The volume of my phone is down when receiving a call

Thanks for this. Phone successfully fixed! Just an additional note for people, I noticed my replacement part was missing a lot of the grey gaskets. There are a few of these under both boards, a few small square ones, and a very thin windy one under the bottom board. Not sure if required but I transferred these across to my new one using some tweezers to very carefully peel them off. Make sure you get the "glue" bit underneath to come up at the same time if you can, otherwise you may need extra glue to reattach them. Be careful transferring the volume buttons too, they need to be carefully taken off in the same way and reattached to the new one.
