Can some of you tell me the sound quality of the N1 when your phone rings and the ringtone starts to play? Or if you are playing music without headphones. I have had the G1 since day one and recently bought my wife the MyTouch3g and the audio quality was day and night (MyTouch kicking the G1's ass in quality). Can anybody tell me the difference between the N1 and the MyTouch or the G1?
Thanks!!!
Seems pretty impressive to me, used it a few times and could hear it well, even from the other rooom I could hear it well. I have a G1 and mytouch and as far as I can tell its a lot louder.

Whew - I was worried it sucked - Thanks!
Got my N1 tonight - you weren't lying - sound is very impressive compared to the G1 and MyTouch3g
This baby sounds great & better than my past WM devices!
Oh, is there a market player or update to play my ton of wma music files?
My N1 is MUCH quieter than my Hero was. It sounds decent for ringtones and such, a little tinny but not bad.

Was your Hero really loud with bad sound quality? I never cared for extremely loud devices (It seemed grainy and poor quality). I prefer medium to loud but with excellent quality. And how MUCH quieter??
My Hero was louder than this phone... not obscenely loud, though. It WOULD get loud enough to distort when playing music/ringtones at max volume, but lowering it one notch eliminated it.
I kept my Hero at about half volume for the ringer, and it was perfectly audible from the next room or when I had music playing in the car, things like that (not loud enough to be uncomfortable while at home or hanging out with friends, though).
My N1 is clear, although tinny like I said, and will not distort, but that's because it can't get loud enough to. At max volume my N1 still almost can't be heard from the next room with nothing else going on, you'd have to know what to listen for.
It's clear, and when I have it way up I can hear it, but it's not loud enough IMO. This may just be my unit, as others are apparently not having this issue, but I am.
The speaker is ok. It's not as loud as my past Nokia's (which had the best speakers), but it's about on par with the iPhone's speakers. It's pretty clear, just not loud enough sometimes. Although if the source volume is quite high, it can get pretty loud, such as playing a video or music. For some reason the ring tones are innately lower in volume.

I noticed that too about the ringtones not being as loud - Sounds like there's a need for a volume hack (no pun intended).
coming from Touch pro 2, I'm a lil disappointed wit the max volume on the nexus, but I'm sure there wit be a way soon 2 bump it up some. It is very clear though

yes sur. It's just as clear. Out the box, it was a lil louder than the Nexus. But after I put a Audio boost par in it, wow. Kept the quality and was loud. I rarely had the volume all the way up.
I'm pretty curious to know since GSMArena lambasted the audio output of the device when playing via headphones.
How do you guys find the quality? Acceptable?
I find it to be pretty good, even with the earphones that came with it.

How about the speaker where we listen to other people when we are on a call?
And other people hear you well?
People on call sound very clear, and I haven't had any complaints from people while I'm talking to them.
sound quality is fine i have no complaints or issues reported from people i have called or have called me speaker phone is good no issues there unless the volume is all the way up it will distort but that is the same for most phones i beleive
i also have it paired with the sexii SE HBH is800 and have no issues
PS im loving the phone
Tough choice... I wish the screen is 4inch thou. The price point is ideal for an early adopter set.
Just want to add my two bits:
The phone call audio quality is actually very good. I had the Milestone (Droid) before and this is better. The audio quality through headphones is also good.
Where it isn't so good is for speakerphone. I don't use that very often, but if you listen to music out loud all the time, this probably isn't the phone for you (get a Surround!).
P.S. I am also in love with my phone!

Thanks for all your answers!
Commander Data one question, i dont listen to music that much, but now and then i like too. Do you mean the speakerphone is bad quality or low volume?
I'm also concerned because i use a lot of calls on speakerphone... What are your opinions?
Thanks in advance!

It's certainly manageable. I just had a 15 minute conversation on speakerphone and the other person seemed to be able to hear me fine and I could hear them fine, it's just not excellent. I came from the Milestone, which has a superb speaker. I would say the speaker on the LG is probably half the size so it really comes down to volume. If you crank it, it gets fairly distorted (especially on calls), but at medium volume there is no distortion and you can hear it fine. In other words, it is not a selling feature on the phone, but not a detractor (I had a Blackberry before this and it wasn't as good on speakerphone). Personally, the LG's superior built quality all around is more than enough to make up for a middle of the road speaker. I think gsmarena complained about the speaker because the rest of the phone is truly at premium class and they would have liked to have seen the speaker at the premium level too.
Edit: I should note that the conversation I had on speakerphone had two other people listening in with me and they heard fine.
Thanks Commander
I have had my dell streak for a few months now and im starting to notice that the media volume dosent go as high as I would like it to. Ive tried using volume booster apps or media players with ajustable equalizers. Im even concidering a portable headphone amp so I can use my sennheisers without them being to quiet. What would be the best way to increase the maximum volume of the phone?

The sad part is in the original 1.6 rom the headphone volume was normal to me as in it was loud like my ipod touch. When i updated to 2.2.2 its now not as loud which is dumb. i would like to be able to hook it into my car cd player and actually have volume like before. oh and i am also i am using a custom rom. streakdroid 1.9 and its is not as loud as well any one fiound a fix for this or mabey some of the devs see this and address this issue in their next build.....PLZ?
Same darn problem
Ever since 2.2, media volume via headphones especially, is too low!
I reduce volume to 0 still hearing noise sound..
My dell streak sound quality is bad. When I reduce volume to 0 still hearing noise sound (playing mp3 or video). I am using at&t 2.2. can it solve via software update? is it hardware problem?
thanks!
Did anyone find a solution to the low media volume ? Im also noticing its very low, and im on streakdroid 1.9 with the volume hack installed but even that hasnt made it loud like it should be.
I find its perfectly loud, any louder and you're going to damage our ears. what headphones are people using. I'm using the Sennheiser CX 300-II excellent headphones for how cheap they are, i do use poweramp, with slight volume increase on the preamp. But if i whack it up anymore its to loud and i get distortion in the headphones.

Yeah i find the rear speaker to be very low when playing music, running copilot and many other apps. Infact the only app i've noticed to have a loud volume with the streak is bbci player. This wasnt the case on the original stock rom (316 i believe) so its something to do with 2.2.2. Before upgrading my streak was quite loud all round.

Hmmmm. I think I am sticking with not updating to 2.2.2 at this time.
you can cup you hand round the speaker to amplify the sound like a gramophone works. Its aslo a comfortable way to hold the phone as well.
Hope this helps as a workround.

me too...
after upgrading from 2.2 to 2.2.2 I've noticed a significant decrease in ringtone, media and alarm volume, there is also a flickering noise in ear speaker during calls which is very annoying.
If there is no solution to this, I'm thinking to switch back to 2.2
I had been listening mp3 on android based HD2 with the high of %65.
Now with that dell streak I have been listening %90 or 100 and while in the middle of the city, %100 may not be loud enough.
I do not care ringtone speaker vs. The only low sound level I care is the sound level via 3.5mm wired headphone media volume. I also use minimalisting program tiny player which has no eq or visual effects.
It sounds loud enough on the headphones but when you try to plug it into any external speaker or amp like a car stereo or an xmi speaker the audio volume limiting system that they included with 2.2, the output is too low. It's a bummer that you can't turn off the avls like a lot of other devices. Dumb, I wish they'd fix it, I'd love to use it in the car but it's way too quiet.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Hmmm, 2.2.2 is definitely on the low side...what's the deal of such low volume - isn't the Streak a multimedia device as well? The volume is a shame - even my old phones' volumes are louder. Hope they fix this up in their next firmware. I really can't understand the idea to lower the volume - aren't there people who test the firmwares and made this remark at Dell before releasing??
guys, stop complaining and provide solutions for the ****ty sound, we all know it ain't loud enough...
Hopefully someone will provide solutions to increasing and improving sound.
Complaining about it won't make it any louder, we need a proper fix!!
I noticed that during loud crashes and explosion, the galaxy s4 speakers distorts while my s3 didn't. It seems like it has much more treble which seems to be what's causing the distortion. Anyone else notice the difference in sounds or is mine damaged out of the box?
This is only with the volume maxed.

The speaker is different i know. When i put my text tones on it, they sound like its more stereo but also in like a box or hall with some echo which i think is what causes the distortion.

Well, thanks for the response, if they made it that way then there is nothing I can do about it. I just wanted to make sure that mine wasn't broken.
I think the speaker phone sounds awesome.

it does sound awesome but compared to the SIII it does sound different. mine sounds like it echos for some things and then others it sounds incredible. i think its the bass and treble settings.
I think that they only tested it out for music. It sounds great during most music but any loud explosions or crashes is where the increased treble is the culprit. I wish there was an equalizer type setting where I could lower the treble.

Once the custom roms get going/they make them compatible with our device, I'm sure with DSP manager or Awesome Beats or any of the other sounds mods, you will be able edit the various sound options to your liking!

Lol, are you guys actually complaining about the sound quality of the built-in speaker during movies? It's not even designed to have the frequency response of a pair of $5 headphones, much less reproducing accurate explosions and crashes. Think about it, you have a tiny speaker that is pushing out sound loud enough to where you can actually hear it well enough from far away. It's there for one reason only, to have to ability to do a hands-free phone call.

If you are going to respond to a 1 year old topic at least make sure that your response is somewhat relevant. This was made in comparison with the galaxy SIII. I was just making sure that my speaker wasn't broken. There was only one guy here comparing it to a ****ty iphone.
The guy before you doesn't even deserve a response. Since I'm commenting here, I'm sure that they messed with the sound on one of it's many updates as it doesn't distort anymore.
Hello im sure everyone knows how this speaker blows
