I assume you mean Qtopia 4.3.3... However I've had the same problem. With the Speaker Playback Volume at 100 (that's default, and 79% of maximum) the volume is incredibly low, low as in the person you're speaking to is indiscernible unless you're in a perfectly quiet room and listening very

This is probably the negative effect of Glamo bandwidth constraints. All of your examples have some kind of heavy graphical action. If SD Card is being accessed at the same time it'll also make it sluggish. Glamo has the undeserved unique ability to force the CPU to wait for it, and it

Does this scenario work well for S Media? No. Their NDA-happiness does seem very stupid, as they don't seem to have much of an edge against the bigger players besides their lack of overt hostility to free software development. (Okay, possibly cost, but I wouldn't know about that.)
