Why isn't my iPhone 5 ringing?

Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't? I've reset it a couple of time already.
Same goes for the ding when I have a message. Sometimes it dings and sometimes it doesn't?
What the heck is going on?

I have a Samsung phone that does the same thing. Do you leave your phone on all the time or power it down at night? I leave mine on, but plug it in at night so I shut it off every couple days and this helps some. My alerts for email and messages don't work all the time still, but it has helped.

  • Why isn't my iPhone ringing? I just got an iPad mini and I synced my iMessages onto it. Well now when I get a txt my iPad rings instead of my phone. But when my phone gets a txt from a non apple phone and I get a normal txt message instead of an iMessage, neither my iPad or my iPhone rings.
