Speakerphone after 1.1.1 update - iPhone 3G

eufo · 09-28-2007, 02:24 AM

Ok, I didn't notice any difference in my speakerphone volume after the update. I've seen some people post that their phone sounds a lot louder. I did turn the phone off and back on, but still no difference. Am I missing something? Anyway, anyone else notice a change?

actually no mine is also the same...though I haven't restarted it. I made a few calls and I still couldn't hear anything very well. I'll try restarting before complaining....I did notice that my iPod is much louder than before through the headphones.

Whatever - it definitely seems to me that it is louder.

mine did sound louder but I'm wondering how apple could have fixed the voukume through an update.

Simple--speaker is controlled by software. Update the software and you update how loud the speaker is allowed to get.

nothing at all...mine sounds lower than it did before the update!!!! They didn't make anything louder!

i'm really beginning to think that 50% of the iphones that were sent out have defective speakers!!! some people claim that its so loud it hurts there ears and others like myself complain that you can't hear a damn thing...I can put it at 100% and put it right up to my ear and barely hear anything!!!

Mine is quite a bit louder, maybe 30%. Unfortunately, it also sounds like CRAP now, at loud volumes! It's fairly obvious all they did was a simple gain setting boost, which is about the WORST way to increase volume.

I honestly think you are onto something with the diffective speaker statement. On my iPhone if I play music past the 30% volume mark, things get unbelievably fuzzy. But everything can go super loud. I think some iPhones actually have a lower volume limit than others (maybe based on series). Some limit the overall volume so people don't complain that it is fuzzy, and other series have it super loud where you can go as high as you want with less quality.
