    							Troubleshooting: Ringtones, sounds and alertsMy smartphone is ringing or vibrating more times than expected For calls, the number of times that your BlackBerry® smartphone vibrates is not determined by the number of vibrations that
    you set in your sound profile, and there is no setting for the number of rings if you do not subscribe to voice mail. Your smartphone vibrates or rings until the caller or the wireless network ends the connection.
    My smartphone isn't ringing or vibrating when I receive a call or message Try the following actions:
    • On the Home screen, click the  Sound and Alert Profiles icon. Verify that your profile isn't set to  All Alerts Off or Silent .
    • If you have created contact alerts, on the Home screen, click the  Sound and Alert Profiles icon. Click Change Sounds and
    Alerts  > Sounds for Contacts . Click a contact alert. Click  Phone or Messages . Verify that the  Volume field isn't set to  Silent
    and that the  Vibration field isn't set to  Off.
