Default Speaker volume 755p too low!

Hello to anyone who may be able to help,
I just got my Sprint 755p used. The first thing I noticed from going from a Motorola Q is that the volume when using the speakerphone is unbearably low. Under the System tab, I clicked on Sounds and set the volume for all applications to 7. I also maxed out the number of clicks on the left hand toggles. At the highest, it is usable in a quiet room. Placing it right against your ear is audibly clear but not loud. At medium settings, it is only audible if you place it right against your ear.

Does anyone know of a patch or something that could drastically increase the speaker volume?

Could my speaker be broken?

There are a couple apps you can add, volume care pro and phone technician... I suggest volume care pro, because it's a lot more stable in my opinion.

check out the trial version of vcp before you buy to see if this is what you are looking for

Thanks everyone for your help...I found that even with VC Pro on max boost, the sound that comes out is full of static and low volume.


Perhaps the speakerphone is broken?

I did a side by side comparison with a treo 755p at a store. The volume of their phone is at least several times louder.

It may very well be blown. do you have insurance on it? You may be able to get it replaced.

sorry no insurance, is there a way to open the phone?

the speaker volume is there, it's just that the volume setting of 1 seems like a volume setting of 0.1 and the volume setting of 7 seems like 0.7

maybe there is a loose wire?

I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was a windows mobile device... For sure not good times. There may be a way to fix it. Google, treo repair parts.

I've seen a site that has the parts and also youtube video of repairs. I'm sorry I don't recall the exact site. I just kinda look around sometimes to see what I can find and I found that for screens.

blue on black you are right the Sprint 755p is a palm device...I would ask sprint what it would cost to repair it...I sent my 650 to them and they fixed the treo and never billed me. (I had dropped the phone and the sound would no longer work)
