My phone is not ringing

My phone has stopped ringing when recieving calls. I've checked all the settings and it should be ringing but it is not.

Any solution for that?

Hi, did you mean phone did not ring for incoming call? Are you able to answer the call?

Can you clarify that you can hear other audio on the device such as message tones and music?

I can answer incoming calls without a problem, it is like the phone is set on silent mode

All other applications can play audio, only the ringtones don't

if I were you, I would backup everything and repair the phone with Update Service

Make sure you backup everything

Settings -> privacy -> Back up my data and Automatic restore should be selected

and also

Use one of these links to download the

Backup & Restore app

How to install it

You need to

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

download IO File Manager

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.openintents.filemanager&feature=search_result

download the backup & restore app, transfer it to your SD card, use OI file manager to find it -> tap on it -> install it

Contacts

just to play it safe sync your contacts w/ google if you haven't already

open your phonebook

press MENU button -> tap on Send Contacts -> select all -> send it to your email

on your computer

Don't worry so much about backing up your apps

if you don't want to use the backup & restore app then

Are you setting the standard ringtones or are you trying with mp3 files you've added yourself?

Try to remove the SD card from the phone and see if it works better.
