also if I plug in headphones I can listen to music.
I have been docking my phone into speakers lately & noticed that its vibrated a couple of times when I have done this.
I have turned it on & off several times, and taken out sim, to no avail.
Haven't tried resetting it, as wasn't sure if I would lose my contacts/music etc?
it doesn't always ring when I get a call. Yes, Airplane mode is off, the ringer is on. Take yesterday for instance, over a period of 5 hours, four calls didn't ring, 3 went to VoiceMail, one showed as a missed call, three other calls came through normally. During this entire time the phone was sitting on my desk, fully charged.
I have an iPhone 4s. when someone rings to my phone number, my phone doesn't ring display the call on my lock screen. After it's stopped ringing, the phone doesn't show me a missed call alert on my lock screen or in the phone app.
My mute is off, do not disturb is off, I haven't blocked anyone and my volume is on maximum but I still can't hear anything.Â
I have an iPhone 4s and lately it does not always ring for calls or texts. The ringer switch is turned on and volume is up. When I test it from my house phone it always works! It does received the calls and texts and records messages, but it doesn't alert me to them coming in. I am missing a lot of calls! What causes it - happens in the house and in the car - but not all the time.
My phone will vibrate but thats all. The buttons of the side won't work. When I click on ringtones they will play and songs will play out of my phone, but my phone won't ring when I get a call or text.
My iPhone 4 does not ring when I get an incoming call or text MSG. The in app sounds also do not work. They work only with the headset. Music plays and everything else is working fine. Tried restoring, blowing into the jock, pressing near the home button.
Out of a sudden, the ring notification has become very very very soft. Tried changing ring tones, restarted phone and checked all sound and notification settings to no avail. Volume of the ringtone is load when tested in the sound and notification setting menu.
I have a Xperia Z3 compact, all working well. but when i get a message the tone or sound only goes once, then stops,, is there a way to make it ring again at intervals ????? my old phone did this, so if i missed the sound the first time may hear it later,, so i didnt have to keep checking if i had any messages... have tried all the tones to see if easier to hear,, but they still only sound once,Â
I've noticed that when my HTC One is fully charged during the day, it plays my ringtone to notify that it is fully charged. How do i turn this off? Its not located in the sound settings!
my phone constantly is on vibrate. no incoming call ring tones or text message notifications. turned it on and off and no, it's not on the vibrate option
How do I configure the HS-300 to ring when my phone rings? I have the Curve 3G with OS 6.0. My last bluetooth headset (Motorola) rang when the phone rang.
My IPhone 5c stopped alerting me to text messages. I have gone into settings, went to sounds, scrolled down to messages & selected an alert tone. IPhone will only vibrate on texts, volume is turned up. It stopped ringing for phone calls too and will only vibrate.  It is super armored with an Otterbox and has not been dropped or broken.Â
I turned off vibrate. I have even went to Settings General and Reset the Phone totally.Â
Volume is turned up. Text and Ringtone for Calls was set in settings. It plays them fine when I choose them.Â
I have no more updates available for the phone   Update is current OS 7.1.2
About 6 weeks ago I went out, dropped my phone and the next day I noticed the ringer wasn't working. I pulled the battery after I had no idea what else to do and the ringtones/notifications worked again. However about every 5 or 6 days the same thing happens and I have to pull the battery. I also noticed that when I check the ringtone options whenever the ringtones fail the BB says "invalid ringtone, please choose anther ringtone"could it be that the loudspeaker is loose? It's not busted because it works most of the time and a battery pull seems to solve the issue.Just now I had to pull the battery again to get the ringtones sounding.
I've had my Motorola Electrify since the middle of November last year and didn't really notice it too much for atleast a couple months, but recently if I dont reboot my phone for more than 2 days, and sometimes sooner than that, it will stop playing any notification sounds and just now it didn't even play any ring sound at all when I just received a call. It vibrated, but didn't play any sound. This is getting frustrating. I have even factory reset my phone a few weeks ago because of other things, and it still hasn't fixed this issue. In fact it seems to be getting worse. At first it was SOME notification sounds after 4 or 5 days not rebooting, now its all notification AND ring sounds after just a couple days. I have the app "Tasker" installed and have sounds associated with some profiles, but don't really think thats the problem because its not just sounds associated with the app, its system events too, like receiving a call, etc.
