Default Galaxy phone reception is bad for me :( :(

Hello everyone i have had my galaxy for awhile now and i dont know why i never posted this but phone reception is very bad. When someone calls me or i call someone i can hardly hear them, this is with the volume turned up to max.....is there a volume hack or something to turn up volume on inner calls past the max ?....anything at all would be helpful.

There is a way to turn up your volume but you'd have to do it every time you reboot your phone, just search the forums for it. I never had a problem with my galaxy s phones gt-i9000m and I had two of them. Maybe your phone is defective and you can exchange it?

are you sure you are putting the earpiece where it's supposed to go?

if you have it higher, you wont hear it, if you have it lower you wont hear it

it has to be exactly facing your inner drums

it's the same with all other phones i've had in the past

have you tried Bluetooth? perhaps that will work better for you?

my SGS sounds loud and clear, and i got bad hearing

Same problem with mine. I find it has something to do with the signal though. When I call OCTranspo or my voicemail or something it's loud and clear, but when I speak to people it always sounds like they're whispering.

the first 2 are recorded messages, so the audio quality is expected to be the same all the time

those are very good point of reference

that means whatever it is the problem is not the phone earpiece, but the people talking on their end

otherwise you'll be hearing whisper like sound from the voice recorded systems
