Iphone 8 plus low call volume

Nobody hacked your phone and Bluetooth and Wifi are supposed to stay on in iOS 11 by design. You can toggle them off from the network or Bluetooth device you were connected to in Control Center (but the Bluetooth and Wifi radios are still on - again on purpose) or if you feel for some odd reason you must turn off Wifi o Bluetooth (though there is no reason to ever do so as it inhibits the functionality of your phone), you turn them off completely in Settings > Wifi or Settings > Bluetooth.

You can return your phone, but you appear to not fully understand how it works. You'd be a good candidate to go to iBooks and download the iOS 1 user manual.

I've followed this discussion as I recently called someone over skype and the experience was agonizing, barely heard anything and felt embarrassed to own such a phone.

I admit to not understand how this phone works, if it even works.

You say keeping bluetooth active at all costs is by design in ios 11 yet to you send us ignorant folks to read a manual for ios 1. I hope it was just a typo.

Both forum and iphone wear from this moment the tag: unfriendly, alien.

I didn't call you ignorant. I just pointed out you don't seem to understand why things are as they are and reading the User Guide would likely help you. I guess I'm just one of those nerds who likes to understand my devices better and I always read the user guide, not just on my iDevices, but on every device I spend my hard earned dollars on. Silly me.

If you feel there is something wrong with your iPhone, schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar and have it evaluated. If there is a defect, it will be replaced.

My iPhone 8 plus call volume has been totally fine for a few months, but went bad today. Same problem as everyone else, super low call volume, can barely hear it at all. Tested the receiver using Voice Memos, as directed; clearly the problem is not with my carrier.

Hi,

I have the same problem with low call volume for my newly bought iphone8 compared to my previous iphone 6plus. It’s very frustrating, just bought it yesterday. Can I have replacement from apple store?

Were u able to increase the volume??

Sorry but apple isn't going to give u anything! Especially a new iphone!

Even this support is harder to get from them. They send u into a forum where u must spend a month searching for answers to what should be immediate fixes! I sometimes wonder if i bought the wrong phone brand!

Have been hearing about how great iPhones are so I made the jump from Android to iPhone 8 Plus. Seeing such a basic problem (this volume issue) hasn't been fixed after almost a year, Apple is about to get their phone back. Missing such a problem in QA and testing is one thing. Ignoring it for a year is quite another.

Dumb question, but did you by any chance leave the protective clear cover that the phone had out of the box on?

No it was removed

This doesn’t help. I believe it’s the new material of the phone in combination of different speaker technology.

what did you get?

No Good

The voice memo is great on speaker as well as regular playback. This is very weird. It’s not the carrier. Can we return the phone? Only two weeks old

What do I do if my volume side buttons don’t work?
