No notification sounds after iOS 7 update on iPhone 4

Same here after the update, but the notifications won't show unless I acces manually each application for the new messages. The phone calls won't ring too, I just see the missed calls. I receive also a message everytime I open applications that I need to connect to ITunes for push notifications. I did that and no remedy at all and the message still there ... Any solution , or do we have to wait for new update ???

I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE FIX FOR THIS! ... (Well it worked for me.)

I saw a post from an apple rep telling a iOS 6 user to turn the side switch on to un-mute the sounds. A no-brainier yes, but it made me wonder if the side switch may have been temporarily "confused" after updating to iOS 7 because it added the new settings screen that swipes up from the bottom of the screen. I was using my side-switch to lock the screen rotation and it was in the "off" (down) position (red visible) and none of my notifications were sounding. So I flipped it up and down a couple times which didn't solve the problem. So logically, I proceeded to what inevitably solved the problem...

Go to Settings > General / "Use Side Switch To" and select the opposite of what you are currently using. I had mine on Lock Rotation, so I selected Mute. Then flip your switch up and down slowly a couple of times to see that the confirmation on the screen is correct. You may have to go back to settings again and select the other choice if you originally had Mute selected, I don't know because I originally had Lock Rotation in use.

Hopefully, this will fix your notification sounds (and the lock sound when you press the power button). After using this fix, you can set the use of the side switch to your preference and still have all of your notification sounds!

Oh, you just solved my ipad mini issue of the same kind! Thanks :-)

Guys, for all who have iphone, the ios 7 does not have the option for ''Use side switch''

Try to open the ''Assistive touch'' General\accesibility\assistive touch and turn it on, u cn open it by pressing 3 times the home button. then at the device icon, press unmute icon.

This is the issue I am having, as well.

Here is what I am seeing...

When I get to the Assistive Touch screen, if it's in the 'off' position and I move it to the "on" position, a square that is somewhat translucent appears in the bottom right corner of my screen. I can re-position it to anywhere on the screen.

I guess I am not getting the connection between turning on Assistive Touch and "Use side switch to".

So for those of us with iPhones, what, specifically, are the steps to accomplish this?

u have to click on it, on that square, when u click there it will show u some options, 1 of them is ''device'' and then unmute\mute.

for me i realised that my mute\unmute button on my iphone, it was broken, and that is why i cant hear my notifications or call sound. hope you can find whats the best for your problem.

there is no "Use Side Switch To" option from Settings General on the latest IOS version on the iphone 4, how do we get to that setting?
