iPhone X Not Ringing? Fix The Problem For Good!

Did you know you can set the ringer volume to a different level than all the other sounds on your iPhone X? It’s true!

So, even though it may appear like you’re turning up the volume for all the sounds on your iPhone X, the ringer volume may be stuck at a very low level.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap on Sounds & Haptics.
3. Drag the slider under Ringer And Alerts all the way to the right to turn up the ringer volume all the way.

The Ring/Silent switch is used to quickly and easily turn your ringer on and off. If your switch is flipped to silent, your iPhone won’t ring.

1. Take a look at your Ring/Silent switch, which is located on the left side of your iPhone.
2. You’ll know the your iPhone is on silent when you see a small, orange line because switch is pulled away from the screen.
3. To turn your ringer on, pull the switch towards the screen.

Apple repairs iPhones at the Genius Bar in Apple Stores and through their online mail-in repair service. Apple repairs are high-quality, but out-of-warranty repairs can be much more expensive than third-party solutions. If you’re looking to save some money you’re not covered by Apple’s warranty, you may want to check out our other recommendations.

How To Repair Your iPhone With Apple’s Mail-In Service

1. Visit Apple’s support website to begin the online mail-in repair process.
2. Alternatively, call 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) to set up a repair.

How To Repair Your iPhone At The Genius Bar Inside Your Local Apple Store

1. Visit Apple’s website to make a Genius Bar appointment before you go into the store. Apple Stores are extremely busy, and if you don’t have an appointment, you may have to wait for hours or end up being turned away. (Editor’s note: I’m a former Apple tech and we’re not exaggerating — please, do yourself a favor and make an appointment first!)
2. When you arrive, go to the Genius Bar to check in for your appointment.
3. Genius Bar appointments always include free diagnosis. If you’re under warranty, many repairs can be done on the spot, but it all depends upon which parts are in stock. If you’re not under warranty, the Genius will give you a quote for the cost of a repair.
