Q: iPhone 6 Plus Volume

I recently purchased an iPhone 6 Plus and I noticed that the volume when on a call is very, very low. I turned the volume all the way up and there is still no improvement. When I had my iPhone 5S, I was able to actually turn down the volume because it was loud. Is anyone else having this problem?

 

Device: iPhone 6 Plus

Capacity: 128GB

Color: Black/Space Grey

 

*Phone volume is normal when on a call through Speakerphone or BT connection. Volume level problem is only experienced when using the ear piece.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8

    Your kidding right?  Who doesnt know how to adjust the volume?  The problem is the volume is entirely too low whether you crank it all the way up.  I would hope im bright enough to turn the volume up before logging onto an Apple support forum.

    Kmitchum 1 is right, try to hit the volume up during call.....it works for me.

    In call volume can only be adjusted during call, try it folks rather thn running around.

    I wanted to get this response as high up as possible because it was very frustrating for me and I read through all these threads with no luck. Here's what worked for me:

     

    Plug in your headphones

    Have someone call you

    turn up the volume during the call

    Unplug headphones and hang up

    Have them call you back and

    Viola!

     

    This fixed my issue. Hope it helps someone.

    Fixed it.   Apparently there was an ivisable barrier of lent on the phone speaker.   rubbed a q-tip of isopropyl alcohol on it, then dried it off with the dry end of a qtip. did it a couple times.   My volume is back to normal.   Tried everything else, and never worked.  cleaning the speaker with a Q tip and isopropyl alcohol fixed it.    ...Suggested solution from DavidPeru.   Worked great.

    This fixed my 6+. I used a Alcohol wipe. Had to turn volume down some after cleaning.

    I was having issues with my call quality, period. AT&T is in the process of improving their voice calls over LTE in my area and my calls from iPhone 6 Plus to iPhone ^ were constantly dropping on the same network, with 4-5 bars. I made a call to my service provider and he actually disabled the voice call over LTE feature on my phone until the updates on their side are completed. BUUUUTTT, he didn't tell me anything about adjusting settings on my phone. Fast forward to now when I've been having various call issues including hearing an echo of myself when dialing out to non-AT&T mobile devices, and I knew it had something to do with that feature the tech specialist switched.

     

    Anywhoot, I found this thread and then I found your answer and I really wrote all of this just to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

    Same issues as everyone else. Tried several of the suggestion and still call sound is muffled. Wondering if this will be fixed with the eventual iOS 9 update. Fingers crossed.

    OK, so I had the same issue. It randomly fixed when I went to sound settings and switched off the vibrate on ring and vibrate on silent. I called voicemail to check and then switched the options back on and now all working fine.

    This method worked for me -- thanks!

     

    I think the "linkage" between ringer volume and in call speaker volume is clearly a software issue.

    I found I was able to increase the volume through the headphones pretty noticeably by going to settings-music-EQ and then selecting Late Night.
