My iPhone Volume Experience!

Before buying my phone I was reading all the complaints about the low volume. This was the main reason I held off buying it till the end of July. I saw the 1.01 update posted which some said improved their volume while some said it made no difference. I decided to go ahead and purchase it and have used it now for a couple of weeks.
Overall I'm very pleased and glad I bought it. I was previously using LG phones on Verizon. If you make a direct comparison with those phones the iphone is quieter and by that I mean with the volume maxed out on both the LGs are louder. However I never used those phones maxed out, they would have been too loud with very distorted audio. If I compare the iphone's volume to the actual level I used on the LGs it's about the same and quite acceptable. One thing I've realized only recently is that if you change audio functions- ipod, speakerphone, blue tooth or the receiver on a call- the volume drops and can be adjusted up by the rocker switch. I had assumed that if the volume slider in the sound screen of settings was set to max all sounds would be at full volume all the time. This may be a design feature to protect your ears and/or speakers on the phone.
Once I realized this I make certain that I use the rocker to adjust the volume one way or another with whatever way I'm using the phone. I have found that in general call volumes are the same as I've been used to and interestingly depending upon whom I'm talking to I sometime actually decrease the volume. This may have something to do with the phones my friends are using. Most of the people I speak to say I sound more clear and distinct. I've been to two different Apple stores in my area and experimented with their phones and I've experienced pretty much the same thing with them.
The ringer volumes are definitely quieter on the iphone. On mine the two loudest are the old phone ringer and the digital one which is the loudest but also very annoying so when I use the ringer I use the old phone one. However 90% of the time I have it set to vibrate only. Speakerphone volume also has been good especially if I lay the phone flat on a flat surface such as a table top near me. I know that there are many people to whom the volume is unacceptable and that certainly was a concern of mine prior to purchase but based on my experience with my own and with the phones at the store I do feel confident that most of the phones have acceptable volume, if there is a software update that increases the volume great, if not I'm happy with where it is now. For those whose volumes are truly unacceptable I feel that it's specific to that phone and not indicative of an inferior design. For those who may have hesitated in buying the phone because of this issue as I did, I don't believe this should concern you.

I'm replying to my own message to (hopefully) add the text that is missing from the original post-hope this works.

Having a great iPhone 3G experience? You're not alone.

Given that this is a support forum, it's to be expected that it's primarily composed of people with issues with their iPhones. However, since several people in other posts have mentioned they are dropping by here to do some research before purchasing an iPhone, I thought I'd discuss my experience with a new Black 16 GB iPhone 3G.
Reception
Reading many of the posts in a few threads, I get the impression that people base their entire opinion of the iPhones reception on the number of bars the screen displays. This is a very flawed method. This [review|http://www.mobiletechreview.com/phones/iPhone-3G.htm] does a great job of describing why and is a must read for anyone considering a purchase. It's also a must read for those who think their iPhone is defective because it gets 1 or 2 bars while their buddy's Nokia gets 3 or 4. Basically it's up to the phone manufacturer to decide how many bars to display based on signal strength. Some phone makers, like Nokia, are much more generous with the bars than Apple is on the iPhone. The article I linked to uses actual signal strength measurement to compare and shows with identical signals the iPhone will show fewer bars than the Nokia. Bars do not tell the whole story when it comes to reception, and I'll describe my experience with the iPhone which backs up that claim.
I live in Pasadena, CA. With my original iPhone I got very average reception. In my office, the iPhone was all but unusable, and this was true of most people's phones. Around town reception was all over the place, but generally acceptable.
With the the iPhone 3G, things have improved. Around town I generally get 3 to 5 bars of 3G reception. In the Old Town area I've got 5 bars. Making calls is no problem, and the voice quality is far superior to my original iPhone. I've had no dropped calls and no service issue. In terms of data, the iPhone screams. Using this [speed test site|http://i.dslr.net/tinyspeedtest.html], I'm getting results between 920 and 980 kbps (1275 highest, 580 lowest). In the exact same spots, using my wife's original iPhone, we're getting 70-95 kbps, with several failed tests. That's a huge improvement!
Moving indoors, the 3G reception drops considerably. In my office, the iPhone switches automatically to Edge. However, unlike my original iPhone, I'm now getting good Edge reception in my office, usually 4 bars. Far more importantly, I can actually make and receive calls! At my home, 3G drops to 1 bar. However, I can still make calls without a problem. Data drops in half, with results between 390 & 550 kbps. This is still much faster than Edge however, but not as fast as areas with better reception.
Keep in mind that 3G reception indoors is expected to drop. AT&T keeps 3G on the 1900 MHz band, which isn't nearly as good as the 850 MHz band for penetrating buildings. For now, as there are far more Edge phones, AT&T is keeping Edge on the 850 MHz band. As this changes, indoor 3G reception will improve. I read in one of the other forum topics that one poster was furious with Apple and returning his iPhone 3G because he only got 1 bar of 3G service in his basement and he got 5 bars of Edge. He can be furious at Apple all he wants, but AT&T's 3G service, as currently implemented, isn't going to give you good reception in basements.
In my home and my office I have WiFi, so the 3G reception isn't nearly as critical as when I'm out and about. On the WiFi front, I'm happy to report that the iPhone 3G has improved range. I can actually walk out to my driveway, get in my vehicle, and drive away before losing signal. With my old iPhone, as soon as I closed the front door, the connection to my network was lost. This is a very nice, and unexpected, improvement!
GPS
GPS works great, and the "assisted" part really makes a difference. Using the GPS on the new iPhone is much, much more accurate that the old iPhone's methods of locating you. That's not a surprise, but what is surprising is how fast it locates me. Doing a side by side test with a Hertz Neverlost system, the iPhone pinpointed my initial location about 40 seconds faster than the Neverlost. That may not seem like much, but it feels like a long time when you're sitting in the car waiting to move.
+Creepy side note: I was playing around with the GSP in my house the other day. I zoomed in real close in Google maps and got right on top of my house. Walking from the back of my house to the front, the blue dot actually followed me. Yikes! I can't say why exactly, but it kind of bothered me. I guess I watch too much "24" and the like. :)+
_Speaker Volume_
The speaker volume is much improved with the iPhone 3G. If my old iPhone was in another room, there was a better than even chance I wouldn't hear it ring, even with the volume turned all the way up. With the new iPhone, I actually have to turn some of my ring tones down. Calls on the speaker phone are much louder with better clarity. I suppose it'll never be loud enough for some, but it's a big step up from the original iPhone and is just right for me.
_New Software_
As this is something available to all iPhone owners, I won't talk much about it, other than to say the app store is simply amazing. I've got 4 screens of apps already (some complete time wasters, some really useful) and the store just launched. With everything 1.0 atm, there are some bugs to be sure, but not as many as I feared. Most apps run great and are very addictive. My favorites include Loopt, Shazam, Pandora, Mobile News, Remote (best app if you have an AppleTV), Tap Tap, and iPint. I can't wait to see what the future holds!!
Battery
Battery life has been better than I had expected. I thought I'd have to charge my iPhone at least once, maybe twice, during the day. That's not been the case. If I leave the house in the morning with a fully charged iPhone, it's good for the entire day. This includes a ton of texting, music/audio book listening on my drive, dozens of calls, email, and web browsing. In fact, because it's so new and cool, I play with it much more than I typically would.
I've got a MobileMe account set up with Push. I get around 20 messages an hour pushed to my MobileMe account. When I wake up in the morning, there will often be 100 messages waiting in my inbox. I mention that to say that even with a lot of pushed email, my battery is still lasting a full day. I should also note that I'm on WiFi most of the day, and keep all services (3G, WiFi, Push, etc.) turned on at all times.
Issues
There are a couple of issues, which is to be expected with a new product and new software. I've run into the typing lag issue a few times. It's inconsistent however and not always present. I can usually text and type email without any lag, but if I'm on a web page and typing something into a search field, for example, it can get very laggy. This is something I expect to be fixed in a future software update.
The iPhone doesn't fit in my dual dock for my Apple bluetooth headset & iPhone and they aren't making a new one!!
Summary
I'm very happy with the new iPhone. It's everything I hoped it would be and then some. The 3G service is more than twice as fast for me than Edge, and has worked very well when I've needed to use it. WiFi range is improved. The ringer and volume is better. GPS works well and I will no longer be using a Neverlost system on my business trips. I recommend one highly!

Unfortunately many posts of people who claim to have no issues with their 3G iPhones sound pretty much the same.

Please note, this is not aimed at you, but a general observation.
If their Iphone 3Gs work great then all of them have to work great and those of us who have a really bad iPhone 3G experience are just too dense to use them, are one the wrong network, clueless about 3G or generally just technologically challenged dimwits who don't understand neither the wonderful world of 3G nor how beautifully the iPhone 3G works, even when it doesn't.
Again, I had more dropped and failed calls with the iPhone 3G in four hours than I had with My Nokia 6280 on the same 3G network in almost two years. The network is also very clearly not overloaded, since I never had another another dropped or failed call after yanking SIM card out of the IDoorStop 3G and putting it back into the Nokia.

Great iPhone 3G Experience - Andrew at Pacific Place in Seattle

I know that Apple and AT&T have been taking a lot of hits about the 3G launch, but we went through it today and I gotta say - it was flawless.
My husband and I arrived at Pacific Place at 5:45 this morning. We were about sixth in line when we got there, and the line started right next to the door of the AT&T store. By about 7:00 am, the line went into the garage, along the wall and almost, but not quite, out to the street. By 8:45 am, the line was halfway down the block.
At 8:55 am, the AT&T employees came out and did a bunch of cheering, which gave me the chance to see whether my favorite AT&T employee was working. My favorite's name is Andrew. He's smart, friendly, and no-nonsense. He doesn't sell you things you don't need, and he lets you know if he really thinks you are making a bad choice. When he's busy, he doesn't chit chat, he just gets stuff done. If it's not too busy, he'll take the time to go over cool things you can do with your phone that you hadn't thought of or he'll discuss the pros and cons of different accessories you're thinking about buying. I love him. When he recommends that I buy something, I don't really doubt whether or not I need it - he's always been right and I have never once felt "up-sold" by him.
Anyway, they opened the store at 9:02 am and as people were entering they were directed to go to specific AT&T reps. When we walked in, I asked if I could choose my own and then chose Andrew. True to form, Andrew had us out of there in five minutes flat - WITH a working iPhone 3G!! He didn't waste a single minute - as soon as we walked up and told him what we wanted (new iPhone 3g for me, transfer my old one to my husband), he had asked a runner for the phone and a sim card, and had our account pulled up in a hurry. Quick questions about the texting plan, answered our questions about transitioning, then he slapped down two covers on the counter, "Pink or black?" I chose black, it was in the bag, and we were out the door.
When we got home, we were able to get right on iTunes, synced everything up, and we were both ready to go.
I can't imagine a better transition from the old phone to the new one, and my husband is really excited to be an iPhone owner now. There were no problems at all.
I know that typically it makes more sense to post when there's a problem or a concern (happy people are too busy off being happy to bother posting), but I wanted to post this because it was such an easy and pleasant experience. Yay iPhone!

IPhone Volume

Is it possible to help me pass on some information to Apple. I think the iPhone volume needs to be raised, I use the Speaker Phone function every time I use it, I also think that the iPod function is too low, even when it is turned all of the way up. Please comment on ways to contact Apple. Is this even possible to do?

If you would like to leave feedback about the iphone, this link might help.

Why is my iPhones volume silent only between the hours of 8pm and 7am when the night selection isn't selected? How can I fix my iPhone 4 problem?

Why is my iPhones volume silent only between the hours of 8pm and 7am when the night selection isn't selected? How can I fix my iPhone 4 problem?

May be you have turned the DO NO DISTURB in your iphone settings.
Check as below DND settings
Settings>>Do Not Disturb
If you are iPhone is on version iOS 5.X there was a bug which does not let the DO NOT DISTURB function properly.
SO, its better you to latest iOS version 7.0.4, no other versions of iOS are signed by APPLE hence forth.

My sisters Iphone volume buttons do not work and the phone does not ring when she gets a call yet when she is in settings. What should she do?

Hi,
If it's Not the Silent Switch... Try a Reset of the Phone...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
Cheers,

IPhone volume - the roundabout answer

It's obvious what's going on here re iPhone volume. Have talked to 4 different Apple techs over the last 4 days, 2 of which said they never heard of the problem, another who admitted that it's a known issue within Apple, and another who very uncomfortably told me that they are not allowed to talk about whether or not this a a real problem with a sizeable number of iPhones. I put it another way to him and said, "Well, can you at least tell me that I won't be wasting my time if I take both my wife's and my iPhone down to the Apple Store for replacements?" He said that he'd make the call to my local store to set up the appointment. There you go.

Why do you waste so much time thinking about what you should do...If you think its a problem just return it...Many people have reported that thier volumes are too low...Problem is your most likely coming from a regular cell phone and used to really load volumes...This is more of a software issue than hardware...The ole treo sound was really low and someone put out a software app that boosted it 10 fold....There is nothing wrong with your phon!!!! If you return the phone you might have more issues with another along with having the same volume issue...
My phones volume is great and I often turn mine down...The ringers could be louder but that can be resolved with software....Im betting if you return it your new one will have same issues

My iphone volume turns down randomly own its own. It will turn up on the buttons, but will turn back down by itself and i have to fight the volume to keep it from muting. Plus, the mute logo stays on the screen when it mutes itself. Please help.

Unfortunately this is probably a hardware issue and you will need to take it to an Apple Store.

So even if I just ask to pay them to replace the lock button they won't because my screens are third-party?
Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement. They replace the ENTIRE device.
For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device. Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
Apple will not touch the device now. They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

IPhone volume not working and showing "Headphones"

When I try to change the volume on my iPhone it shows "Headphones" even if they're not plugged or connected via Bluetooth (I'm sure there's nothing connected) and behaves accordingly (e. g. playing audio only when there is a phone call). With headphones plugged in it works fine, playing normal audio on the headphones and phone call ringtone on the headphones and on the iPhone speaker.
I'm noticing this since I opened a game called "Dark Echo", that I've played only with headphones, without using headphones. The game says in the title screen "Headphones recommended". I don't know if this is the cause. I'm also pretty sure it isn't a hardware problem caused by dropping food or liquids on the headphone jack because the area around the jack is clean.
I tried restarting the phone, deleting the game, reinstalling the game, cleaning the jack gently with a microfiber cloth, plugging and unplugging headphones, blowing in the jack, playing media and changing the sounds and music settings.
My hypotheses are that it is an iOS 8.2 problem, a problem of the game or a hardware problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue and how can I resolve it?

I resolved this issue by cleaning the jack with a microfiber cloth, blowing and plugging and unplughing headphones again.

Iphone volume too low

When I am talking on the iphone, the volume is too low. This happened about a week ago and I can't seem to increase the volume.
I tried the standard things like raising the volume on the buttons. I also updated the phone to the latest version, and reinstalled the operating system.
Any suggestions?

Have you removed the...
I jest, I jest. But seriously, if the phone hasn't been dropped, mishandled or otherwise adulterated, it should be covered by your warranty, i.e., it's defective.
Are you near an Apple store? If no, there's an 800-number to call, but it escapes me. 800-MY-APPLE??? I can't say, really.
In the interim, you may find some useful info here, but maybe you've already been.
Godspeed...

IPhone Volume Control Problems

The volume control rocker switch on the side of the phone seems to have a problem. The slightest touch to the 'down' side and volume goes to zero. I even have times where I am depressing the 'up' side but not actually increasing volume because the untouched down side is decreasing volume. Has anyone experienced this before? Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve?

Try a hard reset and restore. If neither help, contact Apple and get it serviced.
1-800-MY-IPHONE
Hard Reset: Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down simultaneously at least 6 seconds (don't use red slider) until the unit shuts off. Then restart.

IPhone Volume Buttons: Too Coarse

I have "feedback"ed several times over the years that, under the Music app, the volume up/down buttons provide too coarse volume-control resolution. You get a total of only 16 steps to choose from, and I find that way too few.
Am I the only person who fells that way? If not, I recommend you also feedback that to Apple.
Presumably Apple's counterargument is that you can adjust with very high resolution using the slider control. I would agree with that sentiment, if people were using the app in the same way that they develop it – on a simulator running on a Macintosh, manipulating the control with a mouse. However, that does not work with thumbs on the iPhone itself, for two related reasons: First, the slider is tiny compared to the size of a thumb, so the precision is … muddled … by that. Second, and more importantly, as I remove my thumb from the screen, the slider setting almost always "jumps."
In short, the buttons are the only high-precision way to adjust the volume, and with only 16 steps total, they don't give us any precision to work with.
Also, there's almost no downside to making he buttons more resolute, because hitting a button is trivially easy. Finding the correct button? Effort=2/10. One click? Effort=0.05/10. Three clicks? Effort=0.15/10.

if (there exists a way to make the buttons change the volume more resolutely) {
   how?;
} else if (my description of my concern suggests that I'm using the buttons or Music app in general unideally) {
   tell me more;
// and either way...
if (you agree with my concern) {
   Please also tell Apple (http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html);

Why does the iphone volume randomly gets turned off/down.

Around 4-5 times a day I have noticed that the volume on my iPhone has been turned all the way down. Anyone have any suggestions what is doing it?

well i just did two test videos.
just like a while ago when I first encountered this issue.
take a video with the volume buttons up = upside down when played in VLC
take a video with the volume buttons down = normal.
such a shame when they released the feature to use the volume button as a shutter button.
this wouldn't be such a big deal if I could upload 1080p to YouTube from my phone. But NOOOO, but I have to first upload it to my computer, then upload it to YouTube, and thats where the problem comes to play.
so whatever. ill just have to remember to take videos with the volume buttons down.

My iPhone Volume Experience!
