Lol, stop breathing so loud then. Seriously, this phone is louder than my S2 and I have 3 different headsets that I have no problem with. I don't even turn volume all the way up when I have the headsets.

I have to say the only thing for me is I do not feel it takes good pics in low light, which it should for being what it is.

I only have 2. First, I can't find a way to restore my sms backup. Thought that would have been brought up somewhere but can't figure out why I can't find it in search. Second, for some reason, after I take a pic, I'll go to it, and the brightness will automatically drop a bit making the pictures look darker. Seems some pics have plenty of light plus the flash and still seem dark anyway. Weird. I tell ya though, this camera, in daylight pics, is freaking fantastic! Colors just pop. Even though my Sensation had an 8mp camera as well, it seems these pics are sooo much clearer and sharper, even when I zoom in.

Only annoyance I have is with the popping sound Everytime I play music. doesn't matter what player I use. hoping for an update soon that resolves the issue.

Anyone experiencing the brightness the screen dimming randomly? I'm not moving from a well lit place to another. But certain times it just dims and lights. I do have it as auto brightness... anyone experiencing that problem?

The stock email widget won't update automatically like it does for the Galaxy S II. You have to update it manually. This widget is pretty useless.

Annoying tring music just before the ring tone while making a call

I don't like the 2 or 3 second tring tone just before the actual ring tone while dialing out a call.

Go to call settings, call alert, call status tones and deselect call connect tone and call end tone.

I too wish there was a way to disable this feature.

I haven't played around with this yet although I did look into the camera settings and see night mode is still there from the Vibrant days. Are you saying using that setting the pictures are bad? In what way, blurry...dark?

I have a few more annoyances although two may be because of my own error. I set my phone on mute in the pull-down shade and it doesn't mute all sounds! Maybe there is a setting I'm missing somewhere. I don't like how the screen background is dark when you open the phone then slowly brightens. Also the phone is too large for me to use with one hand like I could with my Vibrant. I can't grip my fingers around it and work the screen with my thumb. Especially can't reach the home button. To get around this last one, I'm buying a Flygrip. If anyone can help with the first two, please chime in.

not getting the sound thru my car stereo like I did with my epic. The epic blows this thing out of the water as far as sound thru the head phone jack into auxiliary goes.

I can't change my volume on the lockscreen. Also, something in my credentials is making me have a medium to high security lock on my phone. I dont feel like clearing them every time i want change my lock.
Edit: Just discovered that having a VPN causes the credentials to require a lock
