Re: Ringer goes silent or reverts, probably lack of RAM

I now suspect that if the phone happens to be low on free memory--typically due to my leaving Opera 10 open overnight--and a call arrives, the phone is unable to play the .m4a ringer, reverts the ringer to Ring01, but gets confused and won't play any ringer until the next soft reset.

Obviously, the phone ought to close Opera and play the ringer. But in the meantime...

I have now switched to a .mid file instead. I am hoping that this requires less free memory. I will also try to remember to soft-reset the phone every night.

make sure when you go to settings/sound & display/ that the "quiet ring on pickup" is set to OFF
