Q: IPHONE 5S won't ring while charging

Hey there OwlLady50,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

If I understand correctly, there's an issue that's preventing your iPhone 5s ringing and it seems to occur while the device is charging. Try taking a look at the article linked below and ensuring that the Do Not Disturb settings are configured appropriately.

If that doesn't take care of it, try restarting your iPhone as described here:

So long.
