Have you unlocked your phone and noticed that the volume is very low? Audio has been a problem on the iPhone up until firmware v 1.1.1 which apple seemed to address in the update, but not everyone is able to upgrade to 1.1.1 yet. Below is a guide to increase your volumes just like the 1.1.1 firmware update.
Things you’ll notice:
1). DialPad is louder
2). Speaker, Ringtone, Headset, Receiver, Speakerphone volumes are noticeable.
3). System Sounds are louder
4). YouTube video sounds are louder
Test Experiment: (Thanks stlcaddie and ReVan)
If you want to see a difference download beatphone.app listen to the pads with the volume all the way up and then apply the modded files. Now go back to the beatphone.app and listen to how loud the pads are now.
Install Instructions:
1). Download this file: iPhone Volume Fix
UPDATED file: iPhone Volume Fix with softer dialpad
2). Copy the com.apple.celestial.plist file to /var/root/Library/Preferences (Delete the two files FIRST don’t just copy them onto the phone and select the option of overwrite.)
3). Copy the SystemSoundMaximumVolume.plist file to /System/Library/Frameworks/Celestial.framework/
4). Goto Settings > iPod > (switch off: Sound Check)
5). Reboot your iPhone.
UPDATE: If you do not notice a difference try:
1). Download
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1SHSE3IF
put it into: private/var/preferences
2.) Reboot
Hello,
I’m new to this iphone stuff but i want to fix the volume too. But everyone are talking about going to a file like /var/root/Library/Preferences and adding this and that. First, how do i get there? Sorry, i’m not really good with this stuff.
thanks
all iv done is take off the factory cellofane off the front an buy a specially made one which is not covering the receiver job done
CLEARLY you are a genius.. A sincere thank you from me and all the assholes who couldn’t think to take the plastic of the fucking speaker.
A sincere thankyou! Taking the plastic off worked for me. I was waiting to be sure everything worked before I removed it just in case I had to return it. Everyone elses solution about downloading a fix etc was a load of bull shit. You’d think with recwnt versions of the IPhone Apple would have fixed any issues with the volume.
you have to have a program. On windows iphonebrowser or iphone explorer, or on the actual iphone ifile. that is where u can get into the file system.
Jon if you are using windows you should use winscp. you can find a guide: https://limitededitioniphone.com/guide-jailbreakactivateunlock-virgin-iphones-v111-windows/
Hi,
My Iphone ( ver 1.02) has very low volume, has any body tried to increase the volume by removing the screen protector ? does it work ?
Thanks for your post. You solved my low volume problem.
Hi Jim,
I bought an iphone fr 34.5k and was disappointed by call vol………and thought of going to store.
Thanks to your simple suggestion o removing the screen guard…….it is working like a dream,,,
You rock!!!
yes take off the cover
WTF so does this upgrade work for 1.0.2 or not???? So much debate but no conrete answers….
I agree with Mike (post 55)
Why bother to offer help if one is going to leave out information???
yes its mainly for 1.0.2. But others have haf success with other versions
Hi Limited,
Can you please upload this file to some other server? I am not able to download it from MegaUpload. Or if you could mail it to mngfrnd@yahoo.com, it will be great help.
THanks alot.

Hey mate,
Just got my iphone, and i to am having trouble with call volume!
But where do i find /var/root/Library/Preferences, is this a mac thing?
This really only works for firmware 1.0.2
Sorry, i read the rest of the forum posts and downloaded the winscp, i got into it a bit and found the library/preferences section, but i couldnt find the Frameworks/Celestial.framework/ path.. is there any other path that this fild would be in?
the fix is for firmware 1.0.2.
hi Limited, does this work with 1.1.1 version? I am still facing issue.
thanks.
Ok this may confuse everyone slightly,
I have a jailbroken and anysimed 1.1.2 running on baseband 04.02.13_g and i have installe the beatbox app as suggested but the volume for this program is very very very low ipod music seems fine speaker phone seems fine and dialler is fine just this app is it an app problem or will there be a fix?

I just used the overwrite on ibrickr for these files, because i have Windows
i am noticing a difference, is this even possible?
i have a 1.02 phone, and dont wanna go through all the trouble of upgrading
I upgrade to 1.1.1 and the speaker very much the same
I wonder if I can use this fix on mine, I don’t care about the dial pad, just speaker
can some one comment
Great the fix works 🙂 always good work by you guys 🙂
Hey guys,
Don’t have to upgrade. I had the same problem when my iphone had very low volume and the speaker would not even work when playing the ipod without the ear phone. All i did was, hold down the power button and the volume button (the top one that increases the volume) held it till the phone asked me to slide to power off. while still holding both power button and volume button, used my second hand to slide the power off button. I realesed the buttons but noticed that the iphone would not go off quickly and the screen was blank. waited for a bit and believed it was doing something which it actually did. it finally powered off and when i tried powering it up again it would not come on, waited for 3 mins then tried again. it came on and i tried the ipod on it and the speaker was functioning and pretty loud. using the ear phone with it was even better, its now louder than any phone i have ever had. lol! hope this helps but at your own risks!! any questions email me at muyizo@yahoo.co.uk. cheers guys.
I tried this and it did nothing. Both fixes. Used a Sound meter. My speaker with meter up against it is blowing 80-84db before and after changes.
My phone is 3 mo old. Latest everything. Iam hearing impaired. I MISS calls constantly. Does Apple plan a fix? OR should I sue under Americans with Disabilities Act? I do not want to jailbreak the phone and destroy any warranty.
Thanks muyizo, it works for me. Now I can use it like a NORMALphone….
Updated my firmware to 1.1.4 and I am still facing problem with the volume since day 1. Really bugged by this problem. Would appreciate any help.
how to copy files to root folder on iphone? my iphone is 1.1.3.
dude, how do u put the downloaded file into the /var/root/Library/Preferences kind of stuff
hey Zak and iphonelover download winSCP for wireless SSH-ing for windows and follow the instructions…
its quite simple actually… but the sad thing is it isn’t working pretty well … although i sense an increase in volume… or may be i’m really optimistic…
Anyways thanks…
signing off
XLNC!
well i had the same problem, fantastic phone, used garage band to make ring tones from my own songs, and they are automatically imported into the ring tone section of itunes, which is a great, my only problem was i could barely hear anyone when i received a call, found this posting here, thought , plastics what a load of @£$%^& but i tried it any way, and what do you know, the volume on my iphone is great, so there is something in the it, but for some other people there is with out doubt a fault with some of the iphones released
I am so embarrased, taking off the factory plastic covering worked for me 🙂
hey Neil,
my iphone runs on 1.1.4 firmware. You reckon removing screen-protector does the job??
cheers!
same here ppl.. 1.1.4 and the volume sucks big time.. especially lock and unlock sounds.. but thing is.. its in mobile not root folder.. should I put the files where it says? or replace them under mobile?
hm mobile did nothing..
well changed the private/var/preferences as well.. nothing happens

iphone 4 fix problem works All i did was, hold down the power button and the volume button (the top one that increases the volume) held it till the phone asked me to slide to power off. while still holding both power button and volume button, used my second hand to slide the power off , also remove protecter on from screen. It realy works
@ Neil
Thanks for that. I removed the plastic cover and the volume seems to be working just fine now. DOH! 🙂
Thank you so much for the posts from friends on this board. After I cut off the section of the plastic screen protector that covered up the top heraing speaker and keep the rest to protect the screen it now work like a charm. What am I thinking? the plastic covered up the hearing speaker that is why the volumn is too low. DOH!
