iPhone Update 1.1.1: Did it make your speakerphone louder?
Aside from bricking the iPhone, one of the many features of the iPhone Update 1.1.1 was that it supposedly made the speakerphone louder as well as the headset.
Reader Conley asks:
Has anyone reported the speakerphone not being upgraded by the new version. I have two iphones and neither one of them have a louder speakerphone. It's terrible!
That's a great question because after we performed the update on the 3 phones we have here, we could detect no noticeable difference in volume of the handset. We reset the phone a few times just to make sure the update took and still, there wasn't any noticeable increase in volume to our ears.
Has anyone out there with this update found that it actually made your speakerphone louder? Perhaps it's just our imagination that it isn't.1 Comments

We have his and hers iPhones and we both noticed louder phone calls. Speaker or regular, the update did indeed make the speaker louder. The movies and songs are not affected, they are the same level.
One note regarding bricking, I had no trouble with the update, but it bricked her handset and forced a total wipe and then restored the phone from there. After syncing, she had lost ALL of her camera photos and about two weeks of notes, calendar and phone contacts.
Big bummer, but her phone was running strangely sometimes, perhaps it really did need to wipe everything and then start from scratch.
There were absolutely no third party apps and the phone had never been unlocked or hacked in any way. Yet it bricked her phone and she lost data when it restored.
I also had no third party apps, and hadn't unlocked or jailbreaked my phone, but mine hadn't been having any trouble. Hers would take a while to shut down from time to time, and had a terrible time connecting to edge when going on and off of wi-fi.
We still love our iphones, we just wish that it had suggested we sync it BEFORE doing the update, just in case it happens to brick the phone and forces a restore. Maybe apple could add that to the next update, or to an itunes update?
