Speakerphone option is too low for practical use. Can this be corrected?

I have the iPhone 2G and the speakerphone really ***** (for lack of a better term). I'd like to use it more often but even on its loudest setting its barely audible. Can this be fixed without hacking? Is the 3G significantly louder? Thanks for any insight as I love the phone but may have to switch if this can't be resolved.

You will have to send feedback to Apple as this is a User to User forum.

I agree that the volume is to low for practical use, and the physical aspects don't help. The speaker is one of the tiny holes in the bottom, so you need to aim the end of the iphone at your face to make the most of it.

Low Battery - Battery too low for Radio use - And Curve will not Charge - HELP!!!

Need help and lost without BB. My BB displays Low Battery. If I try and make a call I get Battery too low for Radio use. I have tried to charge the BB but nothing happens and still cannot make call or charge unit. Tried charging overnight with car charger and A/C adapter. Tried removing battery for one minute and reinstalling.
Any ideas????

Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
When you are connected to the charger, do you see the lightning bold charging symbol displayed over or next to the battery indicator on the screen of the device? If so, then let it charge a while. A battery at less than 10% charge can take an hour or more to get just 10% higher, and then the charging will move faster.
If you are not seeing the charging indicator, then you could have a bad USB port.
If you connect it to your PC via the USB cable, does the BlackBerry appear to connect?

Too low for radio use at 50%

my blackberry 9360 with the newest update out when at 50% battery comes up saying too low for radio use then just suddenly goes from 50% to 0 in a matter of seconds as i watch it cant down faster than anything. i tried pulling battery out when fully charged with charger in but still not working how do i fix this?

Oh...sorry...I think I was not clear..."known good" and "new" are not necessarily the same thing. While rare, a new battery certainly can be defective. Plus, finding someone with an identical BB without these same problems, and trading batteries, is certainly a less expensive method for carrying out this test. Again, sorry about not being clear on that point...
Anyway, refer:
KB14320How to maximize free space and battery power on the BlackBerry smartphone
It is really quite impossible to predict the "normal" consumption rate for any individual user -- each person is unique, and will demand a different level of resource consumption from everyone else. To me, the key is to determine what is normal for your usage patterns...and then become concerned when things deviate from that.
It is also always important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.
Further, anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure. Some have taken to doing this on a regular basis as a preventive measure...some as frequently as once per day. Others have obtained the QuickPull app to automate a simulated Batt-Pull.
Good luck!

Blackberry curve 9320 batt too low for radio use

I have had this fone since june and have constantly had probs with the battery life.its now sayin battery is too low for radio use even when there is half a white bar.keeps cutting out during calls.I've constantly got to do a battery pull!any ideas??

Hello guys,
I found the solution! I have 2 9320 and both developed this problem after 5 or 6 months. Battery too low for radio use even if nearly fully charged. I tried everything what described here- battery pulls, soft reload, deleting apps, pulling battery out with charger connected- nothing worked- just dont waste more time. The solution is easy and its not software problem! Just open your phone- if you dont know how check on youtube so you don't damage your phone and simply clean battery connector in a place where it is touching the mainboard. My bb board was black in that place- came off easily and connectors on mainbord looked like new after. I used zippo lighter fluid and clean cloth. Since then no problem on both my blackberries- never switched radio off again with battery not beeing red. I think there was not enoug power flow through this connector causing me going crazy. Now my blackberries are amaizing again! Hope it helps!

Battery too low for Radio Use - Even on Full Charge

Off late I have been having an issue with my BB Curve 9320, even when battery is fully charged, at the time of checking SMS, BBM Messages or Whats App Messages, the phone show up with "Battery too low for Radio Use" And put off the wireless services off the phone. Once I exit the applications the phone turn back on an continues to work as normal, untill I launch BBM or whats app again.
I had given the phone to the Blackberry service centre for this problem, they kept it for a week and gave it back to me today saying the problem has been fixed, however am still getting the same problem.
My phone is still underwarranty, please suggest what needs to be done.
Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Given that you've already begun formal service for this issue, I recommend you continue with that. After all, they said it was fixed, but it's not...don't you want to challenge them on that fact?
Good luck!

"Battery too low for radio use" - Curve 9320

Since early on my curve 9320 has given me a "battery too low for radio use" warning at very random moments often times when the battery is still halfway into the white area. Sometimes this can be reset manually in the setting by turning radio back on, however this does cut into calls, messages and other activities.
I have changed the battery recently thinking this was the cause of the issue, however this did not help. I am still getting the error...not to mention the short battery life of this device...this is very frustrating.
Is this a common problem and if so how is it solved? Any help is appreciated!
BV

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

Battery too low for radio use

When the battery level falls below 15% on the Blackberry, the radio automatically shuts off. Can someone tell me why you cant turn the radio back on again until the charge level is over 15% again, even if you supply external power to the device? Also, when the radio shuts off below this level, I have found that I have to manually go back in and turn the radio back on again after the charge level is sufficient -- sometimes I forget to do this after putting the phone on the charger and I end up missing calls, SMS, etc.
Why wont an external power source allow the radio to remain on?
Thanks,
Rick

Hi and welcome to the forums!
when the charge falls below 15% the blackberry goes into survival mode, and turns off all functions not
considered "life support" the radio being one. Unfortunately the switches/options do not automatically
recognize the new power level (not connected) and do not reset the options. You will have to
reotption the radio when this happens. You may want to check the age of your battery and
replace. Here is a link about power management

ICal is too slow for practical use and crashes after it is opened

I am using an iMac G4 with OSX10.4.8. iCal is so slow that it has become impractical to use. Every click takes at least a minute to complete. Moving from the daily to the monthly view takes at least 3 minutes. I have discarded the plist file from the user library and it did not help. Any idea what is going on? Safari also suffers from the same slowness problem. I no longer use it. Have switched to Firefox.

I was having the same problem and it started after I upgraded to Tiger. After trying all the solutions, I discovered the problem with my iCal, which might not be the same for yours.
I was trying to sync with Entourage. I only had about 5 appointments on there, but once I deleted that calendar and unchecked the Sync to .Mac under preferences.
Now it runs SUPER fast. So it may be a problem with one of the calendars that you've created.
Good luck.
Thanks!

How do I make icons bigger? All icons are way too small for speedy use. no matter what I do they remain too small. Is there a way of getting them the same size as previous versions?

All icons, such as refresh page, back, forward, stop and home etc; are just too small for comfortable use. For now I am uninstalling Firefox 4 and going back to 3.x. even the zoom page icons are too small.

"I had read that GarageBand or the Musical Typing there can sometimes not display properly when the resolution is changed."
Well, did you checked GB after you changed your resolution?
Which setting did you change to?
You & I have the same size iMac screen. My resolution setting is 1280x800. Everything fits perfectly in the windows & on desktop including the menu bar.
All info in my windows are showing. I did not need to adjust my browser font size settings. I am sure you are aware of the browser font size settings. I use FF & the settings are in Preferences>Content.
In the Finder window you can enlarge the icons & fonts also.

Blackberry 9320 broken,9360 on the same route due to "battery to low for radio use" etc

My previous blackberry 9320 ,which I can't use anymore, aswell as my 9360 that's on the same route as the previous one started out in the beginning with
-battery to low for radio use(which I would turn back on)
Later my memory card couldn't be recognized, after some attempts of "fixing the broken files" as the phone would say, and then "repairing failed"
Problems got worse ,as if I allready can't use a memory card because all 3 got broken somehow,but after that it started saying "battery to low for radio use" then my battery would in a matter of seconds drain and then a message I get atleast 30 times a day "battery drained,shuttingdown handheld". It gets worse, then it says the same message ,but only this time the battery is full, because the phone must be pluged in too a charger to be able to start, and as I call it, then has to be on "life-support"(charging like 24/7). These problems seem to be activated by high radio use or just plainly to irretate a person. I'm very dissatisfied with blackberry and I seek answers. now here comes the catch, I took my previouse blackberry,the 9320, in 2 times to get the software updated and the last time they couldn't say why this is happening , aswell as try putting another(new) blackberry 9320 battery in the phone. It worked for 3 days,no kidding, and the same problems in their stages began.I fear my blackberry 9360 is on the same route and I'm dissatisfied with these products for its expensive and causing trouble. Please help me resolve this problem ???p.s both phones were newly bought since they are contract phones.

I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?

It would "run" (more like Sunday stroll or walk) if you installed Snow Leopard in a VM. Especially if you have 6-core (and would help to have 6 or 8 cores anyway if you were able to and intend to make best use of nMP for video editing).
If you "classic" Mac Pro was 2009 or later, adding two AMD graphic cards, upgrading the processor to 8-core 3.xGHz would have gotten you a FCP-X capable machine and still dual boot and use Snow Leopard as needed.
Any Mac Pro can now use 1000MB/sec SSD PCIe blade to boot from and/or for scratch and editing to help improve work flow.
