Sudden decrease is sound volume

I have been searching this forum for awhile now, 1st post btw, and I have seen alot of complaints about the iPhone's low earpiece volume. I thought it was just me or I had a bad unit, but I see that this is not the case. I love my iphone, but if the sound volume issue isn't resolved I think I might go back to my old phone and just buy an ipod touch. There is enough tech in the iphone so call volume should be a non-issue in my opinon. Hope Apple or AT&T address this problem soon.

Did you check to see if there's any dirt/debris plugging the ear speaker port? If not, go through the routine troubleshooting steps as discussed in the User Guide: Reset phone, reset settings, restore in iTunes from backup, restore as a new iPhone.

If none of this helps, there may be a hardware problem that requires evaluation by an Apple technician. Make and appt. with an Apple Store Genius Bar.

Send feedback to Apple... http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html. I just did.
