Let me get the technical out of the way first. This will help.

8700c on Cingular. Cingular Theme running. I have successfully paired my device via bluetooth to a 2006 BMW 325i and it works flawlessly in every area accept one.

My phone will work fine, no problems whatsoever and then suddenly the ringer volume seems to be really really quiet, this lasts a few days, sometimes weeks and then goes back to normal. I've had 3 replacement phones and this happens on every one. In the profiles I have it set up on the highest volume, same thing. Try again with medium volume, same thing. Turn off exceptions, on exceptions, tried different sounds, with vibrate, without, etc etc etc same thing, its always super super super quiet. Whats weird is that if I goto profiles the ringer I select is LOUD but the second I get a call its almost inaudible. The only other person I know experiencing this has the exact same setup/scenario and is also using a 2006 BMW(M5, although I don't think it matters since they're the same system). Anyone have a similar experience or any suggestions? right now its just like luck when it comes back to working, I just try not to take it for granted because I know any day it'll go right back as it has so many times before.

thanks
Evan

Have you tried the speaker phone cure? Make a call using the speaker phone feature and right before hanging up roll thr volume to max. Or you could upgrade to another carriers later version of OS, which cures this bug.

Hope this helps.

It does sound like the speaker phone issue which is common to a lot of Cingular 8700c's. You can either use the speaker phone workaround or upgrade the OS on the device.

Do a search for bharti upgrade, seattle walks you through it step by step and you should be able to fix that issue with the new OS...

Well, let's give the guy the link. (It only takes a moment of my precious time...)
Bharti or Tesltra will fix the problem.

Dude, what's with the BLC pic? The board will have to take action on this.

Thank you much, the speaker phone fix worked. I'm hesistant to do a OS upgrade since last time that landed me in a ton of trouble and I'm on a mac so no BB desktop manager.
I appreciate the help

Holy Crap that speaker phone cure sure did work. People will now have heart attacks when they hear Yakety Sax being played at full blast. Believe me i didn't think the speaker phone could be that loud, but it is.
in case any of u wonder. Yakety Sax is by Boots Randolph also made very popular by the late great Benny Hill. Some of you may be a little to young to remember him. Amazing guy and show.
thanks for the fix

Upgrade your OS and don't worry about this bug, plus get the zen theme. See my tips doc or the Themes forum.
