SMS ringtone problem after ios5

Hello everyone


I've been facing a SMS ringtone problem since ios5. When i recieve a SMS or imessage, it rings sequential twice or even more. (Just like when you recieve two sms at the same time)


If I restart my iphone, this problem disappears for sometime. It comes a while after, though.


Is it a bug or something? It's really annoying.


Thx in advance

iPhone 4

Hey


No I didn't restore my device and I won't do it.


I guess it's something about an application which is running background. Once you start it, it causes this problem. Even if you close it, problem continues till restart. This is only a prediction, though.


I hope this problem won't damage my device. Because this problem makes the vibration system run unsteady. Additionaly, if you're listening to music when message's recieved, it makes the tune up and down wayward.


If you restore your device please let me know the result.

Solved.


I've restored my iphone and set it up as a new iphone. I haven't been facing this problem since restore. Do not forget to restore it "as a new iphone". Do not backup from old.


Some tips for "restoring as a new iphone"

-iCloud would be helpful while getting your apps.

-Saving your camera roll photos to the pc then mailing them and saving them back in iphone can make your photo album as the same before.

-There are some free apps that can help you to back your contacts up.

-Change your iPhone name after restore. Otherwise iTunes may automatically backup from old.


Good Luck.
