A680: wont ring

[STR8upFast]

ok I just noticed that my A680 doesnt ring anymore...it still vibrates but it will not ring...I restored all the factory settings and then modified them the way i want them but it still doesnt ring...***?

[The 8]

did you dl any non-sprint ring tones that may have damaged the speaker?? i havent seen this on any 680s yet, but i have seen damaged speakers on the a660.

i got plenty of non-sprint ringtones from 3gupload ...im just gonna take my phone up to sprint and see wut they can do for me...

[sprintguy]

it's a known issue now thanks to me...they're working on a fix for it...in the meantime, go to the store and they will order you a replacement...

I had this problem and took it to a sprint store. after waiting a long time :mad: , they told me they will order a replacement phone. a few days later I went back, and after waiting a long time again :furious: , they gave me new a680 phone. i hope the same thing doesn't happen to this one.

thanks, man!...refurbished...maybe the fixed the speaker problem on this one.

When I do this, it says Reconditioned. Is that Refurbished? If so, I was unaware I was buying a refurbished phone.

What does it mean by "Status No"?

It means that your phone is new and not a refurb.

[frostino]

OK good thanks.

I forgot all about this thread....the following day I went to a local sprint store and told them the situation...the rep said since thats a mechanical defect samsung will cover it...since samsung does give out that 1yr warranty when u buy a new phone...

Nice. When it happened to my phone they said the third party downloads voided the warranty and I had to use lock line. Needless to say, I wont have that problem again. Idiot local reps.

3gforfree ringers have been know to blow out ringers on a wide variety of phones. It really depends on what phone you had and the warranty on that esn of the phone. Sometimes manufactuers may produce a defective batch of phones which would be covered for a specific issue.

It is a known issue within a certain ESN range. With the 680's being discontinued, you might be able to convince the store to put you in another phone...
