16 GB iPhone: Is the speaker louder?
TUAW reader Navarro P. traded in his 8GB iPhone for a slick new 16GB model -- and noticed that the speaker seemed much improved. He writes, "I have to say the speakerphone is dramatically louder. Or at least it seems louder. I had real trouble hearing conversations in the car with the window down and now it's not a problem." I'm sticking with my 4GB model for the time being ,but Navarro wonders if any other TUAW readers have noticed improved playback volume on the just-introduced models. Let us know in the comments.
Boosting your iPhone speaker volume
After finding the maximum speaker phone volume too low for normal use, I decided to poke around and see if there was something I could do about it. I knew that the Celestial framework folder (/System/Library/Frameworks/Celestial.framework/) had a Maximum Volume property list, so I decided to edit mine and see if I could effect a volume boost. In the property list, I adjusted the Default -> Default value up to 0.99, up from 0.7 and found that it seemed to nicely boost my speaker volume. Is this a real fix? Or did I just psychosomatically convinced my ears that they were happier? You tell me in the comments.
