BlackBerry Storm 9530 will not ring

My Blackberry storm will not ring. It will vibrate but the ringer will not play out loud. I have tried adjusting the volume and turning off vibrate but this doesn't help. When I tried to play my ringtones through my media file it says error playing file not supported. Any ideas whats up or how to fix it?

    My blackberry storm rings sometimes. It has not rang in the last 4 days. It will vibrate if I have it set to vibrate...sometimes. The only time I know I've missed a call or have a msg is by looking at my phone to see the little red light blinking. I have adjusted the volume, and the ringtones several times - no luck.

    My storm won't ring either. I thought it might be because I installed a new theme but I changed it back to the original theme and it's still not ringing. It also won't alert me when I receive e-mails and texts. I am so pissed!

    I had the same problem. My camera wouldn't work, my vidoes wouldn't play and I was getting really upset. I followed the advice on here and removed my battery and rebooted. I am now back to normal. Get rid of Slacker!

    I had the same problem and removing the battery resolved it. Just don't know what caused it and how often to expect the problem.

It seems like the problems starts after using an audio streaming app (Slacker)It also seems to correct after a reset(battery out and back in).

Hi,

Since yesterday my 8900 stopped ringing and clock alarm does not work anymore.

I have done the following:

1. Profiles. Reviewed my Normal(Active) profile under the Profiles menu tab Advanced. Tried several options on the Phone settings, including Out of Holster: Tone, Vibrate Tone, changed the Ring Tone, changed the Volume. Made sure Mute, None, or Do Not Disturb options were NOT selected. Nothing.

2. Chose a different profile, such as Loud. Nothing.

3. Turned the phone off, pulled the battery out and reinserted. Nothing.

4. Turned the phone on, pulled the battery out and reinserted. Nothing.


I just tried to play a music but it failed untill I pressed Menu and selected Activate Handset instead of Speakerphone and the music start to play.


Someone please help

Blackberry storm will vibrate but won't ring. ive tried takin the battery out and volume control still only vibrates.

Sounds like the phone is in the "vibrate mode"- try taking it out of vibrate by changing your sound profile to "normal". If that doesn't work, take it to your local store; it may be more of a phone issue.

How do I unlock my blackberry storm (9530) without an unlock code?

Impossible, you only can unlock blackberry storm 9530 network with a blackberry unlock code. Remember my friend don't think to try untrusted code since if you put many wrong unlock code too many times, your phone will be hardlocked.

Got a new Blackberry Storm and my ringer won't ring

Check either your profile or under "Options" -> "Sounds and Ringer Tones" and see if your volume is set to "Silent". Change volume to something other than "Silent" and see if your ringer works then.
