digitalfriend, 13 Sep 2011i have been using this phone for two days .its everything is fine even battery life, the only ... moreFor issues will LOW CALL VOLUME

Go to your phone's dialer and type the following "*#*#197328640#*#*"
This will bring you to the phones hidden default settings. Go to Audio->Handset->Volume->. If you open the first 2 selections you will see the speakers output settings for level of the volume rocker setting (ie 0=70% 1=75% 2=80% 3=84% 4=88% 5=92%). You can edit ANY of those levels. For mine, I have my settings start at 0=75%, and 5=100% of the speaker output, with intervals of 5% speaker output in between.

You can change the same settings for Speaker mode, as well as for use with a headset. Cheers
