are all these phones really quiet or is it just me? I had a SE w600 and that thing was loud, u could hear it outside, in the car etc. with the 903 its a stretch to hear it inside the house at full volume.

is there any kinda fix for this or is it firmware based or is it just me?

Nope, that's the thing with 903 (all firmware). It's really quiet, and it's my only real major gripe about it. Turning off the Surround helps minimally, but I do stress, minimally.

interesting, u would think a japanese based phone would be pretty loud considering the amount of people and noise pollution in japan, maybe people there can hear better...guess I gotta amp up my mp3s

Yea the 903 is pretty pathetic sound wise. 3D sound is useless since it makes it even quieter.

My guess would be the opposite, CyniKal.Mindset regarding that it is a Japanese based phone and it being pretty loud considering the amount of people and noise pollution in Japan. In Japan there are a lot of places where you can't have your phone turned on or it is rude for the ringer to go off in some public places. You hardly ever hear ringtones going off here. Just imagine being on a packed train and everybody is chatting on there cellphone and ringers are going off. It's way louder on the skytrain in Vancouver compared to the trains here in Japan with way more people.

interesting point...guess they have noise pollution restrictions because of all the existing noise pollution...point taken

hrm.. you guys really find it that quiet eh? mayb ei got used to it.. but yah.. when compared to a razr v3.. its quiet.

but since i'm at work most of the time.. i've got my phone on silent most of the time.

the only way i can get it a little louder is to link the surround to sound

Do you mean turning off the surround for playing music only or can you turn off surround for ringtones too?

Posted by: yis903unposubl

you can turn it off for ur ring tones too.

it helps MINIMALLY. to the point you'd only really notice it, if u switched between the two really quickly. lol
