Droid 2. Low Volume when receiving calls

[bear3351]

I had this phone for a week,

It happened the first day I got it. Someone called and when I answered, I could not hear what they were saying, (it was almost like static noise) I was told later that they could hear me fine, I thought I messed up something while playing with the phone, I had to turn the phone OFF and then turn it back ON, and then it was fine.

Today it happened again, I received 2 calls and I could not hear them. Again I had to turned the phone off and on, to make it work.

I am thinking, maybe I trigger something when I press the screen to answer the call??? I re-check all my settings and they all seem OK. What could male this happen?

Is there an easy fix to this problem? Otherwise this thing is going back.

It's a good thing I kept my old phone!

check your "in call volume".

you could try dialing *228 and option 2, but not sure if that'll help.

Yes, I did check the volume while I was trying to talk/listen to the caller and the volume was all the way up. I saw the red bar all the way across.

I am a little frustrated 'cause I just spent the weekend filling in my calendar appointments in this thing.

Hopefully one of you guys knows what is going on with my phone, and can tell me how to fix it. Thanks

could be a blown speaker...

if i were you i'd just take it to verizon to get it exchanged, but maybe someone else has a solution

LOW VOLUME in ear speaker durring calls

I've searched the web high and low for an answer to this issue: During calls, incoming or outgoing, the in ear speakers volume is so low its unusable. The speaker phone works fine, we're talking about the piece you hold to your ear. I've cleaned it, I've checked ALL the settings, I've done a manual reboot, I've taken the battery out while in use, I've done a factory reset, i've even had my ears checked and cleaned to prove it wasn't human error. I found a friend who had the same DROID 2 and compared call volume to find his was a lot louder. I brought it to Verizon and they sent me a "like new" one in the mail. The volume worked fine until about a week later, when the volume went quiet like my first phone. This is where I'm at now... I don't want to keep bringing my phone in to get a "new" one every week. It leads me to believe that I may be using an app that interferes with the phone programing? I don't root my phone or anything, but somebody has to have a better answer for us aside from "blown speaker" or "use a BT headset (this doesn't fix anything on the phone)". Somebody has to have an answer for why so many of these "expensive" phones keep failing
