One of the problems with the iPhone I find (along with many others) is the less than stellar speaker volume. I know 1.1.1 was supposed to address this issue, and some have tried the 3rd party software route of AudioAmp, but none of those methods have made a significant change. I am going to tell you a trick today on how to increase your iPhone speaker volume–by at least 50-100%!
This mod requires some intense training and will require you to invest in some expensive materials. For this iPhone speaker mod, you will require:

I was always thinking about trying this when I read about it from another forum site. Hmmm lol maybe one of these days ill try :p lol
Thanks bud for the tip and great pics!
I just tried this. Wow, it really does make your speakers loud. And it sounds like the quality has improved a bit too. I was worried about it being too loud and making my speakers all static. But it really works. Thanks.
Wow it worked great!!! Now it fills the entire room with sound 50-75% increase in the sound level.
I already had the AudioAmp installed
Awesome news guys! I still haven’t tried… hehe Maybe some more feedback will convince me 😛
anyone have any issues yet with dust and such getting in the holes?
tried it. it improves it a little. i can’t tell percentage-wise. it’s a minor improvement though, but worth the effort. i’m gonna try audioamp.
audioamp won’t install on my phone. i think i have 1.1.3, could this be why?
@T
Hmmm that might be the problem, I have it install on my 1.1.2 and it works but I don’t notice any difference lol
Anyone else have feedback about how well this modification works?
Thanks
dusty thanks for letting me know I’m not missing out on much. Try the pin thing, there is a noticeable difference.
No prob T 🙂 I guess I might try the pin lol I’ll let ya know if I do and how much I notice in difference…
Dusty

it works !!! 🙂 thanks….. 100% true
Hey, This is amazing. It works big time – i kept poking at the whole and kept wondering whether i have poked deep / all holes – when i just played a sound again, it was amazing!
110% recommended
I was afraid of doing that.. but after trying it, it works like a charm! Thanks for such a good idea.
Worked for me!
I did this on my first iPhone and it completely disabled the cell-tower antenna. I had to get rid of the iPhone and buy a new one. I would suggest NOT trying this hack and I want to remind you that its NOT covered by warranty and it IS easy to spot if you take the phone apart.
I do this mod,but now my speaker going bad…When I listenig to music 60-100%speaker qaulity is bad…

hey…. it really worked…. i was trying to solve the problem from months … and its over in some seconds … thanks a lot….
yei it works
thanks mate it works
great one! it’s working!!
thank x
Thanks this worked awesome I was tinkering to make holes in the speaker mesh cover. Only i ended up pushing the whole thing through. at the same time I was playing music I was scared aI would poke a hole into the speaker. I just took out the whole metal mesh and right behind that there is a cloth no wonder I get no sound out of the damn thing its all muffled.
So what I did to help protect is what Ive seen in other phones piece of thin sponge like material. black so you cant tell. But now my speaker volume level is at the middle cuz it can get too loud that the speaker will sound distorted.
if your going to poke with a needle carefull if you push the mesh all the way in will make it sound worse. U can prob do what I did.
was able to get it from the side and with the needle pry the mesh out till I could get it with my finger tips then just pulled it out. the glue they use really sucks feels like rubber cement. Damn phone is assembled in china (careful glue might contain lead LOL) hope this helps out anyone .

Did you have to take it apart to put the sponge material in? I did this too and now the mesh looks like crap and I’m thinking about just taking it out.
No i didnt have to take it apart. I took the whole mesh thing out its a piece of crap and I just grabbed an old pair of headphones used the sponge form the ear piece cut it into a small piece and with some small tweezers I just placed it in there. The sponge was big enough to fit snug but not to muffle the sound I had a song playing in Ipod to determine if it would be loud enough or not.
Hope this helps you out now. I just dod the same thing to my friends iPhone and he likes it as well just take the the whole mesh thing out it muffles the sound.

tride it and didnt realy notice a difference. but maybe i did it wrong..

It works! My God it really work. Thanks a million for this. I was abt to send it to Appel for repair as I thought the speaker is faulty. Now, I enjoyed every music. Thanks and God Bless.

Its an amazing trick!!! Yup…It indeed works!!! Great trick…

This is the best tip about my iphone untill now.
Had the same problem, and since I bought it used, I considerede changing the speakers, or sell it and buy a new. I thought it was broken since the volume was so low.
But now it works perfect ! Like getting a new phone !!!
THANKS !!!!!!
WOWW!!!. I was planning to buy a speaker dock as the speakers were too low to watch movies. Worked really well for my 2G I phone. Sound up by atleat 100%
