By the way, it may be appropriate to mention here that the latest firmware update R5a17 corrects the problem that may have been there in R4 with respect to earpiece volume being so low.

Sorry to say this, but actually that is not very acurate. I updated to the latest firmware R5A17 and this is the actual firmware that have CAUSED the very low volume on my phone.

Anyone else experiencing it?

Well how to goto service menu.. me kinda new to dis fone.. thru jog dial?

Used P900 wayback it had much much better speakerphone
Wonder y they had to reduce the quality.. already symbian OS has limited software capabilities + if hardware is bad then it's Worse!

I was using O2 mini prior to dis and it's speaker phone was better/clearer/sharp than dis

I found out exactly the same on my P990. But on my phone the trick only works, if i set the test volume to 100% AND then switch to front speaker. I have tried with diffrent volumes (10%, 30%, 80%, etc.) and it makes a BIG diffrence. I can understand now other people on my phone. (R5A17)

i am the same low speaker , when i go to the service meny-speaker, the REAR test comes out first and i can lower it up or down, but when i switch it to the front speaker, no sound is coming out at all.

i dissassembled the phone, no damage i can see, put it back and still very low volume, any suggestions??
