Mine's from Hong Kong too. Just testing it now in a quiet room I had to have the volume on about '2' to not be too loud. That leaves lot of scope to go much louder. So I tried that anyway and it went very loud. So it doesn't seem to be a regional limitation.

I always use jog wheel to put volume up to max but still struggle to hold a conversation. I haven't tried using the supplied headphone and to be honest i don't think i will, I didn't buy the phone to use it with headphones and personally feel a bit of a pri*k using earphones to make a call so it's not an option of me.
Software or hardware problem it needs fixing and soon!
It's reassuring in a way to know that i'm not the only one experiencing these problems.

The headphone test is not ment for permanent use - just to test if the calls are received loud enough and the speaker could provide the volume. All in all it looks like a hardware issue with a very few phones and to get it solved you will have to visit a se service center. Before that I would definitly try to test another P1 if it has the same problem...
There is also a speaker test hidden in the Service Menu which helps to easily compare two P1... |

Doe's anyone else think the volume of call's is far to quiet?
Don't use the functions, you cannot understand  .
Now go back to Service menu ^*vv*v* (^ and v with jog dial), open Service tests-> Speakers and set spekers volume to 100%. Now close all pages and give feedback, did this solve your problem? |

Did the service test, you can hear the button press tone's but it's still not very loud. Will be taking phone back to Carphone Warehouse this week. |

I bought P1i in Macau CTM and I got this problem too.
I think that should be its hardware problem. I will get it back to CTM and tell you if it is its problem later. |

I have the same problem. Send the unit back to SE and they exchanged a new one since they do not have spare parts. Even the new unit at Max, the volume level is disappointing.
It should be a hardware problem. Take it back. |

turn up the multimedia volume - i have an m600 and a p1i which i use daily and couldn't work this out as i too was having to raise the volume with every call.
have turned it up and everything is sweet now =)
thing the firmware defaults multimedia to half volume.
note, you need to do this from the volume button, not whilst in a call.

I am having the same problem, I find myself pushing the phone further and further in my ear, it starts to hurt? I did have an o2 version which I am sure was fine? but I now have a sim free one from MobileFun on vodafone, The earpiece volume is on full all the time.
I have tried all sorts to get it louder, wired headphones are ok, and my bluetooth headset is very loud, its driving me crazy.
If I can't solve it tomorrow I am sending it back.
If anyone knows anything else to try, let me know.
Cheers

Has anyone been able to resolve this issue yet?
Just e-mailed SE to see if they are away of the problem.
