Default SPV M500 Phone Problems

Hi chaps,

I have a SPV M500 but for some reason it is very quiet when on the phone. In a busy street I can barely hear what the other person is saying. I have put the volume on maximum but still very quiet. Is there anyway I can make it louder?

Also, I can't figure out why the 4 buttons surrounding the cursor button locks from time to time preventing me making calls for no apparent reason but I can still use the cursor and the touch screen. This usually occurs after I've synchronised my phone or I have left it for a while.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Default volume slider

Just slide this button up during a call. You should here the volume going up

edit/don't know why image doesn't show, but click it and it does

thanks saldous.

always best to try the simple things first. What's it like on speakephone (hold down the (green)answer key).

Was it loud before? Tired a soft reset

Speaker phone works fine. Thanks I didn't know it is activated by holding down the green button! ops:

I've only had the phone for a week, its always been like this but just wondered if anyone knew how I could tweak it to make it slightly louder.

Would a soft reset wipe the memory etc?

soft reset doesn't wipe the memory; it's like rebooting windows.
Hard reset will wipe all memory, like formatting your harddrive (although windows is still there, but "reset" to factory settings)

Are you turning up both sliders on the volume control. There's one for windows and one for the phone.

There aren't really any tweaks to increase sound volume, but it's not very loud to begin with.
