Is there any way of improving sound quality from the standard speaker on the HTC TD ?
The speaker works but is very tinny when compared to other phones in hands free mode.
Is this a hardware issue, and hence nothing can be done, or is there a software frig that will help sound quality ?
hi, it seems when ever a sound question is asked no one seems bothered or have covered it a million times before. I asked the same question and had 300 views without an answer. Sorry pal but if its a sound question i fear youll have to ask in another forum as it seems taboo here. Im currently using my spare diamond and testing some other speakers inside it as there is so much speaker room its untrue, when i find , If i find a good one with a good fit ill pm you and let you know
cheers for now
let me know too when you finished testing please.. btw how much room is in there ? (dimensions)
We need a response from the pros at this.
cos im not ready to pop it open just yet lol

Can't you just post a guide here so everyone would know?
U can increase the sound level using tweaks in Advanced configuration v3.2 but sound quality will decrease .
i think this issue related to the hardware, not to the software issue.

usally with these things you will find if you dont get an answer
then the question has been asked a million times before and everyones
fed up of answering it.this question has been asked since the
diamond first became available.
best to use search first and if nothing comes up thats relevant
then post a question.
thanks for your help guys.
I would, as I am sure others to , be interested in a public posting if you find a speaker that fits and improves the sound quality.
perhaps this can help, woudnt try it myself tough

Nice, but it looks like a gsm phone. My cdma phone looks like I need to remove the entire internal back cover. It looks like one piece.

I disagree . The question of low sound has been from a software , tweak point of view but i asked about replacement speaker inside the phone itselfd from another phone as theres so mcuh room i could pack for a weekend away as well compared to many other phones
Did anybody try that mod or changed the speaker?
i d be curious to hear if it really improved the sound
I used to have a Samsung i730 (WM5) which had "SRS WOW", a software solution that helped with the perception of lousy sound. It did work quite well in making the speakers sound better. I don't know if that could be easily ported over.
Unfortunately, I no longer have that phone.
Not sure how this affects the quality.

Ahh, never mind. Plenty of people on the SRS case with no consistent solution found yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417636

I opened up my phone , and i opened the speaker also (first cutting step in the movie).
But next, after inspecting the main speaker housing it seems to have multiple connections wich lead to a black foil covering the housing.
I assume this foil is used as antenna for one or more of the phone's radio's/recievers.
So i assembled it back again without cutting a square trought the housing (step 2) as that would cut a large hole trough the antenna foil.
Volume gain from only opening the speaker (first step in the movie) is not noticable.

Hi
I have several questions and /or need your opinion
I need a good case for my xda because I am on the road alot. I dont like duffle packs or pouches. I have seen several nice looking cases, but most of them have several extra "places for cards etc, what makes me nervous is, that all this card keepers etc are on that side where the screen is. Isnt that dangerous for the screen? Constant pressure on some places? I would like to ask you guys what is your experience with whitch case. Thank you....
I need also a keeper for the car, if possible something where I can put my BT mouse on/in too. Great would be something like a an fm option, so I can hear my mp3 files on my sound system, which is actualy great, but Mercedes has (up to my knowledge) no Audio so I need that part.
Thank you again...
If these questions have been answered I am realy sorry that I could not find the answers anywhere. On page 10 I stopped my research at leat for tonight.
Cheers

Have you looked in the Universal Acessories forum? You might try there. I'm not much of a case person myself so I wouldn't know what was good or not. I'm not sure if you're looking for a skin type case but I have tried the silicone cases and they fit nice...
Hi all,
I had an accident and fell flat down to the ground with my TyTN in the belt pocket, exactly between my hip bone and the ground.
Now I have some more cosmetic plastic issues, but this would be acceptable. The bad thing is the Mail button is like a "sensor key" now, but works. The really bad thing is, the plastic speaker item inside (connected to the toppoly board, the speaker where the sound during calls comes out) is completely smashed and there's no more sound.
Since the rest is perfectly well, no screen damage (and no wrong alignments!!!) I would like to keep this phone but need a new speaker.
Could you guys help me to find such a speaker? The only part number on it is
501E6234A . It is a white plastic part, two gold connectors on the board side, a metal cover (now smashed) and a membrane on between the cover. You can see it on the attached pic, it's the white plastic rectangle in the middle.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance and greetings from Munich,
Torben
Hi Torben...
Did you ever find a replacement speaker? I have the same problem as you and need one
Thanks
Hey Fallingonion,
I am sorry, but I don't have any good news... I was in contact with a German company that usually repairs all kind of mobile phones for sales companies. They told me since the device is still too new they haven't received any replacement parts yet. The only way to have it repaired would be sending it in to HTC.
I did that in December and am still waiting for it to come back - and what it will cost.
How did you break your phone?
Torben
I've seen a few parted out Hermes on ebay - you might try that.
Hey lacroixdp,
thanks for this hint, too bad it's too late for me - but maybe Fallingonion can get a new speaker from there.
Greetings,
Torben

I've done some digging around, and may have found a suitable alternative It looks like the Motorola L6 / L7 might use the same part...
I figured the speaker would not be unique to the TyTN - some other phone or PDA must use the same one - so I went looking for disassembly instructions for other phones in the hope that they might show the same speaker.
If you check Step 9 in this pdf you can see what looks like the same earpiece speaker (even though it looks like they may have unfortunately damaged it during removal - you can see the metal face plate is still attached to the front of the phone.) What do you think?
I've ordered one to see if it fits - I'll let you know what I find
I didn't actually break mine - I bought one from eBay, only to find that the earpiece distorted if you turned the volume up So I took it apart and found that the metal shield on the front of the speaker was dented slightly - I guess enough for the speaker membrane to hit it.
If the Motorola speaker works, maybe you can get your phone back from HTC before they charge you a fortune?
Wow, yes, definitely looks the same - I simply cannot say anything about the actual size.
Let me know what comes out - too bad I already sent mine in for a repair! I doubt I can still get it back without a repair :-(
I am curious though anyway

Difficult to say if this the TyTn front speaker (earpiece) is identical to the one shown in Motorola PDF, might well function ok even if specs are slightly different though. In terms of delicate electronics were at the ironmongery end of the scale here!!!

That's what I'm hoping, Mike
The speaker in your photos looks exactly like the one in the TyTN - are they of the TyTN earpiece or the Motorola one?
EDIT by Mike - The pictures above are of the TYTN fron speaker/earpiece. And we now know the Motorola L6/L7 does work as a replacement.
I know that it is a complete offtopic ... but this is the reason why I use the aluminium case for my Vario II it just saves lifes ..
Just as an update - the replacement Motorola speaker that I was sent works fine
It was not a perfect match for the old one - it was necessary to slightly bend the contacts outwards to make sure that they made proper contact with the pads on the circuit board - but other than that replacement was simple. Sound quality of the new speaker is fine, and seems a bit louder than the original, although I could be imagining that
In case anyone else has the same problem, the only place in the UK that I could find advertising the necessary part was Phatphones (see "Speaker/Earpiece for Motorola L6/L7" on this page.) The part was quite expensive compared to other replacement speakers, but as I said it was the only one available.
Cheers all -
When your speaker out of order, did you try to using the orignal headset? I have the same accident as you did. But ,There is no sound at all.I try to using the orignal headset, but still don't work. I am not sure , if it is the speaker problem or the sound IC problem. Now. I can only using the Bluetooth headset.
Guy's my Transformer right Speaker DIED.. So I wanted to see If I can fix it/Replace it. If ur in same boat as me. This might help a bit. I will try to find some replacement speakers and try to fix. Mean while if u know of any site which sells speaker with these specs please post here. Thanks in advance.
Speaker size 1 inch and 1/2 inch
Number on Speaker is 1415 OR 14L5 (my guess its 1415). here are some of the pic's.
It was easy to Tear down and Put it back.. Just make sure not to put force any place as the parts are super delicate.

what amazes me is the size of the speakers should put out a lot more sound than they do. Perhaps removing a few baffles to allow some resonance...without hurting the structural integrity AND MAXIMIZING THE EXTERNAL GRILL HOLES...
... All that AFTER your warrantee runs out of course.

I think even if we flip the speakers facing up (towards the back cover) it will significantly increase the sound. I ordered new set of speakers lets see how the experiments go

I also have a speaker dead. But mine is the left side. I will be watching this thread to see if it works for you. I hope it works well. Where did you order speakers from or did i miss that part?
HI !
I just bought a DVP a week ago and though I'm very happy with it, I wonder if there isn't a problem with one of the bottom loudspeakers.
To put it shortly, the right one seems to work perfectly well but if I cover it with my thumb or whatever, I realize that the left one emits at a poor volume in comparison.
I thought this problem could come from the fact that they work as a two-ways speaker, the left one being dedicated to high frequencies, the second one to mediums, but frankly it hardly makes sense IMO.
What about you guys ? Do both your speakers emit the exact same sound and volume or do you have this difference too ?
Thanks.
One is a speaker one is a mic. I think it's the one on the right that is the speaker. Can't turn it on at the moment. Its still pretty loud imo.

Hey, thanks for the quick answer Kenji, but both of them are speakers according to the user's manual... (implying that user's manuals are always right, of course)
Still no clue on the "should I send it back" question...

Don't read too much into the user manual. There's only one loudspeaker, the other grill is for the mic, just like on the iPhone.
I believe one is speaker, the other is mic. At least they were/are in my experience with four venue pros.
Well, what a relief ! That wraps it up.
Thanks for your answers, all of you !
Come and see all issues I found in Nexus7, we'd better check if it's common ！？
Recently I bought six Nexus7 for me and my pals.
All these tablets are inspected by me to make sure there is no bugs and bad pixels , and I found some issues randomly.
I am writing down these issues to discuss with you guys: is it commonly happened or accidental?
1,when charging with the cable, if your ear gets close to the back of nexus7, you can hear some currency noise?
2,knock the back slightly with your finger , then you may hear the sound like a loosened spring inside it , especially near the rear camera .
3,when launching the CAMERA and do the focusing, still there is noise from the rear camera , is it because there is some equipment working for focusing?
4, is it easy to get dust into the machine and the screen?!
IF you have similar issues, pls tell me !
thank u!

1. No
2. No
3. Not that I can hear
4. Only if you take the back off
None of these issues here.
Was there something wrong with the other issues threads you saw? Or you just thought yours were special?
I wonder how you discover these on yours - sounds like you were looking hard to find something wrong with these devices!
None of these issues here - I have a 16GB model.
I am usually really picky when it comes to products I purchase. But this makes even ME laugh a little bit. Sorry man but I don't think those are "issues". More than likely what you are hearing is the mechanism inside the camera moving around.
