I can't tell you how many times I've picked up my phone at night or in the morning (when its dark) and tried to press the ear piece instead of the home button.
Not rude at all. I removed the plastic screen and I still can just barely hear people in my car. At home it works great, or in the office... but outside, in the car, in a busy building... I find myself sticking my left finger in my ear and really having to concentrate to hear the other person.
To be honest my hearing isn't what it used to be. I'm a former Marine... I've been exposed to my fair share of gun fire without hearing protection and it's taken its toll. I'm not deaf by any means, but I do have a constant ringing in my ears I'll have for the rest of my life. But with my Moto Q this wasn't a problem, heck it was too loud on its highest setting.
This call volume thing is depressing and starting to make me angry. What is making me even more angry is that many of you are accepting it. Justifying it and rationalizing it. I just paid $600+ for a "revolutionary" phone. Why should I have to use a bluetooth headset so I can hear when a free phone will do the trick?
I agree. I had multiple discussions with friends and co-workers who warned me that you never adopt first generation highend gadgets and expect them to be flawless right out of the gate. While I agree this is something that should have been noticed and addressed before release, I'm sure a patch will solve my problem. I have two phones right now and for the next 12 months. I went into this with my eyes open and even though it sucks about the volume, I'll live with it until they fix it for me.
