On incoming calls, my Fuze does not ring. I have it set to 'vibrate and ring' and it only vibrates. I have changed ringtones, ring settings, turned it off and back on, soft reset, pulled the battery out, etc and nothing will make my phone ring. All other notifications work (alarms, text messages, etc) and it will work on speaker phone once a call is connected. Is there any advice? I am trying to avoid a Hard-reset because I have the device set-up perfectly to my tastes...

What format is the ring tone in?
My ringtone is the 'Oldphone2' and it is set at'vibrate and ring'. It just spontaneously started this non-ringing thing this morning prompted by no changing of settings. As I said, I tried messing around with the setting after it stopped ringing, but to no avail. And the frustrating thing is that everything else seems to work fine. Argh!
This may seem silly, but have you checked your ring volume? I've had a situation a few times, for no apparent reason after disconnecting from Activesync, where my ring volume was down to 0. Just a thought.
I HAVE SAME PROBLEM, when you turn all to vibrate only and turn it back up . the ring stop working
Yes. all volume settings are up. ringer volume, call volume, media player volume.... Any other suggestions?
i had the same problem just now.. but changing the ringtone back to the ATT default one fixed it. I also use S2U2 and changing the setting for "vibrate when answered" or something like that seems to have fixed it as well.
Hope that helps.
what is S2U2? I have tried changing the ringtone back to ATT default and fiddling with the settings... No help there. This is frustrating. I have to keepmy phone on my desk in front of me so I dont miss any calls. I miss them if the phone is in my pocket.

this happened to me too and i hard resetted. that fixed it , then it started again. come to find out th eproblem was when i hit the volume key on the side i turned system valume up and didnt click on ringer volume to turn it up . i had to smack myself
do texts ringer still work?? if so then im pretty sure you have the same problem i had, check it. good luck though
Do you have the unit face down? It has an auto mute when face down.
I also have an alarm problem, although lights go off, the alarm doesn't ring. I also have problems with ringing on incoming calls. The speaker otherwise works fine. Volumes are turned on appropriately. I have Natfv4.0 installed. Do any of the roms fix this problem?
So somehow the problem fixed itself. Dont know how as I didnt even touch my phone for two days. I just turned it on and -BOOM- it rang a few minutes later. Totally spontaneous issue. Really strange this phone is sometimes...
Boy, do I feel dumb.....Never even noted the un hi-lighted RING volume TAB...
I guess I can't use THAT excuse for not answering calls...
Thanks

I've been having the same problem. It's very baffling to say the least. I believe it was caused by the newer versions of S2U2. Don't know if it's been discussed in that thread or not. Both times this ringer 'glitch' has occurred, it's been when I've password protected S2U2 in settings. The issue was fixed by turning the password protection off, restarting S2U2, soft resetting my Fuze.
I am having the same problem with incoming calls not playing the ring tone and missing calls. I can guarantee you that the system/ring volume controls are at maximum. I have switched ring tones to no avail. It seems to have something to do with changing the ring type from ring to increasing ring and or visa versa. When I change ring type the problem exists. If I turn system/ring volume to silent and then back to maximum it plays the ring tone just fine. There is a bug in there somewhere! I also see a 'send text' lower left of screen and I hear a blurp sound or two in the background wihile the ringtone is playing when the phone is ringing. Anyone else have any issues like this? If so or you have a fix please send it to [email protected] I'm new to this forum stuff and don't really know how to use it. Hope I didn't break any rules.
Thank you,

I just have the callers complaining that I take too long to answer the phone. I called myself, and it took 3 1/2 rings for my Fuze to ring...anyone else?
Great PPC, Lousy Phone
Mine too. I just tried it and it does not ring until seven seconds after the light starts flashing. Not only that, it will not retain a custom ring tone. I try to use Old Phone 2 but it reverts to the default on its own.
My vario iv also suffers from the missing ring tone- reboots sometimes help but not always.
I too have had to learn not to rely on the alarm- goes off some days and then not on others.
Just now I thought that I would try to play an mp3 to see if that works- I pressed play and then waited for the track to start- no sound- seconds later the screen changed and touchflow launched itself (again) went back to the home tab and the sound is back?????
Same problem... it stopped ringing...
one thing I notice is that if the number calling is private or block it will only light up (no ring) but from a caller with Caller ID open the phone will ring...
strange...
Vibrate is no longer working on incoming calls, messaging, nor on haptic feedback. Does anybody know why, and how to get it to work?
Note It worked when I first got the phone.
I have tried checking vibrate in all of the following places:
1) haptic feedback
2) sounds & display ( check vibrate, tried check/uncheck silent mode)
3) messaging settings
4) notification bar
Even after reboot.
Stock Rom.
Haptic feedback- Check not only that it is enabled but that you have the intensity set up as well.
Calls/Messaging- Do you have service showing? Is your Sim card in properly? More info on what exactly is going on. If those are good you might need to take the phone to Tmob and see if something is up.
That was it - the vibrate feedback intensity was down.
Thanks! It's like a maze.
ok so my phone wont vibrate when i get a new text message. it may rarely work but more often than not it does nothing.
i have it set to 'vibrate only in silent mode' and then i switch it "vibrate" either thru the lock screen slider or using the volume keys but nothing works.
anyone else have this issue? fix?
is there a setting or way to make it have a separate vibrate and silent mode? like "ringer" "vibrate" "silent"
Can you check at "Text Messaging - (Menu Key Touch) - Message Settings -
Notification Settings - Virbrate Option"
I checked this option and it works perfectly.
Sound setting - Vibrate mode effects only about call mode.
Message Sound and Vibration mode works separately.
hmm thanks but thats not what i want. i dont want it to vibrate and play the sound. i just want it to vibrate when its in vibrate mode....

Did you try the "only when silent" setting within the text messages>settings>Vibrate? To me that means it should only vibrate but who knows if that's how it actually works.
(I feel embarrassed that I've had my D2 since September and never realized that's why my texts never vibrated. I just thought I had gotten used to the vibration I never felt it. lol)
I used to had the same problem and the solution that work for me was downloading this app called "VIBRATION WIDGET".. You just search for it on the market (i cant post links for now)
This is a widget that when you activate it pops up a window that ask you to turn on the vibration (notifications, calls, messages, etc) just click YES/ACTIVATE and there you have it. Problem solved
Sorry about my awefull english
Thanks button if you find this usefull

I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII through Virgin Mobile. I have a custom vibrate pattern set but when I get a text message the default vibrate pattern plays (two short vibrates). I am using the stock messenger app.
This is really frustrating does anyone have a solution?
Now i hv an issue which need u help. For my Nexus s, no vibrate appears when an sms or gtalk message comes if the silent mode is off. But, the phone would be vibrating if i turned on the silent mode. i set vibrate always in the setting of Sound. i also set the vibrate always in the setting of SMS and Gtalk. But, it doesn't work. i wanna the ringtone and vibrate both appear if an sms or gtalk meassage comes. is there anyone help me?
there are 2 modes
make sure you have set it to VIBRATE mode
if you set it to SILENT mode, it is really silent, it wont even vibrate, because vibration makes noise

Now the problem is that if the SILENT mode is selected, vibrate would come, if not, no vibrate comes. i wanna see that ringtone and vibrate come out together if an sms or gtalk message received without SILENT mode selected. but, it doesn't work. However, if an incoming call came, the ringtone and vibrate could come out together.
i had the same issue ever since I bought my Nexus S but the setting for vibrating when you receive a text message is in the Messaging app after you press the menu key adn go into settings
Messaging App --> Menu Key --> Settings --> Vibrate (Under the Notification Settings)
Hope this helps!!
I use audio manager (free version) from the market. It offers excellent control over all the global sound levels and vibration.
Sent from the future to put right what once went wrong.
My ringer is usually off and I can't keep looking at my screen (e.g., for NoLED) when I'm with patients. I've been unable to get vibration notifications of incoming text messages, although as far as I can tell I've selected everything to do with vibration in Settings.
Surely there's a way to get this that I'm missing.
in the sound settings, select vibrate and choose an option like vibrate only in silent mode or always. in the messages app, choose settings and select vibrate. choose vibrate only in silent mode or always

Right. I've done that (Vibrate Always in both Settings and Messaging), yet it doesn't vibrate for anything except calls.
be certain that notifications are enabled in the messaging app.
there was a similar problem on a couple htc phones i had. i used a program from the market called 'sound manager', i believe it was. then i set everything the way i wanted it, did a test and vibrate worked. then when i deleted the sound manager app the settings stuck and my messages still alerted via vibration. good luck.
I'm starting to think this might be a Gingerbread bug, man, cuz I don't get vibrations on text either
I used to think it was CM7 but I have the same problem on stock.
