After an OTA update last week, my SGS4 doesn't ring when I receive texts anymore. It only vibrates a little. Does anyone know the solution? Help!

You didn't say, so I have to ask whether you have checked your notifications settings under "Sound" in the "Settings/My Device" menu to see if the update simply reset your message to a different ring tone (i.e., silent or beep once) and all rings to vibrate (a separate setting). Let us know if the update eliminated these menu settings somehow (a more serious issue that no one has reported yet).

I had the same problem with text messages not playing sounds. I've only had my phone for 2 weeks, and I'm not positive if it was always that way, or if that just started after the update. I had installed "My Profiles" as soon as I got the phone and wondered if that was causing the problem. --- Anyway, I decided to download Handcent from the Play Store and the sound notification works perfectly with that application.

Yah, I've actually reset the the ringtone 3 times now.

Does not sound good. I've been holding off installing MF9 because of several bug reports primarily dealing with power management (battery charging & depletion issues). Since I am not clamoring for apps to sd, I think I'll hold off because rolling back is a PITA.
