Phone will not ring, no caller ID...

Ok, I have had this happened about five times now. My 8130 will suddenly start acting really sluggish. The hourglass symbol spins and spins when I click on anything and it takes apps forever to come up. And EVERYTIME that has happened, from then on out when I receive calls, the phone doesn't ring. It instantly comes up "Missed Call" and it always says "Unknown Caller". I then get frustrated because I don't know who has called and I finally reset the phone. It then works great until the next time it decides to happen.
So i decided that maybe it was some of the apps I have installed like Yahoo Messenger that are causing the phone to act wierd. So I go to remove them using the Desktop Manager (v4.7) which now will not work either. (I have detailed that issue in the "Software" forum!) I have tried uninstalling the software to reinstall it... but it WILL NOT uninstall! I keep getting a 1606 Network error.
Has anybody had any of this happen? What did you do?
Nick

Hi there!
First off, reboot your device:
Anytime random strange behaviors creep in, the best thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, this one suffers from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
As for the 1606 error, here are some KB articles that discuss it:

Since your desktop app is no longer running, you should do a clean uninstall:

And then re-install:

Hopefully that'll get you started toward resolution.

  • Phone will not ring when called

    Hello... I just purchased the iPhone from AT&t and the phone will not ring when called.  I have gone  to settings, sounds, ringtones and all looks good.  Phone sometimes shows a caller is calling but not always and it is not ringing.  Please help>>>

    If the issue is still occuring try a restore just in case.
    If that does not solve the issue..... Take it back to where you purchased it from
    AT&T's DOA (dead on arrival policy) is 30 days from the day of purchase.
    They should be able to replace the iPhone for you as long as you ask them to within 30 days of it being purchased.

  • TS1630 My phone will not ring for calls or text messages. It also will not play music out loud.

    My phone will not ring for messages or texts. It also will not play music outloud. I know it's not the speakers because it does make noise when I type in my password and sometimes when I am in the settings for the ringtone. It will not make the message sounds in settings. With headphones it makes noise. I don't know what to do and I've tried all the settings. Has this happened to anyone else? The silence key on the side is off. I've tried restarting it, but it does not work. Sometimes it will make noise when I am typing, but only a few times. I haven't dropped it and I have an otterbox, so I don't know what would cause it to do this...?

    Everyone you are way over thinking this as did i at first. My wife had the same issue. there is i switch right above the volume button as demonstrated  on this link. its designed for lets say you into a class or meeting you can switch the phone to silent quck and easy.

    There is a switch on the left side of the phone, above the volume buttons. Flipping that will mute/un mute the phone. Also try pressing the volume up key a number of times.

  • Help! Ever since installing os6, my phone will not ring.

    Help! Ever since installing os6.0.1 , my phone will not ring, or make ANY sounds. I have checked in "sounds" under "settings", and it will ring when I change the setting, but not when someone calls. All of the other alerts are silent, as well as the "clicking" when you are typing. Any ideas?

    I am an idiot...missed the side button. Sorry!

    If you have a 1G iPod then you are in the same boat of other 1G users, It appears that Apple changed the App store and the update prevent 1G users from purchasing items. I have not seen a solution yet.

  • Have an iPhone 5. Phone does not ring when calls come in and texts sent from non-iPhones are delayed by 4-5 hours before receiving.

    Have an iPhone 5. Phone does not ring when calls come in and texts sent from non-iPhones are delayed by 4-5 hours before receiving.

    This morning I woke up thinking that I should turn off my iPhone and then call it from a land line.  If the problem is the network then there would be a delay before I heard ringing.
    I turned my iPhone off and called it.  Right away I heard my message.
    I turned my iPhone back on and called it.  It rang right away!
    So, did Virgin Mobile fix the problem or did turning my iPhone off fix the problem?
    I don't know, but I'll take either.  I do know that Virgin Mobile said it would be four days to check the problem.  Did the problem get fixed yesterday when the four business days were up.  I do know that I've had my iPhone on for a long, long time.  Did upgrading to 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 cause the problem and turning my iPhone off reset my iPhone?
    If you have delayed ringing problem and turning your iPhone off and on again resolved it, please post a note here.
    P.S. I did call Virgin Mobile and its records show the investigation is still open.  I hope my points get passed on to the investigators.
    P.P.S. Reading my notes, I had turned my iPhone off and on last week.  Maybe it's all the phase of the moon.
