Cannot change Chime ringtone
Hi, Today I found that I could not change ringtone on my Chime (the original version, FW version 1.3.3). I control Chime via the Ring app on my Android phone (app version 3.22.1). When I select different ringtone, hit "Save Changes" I get the confimation about settings being updated. But the Chime light does not start blinking and when I test sound the default sound is still there. I tried following: - Reset chime (via the pin hole). - Restart chime. - Re-install Ring application on my phone. None of it helped. Any idea how to fix this? Cheers, Mirek

Hi there, having a problem with my ring chime. I can't seem to update new chime tones for it. I've tried everything and nothing works. It just keeps going back to the default chime.

LI cannot update my tones on chime. Currently stuck on "Spooky Organs" ha ha. Its driving wife crazy. Ring sent me a new chime and same issue. Spent hours on phone with support with no resolution. I was promised they will investigate my issue and get back to me. At this point I am doubtful I will hear back. My Chime is updated to 1.3.3. When I try to update my tone it tells me "Update Settings - Your Chime is updating, please wait a moment" I press ok and it eventually gives me the error message "Something went Wrong - Sorry about that! Please try again in a moment". What is the solution here. Very fustrating. I choose Ring for their reputation and quality. If there is something wrong with software Lets hear it. Anyhow, any help will be appreciated. Living in a haunted house (Spooky Organ reference) Lou

CThis is ridiculous! We are all having the same problem and clearly nothing ids being done about it. The original problem on this hase been marked as solved ! Unbelieveable! This is an expensive system and the company are clearly offering new stuff left right and centre to attract customers, while those who have spent hundreds (almost a thousand) of pounds (Dollars) are being left out in the cold with a crap system. I could have got a cheap system for less than half the price but this was supposed to be the best! or so I was told.

MYes, still waiting for the solution. I noticec that my latest comment was marked as solution, so I just removed it. Despite their claim on the support call that they woudl fix this and keep me informed, the issue is till there I no-one ever let me know about any status update whatsoever. Quite disappointing. Guys, if you have the same issue, please call Ring support so as they know that there are quite many of us dealing with this issue. Clearly they do not pay much attention to this forum.

UHi I was having cactus same problem but if you go to ring app turn off the two alarm notifications then power down your phone then turn phone back on go to ring app and turn on the two alarm notifications turn your phone off then on again it fixes the problem. However I cannot get Christmas holiday rings or notifications to work!

Also have the same issue with just one of my two Chimes. Deleted it, reset it, changed to a different network but same "Something went wrong" message each time. Support tell me it's being looked into and we should get an email when the issue is fixed.

Dear Ring Community, I bought a Ring Doorbell 2 that came with a regular chime (not pro) in April of 2019 and as of last week I have not been able to change the ring or motion sounds. When I try Changing the sound It says Sorry Something went Wrong. I am not sure what is wrong with it. I have tried resetting it but that did not help; I even called Ring Customer Support and she could not figure it out. It does make a sound if the doorbell is rang or if motion is detected. Chime: Firmware: 1.3.3 Rssi-24 Internet and WiFi: Router: Orbi RBK20W Firmware: V2.3.5.36 Wifi Security: WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] Internet Provider: Spectrum 100 MBPS Phone used to change tone: iPhone XR IOS 13.3.1
