My phone won't ring when locked. Can this be changed? Settings/ Do Not Disturb only gives me two choices under the "Silence" heading: "Always", or "Only while iPhone is locked". I am unable to remove it. Is it possible to elect neither?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

This seems to be a bug of the silence button. After you turn it off and turn it back on (red hidden), you would have to
go to settings and unlock the sound as following:
settings--> sound-->lock sound
turn it off, and then turn it on.
The sound will come back.
I missed a month of my incoming calls before I finally figure out the problem.
All that setting does is turn on or off the sound the button makes when you lock or unlock the phone. It has nothing to do with Do Not Disturb, ringtones or any other sound. While it's great that your phone is now working properly, that's most likely not the reason.
Thank you. You nailed it. Grandchildren play with phone and must have pushed on mute button.
When I turned off Touch ID, mine began to ring.
Sorry but the MUTE switch in Accessibility is WHITE. You cannot see the red MUTE switch unless you are actually in a phone call.
Sorry but I would never use DND... and hadn't put it on.
PS - I've been fixing hardware on Apple products for years... there needs to be a NEVER button in addition to When Locked, and Always.
It clicked with your answer thanks. When you said the above question was confusing, if the phone is on "Do Not Disturb"... I was able to go in and change my "Do Not Disturb" feature. Thanks again.
Did you find a solution? I have the same pr
Well, good luck!
.. I am also wondering if it is a signal issue relating to distance form the nearest mast????

It certainly could be.
define "locked"
It's been defined multiple times in this 7 page thread, in the 3 1/2 years since the post you just responded to.
I am on page 6 or 7 of answers - my husband has a 4s not many updates. And no rings lock or no lock. Your answer worked for us. Thank you for posting. Glad you thought of it.
Merci

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All iPhones (even a 6S) will ring when locked, unless your phone is broken. Use the Contact Support link at the top of this page to arrange for Apple to evaluate the problem with your phone.
Can iPhone ring when locked?
