    Why won't my phone ring during incoming calls?

    Sorry to hear that. Just wanted to do a follow-up. I've since moved on to an LG G3. Never did figure out the problem with the Galaxy S3.

    Why won't my phone ring during incoming calls?

    Good thought. Yes, the ringtone has been set within the individual apps.

    Thanks for this information. This sounds like exactly what I need. The only problem is that I use VOIP for the phone, and don't even have a phone contract. 3rd party apps are the only way I can receive incoming calls. If I uninstall them, then I can't receive in coming calls at all.

    Why won't my phone ring during incoming calls?

    Thanks for your effort B. Diddy. The phone is not rooted. Cleared cache partition, but problem persists. The only apps I'm aware of that have access to the dialer, are Groove IP, and Ring.to. Checked every setting in those apps as well, and can't find anything that changes the result.

    Why won't my phone ring during incoming calls?

    Can't get phone to ring. It just vibrates. I've tried everything I can think of: Volume is turned up for all settings (ringtone, music/videos/game, notifications, and system). I selected a ringtone, not silent. Blocking is not on during the time of day the phone won't ring. (Also tried...

    Warning! KitKat (Android 4.4.2) Busts Wi-Fi on Galaxy S3!!

    You can overcome the problem by doing a factory reset on your phone. This worked for me. It's also the advice that USC is giving. If you don't mind doing a factory reset, you can upgrade to Kitkat successfully.

    Have you actually tried the reset yet, and did it work?

    Did you do a factory reset, or did it just not malfunction when you upgraded?

    4.3 Expanded Notifications Not Working

    The standard e-mail notifications appear, but there is no option to "Mark read", or "Archive" from the notification panel. When it works, you can just click those to mark them read or archive them, without opening your e-mail client. Without them, touching the notification opens your e-mail...

    Don't upgrade to Kitkat 4.4, unless you want to risk losing your wi-fi! Upgrading to KitKat busted my wifi! It's just greyed out now, and won't turn on. Several others have already reported the same problem...

    I have the same problem. Wifi is greyed out, and won't stay on or register any sources. If you hit "Advanaced" options, the "On" switch turns green in the background, but it doesn't change anything, Tried rebooting, removing battery, removing and replacing sim card, etc. Nothing has worked yet...
