[Q] In-call volume - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering what mods, if there are any, that will boost the volume for the ear piece speaker

Don't believe you can.

Ear speaker defective?

Can anyone of you test the following:
When you are calling with someone, and your calling volume is on the maximum (so the volume of the speaker that you hold against your ear). Can anyone notice a little crack from the speaker when the other person talks a bit loud or make's a loud noise? I'm wondering if there is something wrong with mine. With several tones the ear speaker cracks a little bit, like the sound is to loud or something.
Is it defective ?
I had this problem with the HD2, so I am not really surprised to hear that N1 also has it (I don't have N1). If you ask me, HTC bought crappy parts from its suppliers for the last generation of phones (HD2, N1) ...
Check these from the HD2 forums:

wow...
So i guess i can return my phone then ?
i`ve also the same problem. on maxed out volume there is distortion. one step beyond max volume the distortion disappears. i`ve noticed it at first when i was calling someone on landline. hopefully there will be a software fix, but i`m afraid it`s poor speaker quality.

Yeah i think its poor speaker quality to . I'm not sure if i should return my phone tho.
It is only really noticable on max volume, and even then only on hard noises or hard voices. Thanks for your reply.
could some more poeple please test this? i'm wondering if many phones have this problem. Thanks!

I'm not sure whether you could define it as 'defective' or not, but I think all Nexus 1 phones have this issue.
I could be argued that it's just not up to the job of course and you could maybe return it on that basis if you want, but I don't think this is a specific issue with your device.
Bad speaker vs good speaker
I have the same crappy speaker build on my N1.. a friend also bought a N1 and his is crystal clear, so its not STANDARD that you get the junk one.
my guess is they have speakers from one supplier that built from several parts suppliers, or several suppliers of the speakers itself.
HTC is China company.. I love the place, but they're know for quantity, not quality.
Mine is being swapped for a DOA exchange.. let's hope this one is better.
Cheers

physically replace the speaker phone speaker

Ive scoured the internet and can't find anything. I really wish the speaker phone speaker would go louder. Ive tried software tweaks to the point that the speaker distorted so I know its a hardware limitation.
Has anyone physically replaced the speaker with a louder / more efficient one. My friends droid 1 is nice and loud and has some more bass....Id love to get the same sound out of my HD2.

SGS5 earpiece speaker crackle/vibration when on phone

Hi guys,
I am now on my 6th Galaxy S5 due to various sensor/build quality issues. Finally I got a handset working fine, however it seems there may still be a problem.
I do not want to exchange it again if it is a product 'characteristic' if you like, and was wondering if you guys can help.
At full volume you can sometimes here a bit of distortion/crackling from the ear piece speaker (NOT the loud speaker at the back of the phone).
I don't have anything to compare it with and my Galaxy S4 doesn't do this (only ever so slightly, if anything).
If I reduce the volume it is greatly reduced but is still present.
Does anyone else have this. Can they test theres at full volume and test it out for me please?
TIA
I just tried it during a phone call and my phone does not have any distortion.
It could perhaps also be caused by a low signal producing white noise, just something for you to take into consideration.

Thanks, it seems to be on all calls - even pre-recorded messages like when you dial 150 on EE.
Its kind of like the speaker is rattling at certain pitches of the voice on the other end. I've compared it with the S4 and the S4 is crisp with the same. However the volume is less on the S4 than the S5 too (when set at full volume on both phones).
Hi, this will seem dumb, but try to put your mouth on the ear speaker and blow in it and suck out.
This will move the speaker cone and chances are it will put it back in place.
Good luck. It worked for me.
Wholy Shi7 this worked!!!!!!!

Modding Call Volume

So I think everyone knows how awesome these speakers are with how loud they can get. Though you would think that would carry over to the in call volume when NOT on speaker mode. In some outdoor situations its really frustrating being barely able to hear someone especially since I know its a software limit. I understand that mixer_paths.xml under system/etc/ holds all the min and max's for volume though I can't figure out which controls the earpiece while in a call. Any ideas?
I would also like to know this, as well as if its possible go use both speakers in speaker instead of just the bottom one. Hope we can get some feedback.

Speakerphone (loudness, clarity)

Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The speaker are good but it vibrates on the back of the phone !

It's a new feature they claimed to clean the speaker...
Hi,
I want to buy this phone but I heard some people being annoyed by the fact that the vibration intensity is too low and when the volume is over the mid level the vibration is too loud and the phone seems like a big noisy speaker.
What's your feedback about that?
Thanks

I bought the phone on day one and I can confirm all you wrote: vibration intensity is weak and volume over the mid level make the back of the phone to pulse like a bass speaker.
I'm interested in other opinions about that two "problems" before take a decision and ask for a refund.
Except for all (and MIUI, I don't like it too much) is a pretty good phone (I paid mine 169€).
Hi!
Yes it's true, vibration is a bit weak and the back cover vibrate quite a lot when volume is loud.
For me those two "problems" are not problems when compare with all features and price but, for some people, they may be annoying.
Regards
i think there is some sort of bassspeaker (subwoofer) inside the phone leting it vibrate at the back. whene i place my ear at the back cover i can hear alot of base.
all in all, the sound is very good with the stereo system. the earpeace sounds very loud and clear like. (its a real speaker, not like other xiaomis only treble)
Yes guys, i think that the vibrations on the back isnt an issue, is normal in a phone with glass/plastica back. It helps with bass.

Hi, I recorded the vibration in this video. For me it's not annoying but it feels strange. https://youtu.be/vhPxVEXVfnQ?t=56
I really like the dual speakers and overall quality. Although yes you can "feel it roar"
Doesn't even need to be very loud.
This video per example
is very low and you can feel the phone vibrate alot
I think it's the z-axis vibration thingy that they advertise
The vibration is caused by the top speaker, turn that off vibration stops.
Go to setting, accessibility, mono speaker on and then slide the slider far right.

Can anyone else please try and confirm this. I was intending to buy this, but was hesitant cz of this issue of vibration. Also the phone weight.

Yes...switching to Mono and firing down speaker will stop the vibration...if you wanna use as regular ones than stereo mode, tested on my Device
I actually like the vibration, I don't find the issue with it. Speakers quality is amazing with nice bass + balanced mids & treble. There is almost no distortion when listening to max sound levels. It's even better than speakers from my past phone ZTE Axon 7.
I find that the best sound level for playing music is at 2 levels down from max volume as it has less distortion and it is still loud and clear. That's 87% of max volume.

But then how will we hear others when we're in a call?
I still have HTC m8 and it also have loud speakers and they also vibrating all the phone on highest loudness. For me its naturally normal. Speakers are made for higher power thats why are better heared, more power consuming due to more power, and vibrating all phone. I love it
