In call volume to low

i_chillin · 07-03-2009, 09:14 PM

Is it me or is the volume not very loud during a call. I have the thing maxed out and its still hard to hear. Are there any other settings I'm over looking to make the in call volume louder?

I have the same problem. volume turned all the way up and Its still not loud enough. I hope some one has a fix for this.

Are you sure you have the phone volume up? The only way to increase the phone volume is to hit the up button on the volume while IN a call. Otherwise it's only doing the ringer or the volume for the speakers for the ipod.

Yup, turned it all the way up during a call and still hard to hear.

Is there any ambient noise? Do you have any hearing loss?
If it's hard to hear at max volume, there might be a problem. Although it's far from the loudest phone available, but it shouldn't be quiet at the max level. I'd take it in to Apple for a replacement.

I think these phones volume are just naturally low, eve with the 3g.

my v1 was crazy quiet i could barely hear. My 3gs is definitely not the loudest phone but i dont have a problem hearing it at all.

I know what you guys mean I just went from a Blackberry Storm and could hear just fine, now seems like the 3Gs is a bit quiter, well alot quiter.

Yeah, I came form a Storm too and it was a bit louder, but good that Storm was a pile of sh!t.

I agree that the volume could be louder. With ambient noise, I always find myself trying to turn it up.

I miss the old cell phones that were so almost too loud.

Of course, that could explain why I can't hear the iphone.

Just got rid of the Sprint Instinct, nowhere near loud enough for me.
