How do you not silence the phone when it is locked. I settings/do not disturb, the only choices for silence: "always" or "only while iphone is locked". How do you keep the silent feature off when the phone is locked. I can not hear the ring....
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.3, new phone,,,, can't hear the ring
I had a same "problem" and after looking at every setting possible realised that my silent / mute switch was on !!!
There is work around if you have DND OFF and button on iPhone is set to on and volume is ok..
Go to settings>General>Accessability>Assistive Touch turn button to green..
Then a transparent button will appear on the screen. It can be moved anywhere but must remain on screen. Touch it and then touch device. Then touch mute.. the bell with line through it is what you want.. counter intuitive but it will now work without have to worry about those other “silence when locked or always” settings..
Phone will ring when it is locked or unlocked.. worked for me..

That's not a "workaround". It's correctly configuring the settings.
Sorry, I'm confused. If you want the phone to ring, just turn off do not disturb.
Phone on phone is on silnce
Thanks for trying but that's not it. Even under accessibility/assistive touch, I have to keep unmuting there because it reverts to mute when phone is black.
Thank you. Works like it should.
The number of people here asking this question would indicate that you sir are the one struggling to read.
There seems to be a bug that keeps the ring muted even when Do Not Disturb is turned off.
What part of:
AN IPHONE WILL RING WHEN LOCKED. IF YOURS DOES NOT THEN IT IS BROKEN. Contact Apple Support (the link is at the top of this page) and make a genius bar appointment.
don't you understand?
Well why doesn’t someone tell these snicks who keep telling everyone it is DND and making out to be idiots.. Jesus!
And if your being a smart *** ... lll wait!
How do I turn off the silence ? ( I do not want either always nor only while iPhone is locked).
