Phone will not audibly ring

For some reason my phone stopped ringing. The external speaker works, even when I test ring tones. and my settings are set to ring under sounds and notifications. Also yes my volume is turned up. Suggestions?

Maybe the selected sound file was deleted? Any luck picking a different ringer?

Almost forgot to mention, welcome to the family.

The weird thing is if I go under settings>sounds & notifications>notifications and you can set ringer type and tone for each event. For incoming call I select ring and any tone. Then you can press play to test it. There it works?? then a call comes in, and Nothing??

Save you self time of fooling around with it and just backup then hard reset...If that doesn't fix it then its a defect in your device...Maybe you installed something that is conflicting...It could really be lots of things ...

Here is a lnk to a good back up PIM http://www.dotfred.net/

Something dumb, but is the "ringer" volume turned off, when you use the rocker it adjusts the volume on the left, check the volume bar to the right of that one.
