Speaker Problems?

Danielle008 · 02-17-2008, 11:46 PM

I just got my iphone like 2 days ago and I cant barley hear people on the line when I am making calls. When I have the headphones in I can hear them great. If I dont have my headphones I have to put the phone on speakerphone. How do i solve this problem?

You get a Blackberry or a Treo. The speaker on the iPhone is garbage, it's one of the caveats. Though, it may heighten your hearing to super human levels.

Plus?

I think so.

never had this problem but try to turn volume up all the way button is on side of phone... See if that works if not might be a bad phone..Might want to take back to apple before the 14 day return policy is up

Okay, I have the little film covering still on the phone...Do you think could be covering the speaker or something?

Is the film covering the little oval cutout near the top?

that could be the problem remove it. After a while it will look like crap cause it will wear out

I had to take my iPhone back for a number of problems and the volume level was one of them. It was barely audible when turned all the way up. Not sure why. Could have a bad phone.

LOL! I think I read something about people forgetting to take the plastic cover off and thinking the phone was defective. Hopefully that's all it was.

LOL i had my laugh for today...

but when i first got my phone, i had wanted to leave the plastic on there to protect the screen (even though knowing it wouldnt last long), but i had poked little holes on the part covering the speaker. it worked fine, so if you really dont want to take it off, you should do that.
