BigFlyer, and others: Could you PLEASE file a very simply lawsuit against Google Android for blowing your eardrums out.
I am presently in Sri Lanka and it would not have much weight if I filed from here.
Best case scenario would be a very small quick monetary settlement for you, along with a quick fix of this very serious issue.
I just nearly had my ear blown out due to a very loud ringtone that I have installed.
This issue is DANGEROUS, and needs to be addressed by google immediately!
