My iPhone does not ring when phoned. It vibrates, but does not ring. My sound is on. My airplane mode is off. My do not disturb is off. I don't know what else to do and I am missing calls because of it. Can anyone help please?
Try turning up the ringer volume?
My ring volume is full on.
Settings>Sound
Here you can set your ringer volume- independent of the outside volume buttons if you have
Change with Buttons OFF This requires you to move the slider to set your ringer volume.
What have you done troubleshooting?
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore
Follow the 3R's- if a restart does not solve your problem proceed
User troubleshooting is:
1.restart, ie power off/on,
2. reset http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430,
3. restore from backup, restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
I reset my iPhone and it still only vibrates. No ringtone. What else can I do?
For the "Doh" question...look at the mute button (above the volume buttons on the side of the iPhone). Do you see orange? If so, your ringer is muted, turn it off (no orange).
I would also try changing the ring tone. Who knows maybe the tone you're using is corrupted somehow.
I will do that as well. The reset did not work. I will now do a restore after I have saved my pictures on my computer first. I always find that difficult to do and therefore need some time to do that tomorrow. Thanks for your help so far.
this worked for my Iphone 4
Go to:
Settings
General
Accesability
Assistive touch - switch to on.
using the assistive touch (the white circle that now appears on your screen), go to:
Device
Then tap the bell (mute) icon.
This should fix the issue. To test it (without having to wait for someone to call you) write an SMS and see if the keyboard clicks are audible.
I hope this solves your issue like it did mine. If it doesn't maybe try tapping that mute icon again and/or flicking the actual mute bottom on the left hand side of your iPhone.
