Involuntary Ring ... or Silence!
I'm having some issues with Verizon service, and I don't know if it's the phone or the service?
My phone is normally set for VIBRATE, but sometimes it changes to RING LOUD or COMPLETE SILENCE. No rhyme or reason for this behavior. It just does it....
I had an early model LG UX 6000 camera phone. It worked good for awhile, but it was getting trashed by my usage, and I didn't like what it was doing.... changing from VIBRATE to something else. Quite annoying.
I figured it was an old phone, so when my 2 years were up, I signed up for another 2 year contract to get a new phone. I go the Motorola 815, which had been getting good reviews.
Unfortunately... same problem... even worse! Ugly menu too!
Suggestions?

my phone tends to do this when it is in my pocket, as the buttons wind up getting presssed...different phones, of course, do this with different buttons.
Another thing I have noticed, although this probably varies by phone model as well, is that if I have a custom ringer set for a person, that ringer can override the "global" settings. I had a nokia that did this, you'd set it to "vibrate" but the custom ringer would still ring through. My moto v505 is better, but there is a setting in the profile which allows custom ringer to override the default settings (this is set per-profile, so I can set the "vibrate" profile to not allow overrides, and the "loud" profile to allow them).
Dunno if that will help you or not.....

i know for lg you can set personalized ringers for each person, then you have three incoming ringer options caller id, no caller id, and restricted calls. Don't know if that is the problem, or you are simply hitting the buttons in your pocket. I don't see how it could be the service?

It's real strange how both phones tend to change without me even touching them.... as far as I know.
If it does get changed with minimal touching, then it is a serious design flaw. Still, I don't think I touched them.
Very frustrating.....

even so, there is no way that the service provider has any kind of access to change your ring settings....so it can't be any kind of glitch or malice on their part

The current motorola models for VZW use profiles. There are three different profiles for the motorola e815. Ring, silent and vibrate.
I had a customer come in who was complaining that her v265 sucked and it was broken because it would ring when set to vibrate. What she did is she modified the silent and vibrate profile to ring. So when she would turn on the silent of vibrate profile, the phone would ring. Of course when I tried to point out her mistake and train her how to do it right, she got mad and claimed that the phone was terrible and blah blah.
NOW. To fix your problem, I am going to list a few steps.

The older LG's with manner mode button on the side were so easy to accidently put into manner mode. The next press it would go into silent mode. And then back to normal mode. I didn't like how easy it was to put this into manner mode accidently. That is why on the newer phones LG moved that to the * key. Love the feature...didn't like the location of it...fixed on new phones. Hope that helps and summed it up...
