Two days now and I still cannot figure out how to increase the volume

for phone use. I can barely hear the party I am attempting to converse

with.  Help please 

[logicman]

So are you saying that when you are on a call and you use the volume control to raise the volume, the call volume does not increase?

[sidporters]

You are correct my good man.  I have the ringer volume set to it's highest level

and I am assuming that is the same for voice.  I just took a call and while talking I

could lower the volume using the same bar but I could not raise it to a level where

i could easily hear and understand the caller.

Maybe the caller was using a crappy iPhone.  I am not having any issues with call volume. As meister said each function (ringer, call volume, media, etc.) has its own distinct setting.

[sidporters]

Thanks for your input.  I did not know the volume control bar works for all

the different settings as you go into them,  i appreciate everyones response

Yeah, the volume switches work seperately for whatever application you happen to be in, whether it's the media app, messaging or phone. It's nice, but sometimes a "master" volume would be cool.

[sidporters]

Another challenge.  How do you delete records of earlier calls from the call log?

[y0diggity]

You can delete them individually by pressing and holding the record until the menu pops up, then select "remove from log". Or you can delete the whole log by pressing the menu button while looking at the whole list. You can also go into the settings and tell the phone how long to keep the logs.

Hope that helps.

that is great   thanks so much

As a general rule, when in doubt, touch and hold. Many user interface objects have pop up menus that can be accessed with touch and hold.

Go onto the market and download and app called Volume Control. This small programs allows you to see the levels for all the volumes, as there are like 4-5 different ones on the phone. Works great.
