So I have the 3GS , I have two both have exactly the same apps and settings .
Both are Jailbroken and have the same jailbroken apps and tweaks .
For some reason one of the phones won’t ring , The volume is full the side switch is up too .

The thing about that silent switch is , If I shake the phone or jolt it real quick . The phone acts as if I just pushed it down , Shows the animation and vibrates .

Is the phone borked or can Something trigger it to work again .

Is their a diagnostic box/app I could run to see whats up ?

I assume you’ve looked at the settings in “Settings.” It sounds as if it might be a physical problem because of the way it acts when you shake it.

Does the speaker even work? I know my old iPod Touch had the speaker die when it was just over a year old. Considering that the two share much of the same hardware, I suspect that you might have the same issue I did. Try playing music or some game with sound.

Try a different ringtone, maybe its not in the .caf format this time for some reason. The filesystem also changes sometimes with the IOS, and I havent worked with iphones. Do the default ones work?
