What move to make for iphone speaker volume

I have been reading all kinds of goods and bads about the iphones speaker volume over the last week. Yes ipod sounds good to me (Not to where I would ever wanna listen to it in speaker mode.) And NO, my speaker phone does not sound good. Way too low. Im starting to wonder if the people in the forums are saying theirs sounds fine because they have only tested it where there is silence. I'm not looking to be able to hear any speaker phone in the middle of a crowded bar, but I can not even hear it when it is all the way up and sitting beside me in the car, with the windows up. I find myself grabbing it and putting it right near my ear. So....... has anyone determined if this is a software issue or a hardware issue? Should I be bringing my iphone back or wait out the software update? I am surprised that with the release of the phone and all the questions being posted there is no portal for apple employees or techs to address some of these questions like a faqs page targeting some of the consistent questions over the last week. And don't get me wrong I love my iphone and i am not amongst the crew of people in these forums bashing it. Never owned a blackberry or treo or any of that stuff. I said years ago i will purchase something like that when apple puts one out. Never owned a pc in my life and I embrace this phone.

has anyone determined if this is a software issue or a hardware issue?
I assume since the iPod is capable of putting a fair bit of volume through the earpiece that it's a software problem. Have you turned-off volume limits in Settings?
Should I be bringing my iphone back or wait out the software update?
Tough call, if you're trying to decide by the 14 day window. Call Apple under warranty service, tell them if they can't guarantee a volume fix you're going to have to return the phone?
You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

    If you are on a previous level to update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

  • IPhone speaker volume unequal for each speaker

    This is weird; the volume on my left iphone speaker seems much louder than on my right one. Is there a balance control somewhere? I cover up the right speaker and hear no difference; cover up the left; and I block 95% of the sound....
    Normal? Not?

    The only "grill" or opening on top front face is the iPhone's earpiece, which is nothing but an earpiece. To the left of the earpiece located underneath the glass is the iPhone's proximity sensor and light sensor, which doesn't have an opening through the glass.
    The iPhone has a single speaker - always has - with the first generation or original iPhone, with the 3G, and with the 3GS.

  • Increasing iPhone Speaker Volume - Silly but it works

    I was watching a movie on my iPhone and I discovered a simple way to markedly increase the volume of the iPhone speakers. As we all know the iPhone speakers are on the bottom of the unit. When operating the iPhone in the landscape mode the speakers are then obviously to the right.
    While watching the movie and holding the iPhone someone asked me a question and I moved my right hand which was partially holding the iPhone (my left was holding the other end obviouysly). The speaker volume went down considerably. With my curiosity in full gear I began playing with the placement of my right hand on the iPhone (the speaker end). By putting ones fingers under the right end of the iphone and cupping the palm slightly towards you you will find the volume increased considerably. I also tried this with the speaker phone on calls and the same effect was noticed.
    Try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    wow, that's a pretty cool tip! I'll have to give it a try.

  • What charger to get for iPhone?

    Hi!
    Recently I bought iPhone from USA, it came with american wall charger, it seems to me it's not original. I live in Europe and want to get a replacement, but I can't find original one for reasonable price. My question - can I use non-original charger for iPhone or charger for another phone, for instance htc tc-e250? Is it safe, won't it harm my phone? What model to choose? What's cheapest good charger?
    I know I'm far not first to ask this question, but I could not find good answer. Please, Geniuses, answer me!)

    I can't find it for less than 30-40$, no too good price. I bought 3GS for about 110$ )
    Well, it's your phone and your risk. Again, $30-40 is less than paying another $110.

  • What is Proper settings for iPhone? 640x320?

    Also, what program can anyone recomend for converting Video DL'ed on my Hard Drive and for DVD to iPhone? I was trying to use imtoo but it crashes everytime. I have an XP system and a new iMac. I hear alot of people talking about Wondershare. I want my video to look the best it can and I heard that the iPhone has a differnt size ratios than the ipod. Thanks for the Help.

    The layout set you choose here normally just applies to the exact iView you are currently in, so it is tight to the current folder as well as the iView you are using to see its content right now. Using another iView to display the content of this folder might use a different presentation. But if you want to make sure that this folder is presented in a certain way in every iView (e.g. if you want to show a picture folder always with a thumbnail explorer), then you choose "Use Settings for All iViews". But be careful: this is really sticky -- you won't get rid of it easily if the chosen layout has no "Details" link to the parent (e.g. an HTML renderer). In this case you can only reset this setting with the administrative "Folder Settings" helper under "Content Administration/KM content/Tools"...

  • IPhone Speaker volume is 50 % lower then new

    Hi guys
    My iPhone main output speaker is not loud. I got a new iPhone for my brother and his is 50% louder then my own when are volumes is full up.
    Is it hardware or software problem. I have it from day one June 29 works well and has not been drop not once. I try everything to fix it but still same problem

    With the variety of iPhones I have access to (mine, wifes, friends, co-workers) we have all noticed differences (like I mentioned). And me and my friend both were there day 1 and both of ours were the same (like my wifes first). When he got a new one (as he was stolen) it saw/heard differences. Then my wifes new one is like his and mine is clearly different (day 1 phone).
    In the generic sense, hardware is the same as there is a speaker, x abount of memory, attennas, etc...but a different brand of speaker while different, can allow Apple to say there have been no changes in the general sense of the statement.

  • What are the settings for iPhone, iPad and iMac to sync ical and contacts?

    How can I get all three items to sync? What are the settings on the iMac with Lion on board? I put all my stuff on iphone but iMac & iPad do not have the items synced even though I have everything on icloud?

    They're asking a question about carrier settings for their iPhone. I think that has everything to do with Apple.
    Maybe they did already ask Straight Talk. I've called Straight Talk before... they're not too helpful.
    You know, this forum would be much friendlier if people in this forum would quit squabbling, & posting comedic replies, not too mention name calling (like I did), when people are just needing some help.
    It's also frustrating that people stick up for the guy who doesn't help, but rather takes the time to post some smart alec reply. Granted, I shouldn't have name-called... some people just frustrate me when they act like that.
    Admittedly, there ARE some grey areas when it comes to carrier questions... but let the moderators do their job when someone is asking innappropriate stuff. And if the mods aren't chiming in, then that's a good indication that what the thread is about IS in fact Apple related.
