How can I boost the volume on my iphone?

[Barryley]

Hi. Is there an app I can download to boost my phone's volume? At the moment I can barely hear the ringtones, let alone people's voices during a call.

Also, is there any way of using ringtones as sms message alerts?

add source http://installer.iClarified.com and there is a volume boost in there

[Barryley]

Thanks. That sounds good. But what do you mean by "add?" do I go to that address from my phone or PC? then what happens when I get there? Is there an app on that page?

Take a look in the Guides section, adding sources i think its under.

[morphiusrt]

go to stickies in the various forums

but this is how

go to installer
than sources
than edit
than add
should say http:// than enter the rest and it will refresh and you should have the source

Hi. There is no "adding sources" section.
So how doI add the source? And what happens when I have done so?

Sorry to be a pain...

Read post 5 after you press EDIT top right of installer page... the ADD key will be displayed in top left of screen, press that then add the source.

[morphiusrt]

when in installer hit:
sources (bottom right corner of installer)
edit (top right corner)
add (top left corner)

in that order than type installer.iClarified.com and hit ok

[Barryley]

Ok. I did it. Added the source. Added the volume boost. Magic, except that when I restarted my phone (as per instructions) it was EXACTLY the same volume...

Anything else I can do?

@Morphiusrt: Thanks for the source! Added the volume boost, hopefully it will work..will find out when someone calls Also great patch for call history!

Thanks again!

[morphiusrt]

it works just make sure you shut your phone off all the way and turn it back on again.

[Barryley]

By all the way, I guess you mean shut it off from the button at the top of the phone.

I did so, without any effect on the volume. Or is it possible to shut it off further, ie battery out, or something else I am missing?

[madrog]

hold the home button and the top button at the same time, untill the phone turns off

[Barryley]

Doing it now madrog. I must sound thick as **** to you guys...

Nope. Turned it off in the manner described and back on again. It still sounds quiet...
