This affordable large-screen Android phone sports a 5.7-inch display and large 3,400 mAh battery.
The media and all the ringers are all not working even though it says it isn't on silent. When I plug in the headphones, then it works and its the only way I can watch videos.
it seems to be your main speaker (Ringer) faulty. you may have to replace it

I factory reset my phone twice now, a week later it's doing it again, how do u stop this from happening?
by Sheri Bryan
backing up the data and resetting your phone doesn't work so it'll be a waste of time. Have to replace it.
Turn Bluetooth on and off

@mayer @pccheese @gigabit87898 Gentlemen. I urge you to review your votes regarding conversion of answers to question. In the votes on this particular thread, I am absolutely against this. The ones you have marked for conversion are answers, not comments. They may be repetitious but those are still answers. Use your voting powers to downvote those that you feel are not adding any more value to this, but do keep in mind that they are answers. Moderation is not censorship! It is not about what we think an answer should be like. I would advice you to reverse those mod votes.

When did this start to happen is it after update or flashing a custom ROM.
I'll say root your phone and flash it with stock ROM and everything will be just fine
Back up all your apps, messages, files, downloads and photos to your Google account or to an SD Card and do a manufacturers reset. This usually corrects the problem. Otherwise there may be a hardware malfunction.

Big have tried all this, on thing that worked is factory reset, well I've already done this twice and now a week after the last one, it's doing it again. This is a brand new phone. What the devil is wrong with it. I am in hospital and can't get anyone to take it to the store, so what now????????

Need to do a factory reset. I had same issue checked everything nothing was off. Alarm would not sound.Factory reset did the trick-Although, the sound is back this cell is low when listening to callers. It has been like that out of the box. Hard to listen to calls while inside a car or outside with surrounding noises. Awful

Hi guys.
Chances are you have inadvertently put your phone into a "no interruptions state".
To fix this, simply press the volume control on the side of your phone.
A window should show on the top of your screen, use the icons to change from 'NONE' to 'ALL'
I hope this helps guys

Zte Max turn on Dolby Audio app. It's a built in app in the phone. Power it on and it has worked really well for me. Try and lets findout if it works for you too.

Check the volume. There two volume controls as others have mentioned... One in phone settings and another in alarm settings. I also deleted all the Previously set alarms and added a new one.. So far thats working for me.

New Yorkers stand up for what they believe in. And we're asking you to stand up for repair.
This year, New York could be the first state in the nation to pass the Fair Repair Act, A8192 and S618. We have a chance to guarantee our right to repair electronic equipment—like smartphones, computers, and even farm equipment. We have a chance to protect local repair jobs—the corner mom-and-pop repair shops that keep getting squeezed out by manufacturers.
It’s not going to be easy. Manufacturers are standing in the way. When your stuff breaks, they want to be the only people allowed to fix it. So far, they’ve managed to stop Fair Repair legislation before your representatives get a chance to vote on it. We’ve got to be louder than their lobbyists.
The Fair Repair Act, known as A8192 and S618, requires manufacturers to provide owners and independent repair businesses with fair access to service information, security updates, and replacement parts. Tell your state representative to support S618. Tell them you believe repair should be fair, affordable, and accessible. Stand up for your right to repair.
The people of Massachusetts have always stood up for their right to repair. In 2012, voters passed a law that ensured residents' right to repair their car wherever they wanted. Now, it's time to do the same for electronics and other equipment.

FYI JUST A REMINDER.. IF YOU PURCHASED THIS PHONE NEW FROM METRO YOU AUTOMATICALLY HAVE A ONE YEAR WARRANTY. IF U GO THE METRO PCS CORPORATE STORE NEAREST YOU THEY WILL CHECK IT OUT AND MOST LIKELY JUST PROVIDE YOU WITH A NEW PHONE ENTIRELY. I have never had any issues when I had to do this myself on 2 previous phones I purchased. They haven't hassled me, they did not try to cause any issue with the replacement phone. They actually seemed as if it's easier for both parties to just replace a phone that has pretty much any issue. I absolutely love this bonus.. I actually am thinking about going to do this with this phone as well. Why not!! I'm TOTALLY sick of buying different orifices and getting cheated in some way.. This send to happen fast to often. I want what I was guaranteed when I purchased this phone. There is a $15.00 dollar cost for shipping and handling to the actual store location it a $30.00 cost if you rather have it makes directly to your home. I have had them ship it to the store to save me money and again not an issue at all never late..
