What determines the installation of a volume cap of 83% on my iPhone?

european iPhones have a lower line-output volume than US iPhones. they're simply not as loud as they "should" be when i'm listening with my headphones. this restriction is bound to EU because of some laws i don't really know a lot about (google helps).
by jailbreaking and modifying a certain file in the iOS, you can turn it up to 100% (or higher), and by entering this certain file (over iFile) there are a lot of abbreviations like DK, D, HN, F .. and so on, which are obvious european countries and all of them have this number of 0,82999999999999996 which stands for 0,83% of 1, so 83% from the normal 100% volume. when you change them all to 1 and reboot the iPhone, the volume output is much higher, the bass is better and it's simply how it should be and how i can imagine Apple wants the iPhones and the volume to be. it's easy, but i don't want to have my iPhone
jailbroken .. i want to accomplish this by not jailbreaking.
so i thougt a little bit about it and from my point of view there are just few possibilities:
to clarify, i'm from austria and i bought a carrier free iPhone 4, it's never been locked, direct from Apple.
1. iTunes knows where I am when activating the iPhone (hence being in the US = no cap) .. but .. what if I am abroad, let's say in Germany, and I have to reset and reactivate my iPhone .. it shouldn't be set then to the lower volume limit.
so my second guess was..
2. the limit is set by the SIM-card which activates the iPhone (US SIM-card = no cap) .. but .. what if I am abroad and have to reset an activate my iPhone  ... dadada.. same story.
3. the limit is set by my iTunes account, third and to me the most plausible way, since it's not limited to where you are and what you do, and it's the only thing which is ment to persist (one iTunes account for life, but more than one iPhone or SIM-card..)
4. (and for me the worst scenario) would be, that Apple is making different iPhones for different markets, but that's something i cannot imaging since it would be too complicated and to much work to do. almost all things at Apple and especially when we talk about the iPhone is automated. an example is that it shows you VPN or carrier settings to define only if your phone is locked, or for example it only shows you the option to use it as a mobile hotspot or make use of visual voicemail both only if your carrier supports these options.
i know this because i work for two carriers here in austria, 3 and Orange, and i know a lot about these things. the same is with replacements: when you send an iPhone to be repaired and they return it, i often got back an unlocked iPhone and was wondering myself just like the customer was wondering .. but after 2, or 3 days it locked itself (it happened twice myself with my private iphone, one 3GS and an iPhone 4!), so my assumption is, that Apple simply produces iPhones and a lot of things are managed afterwards, over the air or over iTunes when first time connecting to it.
also i cannot imagine, that for example if i'm from the US and i loose my iPhone in Germany, and i want to buy a new one there because i need it for my business, that i'm bound to this volume cap also if i'm not living there and return one week later to the US.
so a lot of assumptions there, does anybody know exactly what defines it and what's required to "trick" the iPhone or iTunes into not setting this 83% volume limit cap except traveling to the US and buying an iPhone there??

  • In C4: What determines the max number of slide one can successfully publish?

    Using C4.
    I am required by policy to use an original PowerPoint file. The total number of slide equals 72 (file size 38,201 KB when completed). The internal customer wants a "kicky" presentation based on her slides, so I must use some of the Captivate tools (e.g. zoom area, highlight box -- about the limit of my skills). And there must be spoken narration, not the text to speech feature. Total time for the 72 slides is 22.5 minutes when all is done. When published the narration is good, but the "kicky" part fails. Specifically some highlight boxes do not appear on many slides.
    I deleted the table-of-contents feature. The most unusual tools that I'm using are the certificate widget, and a page turning widget.
    I tried breaking the presentation into two parts. Part 1 was 58 slides and I experienced the same behavior. I've not tried part two yet.
    In the past, I practiced, on my computer, with the aggregator. Is this the best route? We have no experience hosting an aggregator project on our server. Are there any special concerns about doing so? (I'm not the person who does this. He is out of the office at this time). Would daisy-chaining be a better route? (if so, what is the best source for instruction to do this?)

    Again, I did not see the elephant in the room. I neglected to notice a default setting. Once corrected, everything works. My bad.
    But, I would still like to know what determines the maximum number of slides on can successfully publish without Aggregator or daisy-chaining.

  • What determines the address iCal email reminders are sent from?

    *What determines the address iCal email reminders +are sent from+?*
    On our g4 iMac, running Tiger, my wife has multiple pop3 email accounts. 6 to be exact.
    She only has one address listed in her address book, and that is her own main primary address.
    She recently started using iCal email reminders for reoccurring events. At first she was getting emails from her main address mailed to her main address. Works as planned.
    But recently, she is getting reminders emailed to her main address send from one of her other POP 3 email accounts. This is not desirable. She needs them to come from her main address, the one that is her primary account and is listed in the address book. She is not sure what caused this change or why.
    So the question is, what determines the address the email reminder is sent from and how can you change this to another address.
    THX

    Yes, that's what I thought too.
    There is only one address besides the "APPLE" card in her book, and that is her primary address, and unfortunately, NOT the one her reminders are coming from.

  • What are the installation steps for Oracle Fusion HCM

    Hi all
    I will like to ask, what are the installation steps for Oracle Fusion HCM as well as can it work on Windows or only on virtual machine?
    Thanks

    If you're looking to install Fusion HCM, your best bet is to install on linux, eg, Oracle Enterprise Linux. It's up to you whether you put that in a Virtual Machine or not. I don't think Windows is an available platform for Fusion Apps at the moment, although am prepared to be corrected if you find anything to the contrary!
    If you're looking to do an install on your own PC/laptop, you're probably out of luck - you'll be needing around 128GB of RAM. Check out this post:

  • What determines the file encoding for ${C:file.txt} = 'abc' ?

    What determines the file encoding for  
    ${C:file.txt} = 'abc'
    I'm always getting ASCII as the encoding for file.txt after executing that assignment.

    Thanks so much.   I'll keep looking for the MSFT doc on this.  I scanned Bruce Payette's book and did not find anything there.   
    It turns out to be one of those "by rote" things you have to learn about PowerShell.
    My concern about the lack of documentation is that MSFT might change the underlying code in the future to use Unicode and that might break some existing code.  If there was some MSFT provided documentation declaring ASCII as the intended encoding they
    might provide plenty of warning if they do a switch in encoding.
    I note also that if you try to write characters outside the ASCII set (see example below) that character substitution happens to find an ASCII character to use in place of the one outside the ASCII set.  In the example below a 'v' is substituted for
    the '√' character:
    ${C:xo.txt} = '√'

  • My iMac is showing the following 'What is the installer'

    Ater starting up a box is dispalyed saying 'what is the installer' and invites you to chose from a series of applications. Any guidance on what to do?

    You best option is to take it to an Apple Store or AASP for service.
    If you have backup then things should be fine. However you did not fill out your profile so we don't have a clue even what version of OS X is installed or the model iMac you have. Take it in for service!

  • What determines the default album pic for the "Artist" box?

    In iTunes, if you sort by Artist, and go to the "box view" so that each artist is depicted by a box.
    See image here: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/7840/48571715.jpg
    If an artist has multiple albums, what determines the default album shown in their Artist box? I've noticed it's not alphabetic... Does anybody know??

    It seems to be the most recently added. I could be wrong - I didn't check all my stuff, but the couple I looked at, the most recently added album is what's displayed.

    This was easy on my old iPhone 4S, on which (exactly as in outlook) you manually defined a time zone for each event - but this function no longer seems to work on my new iPhone 5S.

    I was just wondering what do the different color circles mean when I've located my iphone. So far I've seen a green dot with a green bigger outlined circle around it , a gray circle , a gray circle with a gray bigger outline around it , a real big green circle like the whole circle is dark green. I'm mainly just wondering can you tell if they are texting or using the phone at the time or if its on off or on vibrate is that what those different colors mean?
