I had to do that also, I mean im trying to deal with certain things but geez lolSame here. Noticed this today. Had to put the speaker to my ear. Kind of defeats the purpose of using the speaker phone doesn't it?
Something rotten in Denmark here. Mine is very loud. Just now I did a test by calling the VZW CS recording. At half volume I had to quickly turn it down 'cuz everyone in Starbucks turned around.When I put someone on speaker I can barely hear them, Is there an adjustment for this besides the volume? Even with Volume turned all the way up while on speaker I still can hardly hear.
ugh i would hate to half to return my phone for thisSomething rotten in Denmark here. Mine is very loud. Just now I did a test by calling the VZW CS recording. At half volume I had to quickly turn it down 'cuz everyone in Starbucks turned around.
Beats, me. I am extremely happy with the volume on mine. Weird. This is also something that really matters to me too. So I always check this out right away after getting a new phone.

Yes I would suggest folks having this problem consider returning your device for another as mine is plenty loud and my hearing isn't even the greatest. I actually find myself turning the speaker-phone down a notch or two sometimes.
Make sure you go in to settings>sound and turn the volume up there just to make sure but like I said the volume on mine borders on too loud sometimes. It's one of the best things about this device imo(the external speaker).
Hi Airforece, don't mean to sound stupid but when I go to those settings exactly how do i turn up the speaker?Yes I would suggest folks having this problem consider returning your device for another as mine is plenty loud and my hearing isn't even the greatest.

Yea I might have to do that but the horror stories that I have heard about once making an exchange is crazy. I will go to best buy and see what happens. Was everything else alright with your phone? no light leakage or anything?I had an insurance exchange after I shattered the first one and they sent me a brand new one in the box and holy crap was the speaker better!! The thunderbolt intro almost made me jump it was so loud compared to the first one so this is definitely a hardware thing and I would replace immediately and now google saves your non paid apps and everything so it all came back to my phone automatically which was nice because I hate only having paid apps come back!
that's exactly how I feel. I even have some light leaks that I am willing to put up with.Not loud here also -_- I dont wanna exchange it. Too much of a hassle.

that's nice I hope if I exchange I don't go through any of the nonsenseActually yes it is perfect. The other one had very minimal light leakage and this one has none. It is faster and has less lag and it seems it was a complete blessing in disguise that the other one broke!
