Ring Video Doorbell: Why is my hardwired battery not trickle charging

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 13:23:05 -0700

I've had my hardwired ring doorbell almost a year a the battery has always been at 100%

Lately its been slowly dropping and not recharging. I've read on other forums that this was the cause of a firmware upgrade and ring knows nothing about it. Their tech support is really terrible. Anyone experiencing this?

Netatmo Smart Video Doorbell: How do I fix a defective device?

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 08:31:14 -0700

I have a smart video doorbell that is not connecting to the Wi-Fi app or HomeKit. It is not accepting a regular or USB reset according to the manual. When connected to power, it blinks orange to indicate insufficient power, though there is sufficient power. Netatomo claims the device is defective to be replaced.

Ring Video Doorbell: Really low speaker volume

Tue, 20 May 2025 13:54:30 -0700

Hi! I have a Ring doorbell, and live on a quite busy road. The speaker seems to be extremely hard to hear, and I have had RING tech support check it is set to the maximum. So what I am wondering is whether anyone has, or could advise on swapping out this speaker for one say from an iPhone or something? I am NOT technical, so there may be many reasons why this is not possible, but f I play music on my iPhone at the front door, that can be heard fine in any traffic, so I don’t see why the Ring doorbell couldn’t be adapted in some way to allow for a better speaker. Any help gladly accepted! Thanks in advance

Ring Video Doorbell: Why is my ring chime not connecting to my WiFi?

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 19:07:51 -0700

We have set up the Ring video doorbell and now have the ring chime to go with it. We have followed all instructions and looked up forums online but still unable to get the chime to connect. It finds our WiFi and the blue light pulses, as soon as it says they are connecting the blue light speeds up searching for networks and says set up has failed! I've reset the chime, reset the router, checked internet connection and not sure what I can do now! Please help?!

Thanks in advance

Eufy Doorbell 2k (Battery-Powered): The microphone on these seem to die easily.

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 01:48:56 -0700

I have two of these Eufy 2K Doorbells and both had their microphone failing after about a year of use. I unpaired one of them a now that one is useless since it can not pair anymore without the microphone. Anyone any suggestion if this can be repaired? Eufy can't deliver a spare microphone.

I think the microphone sits at the top, above the camera. Does somebody know for sure which part is the microphone?

Eufy Doorbell 2k (Battery-Powered): Doorbell not syncing with hub.

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 01:10:59 -0700

Hi, my doorbell won't sync with hub anymore.

I repositioned the bell and when I clicked it into the holder it was difficult to clip in. So it looks like I used too much force and the screw head that holds the bracket pressed hard against the workings inside the bell. I've tightened down the screw for clearance. Now the bell won't sync with the hub, it doesn't connect anymore. Does anyone know what part I've damaged and can it be repaired. I must have broken a connection inside. It charges ok and makes the ring sound when pressed, it just won't connect anymore. Please help.

Ring Doorbell 2: Why is my doorbell not connecting to my WiFi after falling in water?

Sat, 23 Nov 2024 04:28:52 -0700

I have a ring doorbell for my garden to look at the wildlife. Last night a fox it it into a pot of water and it sat there for 7 hours. Took it out and took it apart to dry it up (trust me, it works) and it turned on! Just one thing: when the doorbell button is clicked, it doesn’t make the noise and it doesn’t connect to my WiFi.

Eufy Doorbell 2k (Battery-Powered): Lens cover won’t stay in place

Sat, 02 Nov 2024 13:00:57 -0700

My Eufy video doorbell is c 3 yrs old.

I recently noticed there was water under the glass disc which covers the camera lens and brought the device indoors to try and dry it out.

The lens cover subsequently fell off and will not stay back in place.

On inspection, it seems the “bezel” which retains this glass disc, and keeps things waterproof, has degraded.

The company can’t give me any advice re repair and just tell me to buy a new unit.

I feel this is wasteful - and surely the design life of this sort of tech should be longer than 3 years!

Can anyone suggest a safe way I could secure the glass cover back in position?

The only thing I’ve though of is tracing a bit of glue round the perimeter with a cocktail stick and then pushing the lens cover back in position.

Ring Video Doorbell: I need to switch between Ring accounts

Sun, 19 May 2024 19:01:08 -0700

My workplace has a Ring account. My house has a Ring account. Those who use the work Ring account, have to use the work Ring account, but I can't access my home Ring account. And the shared user had 3 people going in circles trying to figure that out. My question is, is it possible to switch between 2 account in Ring, without signing in and out every time I need to switch between them? Or am I just out of luck?
