digitalfriend, 13 Sep 2011i have been using this phone for two days .its everything i... 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

I love it because its an android (now using htc aria), the big screen, & the color in pix is vibrant. I think theyre amazing! :)

They suggested I call Samsung to see if they can help me. I plan to do that in the morning.
