I have a new Iphone 6. It does not ring when a text comes through unless I have it unlocked. It is set to ring in the sounds settings. Any idea on what could be wrong?

I would try open the settings app > Messages. Make sure "View in Lock Screen" is on and that alert style is set to an option other than none.

I had something similar to happen to mine. This is what I did to fix mine.

If your iPhone suddenly freezes or is just not working right, you can do a hard reset by following these simple instructions:

Press and hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
Hold both buttons until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.

Check to make sure your do not disturb feature is turned off. It's on if you'll have a little moon symbol at the top of your screen.

Thanks. I wondered what that moon was on the screen. I am not sure how it got activated.
