You have *got* to be sh!tting me! I *have* to try this when I get home from work. It's not April 1st already, is it?

[gastonm]

I hope this is true. Would like to see a pic also if possible or something.

I tried this and don't notice too much, if any difference.

Only a few of the holes actually "poked through". The others, if it was resistant to a good "poke" and didnt go through, I wasn't going to push harder for fear of damaging something.

I would say on the few (3-5) holes that did go through, it went about 1/16" to 1/8" in.

Well, I guess we won't be able to "virginize" our iPhones anymore, eh?

I just did this and it works great. I inserted the needle about 3/4 of an inch and now my phone is nice and loud!!!

[AGE GOTTI]

i wouldnt take the risk personally...i agree it probably does work well but the purpose for any barrier inside the speaker hols would simply be to protect the inside from possible excess dust getting inside...i also agree the sound volume does suck but i keep mine on me on vibrate all the time....thanks for the info though

hmmmmmmmmmm sounds like fun...! yeahhh! hehe...i'll try and build the courage to do this!

[Greenkirby21]

haha what did you guys use to do this? I tried a needle, a paper clip, and other small things but the holes are just too small to poke anything through!

feck your funny, I really did LOL... maybe its just my sense of humor

Im gonna do it..........real soon gotta reach down and grab 'em first.......

[kargod]

aight, i'm gonna swear upon my iPhone that this trick works (i was very skeptical at first, but too sick of the shoddy speaker volume to not do anything). I poked a needle through about 1/16 of an inch to 1/8 of an inch through each hole it would enter without too much force.... and viola... a noticeably louder iPhone.

My guess though is that whatever layer is in the holes is there to keep dust out... so do it at your own risk, but know that the results are worth it

Thanks a lot!!!!

[machey]

im impressed

[alectra82]

wow, I am surely not going to shove a needle into the speaker holes of my iphone, but I was curious enough that I used the end of one of my wife's earings and found that the volume is increased. I didnt puncture anything, but I did use somepressure in each hole a few times. worked okay!



added: also gave my iphone a BJ, sucked the dust out via speaker hole. But there is a nice difference, thanks for the tip.

Hi guys you dont really need a guide or pics, the holes on the left are the speaker find somthing tiny like a small needle and just pop away (lol) until it pops the plastic film. trust me it is worth it, you wont believe how much of a difference it makes. I also put my ipod eq on treble booster and it rocks. love it. Please dont tell any kids you see on the back of the bus who have iphone tho.
