							Troubleshooting: Ring tones, sounds, and alertsMy smartphone is ringing or vibrating more times than expected For calls, the number of times that your BlackBerry® smartphone vibrates isn't determined by the number of vibrations that
you set in your sound profile, and there's no setting for the number of rings if you don't subscribe to voice mail. Your
smartphone vibrates or rings until the caller or the wireless network ends the connection.
My smartphone isn't ringing or vibrating when I receive a call or message Try the following actions:
• On the Home screen, click the  Sound and Alert Profiles icon. Verify that your profile isn't set to  All Alerts Off or Silent .
• If you have created contact alerts, on the Home screen, click the  Sound and Alert Profiles icon. Click Change Sounds and
Alerts  > Sounds for Contacts . Click a contact alert. Click  Phone or Messages . Verify that the  Volume field isn't set to  Silent
and that the  Vibration field isn't set to  Off.

About tabbed browsing
With tabbed browsing, you can open multiple webpages on your BlackBerry® smartphone at the same time. You can quickly
switch between tabs that are open, open a new tab without closing another, or close the current tab without closing the entire
browser. If you open a link that is in a message, calendar entry, or memo, the link automatically opens in a new tab.
The more tabs that you have open, the more memory your smartphone uses.
