   3. To turn the Vibration off, tap "Never".
   4. By choosing the "Always" or "Only in Silent Mode", while you are in silent mode, you will turn on the Vibration setting as an option.
   5. You can now exit. Press the "Home" button for standby. Notice the Home button is at the bottom of the front in the photo.

Where do I go to turn off my silent mode?

I can't hear my phone when it rings

If following step 3 to disable vibration and then pressing the volume-up button does not help, then you may have a third-party application that controls the volume. You need to locate it and either uninstall or change the volume in the application itself. To find the application, press the home button and tap on "Apps", "Settings", "Application manager", and "DOWNLOADED". There, try to find the perpetrator and tap on it to uninstall it (it can be something obvious like Volume Control +).
