Problems with earpiece speaker volume being too low when making or receiving calls when using Sim 2.

Today I phoned Samsung UK and told them about this problem and the woman I spoke to said this.
Firstly she said that the D880 DUOS has not been officially released in the UK.
Secondly she said that the low volume could be due to the fact that Sim 2 uses a thinner line. What does she mean by "thinner line".
Also she said "If you suspect a problem with your phone I should send it back"

I told her that Samsung should release a Firmware Update.

Many opinions say that the 2 sim phone always have problems like rebooting. one opinion said that there aren't any problems at all when we are using 2 sims in the same network (like Vodafone). any advice please? thx.

Hi there people! I think I really like the coming Samsung D780, second of the Samsung dual sim line-up. It has better look and build and just with the right features.. What I wanna know is if it has a metal body or not, but judging from the pics I think it's made of metal.. So please tell me what you think.. Thanks!!

I also purchased this phone, and tried an Optus sim card, which immediately crashed the phone. Samsung should put out a clear warning regarding Optus sim cards. If anyone gets a fix for the problem it would be greatly appreciated.

WARNING TO ALL OWNERS.
Do not attempt to put an Optus Sim card ( from Australia ) into the phone as it will immediately render the phone useless. It will give a message over and over and the phone will never work again.

I have just bought the D880 Duos and I have noticed that the earpiece speaker volume on Sim 2 is not as loud as Sim 1 when making or receiving a call.
I think Samsung should address this problem with a software update for this phone.

On my old Samsung D900 I could access the hidden menu with this code (*#8999*8378#) and change the volume settings,but this code does not work on the D880 Duos.
Does anyone know of a different code?

As one or two other owners have found - Optus chips kill this phone stone dead. The phone tries to find an icon file from Optus' internet site, gets a 404, and then starts endlessly recycling through the boot process. Removing the Optus chip doesn't solve it: the phone is rendered useless.

I killed one phone in Hong Kong, took it back and had it replaced, and then, on arriving back in Australia, switched to the Optus chip, and the phone was dead before I got off the plane.

Samsung Australia engineers are baffled "not a model we support, Mate", and the matter is now in the hands of the Korean general manager at the Sydney service centre who is alive to the commercial issues at stake - but no better able to fix the phone, replace the stuck OS, or explain what's wrong or how to prevent it happening again.

Beware of Optus SIMs! Goodness knows if other Aussie SIMS are as lethal - at USD700 a pop I've given up experimenting.

if you plan to use verizon wireless for this phone, good luck. This phone use GSM band only. All GSM phones uses SIM card. Verizon wireless use called CDMA band. CDMA phones uses no SIM card.

ive got d880 here in dubai (without duos logo) and it works perfectly. both sim can be used for incoming and outgoing calls without the need of rebooting the phone. others might be trying to use it for 2 different network band causing the phone to reboot. other issues such as the physical attributes is in everyone's discretion so better not to talk about it.

i dont know why people are saying about phone reboots to call on sim 2 ?

Follow these instructions no reboot required

Go to your phonebook view/open the number to call and press the sim control button on the left side of the phone (above the volume button)to shift from Sim1 to Sim2. the sim 2 lable on the screen turns white from sim 1 and press call button ! sim one is still set to the primary sim but you just do the above to ring out on the sim 2 works 100% so dont panic about having to make sim 2 the primary to call out.

the way above is simple and fast.

Re your question Jeremy

Earpiece volume !

perfectly ok mate its clear and certainly loud enough on 5 of its 7 settings and certainly as good as my previous nokia 6300. no problems on either sim as they seem both the same.
