No ring announcing phone call..just a crackly

go into your settings & tools then go to sound settings and scroll down to driving mode and set your driving mode to off and that should fix your problem.

If the problem is with an AT&T cellphone you will need to call them or go log in online to change that feature, however if it is with a Uniden Cordless Phone (the product this question is linked to) the directions below found in their manual should help:

Uniden Cordless Phone
From the base
1) Press [clock/menu] three times. The base displays the current number of rings (2, 4, 6, or TS for toll saver) and announces the setting.
2) Press [>>/select] or [<</select] until the desired ring time appears.
3) Press [set]. A confirmation tone sounds, and the answering machine announces the new ring time.

From the handset
1) Press the MENU soft key. Select the ANSW. SETUP menu, and then the RING TIME submenu.
2) Move the cursor to select a Ring Time (2 TIMES, 4 TIMES, 6 TIMES or TOLL SAVER).
3) Press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.

Hope this is of help

Go into the menu. Then hit '8' (calendar, alrms, etc I think?). Press '1' (voice commands). You will then get a drop list to check or uncheck regarding 'deactivate', 'announce', 'announce +ring'. Select deactivate-- now your phone will ring normal! Son had same prob on his phone-- apparently he'd hit 'announce' at some point....

Change you profile to Normal (so it will ring)

> try customizing your profile by going to:
Menu> Settings> Profile> Normal > personalize> ring tone > ringning.

check out the speaker
if its crackling even during songs playback then u will need to replace the speaker

1) With the phone in standby mode, press the menu/clock key three times.
You hear “Ring time” and the current ring time ([2 ], [ 4], [6 ], [T ] Toll
saver), and it is displayed on the main base. Then you hear the guidance for setting
the ring time.

2) Press the volume/select/ or up or down arrow key until the desired ring time appears.

3) Press the set key to select the new ring time. You hear a confirmation tone, then
the announcement “Ring time” followed by the new ring time. After a few
seconds, the system announces “To set record time, press menu again.”

You can choose whether to hear the
announcement when your system answers
a call, or have it silent (off) on your end
(your caller will still hear an
announcement).
1 Press and hold "Setup". After the Ring
Select setting is announced, continue
to press and release "Setup" until the
system announces “Monitor is on (or
off)”.
2 Press and release "ANNC/SKIP"or "Memo/Repeat"
until the system announces your
selection.
3 Press and release "Play/Stop" or "Setup"
to exit.
