IPhone 3GS mic volume

Hi,
Any idea how to (or is it possible) to adjust the mic volume on the 3GS? My callers have been complaining that I'm talking very softly, they can hardly hear me, even when I'm almost to the point of shouting. I switched back to my Sony phone and it's ok. Mic volume became worse when I use my Motorola H710 bluetooth headset with the 3GS.
Any help?
Thanks.

Good idea, but i'm sure apple doesn't allow applications to access something like that... i too have a major problem with volume being super quiet on speakerphone and earpiece phone. Even at full volume it is hard to hear people even when i am somewhere quiet, forget being able to hear people if i am somwhere even slightly noisy!
Phones should be designed so that when you are at mid volume it is good for 90% of all situations, turning it way up or way down should only be required for very rare noisy/quiet situations. Running at full blast all the time is crazy....

IPhone 3GS Mic Volume Low

Hi,
Whenever I am talking on my iphone 3GS (running 3.1.3) , the second party always tells me that I sound "far" as if I am talking from a tunnel.
Is anybody experiencing that?
Thanks,

I get the same problem with my 3GS. People tell me that I sound very quiet when I call them. I've recently updated to iOS 4.0.1 with no change.
I have to be honest and say that I'm not very impressed with my iPhone in terms of it being a phone. I generally have to turn off 3G to get decent reception and not get dropped calls. My contract lasts for another 12 months, but I'll be seriously considering a HTC phone running Android when it's due for renewal.

Iphone 3gs mic fault

need help with my iphone 3gs the mic has stopped working and is a contract phone on orange 13 mths into my contract apple want 120 pounds to repair it...

Don't quite understand what you need. If mic placement on the phone is the issue, it is on the bottom edge of the case. Since this was problematic, the product has evolved and now the i5 has three mics, two below and one behind for better reception and noise cancellation.
If the mic VOLUME is the issue, then you're gonna have to speak louder. The earpiece volume is adjustable, but the mic reception volume adjustment is automatic.

IPhone 3GS Audio Volume Decrease After iOS 5 Update

The Audio/Volume on my iPhone 3GS has Decrease SIGNIFICANTLY After iOS 5 Update. Oddly, the volume of the ring is fine, and as lout as it used to be, and as loud as all other audio should be, but when using any 3rd party applications, the volume output is significantly less (about 40% less) than it used to be.
I am NOT the only person to experience this problem. Apparently, the issue has been around since this past summer, when iOS was still being developed / tested. There is a post about someone experiencing the same issue, here:
http://modmyi.com/forums/general-iphone-chat/768919-ios-5-low-volume.html
And before you ask .. I did a language change and reset, and I am still experiencing the SAME issue.
Any help or advice with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
In advance, thank you.

I have a similar or related problem with iOS5/3GS and volume:

In my case I can hear nothing from the internal speakers although I can use headphones. The volume slider bar is unavailable unless I plug in headphones.

Iphone 3gs video volume

i have just bought a 3gs iphone.i dont know much about is feature.
my question is, when i make video it doesnot record volume. i come to know about it when i play video it plays video only no sound comes out.
please advise what i am doing wrong or is there any sound recording setting?
please advise
thanks

I restarted the 3GS as noted in other posts. I got marginally better volume on the recording. When playing in Quicktime and Quicktime 7, the volume is low, even when turning the player and computer volumes up. Ear phones help.
When playing the video in VLC Media Player the sound is acceptable - but it displays only Landscape.
I just bought a Joby Gorilla GS that holds the 3GS on its tripod. Cool! The case has a mounting attachment and they supply two additional adhesive clips. It is worth looking at. I have no relationship with any of the parties. I have been looking for a tripod mount for my Nano 5th Gen and my 3GS.

IPhone 3gS problem

Hey guys,
I've got a problem with an iPhone 3gS, the volume bar in the 'iPod app' doesn't respond properly, The bar moves but the volume doesn't change. Tried resetting and that didn't work. The only thing that worked for a short time was turning it off or syncing it. I then sent it in for repair and got a replacement but a couple of days later the problems came back and it's now alot worse.
Does anyone have a clue on how to solve this?
Cheers,

How are you listening? Via headphones, then internal speaker, or a dock? If it's a dock, in some cases output is controlled only by the dock system, not the iPhone itself.

IPhone 3gs Earphone, Mic and Earpiece Problem

i have a problem with my iPhone 3gs, the mic is working fine when that battery is on high percentage, but when the battery goes down the mic is not working well, it records like a grounded sound, also my earpiece, when doing a call i cant hear the person on the onther line using my earpiece but when using a earphone or a loud speaker mode it works fine.,
the problem on earphone is when i play music via earphone and make it on a maximum volume the phone is giving me a grounded sound,.
can anybody help me with this problem?
Thanks!

my problem is that i can barely hear someone when they call even though the volume controlls are set at high!!! i have the 3gs
my friends just a bought the same phone and they have the same exact problem! i brought it to the apple store and they pretty much blew me off. they tried fixing but they said everything is fine...
they are keeping secret about this!!!!!! many more need to complain for them to get a new speaker!!!!!!
i may consider returning the phone... besides that it is awesome!!!!!!

Is there an app to control the volume of an iPhone 3GS?

I have an iPhone 3GS and the volume keeps going all the way down once I plug the headphones in. Before this started happening the volume would go all the way up. Before that even started happening the phone would repeatedly try to shut itself off and I had to keep pressing Cancel.
I did buy the phone off of eBay used, to try and go on a prepaid contract once my current contract ends. On the case itself, there are some minor scuffs and such, it does look like it was opened at a time. It still works perfectly, except for the volume glitch right now. Is there an app that controls the volume to keep it from going all the way down?. People say in forums and such to tighten the screws on the bottom (which I tried), and to also open the phone and see if there is anything blocking the volume control thing (like dust or anything) but I'm afraid to try that with the risk of causing further damage. What should I try?.

to at least try and fix it if none of that works then replace it through apple

My iPhone is a iPhone 3GS. For some reason, the ringer becomes silent although I have put the ringer on full volume. Would someone kindly teach me how to solve this problem? Many thanks!!

Just to make sure... you have the phone in ringer mode right? Sometimes the switch on the side gets bumped (especially if you don't have a case on the iPhone) and goes into silent. If you see a orange line on the switch - it's on silent.
If the switch is fine (and isn't loose or anything) try restoring the iPhone in iTunes.
