Default MAJOR problem with iphone volume

The volume on my phone is so bad, that I can't even have a conversation unless I'm at home sitting in silence. Just walking through a shopping mall was enough back-round noise to make a conversation impossible. Even driving drown the highway-windows up-I could barley hear the other person, and I drive a lexus.

I'm going to apple tomorrow after talking to tech support-I hope to god it's just my phone and not all iphones. I have a hard time believing that a phone with so much R&D would have a speaker this bad. It's almost unusable when there's even the slightest bit of back-round noise.

Buy a Jawbone and forget about using the handset for audio. Every smartphone I have ever had seems like the earpiece doesn't work that great. Once you use a bluetooth headset you will never have to worry about it again.

Agreed. The ear volume is very low. The person on the other end says that my voice is clear though. I think it's all the phone.

Mine is definitely not a problem. In fact, when I turned the volume up a tad it was too loud and I had to turn it back down.

My mother was having some trouble with her voice sounding very quiet to the person she was calling. I haven't heard if she figured it out yet. She's pretty scrappy. I think she'll track down the problem.

I had the same problem, until I realized I hadn't removed the protective plastic from the top of the phone, which was muffling the sound. So I cut that plastic the size of the screen (to keep it protected) and it worked fine.

I concur but my ear speaker is just fine, I like to remind everyone that it's a gimme with all of the phones that were shipped nationwide there were bound to be some lemons or a few limes in the bunch. I had to send my first MacBook Pro back to Apple 3 times before they figured out it was due to bad parts and they sent me back a brand new one and upgrade my hard drive, it has also been work great ever since.

So hang in there, keep your cool and everything will work out, my phone is hitting on all cynliders and I am loving the WOW factor when people see it.

Default An other Bad Apple?

I loved everything about my iPhone after I activated it and did the sync up until the part where I wanted to listen to some music. With the volume up I had to put the iPhone speaker to my ear and could barley hear the song so I tried to change the ringtone and still could not hear anything but a faint dog bark or chirp. I did the resets that the online owners manual talks about, hold the pwr button and the menu button and still did not work. Next step do the restore on the iTunes site. When I did, it frooze up the iPhone and gave me "unknown error code 2003". Now my new iPhone is stuck in the restore mode. After 2.5 hrs of talking and holding with Tech support I'm going to get it mailed in to get fixed or replaced. They did offer me a loaner iPhone while mine was getting fixed for only $34.00...Nah i took the sim card out of my iPhone and put in my Blackjack and it works fine. I'll just send mine in. I hope nobody else is having this problem.
