My Bell Tab is running on the euro firmware and is working on the telus network as a phone but the ringtone setting is stuck in silent mode?
I have no other options when trying to select a ringtone in the sound setting?
Anyone else had this problem?
Thanks

All i had to do was download a ringtone

Same here, No ringtones when receiving a call, no vibration either, its driving me crazy, all I do is just install bunch of basic applications on the Stock firmware, no Roms, no hacks, and of course I know where I can set volume level, and tone type.
I restore factory settings 3 times a day, and spend 3 hours installing everything again. Each time I reduce the amount of appz that I install, but still in vain.
Where the hell the SGT Official website that I can download firmware upgrades from?
I had that problem once, no ringtones while receiving incoming call. Not sure what caused it. But I restored factory settings and it gets back to normal again.

Hopefully someone here can help me. I have the new T-Mobile MDA and I leave it on all the time. When I pick it up in the morning, the phone has no sound coming out of it. Toggling the volume up, down, off, vibrate, anything.... doesn't make a difference.
If someone calls me when my phone is in this mode, it only vibrates and my ringtones don't play either. The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone. I'm not sure if this happens due to leaving the phone on while charging or from leaving the phone on for more than 24-hours at a time.
Any help you guys could provide would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Sounds an unusual problem - which ring tone are you using? and are you using any profile program and which today plugins have you got installed?
3 things you could do -
1. disable any added plugins\profiles,
2. use default windows ringtone,
3. if all else fails - hard reset and see if this still occurs without any added programs - if it does prob hardware problem and you will need to return to supplier,
Hi all,
I have noticed that my Galaxy S4 i9500 "loses" the ringtone settings after I bring it out of Silent or Vibrate mode. The notification bar will show that sound is "On", but the phone will not ring when there is an incoming call. When I check the sound settings, the ringtone will be "Silent". Everything will be ok for a few days after I manually set the ringtone again. And the problem comes back after a few days.
Happened on Android 4.2.2 and 4.3, so not sure if it is a OS issue. Btw, I am using my own ringtone in AAC format. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
As the title says, when somebody calls me on one of my sip numbers and I'm on wifi I need to put the phone on speaker a number of times before I can start hearing anything from the call. After that it works but it might lose audio again at some later point and cycling the speaker setting brings it back.
I haven't noticed this before 4.4.2 and I can't reproduce it while on 3G. Any ideas?
Actually phone also directly drops the call or even reboots from time to time while doing this. Cool software, bro.
As a late update - I followed Samsung support's advice and reset the phone to factory defaults (from recovery) - then only installed a minimal set of programs and modified a minimal set of options. Receiving sip calls is still buggy or causing the phone to reboot.
So I have a Galaxy S5 with Android 5.0 Lollipop (OTA update came a week ago).
I need to keep the phone completely silenced during the night except for the alarm which has to wake me up in the morning. While the phone was running Android 4.4 I used the Blocking mode which I could set to affect incoming calls and notifications but not the alarms.
Now that Android 5 is there and TouchWiz has been updated, there is no Blocking mode anymore. I can choose to allow priority interruptions only or no interruptions at all. If I select no interruptions, the alarm doesn't sound at all.
If I select priority interruptions and check only 'Events and reminders' I kinda get what I need, but not quite. Incoming calls, SMS, WhatsApp and Facebook are muted and the alarms sound just like they should. However, Viber and Skype do not get muted. This means that I should manually sign out of skype and/or kill it in order to have peace from the app.
So what should I do? I want to easily silence the phone and keep everything muted except for the alarms. I want to do this quickly - with one touch. Going into priority notifications mode and then manually signing out of apps is no way to go.
Any help would be appreciated
Bump for this, searching for solution....

My fiance's GS5 upgraded last night and her alarm never went off this morning... I woke her up and told her - she saw her phone's alarm going off on the screen with no sound. She didn't change any of her alarm settings before/after upgrading so this is a FAIL on Samsung's end in my opinion.
I realise that this is a lollipop feature, but I believe that Nexus ROMs let you pick which applications are priority (to disable Skype notifications, for example), which doesn't seem possible on the S5.
HTC seem to have kept their silent profile for the M8 lollipop update - lucky them!

Select priority interruptions and turn off data/internet. There's a toggle for that in the notification panel.
Or better yet, put phone in airplane mode with blocking mode off. That's what I do.
Airplane mode seems like the easiest solution for your problem.
Use the Do Not Disturb app. Perfect replacement for Blocking Mode.
If you disable "Events and reminders", does it do what you want? You still get alarms with that unticked.

No, with that unticked I do not get any alarms.
Airplane mode is a possible workaround, but not perfect, because the risk of forgetting to switch back to normal mode is high. Furthermore, I enjoy reading my missed notification first thing in the morning... Going to give that do not disturb app a go
Long story short, this is a major fail for the new firmware. I don't know if it is a Lollipop issue or a less than perfect Touch Wiz implementation of the new Lillipop notifications concept...

That's strange, I still get alarms. There's even a message at the bottom of the interruptions page that says alarms are always considered priority.
I also still get all the notifications, just no sounds for them (I run in priority mode most of the day), so I can still catch up on notifications.
I'm running version BNL9 but not sure if that makes a difference.

Huh, I guess you could forget however I don't see how since there's an airplane icon instead of the signal bars.
Has the problem been fixed on Android M?
Hey all--
I've been unsuccessfully trying to troubleshoot this for a week or two to no avail, so I thought I'd reach out.
My phone ringtone no longer plays when I receive phone calls. Volume is up, no DoNotDisturb or silence settings on, and EVERY OTHER SOUND works just fine (e.g. app notifications, music/video, etc). If I go to my ringtone settings and try to select ANY option, NO audio plays for anything. However, I DO hear audio when trying to choose a new notification sound. Just nothing on the ringtone.
I acknowledge it may be due to some app I've installed recently, but I can't seem to trace it back to any one in particular. Next step is a full reset, which I'd prefer not to do... Anyone experienced this?

I've dealt with a few ringtone-related issues in the past, but not a prolonged one like you are describing.
Try this:
1. Clear all recent (open) Apps using the recent Apps button.
2. reboot: turn your phone off, and back on
3. do the Apps drawer>Device Help>Fix>Hardware Test>Speaker Test (even if you hear it, answer " no" and leave it marked as if the hardware test failed, continue to operate your phone full-time with this marked as fail)
4. Go to select your ringtone, tap once on desired ringtone and give it about 3 seconds, then tap a second time on same ringtone and it should play at normal volume. Press ok. ringtone should be working...If not, reboot phone and try #3. speaker test again.
DUDE. I don't really understand how, but that totally worked (first time on step 4, too)! You are a scholar and a gentleman, and I send you many real (and one digital) thanks. ???
