Hi,

I got one problem with my new iphoone. I can't hear the voice (@the sound level is too low) when I make a call or receive a call. the sound level is at max!!Is there any way to increase the sound level? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I'm having problem if used with headset with the call, other's are OK for me.

I hate apple


Does anyone else have the same problem?

did u remove the original plastic cover when you get your iphone?
did you install volume booster from installer?

I did both of them.

poke the speaker hole

google it

man, u r inviting trouble by putting such a bold statement

the ringtone volume is very low also at the max setting..

i have same problem as you with the headset for phone calls. but for music, it's darn loud... so when i using headset while driving, suddenly if got msg or other system sound, it will sound so loud...

showing our dissatisfaction is our right, as customers. You don't really want to spend $500 for a defective product.

Any help is appreciated.

errr.....if u already install the volume booster means u got a defective products laa..or u can try to restore ur iphone and install the volume booster again.mine's working fine,the sound's ok after i install the booster.tried using the handsfree,also good.the sound's very clear.

Actually its not recommended using the volume booster. Later it will spoil the speaker. Just poke a few holes at the speaker .. but not to deep. Just enough to break the membrane covering the hole.

@rikimaru00
Did u take out the plastic that cover the iphone screen? I help someone last night and he complaint the same thing and infact the plastic cover is still intact. If u did took it off then maybe u can try to reset all settings and reboot the phone. Hope that helps.

Yea. Some people didn't realize their mistake and then blame.

guys it is true if we poke the speaker, after a long time the dust will go in under ther screen..? as someone at other forum said it will make the dust go under the touchscreen...

i dun care if dust go in into speaker, but if the dust go under the touch screen, it will be very annoying..

My volume is very soft too but I havent removed the screen plastic..But how does that affect the volume since the speaker is at the bottom? Sorry for my noob question

They are referring to the speaker above the screen, the one you would use to listen to calls when you place the phone next to your face, not the bigger one at bottom

i'm good now

Good for you!

Mind to tell others what did u do to solve it?

There are actually 2 ways: Change the sound settings .plist cause the default sound is at 6.9999995 and you can change it to 9.9999995. You can hear the difference. You can also use needle to poke the speaker grill cause there's a piece of grill that blocks the sound from coming out much so you poke a hole to break the grill so the sound is more expose.

Actually I'm refering to TS situation as in the earpiece volume and not the speaker. Anyway thanks for the tip. You should post it in the tips and trick section.

off the topic, but i will follow up byte's post.


i think changing the sound settings from the plist is a bit on the dodgy side frankly speaking.


back to my previous entries on iphone version 6, i did mention that a fellow customer had his diagram blown off as result of using the app to amplify the volume output. not recommended for us, as our iphones r not really covered by the warranty. a very simple explanation to this; our speakers is obviously not built to take that output capacity and strain.

therefore, piercing holes (on strategic locations-beware!) would prove to be a better alternative. coordinates are important to prevent tiny dust particles from entering the touchscreen portion.

hi may i know which strategic part of the speaker should i poke holes? my prob is when answering calls cant hear anyting thru the earpiece speaker. but on speakerphone its fine.

thanks

did u remove the original screen protector?

to obtain a better understanding, try googling for images of dismantled iphones. they will tell you precisely where to poke

i dont think its the screen protector cos never had this problem before. only happened yesterday. so must be either a software or hardware problem.

thanks

Added on June 8, 2008, 9:44 amOK GUYS!! did a google and it seems most of the time its because when playing itunes or whatever on the iphone with the earphone jack, and we unplugged the jack while playing, the earpiece is disactivated. To get sound again, just plug in the earphone again while playing then stop the music and unplug the earphone. do this a few times, and should work.

thanks for the help u all ))

^ thanks for the tips even i never encounter the situation. havent playing music with earphone yet

thanks

hmm, as far im concerned for most ipods. the song will automatically be paused prior to the removal of the earphones.

Sorry for being off-topic. But I just want to ask any iphone users here experience having the bad condition of speaker? Where if you open some song, u can hear the 'exploding" or 'bursting' sound from there speaker.

the speaker is mono...thats why the quality is bad...
if u try listening in softer volume still ok...for me at least...

And sometimes i also feel that the volume is too soft despite having turn it to the max. And i tried installed this thing called volume booster but no difference
