Hi,
Sound is bad because of the awfull design. The (mono)speaker is at the back of the device, hence low quality.

That's innovative bro.. Sure that'll work.. coz it's not the speaker that is soft but the design, so if you place the handset face up, the speaker was covered by the surface.
Alternatively you would want to consider to place your phone on the opposite direction, face-down.. that won't obstruct the speaker..
It's just the design, not the speaker...

Hi,
I don't actually understand this picture or how its done but I know one thing, I wana learn whatever it takes if possible to enhance the sound of this pda. Its driving me crazy. there is usually a lot of noise around me and if I place the pda on its back as usual its impossible to hear it ring and that should be one of the most basic features of any phone. I just bought it and I'd like to solve this issue if I could before I purchase another one for this reason.
could someone please explain how to do a modification using this thing called velcro and how is this modification increasing the sound volume?
thanks

analyzer.x, the reason the 614 sound is so low is beacuse when the ipaq is on its back, the speaker is covered.
But if you raise the ipaq by a little bit the soud can come out.
So you stick some velcro (or a piece of rubber, anything really) to the back of the ipaq so when you put the phone on its back it is slightly raised up.
This allows the sound to escape.
btw velcro is the stuff that you find on kids shoes instead of shoe laces. Or in camera bags to hold the dividers

Thank you for clarifying that.

Remapping Camera button on locked?

Hi there! Sorry if this was asked before, I couldn't find anything for X8.
As we all know, having 3.5mm audio jack on our X8 allows to connect almost every headset, but we lose the functionality of skipping tracks with the headset control that many other phones have.
I'd like to remap the camera button, when locked, to skip current track.. Is it possible?
-Cheers!

In CM7 you can enable skipping tracks with volume buttons.

Thanks! I didn't know that. I have Froyobread which I think it includes CM6.
I also though about upgrading to Gingerbread (GingerDX). Now I really think this will be worth it

i can skip tracks while using poweramp with my handsfree

Well, but your handsfree has some kind of button, right?. The included with my phone hasn't any buttons at all.. Anyway, I'm downloading GingerDX

Ya it has only one button, but to tell the truth the original handsfree which came along with my x8 also has not button at all, so I bought HKT chinese handsfree music is 4 times louder than the original one

Cool! So, theoretically, any 3.5mm plug headset with button may work? Or yours has that strange connector that Sony implemented?

this is what I have (maybe not exact pic, taken from internet) so I think any handsfree with a button will work with poweramp and winamp... hold button to skip.
and it's so cheap here, you can buy it in 1$ = 90 Rs. almost

Want to freeze the volume limiter 'Nanny' but can't find it

Just rooted the phone today and DL'd TiBu and am looking for the process that causes the volume to decrease with that ridiculous 'Listening at full volume may cause your head to explode' stupid A warning so I can freeze the thing. Tired of constantly having to increase the volume to full when listening to music and then that stupid warning popping up. What is that process called so I can freeze its azz???

Well, that didn't work. The only thing it changes is no notification it's dropping the volume. It still IS dropping the volume about a third down. That is what I want to prevent, not necessarily the notification that it's doing it but the volume drop. Any ideas how to stop it from dropping the volume when I use Google Music, PowerAmp, Pandara, etc???

I use tasker for that. As soon as I plug headphones in I have it set to move volume to max. I've never found another way unfortunately.

That's one thing I miss about my old Razr Maxx, the Moto task manager that allowed me to change values during certain times of day or during certain actions. Does Tasker work pretty well doing that?? I'll charge my phone overnight at times and when it hits 100% it turns the screen on and it never goes off. And the volume is full blast at night and I'll get a task and I'll nearly jump out of my socks when it sounds.

Very Low In-Call Phone Speaker Volume

Hi,
I just got my Nexus 6P. The volume of music is very loud, but of the phone-call speaker mode very weak despite me putting it at max volume while in call.
Is there a fix/ work-around?
Thank you!

Rooting and turning up overall decibals. Though it just sounds like garbage at that point. I have tried it. The speakers are just crappy IMO.

They are great for music, it's just that the phone speakers are extremely weak. Anyone? Help?

I own the phone dude. They are the same speakers. Root it and use a custom kernel to turn up the volume. Not sure what else you think can be done. There is not a separate speaker for only calls.....

I'm not interested in pumping out all my volumes, only phone speaker

Look in your: system/etc/mixer_paths.xml and change all the Digital Volume from 84 to 95 or whatever you want, save, exit and reboot. I haven't had to do this I've been on roms since the 1st hour I received my device. Never noticed the low volume but this is what I did on previous devices and worked fine. Hope that helps.

Since you would have to root to do that, it would be much easier to just install a kernel where you can move a slider to change it. The OP doesn't want all volumes up though. Just phone.

Anyone figure out which one controls just in call ear-speaker volume?

Dolby Atmos

Tap on it to adjust it, it saves the last setting you have it set at.... long press to change the name.

When I tap up to increase sound it just slides back down. Can not go above half way. I have cleared cache.

Got me on that one? I've used Dolby Atmos on other devices (Rooted) and it did the same thing? I think what when songs are playing, they'll register higher than half way and you kind of go off of that?
I've never really liked setting up Dolby Atmos, but once it's set up it sounds really good.

Yes I love the sound. But the customs don't want to go higher whether a song is playing or not.

did you finally figure out how to keep it from sliding back down I am having the same exact issue.

Hi,
I have the same problem and done an extensive research about it on the web. There are 10 kinds of people: One who can set the equaliser settings like they want (even above the magical 50% mark) and those who experience the problem, that the sliders slide back to 50%. I belong to the latter ones and I'm really pissed off about that, because I bought the Phone because of its famous sound qualities and while holding the finger on the equalizer the sound IS amazing. But I'm not willing to do this every time I play music, so any ideas how to solve this issue?
Greetings,
Martin

Basically you don't have to use Atmos if you want good sound quality. Atmos is only made to be used with the speakers. It uses the secondary DAC, which is worse overall.
If you want good sound quality install Viper4ARISE.
P.S. If you don't mind a very high noise floor you can use V4A+Atmos+AK4490 patch together on a custom ROM. It's probably the best way to listen to MP3s even though the noise floor might be somewhat high.
