Blackberry torch ringtone speaker distortion

[Cre8torzn]

Hi guys and girls,

I am really running out of ideas with this phone. I have a Blackberry Torch and have had no problems what so ever up till now. All the tones that I have set for ringtones, sms, email, BBM ect all sound VERY distorted and very bad quality all of a sudden, yet when I go into the media player and play the same tunes/songs/mp3 they sound perfect! I have had the phone for a couple months now on contract I am just dreading the hassle of sitting without a phone for a couple of weeks for them to sort it out. Is there someone that has a similar problem or issue that has managed to fix the problem without sending it in please let me know otherwise I think I will have to take it back to MTN and sit without a phone for a couple weeks.

Thanking everyone in advance...

Check maybe the volume of the ring quality on your phone, it may be too high.

EDIT: Also if that doesn't help, your speaker could be blown...

That is what I am afraid of.. Just a quick, maybe stupid question does the Torch have 2 separate speakers, 1 for media player and the other for ringtones??

I cannot believe it! I took the battery out to change sim cards and now it working!!! Thanks sycogrim for the response...

hahahahaha... no worries mate, just try turning down your ring volume. You obviously must've reset it when you pulled the battery out.
