Can iPhone ring when locked?

Yes it is Idris!!

It is 04.30 here in England and you Californians are probably not even in bed yet, let alone up early!!

Lawerence gave a good explanation that I have nothing to add to. Except to say I've been to California exactly twice in my life and the last time was about 15 years ago.

I also have nothing to add to Lawrence's explanation, and I agree that was very good.

I am a Californian, having moved there from the U.S. East Coast many years ago. And yes, late to bed and late to rise seems to align with my circadian clock.

Sorry Idris!

I believe it to be a name of Welsh derivation; at leas, I used to watch a TV programme called Ivor The Engine - a Welsh steam engine. When Jones the steam could not light his boiler Idris the dragon once obliged!

Anyway, back to the point, I was looking at the times people made their posts and was trying to guess where they were. Bit silly really. Election day today and by this time tomorrow we all might be wondering where we are in this country.

No worries. I was just joking around. Yes, I do believe "Idris" is Welsh. However, I am using it in honor of someone, who if not a native born Californian, lived there for much of their life. I just keep very weird hours.

This article is helpeful.

When you read through all the obvious, at the bottom of the article is a discussion about the audio jack, and what happens it gets moisture or damaged.

Your question confuses me.

The Settings > Do Not Disturb only affects the iPhone's behavior if you have Do Not Disturb turned on.

I assume you do not have Do Not Disuturb on. In that case, the iPhone will ring when locked regardless of the settings in the Do Not Disturb area.

Further, if the iPhone does not ring and Do Not Disturb is not an issue, you probably have the mute button set (on the left side of the iPhone), or have the ring volume turned way down. If you see red by the mute button, it is set and you need to move it so you hide the red.

I have the exact same problem. And it's infuriating that noone seems to believe that I know how to use the Do Not Disturb. This problem occurs regardless of whether it I have Do not Disturb on (manually, or scheduled) or COMPLETELY OFF. I've tried wiping the phone and reinstalling from a saved copy but of course the problem comes back because the problem is inherent in the save. As Johnonline 55 noted - there are two options under "Silence" at the bottom of the Do Not Disturb preferences. "Always" or "Only when iPhone is locked". Those are the only two options and I want neither. No amount of deselecting will work. It forces you to pick one.

Does anyone have a solution given that I've better explained the problem? Or Johnonline55 did you find a solution?

If DND is turned off, then the settings within do not apply. Check under Settings > Notification Center > Tap on Phone > Make sure Show on Lock Screen is ON (green side showing)

Please check Ring/Silent switch on the left of your iPhone.

I'm with CA001....

1) The DND IS FRIGGIN OFFFFFFFFFF

2) I'm not an idiot. The switch on the upper left is not showing red, not muted, not off, not making it no ringy-dingy

3) The phone rings when not locked

4) The phone doesn't ring when locked. Period.

5) It's not signal, this happens when I'm making sweet love to a cell tower.

6) I have inbound calls set to show on lock screen even.

I'm a Sprint network engineer, I know more about the network than you. It's the OS.

My thoughts...the DND is actually on when the phone is locked. Regardless of what it says.

Does anyone have anything new and relevant in regards to a fix or work around??

Don't tell me to look at DND (item #1 above), Don't tell me to check the mute switch (item #2 above)

Hope everyone appreciates my humor.

Sorry, I see no humor in your post.

I have an iPhone 5S on AT&T, Do Not Disturb is turned off both Manual and Scheduled. Silence has a checkmark by Always. When my phone is locked, the phone makes ringy-dingy, all day long, Period. This also happens with the other 4 iPhones I have in the family here.

I'm sorry that seems to put a little damper on your OS argument. I am not saying your phone is not ringing, but something else seems to be going on. Which version of the iPhone are you using?

Bet you're the life of the party

I'm on 7.1, one of my test 5s iPhones is on 7.0.6 and all settings set indentically to my 7.1 5s and it works flawlessly.

Now I've got a iPhone 5 test device that I pulled out of a drawer and just upgraded to 7.1. Same settings as the other devices. Guess what. Doesn't ring in lock after OS upgrade. Test call pre-upgrade worked three times consecutively.

2 x 7.1 devices = no ring on lock

1 x NOT 7.1 = rings every time

5 x 7.1 devices. ringy dingy
