And what do I do if I happen to have one? On my FR any sound from earpiece is so low that it could be barely heard even in noise-free environment. I use android with TonePicker's settings tuned to maximum + patched asound.conf (mono playback volume in earpiece section), but still it's _not_ usable as a phone. :( I admit I didn't do extensive testing, but other people seem to have no real trouble with the volume, so I suspect more and more that the hardware itself is buggy... -- Regards, Alex _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
