    same problem of phone sometimes not ringing. I can watch the missed call show up on the screen. Text notification sound always works without a problem. The clock quite often goes goofy randomly displaying times and our or 2 early or late. Have done several hard resets and a few soft resets, but same problems. Really lousy phone but makes a good PDA

    I have a less than 30 day HTC Touch and would like to know if I have major problem. Occasionally, my Touch won't ring when someone calls. Whenever I keep it on Vibrate mode in office and than into Normal mode while out, It remains silent and I am unable to know the incoming call.

    Is there a known issue or feature that I need to be aware of? Can I replace the phone? I am traveling out of india, I need solution immediately.

My phone is not ringing out from handset, when using a bluetooth I can hear it ringing through the bluetooth only.
when I go in to Ringtone & Notifications and set it to max, the setting reverts back, why is this?

Hi friends! even i am owner of one HTC Touch mobile facing the same problem that whenever someone was ringing me he was getting ring on his mobile but my mobile did not even respond. Initially i tried all, i contacted my network subscriber, i.e AIRTEL, they said that my SIM card is old so i should get it changed. I got a new SIM with same number but things did not resolve. People started thinking that i am deliberately not lifting calls. So, i quit using HTC TOUCH and brought a new cheap Nokia mobile. For months, my HTC Touch was like a paper weight on my desk till finally i thought to make it work again. This time i changed the Network and brought Vodafone post-paid connection. Since none knew my new number so, problem of incoming call could not be evaluated but i found one new blunder in mobile. HTC Touch only recognises HUTCH and not VODAFONE. This problem came when i tried to set GPRS connection. I was given MANUAL setting by the customer care which never worked. I really got pissed off and thought why i brought this mobile. Finally i went back to shop where i purchased this, who ultimately directed me to HTC Authorised service centre. When i reached there, engineer immediately recognised the problem and told me that
1.) Some pre-paid mobiles like AIRTEL have low frequency and sometime difficult for handset to pick it up. 2) In HTC Touch the software is not able to pick low frequencies. Good news was that he had solution. He UPGRADED MY HTC TOUCH SOFTWARE TO HTC DIAMOND WINDOWS 6.1 SOFTWARE. and after restart my problem was resolved. But a new problem arises, HTC Touch loses its charm to Touch Flo. Instead of a 3D Touchflo menu which was why i brought Touch, a 2D diamond type menu comes.

Handsets don't ring?

I assumed you are talking about your wireless phone. Are you worried about handset ringing or the incoming call ring? 1. If you want to check your handset ringing, you check it by calling from your base to your handset via INTERCOM. If it rings, then your hanset ringing is working. The trunk or the Tel Company dial tone is the one not going in to your phone. Hope this helps. Best regards.

How do i change the ringtone callers hear when they contact my htc wildfire

Thanks for visiting FixYa!

In most cases, the ring tone callers hear (incoming ring tone) is controlled by your cellular service provider.

Try this first: (On the Internet) Sign-in to your cellular account. On your account page, look for a link that directs you to your incoming ring tones (or similar). There, you can change your incoming ring tone.

If you're unable to do that, contact your cellular provider's Customer Support. They can assist you in changing your incoming ring tone.

Uniden Model EX 14560 Ringer off How to put ringer on

Here some solutions for your problem + a link to the user manual.

**Selecting the Ring Tone and Volume
Your phone has five different ringer tone/volume combinations you can choose from.
To select the ringer:
1) With the phone in standby, press [vol/ / ] or [vol/ / ].
2) The phone will sound the different ring tones at different volumes. To turn the ringer
off, select RINGER OFF.
3) When the phone sounds the ring tone and volume you wish to use, press [end].


**Temporarily Mute Ringer
If the handset is off the base while an incoming call is ringing, simply press [end] to mute
the incoming ring. The ringer will sound with the next incoming call.
Note: You can only mute the handset ringer if the handset is off the base when the phone starts
ringing.
Adjusting the Earpiece.

Hi: I have a Panasonic KX-T7420 phone. When one of the incoming lines is ringing and I pick up the handset, it picks up the intercom and not the incoming line. Is there a way to get the thing to answer...

There are 2 things that would prevent you from being able to answer a ringing phone by picking up the handset. Your phone has to be ringing, and you need to set preferred line ringing on incoming calls.

The second part is easy. Press PROGRAM 99 and dial 22 STORE on your phone. Now when a call rings on your phone you can pick it up. If you can't, then your phone is not ringing.

Ringing is set in system programming.

HTC Touch Diamond will vibrate, but won't ring on incoming calls

I just had this problem - and I have been messing with it for an hour.... but I finally fixed it - Try this - touch the speaker symbol on top (The system status window should pop-up) then touch the speaker symbol again (Now you should have two tabs - one for system and one for ring) Touch ring and slide it up. This worked for me.

HTC Touch doesnt ring on incoming call

Hi. First thing, you can check your sound settings, by tapping Star Menu, then Settings, then Sounds & Notifications, and through that page, you can check if your incoming call alert is on (just sound, or vibrate and sound), you can try to change the ringtone to see if your current ringtone is damaged or not. (Since other sounds are alright, there shouldn't be any problem in your hardware or in the sound volume levels) Hope this helps.

Phone doesn't ring, but other sounds fine

:) Sometimes happens to me also. I faced a similar problem before, I think one of the installed programs on your device does it, I couldn't remember the name of the application now but whenever I launch it, my phone sound goes to minimum, Just to let you know. Have a nice day.

Phone doesn't ring for an incoming call

You may have already done this, but the first step is to check your various settings.

Go to Start > System Tools > Settings

First, go to the "Profiles" menu and make sure your phone is NOT in Silent mode.

Then, if your phone still isn't ringing, go to the "Sound" menu and make sure your Ring tone and various other sounds are set appropriately.

Finally, you should try turning off and on your phone and seeing if this corrects the problem.

If none of these tasks work, there may be a hardware issue with your phone and you should bring it to your carrier's local store and ask them to fix or replace it.
