Why am i not getting a text alert on my iphone?
For about a week or two my phone has been acting up at random times. Sometimes i won't get text alerts or email alerts even though the sound is completely up, and when i try to turn the volume up with the buttons on the side of the phone it doesn't show me my display on the screen that tells you how high the volume is… And when i try to listen to music the song will play but i doesn't give me an option to adjust the volume. Also, when i go to itunes to buy a song, it won't let me listen to the preview, this doesn't happen all the time, it comes and goes, but i'm really getting tired of it because i need to know when i get a text or email because it might be important… I have no clue how to fix this, i've tried turning me phone off and on but that doesn't fix anything and i don't want to restore my iphone because i don't want to lose anything on my phone… I need help.
Help IS HERE!
That first poster is NOT giving you the whole story. If you have liquid damage to the device, even if it's been months since it happened or you didn't even know it happened, it WILL be more than $50 unless you bought Apple Care + with your phone. Read on for the FULL details on how to resolve your situation…
This could be software or hardware. Although this issue is almost always hardware, it's to your benefit to try fixing the software first. If the regular volume sliders are missing there may be a software issue you can solve through something called a DFU restore.
The iPhone uses a lot of software to make it run normally. Sometimes weird things happen and it stops running like it should. The DFU restore is designed to remove every bit of information off the phone and then piece by piece, rebuild your phones software. Because everything is about to be removed from your phone, you NEED to back it up to iTunes or iCloud before attempting anything.
Here is an Apple page that describes the procedure. Https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5269891 When you're done, your phone will begin to activate again like it was new out of the box. You want to select "RESTORE FROM BACKUP". This option allows you to select that backup you just made and the information saved in the backup will now be restored to your iphone.
If the software fix doesn't work, the button or other hardware inside the device is broken. You will require a skilled technician to resolve this issue for you. Take it to an Apple Store, or send it in if you have Apple Care or Apple Care +. If older than 2 years the phone will not be covered by Apple warranty of any kind and a paid repair will be required. This is usually under $200, though it entirely depends on the issue with your phone. Any physical or liquid damage present on the device will void regular warranty and is only partially covered by Apple Care +.
I hope this helps, good luck with fixing your phone.

- Why won't my Iphone alert me when i get a text? My phone, iphone 4s, always used to show me a banner whenever i get a text. It just randomly stopped.
