How to Fix Android Ringer not working?
1.Volume Settings: Go to settings, Sounds and Vibration and then go to volume for some devices on Android the settings might be slightly different. Make sure the various volumes are at least at half, if any is all the way down turn them way up.
You can also use the Physical volume key on the out side of the phone and turn it way up.
2.Check Sound Mode: If your device is on vibrate or No sound it will not ring. Go ahead and go to settings,Sound and Vibration and then go to sound mode. Make sure it not set to vibrate or No sound profiles.
3.Update your Phone: Make sure you phone is on the latest version. Your device may have a bug and this bug may have issues with sound. Updated versions of your deice can also have a more stable software.
Go to settings, software update and Download and install the latest updates. Make sure your phone has sufficient battery power before updating.
4.Head Phone Mode: If your deice has a headphone jack you may be stuck in headphone mode. In such a case go ahead and clean the headphone jack out. I suggest using a piece of cloth or toilet paper to clean the headphone jack until the phone exits headphone mode. In headphone mode no sound will play including the phone ringing out loud.
Once the headphone jack is cleaned the phone should ring as normal and you should hear sounds as usual from your device.
5.Hard Ware Damage: Unlikely but you may have faulty hardware. If your devices loud speaker is not working your phone will not produce any sound at all such as ringing. In such a case you will need to take the device in for repair.
