I use QtMoko v14 on a buzz-fixed US GTA02 rev A6. I needed to increase the mic gain in gsmhandset.state and learn to hold my FreeRunner so the mouthpiece is close enough to my mouth for people to be able to hear me well and the earpiece is close enough to my ear for me to be able to hear them well. It took months of frustration of me not being able to hear people and/or them not being able to hear me, but I seem to finally be used to holding my FreeRunner in the ideal position. Troubleshooting call volumes seems to be very difficult because there are so many variables: volume settings on phones, the way people hold their phones, different form factors of phones (I did not have these problems with my Nokia 6103b, which is a clamshell phone, but the FreeRunner is a bar phone, so call volumes are more sensitive to the phone position), handset versus speakerphone versus headset, etc. For example, when I call some call centres, such as Volkswagen Canada, both parties sound quiet to the other, but when I access my Fido voice mail, the voice menus are so loud they sound like I am using speakerphone when I am only using the handset. To conclude, I suggest increasing the mic gain (I can find the details if you need them.), then calling someone and asking them how well they can hear you when you hold your FreeRunner differently until you find the ideal position, then try to always hold it that way. Of course, if there is a better way to get satisfactory and consistent call volumes on QtMoko, please tell me! :) _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
