i9500 loses ringtone after coming out of silent mode - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Maple vibrates instead of ring in Normal mode

Hi.
Here's the situation: I'm using 3VO rom build 2.00.
My phone works as it should when in Vibrate mode. When I change it to Normal mode, the vibrate icon in the top bar is still present. When I get a call or a message, the phone is still vibrating and it doesn't ring. I've tried to reset profiles to default, I've tried changing the ring type of a certain profile (its set to Ring, I've changed it to Ring and vibrate and then back, same situation).
I've tried switching on the vibrate mode with a key (on my model this means tab/#/vibrate key), and the vibrating icon is still there.
When my profile is set to Normal, I get a sound when i send a SMS.
What else can I tell you? Oh, I've also tried a reboot, same situation.
It worked fine for a month with this new rom, now it's not working... And it bothers me sometimes because I cannot hear when someone calls me, it's just vibrating (same with the Outdoor or Automatic mode).
So can someone please advise? I've used search on the forum and google and couldn't find a similar description of the problem.
Thank you so much in advance!
change ringtone sound to something other than vibrate
the default ringtone i believe was vibrate. change the ringtone to something else in the sound settings. if not reflash the rom works well for most everyone else.
soclean, you are my saviour!
Indeed, I had to change the "Ring tone" setting under Start/Settings/Sounds (it was set to Vibrate).
Thank you man.
no problem. happy to hear i was a help and it wasnt something else wrong with the phone.

Problem with latest CM 10.1 nightly

For some reason can't get the phone off silent. When someone rings it shows the call and vibrates but no ring tone despite a ring tone being chosen and the ring tone volume turned up. Also can't change the text notification sound in messaging settings. Anyone else having either of these problems?

Since Lollipop all my notifications are silent

Since my upgrade to Lollipop all my notifications are silent despite the fact that my sound setting is on, my notifications volume is 100%, my general Notification Melody is "On Time" and my Allow Interruptions setting is allow all the interruptions. My device, a SM-N910F, is NOT rooted.
I get all the notifications with no problem but they do not play any sound.
Any help would be very appreciated.

ringtone problems

Hi @ all.

When I use vibration mode or mute for a time I can't switch
Back to ringtone on.
I can't move the fader to regulate the loudness.
It stucks on the left side and nothing happen.
I must reboot my phone to fix it.
Someone has an idea why?
I use ringtones from zedge app. Maybe there is the problem?

No RINGTONE when caller connects

MI NOTE 7 Android 9
I am at risk of missing calls because there is no RINGTONE sound and I have checked everything I can think of without finding the cause. I get a notification of the call, flashing and vibration, but no sound. I have selected a ringtone which sounds when clicked. Volume is at max, silent mode is off. Everything seems to be as it should in settings, permissions, display over and so on.
Help with this would be gratefully be appreciated.
