The #1 G1 flaw that should be fixed ASAP is that the phone rings and plays audio notifications at full volume (if that is what your ringtone is set at) when you are wearing the headphones.
Why should this be priority #1?
Because it will very likely cause hearing damage! I listen to my music at a fairly low volume, but I typically keep the ringtone on max. It is difficult to remember to change the ringtone volume every morning when I listen to music. Furthermore, it sort of defeats the purpose of Locale and affects the utility of Power Manager.
This bug should be fixed before angry deaf people storm Google headquarters!!!
A possible solution: My previous phone (Sony Ericsson w810i) would not ring when the headphones were plugged in. If you were listening to music, the music would simply be paused and then you would retrieve the call by pressing the headset button. I suggest a) the same method for handling calls and b) not playing notifications or playing an extremely low volume notification sound while one is wearing headphones.
