Welcome to Android Central! Go to Settings>Security>Device Administrators, and make sure neither of those apps still has a component installed that is acting as a Device Administrator. If you do see something there, uncheck it, then go to the App Manager to uninstall the rest of it.

Have you rebooted since uninstalling those apps? If that didn't help, then try wiping the cache partition: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-10404

MacroDroid can force the ringer for you.

I use it to force the Ringer to Max Volume every time my phone is locked. I can't tell you how many times I have missed an incoming call because my clumsy fat fingers are always gripping the phone on the Volume Down button.

super easy to do.

Install MacroDroid => * MacroDroid - Device Automation - Android Apps on Google Play


Now create at a minimum of this one macro.

Trigger: Screen On/Off

select Screen OFF
​

Action: Set Volume

Select all appropriate, but the Ringer at a minimum.​

Slide the volume dot to Max and click OK
​

Click OK again.
Click Right Arrow on top of screen
do it again (ignore Constraints)

Enter a Name for your new macro

Ringer MaxVol
​

as soon as you hit OK, it will go to the main screen.
Look at the list of macros and you will see your new macro.

okay, now hit the Power button and have a buddy call your phone.
bingo! it will ring now.
