You know, I think that was the problem. I haven't tried an alarm yet, but the volume was set to 12%. Oddly, I had change with buttons on, but the volume was still that low even though I used the buttons to turn the volume up to well past 12%. Oh well, hopefully this fixes it. I'll check my sister's phone later - I suspect the same thing is going on there. Thanks for the tip! On Oct 16, 2012, at 12:27 AM, Tim Kilburn <[email protected]> wrote:
