Iphone no display no ringing

IPhone 4 fully charged was working and next minute no display no sound no ringing, can't power off or on, can't determine if on or off but when someone calls it it seems to ring from their end and goes to voicemail about 30secs later. Attempted power button and screen button depress for 1 minute but to no avail.

Open the battery and see if the wires are disconnected. Otherwise, take it in to your phone service people and have them check it.

SOURCE: iphone wont ring

Did you check to make sure that the "mute" switch on the left side of the iPhone is turned off (if you see an orange dot, it means mute is turned on). It may not be vibrating either because in main Settings - Sound - you haven't turned on "Vibrate" when on Mute.

I thought my iPhone was broken until someone pointed out this to me.

SOURCE: phone won't ring in sleep mode

I had the same problem with my iPhone the only way I was able to fix it was to re-flashed the latest 2.2 firmware. Power phone off, power on by holding power and home at same time, hold power for ten seconds and then release still holding home key for another 30 seconds to put phone in DFU mode. Then plug into iTunes it will detect phone in recovery mode and allow you to re-image

SOURCE: A few iphone problems

Pls read this solution COMPLETELY "BEFORE" making attempt to fix the VVM.

If you have jailbreak or download a new profile or via MobileConfigs for internet tethering, there is a good chance the VVM will break also.

2 possibilities of faults:

1. Carrier

Call your carrier, tell them you are having issue with the VVM (iPhone virtual voice mail), try to convince the carrier that the problem is with the provision database, which contains your VVM profile records somehow are corrupted and needs to be "removed" and "re-provisioned" or "re-created". This is a quick fix by level one support person to do within his power for the first attempt to fix your VVM with the pre-condition that you have not mess around with jailbreak and other hacking activities.

2. Apple

If the above carrier method fix did not work, most likely you need to head back to the Apple store to have a Apple tech to help you. If you go back to the carrier store, most likely, they will tell you it is a "known" problem for the iPhone. In any event, you have a better chance with a face to face time with Apple then the carrier folks, unless, you have a "real friend" in the carrier store.

Before you head to the Apple store and if you think you are savvy enough, you should have already tried to reset the iPhone in a number of ways:

a. iPhone --> Settings --> General --> Network --> Reset Network Settings

b. factory reset

c. reload current firmware version

d. change and re-initiate voice mail password using (http://www.wireless.att.com/support/knowledgeBase.do?content=KB81229.html)

4. Last Resort

a. goto your itune store on the iphone, search for "youmail" app to download and try, it is free.

b. exchange your iPhone with new iPhone from where you bought it from.

SOURCE: phone won't ring

Ok we have 2, and have had them for 3 years, so here is what it has to be unless its really broken. In the "settings" menu ther is a section for sounds, you can shut off any sound on that phone, the keys the on and off, anything. Look at the ring tone you have selected and see if it's on none, or if you hit the "airplane" button by mistake, that's the only two things it can be, otherwis go on itunes and back up your phone and do a restore. The update the firmware to the latest one, and restore your "stuff", if it still doesn't work, I hope it's still on warantee, because apple charges for everything once it off. I am really sick of their policys, and will be getting the new EVO now that we are off contract. They really nickle and dime you to death, and now your phone is obsolete every year with the 4th version coming out next month. It makes people feel like they were taken advantage of to come out with a new phone a month after they paid up for the current one, good luck

Iphone 4 will not ring only vibrate

The only way to change an iphone from silent to ringing is a physical switch on the left side of the phone. When you see red/orange next to this switch it means the phone is on vibrate. If it is just silver it means the phone is suppose to ring.
If the switch is set to ringing, and it still wont ring, try going into the "Settings" app and checking out the volume settings. So get to these, go to "Sounds" within the "Settings" app. The ringer's volume is displayed there, as well as whether it vibrates, and what tone is used. Make sure the volume is high enough to hear and that everything looks correct.
If your iphone still wont ring, I suggest restarting the phone. To do this, press down the button on the top right side of the phone until it says "slide to power off". Let it sit about 15 seconds after it shuts down, and then press the same top right button to start it up again.

Iphone 3g proper charging

Once you purchase the iphone,dont use it yet.Instead of using it right away,kindly charge your IPhone with the wall charger for 3 hrs.Please dont use the Iphone while charging.Kindly check always if the battery is full.Once its fully charged then that's the time that you can use the iPhone. Once fully charged, let the iPhone's battery fully drain.Please keep the iPhone off for 2 hours.Fully charge your iPhone and allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for two hours. (You may use your iPhone during this time as long as the iPhone is plugged in).Repeat the third and fourth step a maximum of three times if you feel your battery indicator is inaccurate.

Here are some tips for your everyday charging for your IPhone:
#1 - Charge your iPhone throughout the day when available. Charge EVERY night, regardless of charge level. This will keep your battery active, which is healthy for the iPhone's battery.
#2 - Use a wall charger or car charger w/ rated output 5V 1A. Computer chargers might not charge when the computer is in standby mode.
#3 - You cannot overcharge your iPhone. You don't need to disconnect the iPhone from the charger after it's done charging. Once fully charged, the iPhone will run strictly off of AC power and will not damage the battery.
#4 - Every two months, make sure you fully charge and fully drain the battery, in one cycle. This calibrates your battery indicator. If you fail to do this, your indicator will become inaccurate. Calibrating your battery does not improve battery life.
#5 - If you ever need to store your iPhone for any reason, make sure your battery is stored @ roughly 50% and in a cool environment.
#6 - Always charge your iPhone out of its case (assuming you can easily remove the case). Charging your iPhone inside your case will make the iPhone hotter, which is bad for the battery.
#7 - Charge your iPhone in a cool location. Charging your iPhone in a cool environment has a tremendous impact on your battery's lifespan. The colder the location you use to charge, the more charging cycles you can complete without your battery deteriorating. Avoid charging in direct sunlight.
#8 - Use properly rated chargers. Using chargers that are not properly rated will have a huge impact on your battery's lifespan. Make sure your car charger has the same rating as the official Apple charger.
The official Apple wall charger is rated as follows:
Input: 100 240V ~ 50/60 Hz 1.0A
Output: 5V 1A
Thanks!

Cect p168C will not power on

  1. Turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
  2. If that doesn't work, connect it to the iPhone charger and let it charge for at least 10 minutes. Note: iPhone 3G does not support FireWire and will not charge from any FireWire-based power source.
  3. If that doesn't work, toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image. (see "Display has no backlight or dark screen" below for further troubleshooting.)
  4. While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears. If the battery symbol appears, continue to charge iPhone until it is fully charged.

İPhone not ringing

you can actually move the button , on the top left hand side of your iphone, over the ringer volume, you will see a red or orange dot, this means the switch has you iphone in silent mode, I was stuck on this, until I found it is a actual switch, look at it closely, you can move it. So where you see the red dot, put your finger on it and move it the opposite way, and I do not mean press the button, I mean, flip the switch on it, then your phone will not be in silent mode anymore,,, this was very annoying, I hope it helps anyone that has the same problem.
cheers!
