[Q] Speaker hardware modding possible? - HD2 General

I love my HD2, but there's no getting away from how bad the speaker on the back sounds.
It's extremely tinny and there is no bass especially when compared to my cheapo ZTE BLADE.
Has anyone tried to mod in a new speaker? say maybe one meant for a desire HD?

i hav also HD2 but speaker voice very nice ..

I don't believe the sound quality is any better than the diamond to be honest

I had the same problem in mind when buying blackstone, only I was using Nokia 5610 !!!
the speaker is pretty good!! -- you can tweak your blackstone using HDTweak to make the speaker louder!!! the sound quality is also pretty good, for me(Im a melomaniac ) the only problem which bugs me is- the speaker is on the back(when watching movies its pretty hard to hear something unles you "curve" the sound by putting your hand in the way of speaker!!!!

So, the sounds its the same on diamond? cause its really bad sound on diamond... The HD I think is good cause i see on top of the phone the connector for any headphone. So if really bad sound, i prefer stay with my diamond....
Somebody can help us? with test or things like this?
The sound from the phohe-speaker is really really bad.
Its the main thing bothering my right now, I would love to use some rintones with metalbands but the phone just makes noise, even if its its only clear guitartones it sounds like ****.
Only music that sounds fairly good is trance and stuff, without too much base.
The sound from the 3.5 connetctor is awesome though, especially when using Coreplayer.

In my opinion it's worse then Charmer, Kaiser, Diamond.
Sometimes I can barely hear the person on the other side.
The speakerphone mode is brilliant though...

Increase Max Volume - BT + HEADSET BOOST

Is there a hack for increasing the max volume? It seems to me that the max volume isn't that loud as I want it to be.
I saw some posts for G1 but I'm not sure it those work on desire.
Thanks!
Yeah +1 i want too !!!!!
I was wondering this exact same question as I find that listening to pod casts and media through head phones on my Desire is a lot quieter than listening the same items through the same headphones on my Hero. Making me think it is the phone rather than the actual head phones or apps.
If there is a way to increase the max volume so I can hear music over the noise of the machine at work then I would love to know.
Thanks
Try the Meltus hack in the xda forums somewhere. I've got it cooked it, but have not really tested.

That's the one I was talking about and I believe a read somewhere that it doesn't work on Desire and frankly, I don't understand why, or I think it needs to be just a little adjusted, because we are talking about the same operating system. Right?
Meltus found out that it has to be changed in the kernel for the N1 and desire.
found this:
http://github.com/cyanogen/cm-kernel/commit/f044b1069c4d853e535fce2b800a0af4947a22f7#diff-0
no idea if cyanogen has implemented this already...
it's the ROM
The UK T-Mobile ROM ha very quiet output from the headphone jack. The vanilla HTC one doesn't.
stock rom not good either

I have a stock ROM and the sound on mine is also too low (lower than on my Hero) so I'm hoping a custom ROM can fix it....?
Can confirm after flashing custom rom ( T- mobile UK originally) sound through headphone jack is louder.

u can try one of the custom roms(leedroid or revolution) which are including 20% volume up in their kernels.
Definitely you need to use some of custom roms.. Leedroid 2.2.2 or Revolution HD.. They have sound boost patch.
This Is sick. I have to root my phone and install a Custom Rom just to make my speaker sound better. Why can't htc do this

I'm sure HTC would have gone through a lengthy and detailed testing situation for this product. They obviously felt that the speaker volume was enough to be heard whilst not affecting the quality of the speaker component.
It's a phone though, not a surround sound system.

I think you misunderstand the information revolution. A modern smartphone is not a phone. It is an information/multimedia device. The phone functionality is a relatively small part of the device for most people who use it for Internet, music, video, e-mail, etc. So the poor sound volume is not unimportant.
Horses for courses. I have a custom Rom with enhanced sound but I wouldn't know any different. If I want to watch or listen to something I plug in headphones anyway, it doesn't bother me.

Lol, Viva La Révolution! Agree to the above, but if it means that more little buggers plug in headphones rather than listening to crap music out of a one-inch speaker as they walk down the road then I'm all for moderately adequate volume. Or maybe I'm just getting old before my time
Realistically speaking though, you can't expect miracles to come out of a speaker that small. Although software technology has advanced in terms of what can be achieved in audio output (hence the Dolby and SRS), the hardware hasn't come along in leaps and bounds and is limited to what can be achieved.
There is a post about a fix on hemorrdroids.net/do-you-wish-your-desire-hd-speaker-could-be-louder/
You will need root and a custom recovery though...
people who use custom rom with loud speaker
copy&upload default.acdb
from
/system/etc/firmware
i think this file for loud speaker
For me, speaker is ok.
It's really designed to be used with headphones for the multimedia audio.

I agree
Though alarms are quieter than on my moto milestone one day it didn't wake me up
Today was a success, volume was good. I need the rooster alarm file from the milestone LOL the htc ones are "quietly brilliant"
Come on ppl Have you compared it to an iPhone? Our speakers suck. No I am not an iPhone fan but there is a huge difference. Not just the speakers but also the incall volume.
I am on a custom ROM with the 20% increase thru out and it helps but it still doesn't compare to an ancient Nokia (work phone) I have next to me.
With headphones no issue at all.
Just have to live it cause the rest of the phone makes up for it.
True the iclone has a better speaker but it is attached to an inferior phone.

[COMPILATION] Latest HD2 (2012 edition) Roms with Loud Sounds

Hi. Most of the time I read a lot of queries in the dev post asking how to make the sound louder (especially the ringtones) and looking for fixes. This thread aims to help those wanting louder sounds in their HD2.Please feel free to add other 2012 roms that in your experience has this feature. Thanks.:angel:
I am currently using these because of the loud sound feature:
GB
My HD2 Tmous: Team Blue Droid SENSE 3.5+ HTC ONE X TWEAKS EU TMO
ICS
My HD2 EU: Leo King 2.3.6 ICS 4.0.4_CM9_Rc2_Bulletproof
It's the one thing that annoys me about the HD2, I can hardly hear the ringtone in loudish places, if I could get ringtones/alarms as loud as the WP7.x ROMs it would be perfect.
Yup... sometimes you just look and oopps! 10 missed calls (wife) ...

good excuse to teh wife, weak ringtone lol
try those trance/ club ringtones in google play, some are really loud with high pitch.
I wonder if there's a way yo mod the speaker coz even if WP7 ringtones are loud the sound is already muffled or distorted which means the speaker can't handle high SPL sound.
....unlike those China Clones which can be heard from miles aways in a busy subway lol :cyclops:
Yup mengfei's right (name my favorite classic kung-fu character!).. the China clones are really loud (I have a haipai "Note" with ICS)... everyone can hear the ringtone in a mall. And.. good battery life too. I just can't seem to install recovery although there is a thread about it here.
Why not just use Volume+?
Volume+..Louder Volume Hack..etc. are apps installed after the rom. It would be nice to know roms developed already with such loud feature.
Unless the ones I use now are the loudest then those looking for loud sounds may give it a try.:good:

Better sound in stock ROM, it's possible?

Hi, I have S8 Exynos version and would like to give a better sound to it. It's possible to improve sound quality without root?
Other issue about de sound that bothering me, it's the min. volume of the phone. When I'm listening to an WhatsApp audio, or even a common call, the minimum volume it still a lit bit loud to me. If anyone it's near me, the person can listen to it. Anyway to solve this without root too?
Thanks
I use Poweramp. It does enhance the music output significantly.
How you installed any app recently or the phone has been behaving like this ever since you bought it?

The sound issue is present ever since you bought the phone? Or you noticed it recently?
I am asking because I want to know if the root cause of this issue is due to manufacturing or developed after you have installed an app.

It's not an really issue, is just something that bother me because I don't have a good amplification and like I said, the minimum volume of audios in calls or whatsapp audios it's too loud
I compared with my friend's iPhone X and noticed immediaty the sound from the iPhone X blew my Galaxy S8 Active right away!
The iPhone X speaker has much fuller rich tone and bass. Galaxy S8 sounds like all tremble.
