Could an app prevent iPhone from ringing?
Thanks for this info. I've been having the same problem and wondered what was going wrong, but I have noticed that even when I've been on wifi (this happened the other day when I was in my office using our wifi and the phone was sitting in front of me even), I've not heard the phone ring and one time when the phone was in my pocket, easily hearable (not in a crowded place and my ringtones are loud -- I have the volume up all the way because I was worried I wasn't "hearing" it ring), I wasn't on it using edge and I still didn't hear it ring, but I heard the alert sound that I had voicemail.
I have a lot of apps, could one of them be accessing in the background whether on edge or wifi? Has anyone heard of this? I realize I might be reaching, but I know I'm not going deaf (I don't think so anyway) and I'm worried I'll miss an important call that needs me to hear it and answer it.
One other piece of info, when I'm on our office wifi, it's supposed to time out after 15 minutes of being idle and you have to log in again. My colleague has this happen to him on his iPhone which is normal, but I never get kicked off, almost like I'm never idle, but I haven't used the phone for lengths of time so it should perceive to be idle. Could there be an app that is constantly accessing using the wifi?
Just wondering. Thanks for your patience.
