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
Hi,
I wanted to ask about call quality, when I set the volume to maximum I get a level of noise! I don't notice the noise if volume is less than max or when using headphones, is this normal? or is it a fault in my phone?
I'm not talking about the loud speaker I'm talking about the front one, and I'm running version 16.
First I thought it was from the network but I tried using fring test call and I got the same results.
( I wish it's not a fault in my device because I bought it overseas and it's hard to return it )
Thanks
I think it is normal. You mean when the volume is set to the max, it kinda distorts? Or like it sounds like the volume was way too high that it screeches? Or if someone was screaming on the phone, the sound breaks? Cuz mine does that. Is it similar to yours?
My phone doesn't do that. But I can't hear what people are saying mostly. And that's just when I'm at home where the noise around me is very very low. Can't hear for **** when I'm driving. Not really useful for a phone.

I think the noise sounds like if the volume was way too high, even though it's not
I mean it's way better than small phones like Nokia and others, but it's not as good as my X1.
To be fair to all those considering Note, after all praising (I still do think it's best phone in the world right now), there are definitely drawbacks.
Here is one for example:
The regular phone speaker above the screen (not the loud one on the back) is not pointing sound into one direction. You can even speak on the phone with back side of Galaxy Note put to you ear, you will still be able to hear everything clearly, even on low volume.
On top volume, it is comparable to speaker phone on some other phones, so if you pick up a phone while surrounded by other people (unless you are in very loud place) they will hear the other person.
While in the office, I noticed myself turning volume down a lot when I pick up the phone.
I dont have this kind of problem , my old Nokia phone does.
Sure someone can hear some of the content near the phone you are talking in a dead silent arwa, it's inevitable.
I feel Gnote already perform quite well compare to the other phones, like HTCs in this area

to be honest id rather it was loud and have the ability to turn the volume down than it be too quiet and unable to turn the volume up
as my mum used to say,if its cold its better to have a coat and be able to take it off if you get hot than be cold and need a coat and not have one

It's not a question of whether badly working phone is better than no phone. It's a question of best phone being of high quality. In this case its potential privacy concern.
I switched from iPhones, where it was not an issue. If you put it tight to your ear in silent room, none else hears the person on the other end. Even on loud.
Like I've said above, on Note in silent room regular speaker (not the loud speaker) is comparable to loud speaker on some other phones. You can hear through the phone! Test yourself, make a call with screen side out, battery cover side to your ear, you might be surprised, that it's practically no difference what side you hold it to the ear, even on lowest in-call volume you can still comfortably speak with wrong side of the phone touching your ear.
I have not tried other Notes than mine, but I seriously doubt that it is one time occurrence, seems to me like an engineering issue, not enough sound insulation behind the speaker, just few thin layers of plastic.
If it is such a privacy concern, why not use a bluetooth headset or earbuds? Why not leave the room instead of taking the call in the room?
I mean there are more options that just sitting there letting everyone else hear your conversation if you feel that you have something to hide. But then again, your talking so they naturally are going to hear at least 1 part of the conversation no matter what. So I fail to see how you can really be concerned with privacy when they hear everything you say anyways, right?
If you were that worried about privacy you would send texts, emails or use an IM program to send messages so that no one knew what was being said or talked about. But since you are willing to sit in the room and let them listen to what at least you are saying, then you are not overly concerned with them at least hearing part of the conversation.
When I get a call that I dont want anyone else to hear I either leave the room, put on my earbuds or tell the person I will call them back when I can talk. So really it isnt about privacy concerns at all, it is just an inconvience for you to know that the speaker is loud. Louder than you are used to at least.
Fuuny that you mention this because i never thought i'll use those bt headsets until i own the Note. Each time i put it in my ear, my worry is not the volume but the number of heads turning towards me and the the sheepish grin that follows.

A damn proud Galaxy Note owner.
Maybe try turn down the volume and using a case.
I wonder how those HTC phones perform because they all have ear speakers that are wide across the width of the phone itself.

Lol..the speaker grill on HTC phone what we call it, is just a gimmick. If we see inside, the speaker none the less is only small portion on the middle side

That's a really good point. Something else to improve in the Note2 along with moving power button!

Maybe my nexus 6 was just that good but it feels like the v20's earpiece speaker isnt very clear or loud....I can live with lower quality but the sound level is kind of low (hard to hear people in noisy places)

Yeah its low (with my over the ear cans), went all in on a descent amp that can usb of my pc and/or directly off my phone. Like my cans to rattle sometimes. With my IEMs though it gets loud after 50-60. Id make sure you have enabled Hi-Fi sound on the phone first and found this app to be very useful in adding some punch and volume to my tracks. ----> Equalizer (by Smart Android Apps)

Check your phone call settings. There may be an option in there that was enabled by accident.
And/or tell your correspondence to speak up. Lol.
yeah idk, my s7 sounded like crap for phone calls. could never understand the person on the other line. but my V20 sounds amazing. clear, loud etc. kills the s7

I'm experiencing the same. Extremely clear, no issues whatsoever.
Speaking of the Nexus 6. That phone was hands down the best Android phone ever made. If they re-released it with a fingerprint sensor, I would buy it again. Best speakers and sound of any phone. It could have used a better camera, but other than that, 9 out of 10.
As for the speaker sound in the V20. I think it could be a a bit louder. Clarity isn't an issue for me. But it's def not very loud.
On the T-Mobile variant this thing is loud and clear. If I turn it all the way up I can hold it away from my ear in front of me and still hear the other person clear enough to understand them. definitely no issues so far involving that

What settings are you talking about?
And people calling me didnt magically decide to speak quietly just because I bought a new phone.

Yes loudness is the issue. Its too quiet if you are anywhere with noise like the grocery store.
Nexus 6 was a good phone but had issues (guess all phones do). The camera was pretty bad and buggy at times. Speakers were great but if you had lower battery they would automatically decrease the volume like 50% (even at max volume) that was insanely annoying. And lastly it throttled speed pretty badly when battery got low. Oh and it was pretty big, alittle smaller screen with the v20 but much smaller in the hand.

Pull up your phone app. Make sure it's on the dial menu and hit the 3 vertical dots in the upper right hand corner. Go to call settings. The last option should be one that reads "more" . Peruse that and see what may help. Good luck.

Only thing I can think of would be to try turning on hearing aid compatibility or maybe messing with the call clarity and noise suppression options and see if that affects anything for ya.
I have both voice clarity and noise suppression turned on and have no problems with low volume at all. I remember reading somewhere on a different phone e that the hearing aid option made it noticeably louder on that specific phone so you could try that and see if it works for this phone.

Am finding the same too, this time i have the voice clarity option enabled, lets see if it makes a difference. I find it soft in a quiet room, no idea how this will work out on the street. Might be forced to get a headset in that case.
Which would be a pity becaue this phone is all about audio. My speakers are perfectly fine. Why does the earpiece have to be so quiet
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 !

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.

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
