mine is just when i’m doing random things on my phone it’ll just switch on and off like 15 times and stop

I have been to the Apple store several times to have different iPhones with this same problem fixed. They told me I had no problem. This was so frustrating. Thanks for given me a solution.

My phone problem is automatically silent mode on and off, this problem is coming continues on and off so i can’t herrings incoming call please advise me

Just need to say that this was so helpful! It’s been driving me crazy why some calls ring and others don’t. For example, my doctor’s office called this morning and it never rang. So if I want it to ring when they call, I have to add them to contacts? I do have the “silence unknown callers” off.

Helpful video to find the "Silence Unknown Callers" switch. Thanks.

[mpignone]

just a suggestion I would first check the off button next to the off/on buttons. I spent an hour to figure that one out. LOL But you guys are great.
