My iphone won't ring, help newbie.

**panda** · 05-05-2009, 08:40 PM

One hour ago, I noticed that my iPhone does not ring when a call comes in though it will vibrate if I set the vibrate to "on". My iphone never had a problem before. It is definitely not set to silent. Is there anyone tell me how to do it? Many thanks!

Have you tried a reset?

Try-

Settings >Sounds > Then there should be a bar under vibrate, slide that all the way right and hopefully your fixed

It happened to me also. Try the hard button/switch on the side of the top of your iphone. It can be switched to transfer your calls to voicemail auto. It should not all the way to the left. This button/switch is convenient when you want not answer a call right away but send it to voicemail.

If the side switch on your phone has a red dot it is on silent

try holding the power button and the home key at the same time and have it reset the phone if that doesnt work try backup restoring the phone on itunes see if that works... when all else fails make an appointment with the apple store

I couldn't figure out why that button with the red dot next to it didn't do anything.

Thanks to Bergen, I now know that it doesn't push, it slides.

I have no red dot now, and my iPhone 4s rings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again Bergen.

This happen to my iPhone 4. It did not vibrate or ring.
If you select Vibrate and the bell with the line across dose not appear you have a bad silent button.
I ordered the button from e bay.
Its hard to replace to I would take it to a shop to replace.
Again if your I phone dose not ring or vibrate replace the silent selector switch.
