IPhone 4s isn't notifying me of texts?

It doesn't ring, doesn't have a notification on the message app, nothing. I have to literally go into my messages to see. Is there a reason why?
also battery life is horrible. Its fairly new, like less than a year old, and the battery dies within 4 hours of full charge.

Is your phones brightness all the way up? That kills your battery. Also double click your home button (the only button on the phone) a slide will pop up with all the apps you have open press and hold one and the red minus sign will show up click it. On all of them! That closes them, having all of them open kills battery. And as far as your messages you must have messed something up under notifications. Maybe you took the badges off.

Regarding the battery: if you leave the mobile data and/or the Wi-Fi on 24-7 and use it for calls, texts, internet, and data alot during the day, the battery goes down faster. Just a thought.

Now if you do use your internet and call/texting less and the phone still isn't holding a charge, go to an apple store and see if they can replace it for free. This shouldn't be an issue with a phone that's less than a year old. And since it's less than a year old, you may be under warranty still

Now regarding the text notifications, you may want to look at your settings. Go to messages and then click your menu button for text messaging settings. Turn notifications on and make sure it sends you an icon in the status bar as well. This should help

  • Why isn't my iphone 4 receiving texts? Both my boyfriend and other friends have told me that they've sent me numerous amounts of texts over the past two days but I haven't received any of them. They tried to call me and I received the phone calls perfectly, however, I also got my dad to text me to see if my phone was ok and his texts worked perfectly. Why wasn't I receiving other texts? I'm on O2
  • Why is my iPhone not notifying me as soon as I receive a message? I'm not good at explaining but what I mean is like sometimes I get a text and it says it's been received like 35 minutes ago but it's only just come through on my phone… Anyone know why or what I can do to stop it? It doesn't happen all the time but it's been happening quite a bit the past few days and I'm not sure why but it's annoying because people think I'm ignoring them or they worry!
  • Why does my iPhone sometimes send texts to other iPhones as iMessages then regular texts to iPhones? Like when I send a text to my friend that has an iphone, it usually sends as an iMessage then it will randomly send as just a regular text and it will be green and not blue.
  • Twitter App Not Notifying Me? I have the Twitter App for iPhone, when I first downloaded it (months ago) it would notify me. Now, it'll only notify me of retweets & mentions SOMETIMES. I have it set up to notify me of new followers, retweets & DM's but now it doesn't notify me of anything, I have to open the app to see everything. It's always running in the background. What's the issue?
