When receiving an incoming call the phone will not ring.
Phone is not in silent mode.
Am able to adjust the ringtone volume with external buttons on side of phone and by going through the phones settings. In each case the ringtone level is set so it is audible.
Have tried to power off and power on the phone to no use.
Have powered off and removed battery for 5 minutes before reinstalling and turning the phone back on to no use.
