iPhone 5 iOS7 no sound only vibrates when ringing?

Here is what I tried...

  1. Do Not Disturb is off
  2. In Settings -> Sounds, Vibrate on Ring is off and Vibrate on Silent is off
  3. The switch on the side is set to silver not red.
  4. The music will play over the headphones and over the speaker.
  5. The keyboard click sound will play over the headphones and over the speaker.
  6. I looked in Settings -> Accessibility and there doesn't seem to be anything in there (however whenever I got the phone the zoom was turned on)

I don't know what else there is to try, but it doesn't play the ring tone when the phone rings.


moving mine in and of the holster moved the ringer button to the off position accidently. Glad it was something that simple....but sure stumped me for a while. the ringer button is the one above the volume buttons on the left side


I believe this is fixed in the latest iOS 7 update.


I had the same problem with my iphone 6 plus Im on ios 8.3. My phone would only vibrate no ringtone. My fix: Toggle the ringer button on the left side of my phone OFF and ON.

Additional settings (if it would help you):

Settings>Do Not Disturb> Manual (Off) Scheduled (Off) Allow Calls From (Everyone) Repeated Calls (On)

SILENCE>

Only while iPhone is locked (check)

Settings> Sounds> Vibrate on Ting (on) Vibrate on Silent (on)

RINGER AND ALERTS (set in the middle)

Change with Buttons (on)

SOUNDS AND VIBRATION PATTERNS Ringtone (summit) Text Tone (hello) New Voicemail (Tri-tone) New Mail (Ripples) Sent Mail (Popcorn) Tweet (keys) Facebook Post (swish) Calendar Alerts ( Hello) Reminder Alerts (Chord) AirDrop (pulse)

Hope this helps anyone.
