I recently bought a blackberry pearl, it works great, and i love it. The only thing that is really pissing me off about it, is the volume on it. I can't hear my speakerphone very well, and my volume on my music is pretty damn low at maximum volume........is there a way to increase the maximum volume on it?

Welcome to the forums.

While your language isn't considered "vulgar" it is a little abrasive and inappropriate, especially for a first post.

There's not much can be done about the volume except to turn it up to it's maximum. You can use louder ringtones and make sure your ringtones are set to the highest level. As far as music volume, the BB is made to use headphones. There is also a setting in the options for the media player that will increase the volume. Look in Media >Music >Options....

I couldn't find that option......all i could find is:
Sort By
Sort Direction
Thumbnails per row
Slide show interval
device memory limit
reserved pictures memory


Im using 4.2.1.107 if that matters at all

Go to the main screen of the Media Player, where you select Music, Video, Pictures, etc., > Options > Audio Boost.

Actually, what worked for me with the Pearl was to buy a new battery cover--the one that comes with it seems to cover the speaker--one of the first things I did was to buy that(it costs about 14.00 if I recall)....the best thing I did for my Pearl. I still couldn't listen to it sans headphone, but as someone said, it's not designed to be listened to without it. That said, I can hear it better with the new battery cover than w/o it.

Merry Christmas.

When i go to the media player menu (the place that shows music, video, ringtones, pictures) and try to go to options.....all i see is:
Help
Explore
Call Voice Mail
Switch Application
Close

i do not see audio boost anywhere that i look

this is an 8100 if that helps at all

[JSanders]

Oh yea, could be OS version differences, if you don't show that option.

[ilim4t1c]

What OS has the "Audio Boost"

[JSanders]

i honestly don't recall when it came along, but i do know it is present in 4.2.2

[ilim4t1c]

Where can i get 4.2.2?......Btw thanks for the quick replies

[JSanders]

There isn't a 4.2.2 for the 8100.
This is the latest version available for the 8100, here:
http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...ilanguage.html

The audio boost might be on that version, too, i don't know.

Maybe another user will let us know.

[ilim4t1c]

Nope, it doesn't have it :(

[John Clark]

Yeah, sorry about that. My bad. It's in OS 4.2.2 and above. It's been so long now since I've used a 4.2.1 device....

[ilim4t1c]

Is it possible to get 4.2.2 on my 8100? (without any noticeable problems)

If so, can i get a link for it...thanks

[John Clark]

There is nothing newer than 4.2.1.109 for the 8100 Pearl. Sorry.

[ilim4t1c]

What about for 8130?

Will there be any problems with my pearl if i get an 8130 OS?

[John Clark]

You can't load an 8130 OS on to an 8100. Totally different devices. 4.3 should be coming out for the Pearl in a month or two. Just give it some time.

[ilim4t1c]

K, Thanks anyways man
