I have thrown my iPhone 3G into the Indian Ocean !

I bought a Sansung Omnia i900 16G. Very good indeed.

i was disappointed by the limited ringer options on my iphone. not the song issue, personally i hate songs as ringers but another issue…
i’ve found that the trick to a good ringer is that it be one you will hear even in a crowded store or shopping centre but that also isn’t a jarring alarm kinda thing. it’s almost subconscious. the last phone i had for about 4 years had a simple ringer but after a while, it got to where i’d hear it ringing in my bag when others hadn’t even noticed.
with new technology many of us change phones often and ring tunes/ringers and maybe aren’t getting to that point, but what about your home phone? (if you still have one that is) i am ‘programmed’ to hear that even with other noises around me and recently, while x-mas shopping, a store had the same ringer on their phones and i went looking to answer it ’til i remembered where i was! this inspired me to record in garage band my ringing home phone, then, export it to itunes as a ring tone where it is now in my iphone and i hear it loud and clear and even in a busy shopping centre over x-mas.
try that maybe for calls but for in call sound probs, i can’t help, sorry!

I am partially deaf so I use the “Digital” ringtone. You will never miss that sound. Highly recommend it.

I just bought an iPhone last week and I havent heard my ringer in a good few days and I’m constantly trying to adjust the volume…hoping that somehow that’ll make a difference. I’m reallly pissed off that I miss all my calls and don’t hear my txts…has anyone figure out how to make the ringer work?

Only “Excitement” in buying an iPhone that makes us deaf and dumb. Afterwards, we understand the reality. It is nearly 11 months since I bought my iPhone, and still now Mauritius Telecom / ORANGE cannot tell why Apple/Itunes Stores are not opened to Mauritius.

I disregarded my expensive iPhone 16G, and bought a Samsung Omnia i900, 16G, with Windows Mobile 6.1 on board. I can drag and drop all my files into my Samsung Omnia i900. I am the happiest Guy with a Mobile.

Cheers !

I’ve recently bought an iphone and have missed the majority of my calls ever since. My daughter is experiencing the same problem. I feel cut off from the world. I don’t hear the SMS signals either, nor can i feel the phone vibrate when its in my pocket.
For this reason I wont be renewing my contract when mine expires. Its a great shame as I love every other aspect of the iphone. Its a real problem and apple needs to sort it out before the world gets to know about it !

not only is the volume not very loud, but you cant control much of what volume you do have. for example, when i want to completely silence the iphone by the switch of the button on the side, you cant, because the alarm will still go off as well as if you hit an application. SO i have to go to the alarm and turn it off every time. but what if i just want the alarm to vibrate in my pocket? its so inconvienent and i dont see why you cant do this with the million and one other thigns the iphone can do.
another thing- even if your headphone are in i find that applications still sound out loud. and lets say you put your phone on vibrate and plus the headphones in. you would assume if you went to the sounds tab in the settings and you accidentally clicked on the ringer sound choice you would not hear the sound because its on silent. and if you do hear it, you would at least expect ot hear it through the headphones which are plugged in. but the problem is the sounds are just hardwired in to play out loud. so many things on the iphone are set up this way its just STUPID.
its so embarassing to have your phone go off in class or in a meeting.
i dont understand why the is lacking such basic functions. apple over-thought this one too much.

The volume and its lack thereof is the only reason I am not getting an IPHONE.
