Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, test it again. Arre you turning it on from Settings, or do you have a schedule turned on in Notifications? For Allowed calls, is it from just your Favorites, or have you tried setting it to none?

Jul 31, 2013 9:22 AM in response to ChrisJ4203by marcom0029,yes I've factory reset it a couple times and I do the soft reset often just to keep it running smooth. I work with cell phones so I've compared the same steps with other phones and mine is the only one that doesn't work. I have tried it with both scheduled and manually turned on. should I take it to apple store?

Jul 31, 2013 10:28 AM in response to marcom0029by ChrisJ4203,Well, I'm not sure what you are referring to when you mention a factory reset versus a soft reset. There are only 4 user troubleshooting steps. Restart, which is powering the phone off/on. A reset which is holding the sleep/wake and home buttons as I described to you earlier, a restore from backup, which is conducted in iTunes, where you select restore from backup, and finally a restore as a new device, which is also done in iTunes by selecting the Restore button.
If you think that a factory reset is a restore, and you have conducted both a restore from backup and a restore as new, then yes, I suggest making an appointment at the Apple store and taking the device in to have it checked. They will ask you if you have done both restores, as there could be a corrupt file in the backup, so make sure you try a restore as new. This will delete all data from your device, so make sure you have everything backed up and synced.
