Low Ringer Volume

Recently I noticed that my Droid's ringer was almost inaudible even though I had it set to the highest volume setting. I played around a little and found that playing music was also extremely low (volume wise). I thought that maybe my speaker was damaged, but turned on the in-call speakerphone and bam, loud as hell! So, I did some quick searching and found plenty of people complaining of the same issue.

It looks like a lot of people are pointing to using headphone with the Droid as the culprit, but not everyone. I think it is probably a little more flakey then that, but fortunately, the rumored Dec. 11 OTA firmware update seems to have some fixes mentioned for "volume issues". Kudos to Verizon for getting this out in the first place and huge props if this fixes the problem.

As for a fix now, just pop out the battery and reboot.
