Ringer volume always at maximum

When I get to work each day I put my Evo on either silent or vibrate. Multiple times today, I have received phone calls and my phone rings at maximum volume. I went into a conference room and played with the volume settings and no matter what they are set to, the phone rings at maximum volume. See my attached screenshots for what my current volume settings are set to, and yes the Evo continues to ring at full volume. Anyone experienced this or have any suggestions? I would prefer to not do a factory reset if I don't have to because I have my Evo set up exactly the way I want it.

I have not had this happen, and I turn the ringer volume down to vibrate every morning and back up to full volume every evening.

I wouldn't recommend a factory reset quite yet- I assume you have at least tried a full power cycle? (Turn *off* the fast-boot option and then power cycle the phone).

I see your screenshot, but if you return to the home screen and press the volume down button on the side of the phone, does it still show your ringer volume at null?

Turning off the "fast boot" option and reseting the phone (holding the power button until the phone reset) did the trick. The key was turning off fast boot because a reset or power cycle did not solve the issue. Thanks for your help.

To answer your question, at all times the phone showed the what I expected whether it was on vibrate or silent but when a phone call would come in it would ring loudly no matter what the volume was set to.

Cool! Click on the "THANKS" button on my posting...

I figured there was something freaky going on. Most people don't realize that "fast boot" is not really a full hardware reboot.... it is more like a simple OS reload. Yes it is much faster, but it doesn't get things back to a true resetted state.
