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.
Are you satisfied with the external speakers on the Desire HD?
Everyone please answer the poll so we can get an accurate idea of what Desire HD users think about the external speakers.
I've read so many post on how bad their speaker is, but I must say, either I have bad ears, or I'm lucky, and got one with a great speaker. No problem making it loud enough, and I can even make it too loud. All without any crackling, or distortion. I love it!

I guess it may be a 1st batch issue then. If your speakers really are good it would mean that all our speakers are faulty. If this is the case it's a warranty issue, so we could get it fixed.
Could you make a video of the sound, preferably comparing it to another phone?

Yep. I post it as soon as I can.
I can hardly wait!
I have a DHD from the first batch and the external speaker sound is not loud enough (even on max.) and the sound quality is poor.
Not happy.
I'm getting similar sound quality from an over 2 year old TouchPro.
Contacted HTC support and all they advised was to remove battery reboot and check volume was set to maximum.
Told them that had been done - no reply since...........

Already posted in the other thread, but considering I registered here just to complain about this speaker, I figured why not post again here
Speaker reminds me of an old Nokia that I sent back within the first week of receiving it. Except it's worse. Tinny and crackly. HTC can do far better. I'm still undecided as to whether I'll keep the phone as a result. I've ordered a bluetooth headset just to deal with this issue, but now I read that it's having problems with the BT headsets too!
can't you use DSPmanager and increase the volume of the loud speaker? We have full root after all.

I haven't tried that, but I have tried PowerAmp music player to boost music.
The result was as I expected: hardly any increase in volume, at the expense of crackly distorted bad sound quality - worse than it was at "normal" levels.
The strange thing is this:
Some apps sounds louder and some is hard to hear.
Have all volume sliders at max.
An MP3 used as alarm sounds higher then one played trough the mediaplayer.
Isnt this strange?
I have been missing calls at work so i bought a Samsung Bluetooth speaker BS300. It has just landed today. It is small and thin and also the sound quality is excellent and loud. I am waiting for the battery now to charge and i will leave a few comments later when i have made and received a few calls with it
I found the speaker was quite poor and sold the phone. Not just because of the speaker, was more that I just didn't feel it was a significant upgrade over the normal Desire.
Anyway, before I sold the DHD I compared the sound against my Desire, a Samsung i8910 and a Nokia N95. Even the old Nokia sounded better than both HTC phones and the Samsung just blew everything away.
I understand there's a lot of sound technology in the phone, but it only works if using headphones. Speaker is just a token affair as far as I'm concerned.
Just to make sure,
I hope there are no complaints related with the quality of the sound with a good set of headphones like Sennheisser or something like that, right?

I don't have a good video camera, and nobody has one to lend me. I tried several phones that have video, but they all come out bad. I'm working on it. If I can't find one this week, I'm just going to buy one. I can always use it for other stuff. Don't worry I didn't forget about it.
Some of the worst phone speakers I have come across
Shame, the rest of the phone is great

Thanks for taking the effort, as this could be a major development.
If your speaker really is very good, we can show this to HTC, and they will have to say that this is a warranty issue.
Personally I do really hope it is, because like london_euphoria said: the rest of the phone is great, it's only the external speaker that is a drawback.

Agree. That's why I want to make sure it's a recording of the true quality, not a choppy cell phone recording. Bare with me. I should have it up this week.
Transferred an MP3 from my PC to my tablet and the sound is just way off, even with volume at mid level. The distortion is really bad and i tried it on my PC and tablet using different headphones. Is this a known issue and is there an update to resolve this now?
Yea I don't know if this just me or others r having this issue too, but my speakers are bad too and I don't like the audio fidelity out of them. Also my right speaker is louder than the left
it's weird that movie sounds are great but somehow MP3 is just bad.
that's one thing i noticed when comparing it with the xoom is that the tf distorts at lower volumes, the treble is set too high and it doesn't get as loud as the xoom... plus the right speaker is louder than the left.
some people said they have no problems so i could be a defect... i had on 2 units i had... quality control is not a strong point with the tf.

For most users the right speaker seems to be louder, hopefully that'll be fixed in a next fota.
But about the quality, is it really bad/not listenable or is it just low quality? Mine are fine for game-sounds but on such a tablet I don't expect perfect sound that fills the room like you're in a concert hall. Especially not since we always want the tablet to be lighter and thinner, you can't expect great and impressive speakers.
To compare with the iPad2 btw, the sound quality is alike.

For me the quality is low/bad. I'm playing an online movie trailer on my captivate n transformer. The captivate sound fidelity is way better
I notice this as well, very low volume coming out of them

so either the ipad 2 sound is worse than ipad 1 or your tf is better than the 2 tf's i've tested. the xoom was close to the ipad's sound, the tf isn't even close.

Hmm... I wonder if something is wrong with mine then.
My Transformer sounds okay, but my iPad 2 sounds WAY better.
Much clearer, less muted, more defined sound in games and music.
could be that he perceives the stereo sound as better vs mono. as sound quality goes, the ipad better.
When I have my friends iPad2 again I'll try to do a more precise comparison with the same 320kbps cbr song playing on both devices and analyze the different levels and distortion, but in my previous experience here was not such a big difference.
Ps. Wow, using the quick reply text area is extremely buggy and laggy with the onscreen keyboard. The text pointer is also a few centimeters before the actual place. Anybody else noticed this?
yeah. typing here is really bad wiht the stock keyboard. i've started using thumb keyboard and it's a bit less laggy. the dock is even better.
i've read that 3.1 takes care of some of the lag problems here. hopefully we'll get it soon... and a fix for the messed up speaker balance.

FYI, I did a little test with the same song on TF and iPad2 with Spotify Mobile (160kbps ogg vorbis). With iOS i'm not exactly how well the conversion is from mp3 to the needed audio format so that's why the Spotify.
But I have to admit, if you pay close attention you can hear that the sound on the iPad2 has a more realistic display of mid-range and is also a bit heavier on the bass. They both are bad on the higher frequency and as soon as you turn the volume up they immediately start squealing and 'chirping'. To conclude, the speakers on both the devices are no hifi-speakers and the iPad2 is slightly better...
Speakers are bad on mine also. Almost inaudible at full volume and bad quality. Sound actually seems better off of my dinc. You know the old joke- the food was terrible but at least the portions were big. Well the sound is bad but at least you can't hear it.
Still love this thing though
I returned my tf101 because the right speaker just stopped working.
I can deal with software glitches but when the hardware starts malfunctioning then its time to return the item.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
ok one of the main reasons that I have bought the xperia play (besides the gamepad) is powerful speakers!
the thing is... mine is very low.
actually I think my previews galaxy had better speaker
so could it region related? having different models and such?
or could it be software problem?
model number:R800I
that's really weird mine is super quality and high sound ...

Same here! knocks spots off the sound of my old samsung galaxy s and iphone 4
mine are loud too but i noticed some games dont adjust the media volume they adjust the ringer volume. Are you sure they are set to 100%? try angry birds or something and see if media volume is 100%
Mine are pretty awesome too.
Only slightly better than iphone speakers though, although better anyway.
Maybe you have one of the two speaker not working
really mine is so loud specially when he is deployed / splitted
Hi, I am going to buy ZE550KL. I read in a review that sound output from loudspeaker is very low. Is it true? I use loudspeaker a lot in my phone calls. Will it be a problem for me?

If you turn off ASUS AudioWizard, the sound of loudspeaker will be low.

How low is it (a comparison with something would be great)? Can it fill a room? I own a Galaxy S advance and the sound on it is so low that sometimes I can't even hear the ringtone when I am near the room the phone is kept in.

I can't make a compare but the loudspeaker is pretty loud with max volume and activated AudioWizard. Sound can fill my room.

Thanks. One last thing. Is the phone call audio output via loudspeaker good or not? Most of the time I am taking calls on loudspeaker.

I can't say anything about it, I used loudspeaker for call for only one time. Loudspeaker worked fine though.
Flash dolby n speaker sound will be loud then
Got the phone and I am using it for quite a few days. The loudspeaker is fine. It's not too low as mentioned in reviews. It's lower than some smartphones like Moto G. But it is still loud enough to fill the room with Asus audio wizard. I found this phone better than Moto G in many ways and for the price I have to say I am impressed with it. Only downside is the Camera which is average in inadequate lighting but hey for the price I paid I really can't complain. ZenUI is awesome. I am coming from Touchwiz which is crap and laggy compared to ZenUI. Call quality is also really good. Overall Excellent phone. For those having doubts about loudspeaker's capability just don't doubt and GO FOR IT. I recommend this phone for the low price and the quality and functionality it provides
Edit: I forgot to mention the amazing battery life I am getting on ZFL2. 5 hours of SOT and 2 days standby which will only get better when it gets Android 6.0 with DOZE. One of the best battery life I have seen in an Android phone.
