Zedge is one of the top ringtone apps for Android, with tons of available free tones, including ones that are completely silent.
Type silent ringtone into the search bar and tap the Search key. The search bar is at the top of the screen.
A list of categories with matching results will appear. Tap Ringtones. Preview the ringtones to make sure they are really silent. Tap the play button a sideways triangle on one of the tones to listen. Often, simple tricks are the most useful.
So, before you jump to other solutions, restart your device. You never know when that magical spell will help you. If the silent mode is enabled on your phone, then obviously you will not hear the ringtone. Look for the silent mode symbol in the status bar.
If that is enabled, turn it off. Most phones let you switch sound modes from the volume buttons itself. Here, change the mode to regular. On some phones, you simply need to increase the ringtone volume.
Besides the silent mode, you also need to check the ringtone volume. Sometimes, we accidentally press the volume buttons which may reduce the ring volume to zero. Another important setting that you need to check is of the Do not disturb mode DND , which is different from the silent mode. You also need to check the schedule mode of DND.
When enabled, DND is activated automatically at a certain time. First, turn it off. Make sure automatic scheduling is off. The switch is present on the side of the phone. If you have checked all the solutions mentioned above, then the issue might be with the ringtone. Quite often, that is the reason behind the problem, and very few of us look there.
Basically, if you are using a downloaded ringtone or some other tone, it has an issue. Either its location has changed, or something is wrong with it. All you need to do is change your ringtone to another sound. Start with the built-in audio sounds. If everything goes well, then download new tones. Here, change the ringtone under Phone ringtone option.
If you use separate tones for special contacts and you are facing the same issue specifically for a particular contact, change their ringtone. Sometimes, the issue crops up due to a third-party app. For that, press and hold the power button of your phone. When the power options appear, tap and hold the Power off option until your phone prompts you about entering into safe mode.
Tap Ok and your device will boot in safe mode. You will see the text Safe mode mentioned at the bottom-left corner. Another way to go to the safe mode is by using the physical keys.
