Phone Keeps Ringing Continuously - Seeking Help

I’ve been dealing with an annoying issue lately: my phone keeps ringing continuously and it’s driving me crazy! It seems like no matter what I do, I can’t make it stop. Here’s a bit more detail about what’s happening:

Symptoms

  • Constant ringing: It doesn’t seem to matter whether it’s a call or a notification; my phone just won’t stop ringing.
  • Unknown callers: I suspect it might be spam or robocalls since many of them are from unknown numbers.
  • Notification sounds: When my phone is not ringing from calls, it’s buzzing with app notifications, so it feels relentless.

What I’ve Tried

  • Do Not Disturb: I tried enabling Do Not Disturb mode, but it seems like some calls still come through.
  • App Checks: I checked my call settings and looked at the permissions for messaging and calling apps, but everything seemed normal.
  • Uninstalling Apps: I thought maybe one of my apps was malfunctioning, so I uninstalled a few that I thought could be causing the issue, but it’s still happening.

Questions for the Community

  1. Any suggestions? Has anyone else encountered this problem? What steps did you take to resolve it?
  2. Settings Configuration: Are there specific settings within Android that I might have overlooked that could help?
  3. App Recommendations: Are there apps that can filter spam calls effectively?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated! I just want to get some peace and quiet from my phone for a little while. Thanks in advance for your help!

If your phone keeps ringing endlessly, it might be worth looking into whether it’s spam. One giveaway is looking at the number—it might be from an unknown area code or be a repeated pattern.

I’ve had that happen! I usually let the call go to voicemail. If it’s important, they’ll leave a message. If not, it’s likely spam!

I’d suggest using a call-blocking app. Some apps can identify potential spam calls and warn you before you pick up. It’s helped me a lot!

5

Great point! I’ve found that many telemarketers use similar numbers, so once you block one, it reduces the calls significantly.

6

Identifying spam calls can be tricky, especially with how clever they are nowadays. I suggest checking online for the number; many websites will indicate if it’s associated with spam.

Exactly! Plus, if they can’t provide a legitimate reason for calling, it’s usually a red flag.

8

Sometimes I get a call from a number I recognize, but it turns out to be spam. I always ask for their name and the company they represent before giving any info.

That’s a smart tactic! I find that a lot of times, they hang up the moment you ask questions.

Don’t forget to report spam calls! Many carriers allow you to report numbers, which can help others avoid them as well.

So true! It’s frustrating, but the more reports there are, the better carriers can act against these spammers.

I’ve even gotten spam calls at odd hours. Anyone else experiencing that? I once got a call at 3 AM from a telemarketer! Unbelievable.

Wow, that’s insane! I think they target times when people are least likely to pick up, which is just rude.

14

Every now and then, I get these callers who speak weirdly! Like, do you think it’s a scam if they can’t communicate properly? I hang up pretty fast.

15

I hear you on that one! Just the other day, a guy kept mixing up his words. I had to ask if it was real or a prank!

I think it may just be that telemarketers are getting more creative with their strategies. A friend of mine had to change their number to escape them completely!

17

That’s a drastic move! But sometimes it feels like that’s the only solution when the calls just won’t stop.

18

Have you tried blocking unwanted numbers? Go to your call log and simply select the number you want to block. It’s a quick fix to stop the annoyance!

I agree! Also, check your phone settings for ‘Do Not Disturb’. Setting this up can silence calls during specific hours!

Another great option is to look into call management apps. Apps like Truecaller can help you identify and block spam calls effectively.
