Riger Problem

I just got my DX yesterday and am loving it except for one problem. I cannot get the phone to ring on an incoming call!!! It will only vibrate despite having the vibrate and silence features disabled! I updated the phone to the latest SW prior to testing incoming calls.

The settings are correct (ie not in silent mode, not set to vibrate, ring volume high, CID call out =ring only) and the sounds work for at least some of the other features including low battery warning, ringtone testing, volume level. My next step is to wipe the phone by resetting which I hate to do if I can avoid it. If that doesn't work I will take it to a Verizon store tomorrow and probably return it. Uggh!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am currently awaiting the arrival of my Droid X and have been reading tons about this device and the same question has come up several times. Did you use "Smart Options" or something like it on the phone? Apparently there is a bug with Smart Options that causes the ringer to stay on vibrate unless you do a hard restart. I know that I WILL NOT use this function when receiving mine! :smileysurprised:

Thanks! I checked out the stuck in vibrate threads and will first deselect the smart options to see if this works alone. Otherwise I will reset ....ugggh!

I hope Motorola is working on this!

Well disabling the smart options didn't work so I reset the phone which cleared the problem. Verizon, please note this known problem and work with us to have Motorola provide a permanent fix. An automatic notification would also be nice!

I will also post a complaint on the Moto site. Geesh!

Well Motorola's not too helpful. Think this might be fixed along with the Froyo update coming maybe next week?

omg..I have the same problem. I really don't want to hard reset because I use my phone for work and have over 80 contacts in it, all in certain groups with assigned messages and assigned ringtones. It took me ages to do, They transferred over my contacts from my iphone (I miss it) when I got the X, but they all disappeared when I got it home. I thought I did something..But I'm sure I didn't. Anyway, I may just take this phone back and get an Incredible. I've about had it. I won't even mention how much I've spent on apps...

I'm really p o'd about this. Going to call customer service now. Any ideas would be appreciated (other than throwing it out the window...)

TX!
