my dell streak is really quiet when i make phone calls or receive phone calls is there any way to sort this out or am i stuck with a quiet whisper of a speaker
seriously guys anyone have any ideas is my streak just broke or am i doing something wrong
Did you take off the thin plastic film on the ear speaker? as stupid as that sounds a lot of people have had this.
dude try this.
try this..
worked for me..
http://androidaudiohacks.com/home/
it's called Louder Volume Hack
use the make a back up button first and try level 2 r2 somewhere in the middle otherwise may experience distortion.
IF this helps fell free to say thanks!
v3.6 worked, justed upgraded to v4.0 seems to work too
thanks guys it was actually a combination of the 2 that sorted me out suprising how much difference that film makes but it really does and that little program is useful thankyou lots guys
i never had any issue with volume issues on 1.6, O2 2.2, and 2.2
Does it still sound crisp with the film removed? Or is it a bit distorted?
sounds pretty crisp to me but i have only ever used it when it was really quiet so what would i know
Mine is the oppisite.. It sounds like a speaker phone on regular volume. Also my regular speaker is VERY loud and clear, Playing pandora and music sounds great.

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!
anyone ?

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
I bought a Desire HD last month but returned it after a few days because it was just too big to be comfortable for daily use but the biggest reason was the crappy speaker volume. I was constantly missing calls because I couldn't hear the phone ringing when in my pocket.
My question is is how loud is the external speaker on the Desire Z? For quick comparison I find my normal Desire just adequate enough to be heard normally.
Would also be interested in hearing a reply on this... Thinking of going ahead now and getting the DZ, but would like to know what the speaker is like for ringtones/alert tones etc...
I would say in general the speaker volume is not as loud as it could be. It is certainly not as loud as my milestone is. I havent missed any calls yet, but I have it turned up all the way for ringer and notification and wish it could be louder.
Its not a deal breaker for me, but could be for some.
The speaker is moderately loud. The main issue people are having is that the quality of sound out of the speaker itself is rather poor. As someone who almost always has his phone on vibrate and never uses actual music as his ringtone, I haven't noticed it.

I'd say the ringer is pretty quiet to be honest, personally I'd like to make it louder as I'm sure I'll never hear it in my pocket.

Not sounding too good then regarding ringing volume?!
Any TP2 users who can say whether this is better/worse/same as the TP2 volume? Do you find that you are missing more calls?
I'm currently using an Orange San Fran phone whilst deciding, and going from the TP2 to the San Fran, I can say that I miss most calls... lol. For example, the phone underneath the settee last week, and I couldn't find it. So, rang it to try and find it. Couldn't even hear the ringing!!! Only noticed it when was about a foot away from it...
My almost 50 year old ears have problems anyway, so I leave my phone in vibrate mode and in my shirt pocket, so I can feel it more than hear it if I'm in a noisy place.
I've also taken to wearing a BT headset, now that I can hear
/current phone is a TYTN II -- should get me Z tomorrow
I think the Z might be a little too heavy for a shirt pocket :-/
Anyone else notice how the Nexus S speaker sound quality is a bit distorted, sort of like static but not really static? It is not that it isn't loud - it is. Rather, the sounds like the sound is not properly coming from the speaker, like something is blocking part of it.
Is it just me?
(BTW I am talking about the speaker in the back, not the ear piece.)

It must be my speaker, then. It is really bothering me.

other people have been reporting it as well, maybe im just lucky, but idk
Mine sounds fine... Maybe take it to a local BBY and compare ringtones on each? Maybe that could help you justify your decision.
Mine sounds fine too, although I'll admit the sound isn't as clear and loud as my Epic was.

I just did. Same issue on it. I am going to assume it is the same issue on all Nexus S phones.
I would say that on my NS the loud speaker on the back is quite good with amazing bass for a phone speaker, however the phone ear speaker is tinny sounding and very noisy in calls compared to my N1 because of the lack of the noise canceling 2nd microphone. It is a bit disappointing and is the main reason that I may return the NS and hold on to my N1.

Mine actually sounds a lot better than my N1 did. A lot louder that's for sure.
mine is loud and crisp.

People have told me that my phone is picking up tons of ambient noise when I am talking to them and my earpiece volume is pretty low on my end. Only complaint about the phone. Hoping that once the custom roms drop they will have the same volume boost i loved so much on my n1 cyanogen roms.
I first noticed it sounded a bit muffled compared to my Vibrant, which should have a similar if not the same speaker. I think it's just a tweaking of the treble that will fix it though... the Vibrant sounded a bit more tinny so I'm quite sure it can be adjusted with an equalizer to sound similar.

my ear piece is distorted if on max
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I don't think it has because I check the forums daily.
Sometimes, when I get in a call with someone, my earpiece will make a very loud buzzing noise, and it's not the regular small background buzz. It's not even a buzz, It's more like a blasting sound, and you cannot hear voices when the sound is on, and I have to end the call, and call back to fix it. Any idea what this could be? It also happened on stock rom, and custom rom with a custom kernel.
I'm starting to lose hope on this phone. I've gotten 2 replacements so far, and both have had a high pitched sound coming from the earpiece, wether on voice calls or not. Is this crap just found on some N4's or pretty much all of them? I've never had such a poorly put together device. I don't mind the yellowish screen, the rattle, the hot back, or any other minor defect. Just feels like I'll never get a good one. *sigh*
It's my third phone and it still has the buzzing everything else besides the bottom plastic creaking when I press it but everything else is fine so I'm gonna keep it.

So I got whipped cream in my top speaker of my phone and at fist there was like no audio coming from the speaker at all; but after an hour or so the audio came back to roughly 80% of the original volume, but it sounds slightly distorted (or clipping in high volume levels, when the other speaker doesn't). My biggest concern was that I couldn't hear people talking to me over calls, but after the return of some audio I can hear people pretty well again, I just wanted to know if anyone had some ideas or experience with this??
Thanks in advance!

I'm not even going to begin to ask.
Turn the phone off:
You might try some alcohol into the grill and gently use compressed air to get it out.
May clean the whipped cream residue.
I'm not even going to ask......
