How do I turn UP the volume on iPhone?

KC4 · Feb 22nd, 2009, 05:24 PM

I want to turn up the volume of the speaker that I hear phone calls through.

I already have the ringer volume and the iPod volume pinned to the max. Is there a separate adjustment somewhere that I am missing to also adjust the volume of the ear speaker for phone calls?

And yes, I AM somewhat deaf, but my family who aren't actually deaf (but do fake it sometimes) tell me that my phone speaker volume is low.

Have you turn the volume up while your on a call?

Do you have a 2G or 3G iphone? This is a known problem for 2G iphones but supposedly fixed in the 3G version. I have a 2G and I've noticed this problem as well. It really depends on the ringtone as well though. I've added some custom ringtones which are much better. Or, here's a youtube video that shows a "fix" to make the speaker louder...although it looks a bit dodgy:

To turn up the volume of the earpiece, you must turn up the volume using the volume buttons WHILE you are on a call.

Hi all,
Yes, I've tried increasing the volume while I am on a call. It's a 3G phone.

SOUNDS like I should take it in for a visit at the Mac store and see what they say.

This is a really weird question, I am NOT trying to be insulting, but, did you leave the plastic screen protector on the iPhone that it shipped with?

Hahaha! Nope, I removed it.

Good question though - that MIGHT cause problems if I hadn't.
