Oh great, to think I have placed an order for a K750i because I think the in call sound quality of my 6610 is too low.  |

i think it's a firmware problem coz my phone is also like tht, so i don't think the whole world has a hardware problem, it would make more sense if it's a firmware problem and would be fixed hopefully soon..

theres an EU regulation that says any portable music devices that come with inner ear headphones must have the volume limited to a safe level. To prevent people doing damage to their ear.
How thoughtful.
so yes its firmware limited.

I have return 2 k750i due to faulty earpiece volume. I even brought 1 to CPW and let their sales person test it and he agreed with me that it was far too low so I got it exchanged and I got a perfect one now and believe me. It's not related to the software. I got one faulty one software upgrade. Evn after the upgrade. The earpiece volume is still the same so it's a hardware problem. People should bring the phone back and ask for a test. Once got confirm then should ask for a replacement. |

alexho: Well done for getting your earpiece fixed. Is the volume perfect now or still a little low?
It could be a hardware problem but it might also be a firmware design feature to keep the volume under control. Try increasing the equilizer controls as Yazan24 suggests. Just to eliminate the possibility, take your phones back to the vendors and get them to check the earpiece volume. Good luck

Ear picee volume was too low with R1A f/w, but when upgraded to R1J the volume increase is quite noticable and above average. |

Well, I am pleased to report that my fears have been unfounded. In my experience the in call audio level on the K750i has been more than adequate, and certainly a huge imporvement on my old 6610.

coming from a p900 to the K750i was a big disappointment in terms of incoming volumen. quality is quite goos, speakerphone volume and quality are also excellent. but the 'normal' incoming call speaker whilte talking to someone is much too low. it's decent at highest, but nowhere near the highest of the p900. oh well, i guess it's just something i'll have to get used to.
oh and i have R1A but i can live with it until they fix video quality in future versions.

coming from a P910, i fully concur with punkserb. i'm on R1L now, which is much better than R1A. but while i can hear the callers better now, i think it's still a long way from a P-series phone, and i'm sure that in a noisy place, i won't be able to hear a thing.
i don't understand why SE doesn't make the max volume as loud as in the P-series. if it's too loud for anyone, they can always turn it down... |

Yes, it's true that the earpiece volume is low. My past K700i earpiece volume is slightly louder. And comparing to the S700i I've had, the earpiece volume of K750i is much softer....
Anyway, firmware upgrade surely fix this problem, I believe. But, how about the video recording bit-rate decrement issue? ;D

Hey guys!!
This is unbelievable for me to read all this here!!!
I also have my second k750i and itīs still to low!!
I also think about to sell it again!
And someone wrote this:
After months of waiting I recieved my K750i. I think that functionaly this is one of the best phones I have owned (I currently have the P900). It is very unfortunate that the volume on this phone is very weak and does not compare to my Nokia 6610, P900 or even my older T68i. I find this a serious flaw in the phone and have contacted SE in this regard. I was informed that this is the first that they have heard of this problem and suggested that I exchange the unit for another one. I am not sure that this is a hardware issue and unfortunately I am inclined to return this phone unitl this issue resolved.
Do not give up!
I have wrote a new post to tell sonyericsson this problem!!
Please read!!!
And donīt give up.
Maybe they can make an improvement for this!!
My T630 is perfect. I also heared the P910 and itīs also very very good. And my old T610 is also good.
But not the K750i and the W800i!
Please tell this to Hotlines and right e-mails whatever.
But donīt give up!!
They will always say that itīs the first time they hear of such a problem with the volume! They have to say but donīt give up!
Thanks a lot!

I have the same problem... My ringtones are too quiet when playing
as mp3 in player mode. I have been using GoldWave 5.x to change the volume level of my mp3 ringtones and I have found out that when normalizing to 110 % there's less of distortion when playing at highest volume in mp3 play mode than with a lower normalizing value.
Even my mp3 ringtones sound better and louder... |
