in call volume

Does anyone else have trouble w/ in call volume? I have mine turned down as low as it will let me, but the volume is so high I can hold the phone away from my ear and still hear everything perfect. I've had the phone for about 2 months, and do not remember this being a problem until the last week or two.

Try a battery pull reset.  The droid X does have pretty good volume, sometimes I set the phone down and don't realize I don't have it in speaker phone mode.   However, when you are in the call and use the volume control it should turn it down to a modest level.

Wow, there's probably a lot of folks that would trade problems with you on that one...:smileyhappy:).

First, make sure that you are actually turning down the callers volume and not the ringtone volume. This is stupid obvious, I know, but it's worth mentioning.

If that doesn't do anything, take it to a Verizon store and compare it to a demo model, or better yet, there's bound to be an employee there with an X. Compare theirs with yours and if theirs is acting right, then something is wrong with yours.

Does the volume button do ANYTHING? Perhaps it isn't working properly.

Let us know how you make out on this.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention the obligatory battery pull and the factory restore option. Those might help. But I smell "hardware issue", if anything.

I wish I had your problem!! :smileysurprised:

 

Many DroidX users including myself complain that the volume (incall or otherwise) is not LOUD enough.  I just attended a DroidX user's class sponsored by my local Verizon store.  The first several comments out of the class attendees where complaints about low volume compared to their old phones.

 

The last few updates do not seem to have done much for this issue.  I've learned to live with it but am hopeful a fix is on the way.  My DroidX volume turned all the way up is only about 2/3 as loud as my old LG.  Of course that is merely a subjective assessment of mine.
