I keep reading about people's concern with the speaker getting dust and damaging the screen, but I haven't heard of anyone with this issue. As far as I'm concern poking the tiny holes will not get your screen damaged with dust, therefor needle through.

LOL I just tried this and the beginning trumpet sound in Family Guy startled me! haha

Get a needle and start poking.

ok i have tried this and have not seen any changes in speaker volume

[ucim2cute]

I have tried this too guys, but, I don't think I notice a difference??
I could feel I was poking trough some sort of film or something. I am on 1.1.2, or does that not matter all? Well when my phone was new it was 1.1.1?? Sorry, that probably has nothing to do with anything huh? hehe

Anyways, maybe i should change the stupid ringtone?? I am probably still the only person anywhere using the "old phone" ringer that came with the iphone! ha! But, I just can't seem to find a super loud ringer! If I could only find 1 really loud ringer, then I could finally STOP missing calls and texts and such! Ugh!

hell yeah i use "old phone"

ill try it soon but my mike is on the fritz and i want to find out if ima have to send this into apple before possibly voiding a warranty (maybe apple wont like the holes?)

Just curious.

For those who have puched holes and saw no difference, did you have an old or new phone (what week)?

Those with succsss what version/week was your phone?

Perhaps iphonew built later had the issue resolved in manufacturing?

it worked for me.. week 39

Perhaps folks aren't actually penetrating the shield, or haven't penetrated enough of the holes to make a difference in volume.

it made it louder by atleast 50%.
scared the crap out of me haha.

Smash your phone in your head. Very hard. Now that should straighten you out.
