Hey, I installed this Native App last evening and had to uninstall within 24hrs. I am not sure if I am the only one who is facing few issues with this app. Since I haven’t found any other blog talking about Fring issues, let me put up the list of issues I am facing. I am sure the new fring updates that is going to come in next few days would definitely resolve these issues. And I am going to keep trying Fring with every update that is released in the near future. Its just that I am a big fan of Fring and had been using this in my HP iPaq for over 1 year.

Issues I faced while using Fring:

• Cannot use Skype - It keep crashing everytime I try to call anybody. I have a Skype out balance but it doesnt seem to work.
• SIP isnt working either - it crashes Fring. I tried to call after restarting my iPhone a few times but nothing seems to help.
• The biggest issue - iPhone ringer volume, click sound, SMS sound and any kind of sound that iPhone makes no more works. When I check my settings I find the ringer volume to be zero. Even if I scroll the ringer volume to max, it immediately scrolls back to zero.

After I uninstalled Fring, I got back my sound and the speaker started talking.

I am going to wait till this issue is resolved. Might be that my iPhone itself has some issues; if that is that is case, I will not install Fring till I upgrade my 1.1.4 firmware version to 2.0 which is going to come by this June.

Use needles to increase your speaker volume by more than 40%

Yes, you are reading it right. A daring “modder” has tried this on his iPhone. I guess most of us are not very happy about the sound output coming out of iPhone speakers.

Perhaps it’s time to take extreme measures, as some owners have resorted to… like sticking a needle through the holes in the speaker enclosure. Yes, according to a “modder” it’s possible to get a 40-percent increase in volume via this simple-yet-destructive trick of perforating the thin plastic which covers the speaker. Apparently, the phone gets so loud post-surgery that the volume is actually startling to some users.

But hey, try this at your very risk. I won’t be responsible if something goes wrong. As a matter of fact I don’t have the guts to try this. And more over my speakers are good for now. If it goes bad in future, I might try this out.
