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.
just found a video on youtube that shows how bad the speaker is on the hd compared to a old n95
Yeah the speaker sucks, my old phone was the N95 and the speakers on that are a lot better than the DHD I have now.

I agree that the speaker on DHD is be low and "terrible" to people but I don't think it is fair to compare it to the nokia n95 which I think probably have one of the best speakerS (since it has 2 huge external speakers). Nokia is known for being a great music phone too.
aah, the N95, amazing sound. Used to have it for a long time, then got my first HTC (touch HD) and was extremely disappointed with the sound quality, and now that I got the desire hd, my ears got used to the crappy low-tech sound quality! well you cant have them all in one phone
wonder
I just wonder if there is HW problem with speaker or its simply limited by software ? because I really couldnt belive that it would be that big problem to add louder speaker..
To start with, I made that comparison video. So if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
I am utterly disappointed by the speaker quality of the Desire HD.
I fear that this is hardware related, as the speakers sound very high-pitched, without any low tones at all. Also, when at maximum volume playing high toned music, the sound starts to distort and crackle. As you can hear, you can hear the low tones pretty loud and clear on the N95, but on the Desire HD, you can't hear it at all. The volume is noticeably about 2.5x louder on the N95.
If you compare the Desire HD with the Galaxy S, you will quickly notice that the Galaxy S has even better speakers than the N95, with plenty of low tones, at a high volume. The volume of the Galaxy S is many times higher and clearer than the Desire HD.
All of this leads me to conclude that for a flagship phone as the Desire HD is, it really has crappy speakers, and I truly don't understand how they could make a ****up like this. How much would good speakers cost anyway? Cents?
I expect a flagship multimedia phone like the Desire HD is to have proper speakers, comparable or better than we had in the N95 time (the flagship multimedia phone 3+ years ago). Samsung seems not to have any trouble to achieve this, but for some reason HTC didn't -utterly unexpected-.
Now let me be clear: even with the bad speakers, the Desire HD is a much better choice than the Galaxy S for several reasons, but really, HOW THE HELL have they achieved to fail so miserably on this point?? I'll make another video soon to compare speakers of the Desire HD against the Galaxy S. Also check out the other video's in my channel, rate and comment!
I think in general HTC's phones have sucky speakers, even that new HTC 7 phone with that big speaker isn't that impressive.
tried poweramp and turned they volumes up on that and it just crackled looks like its gunna be a replacement speaker hopefully the samsung galaxy s is similar in design, if so ill try and make it fit lol
What a shame on DHD about that poor loudspeakers. I do not care about music because I am sure that most of people are using headphones like Sennheisser or something like that but about ring loudness and vibration feeling, it really sucks.
You pay so much to this phone and knowing that you will be left with those speakers are really annoying.

The most Annoying thing is that I can't even hear it in my pocket as a matter of fact the speaker is so bad I even managed to miss 3 calls when the phone was layed speaker side down on the floor even though I was in the same room, really annoying

Sorry but this seems a bit exagerated! You're saying that having the dhd on the floor and being you in the same room, you couldn't hear a phone call? Come on..you were looking to TV with highest volume, or listening to music with earphones, or something similar...otherwise, sorry, I can't believe you!
Anyway, apart from this, I admit the speaker is really CRAP. I hate this. Hopefully vibration is good enough to feel the phone vibrating in your pocket, because the speaker could make you miss calls when in a sound-crouded area.
p.s. did we all have N95s before the dhd?? I had the 8Gb and...its screen has gone! It had the greatest speakers I have ever heard anyway, so the comparison is not that fair. Most phones don't have good speakers, but the one on the dhd is really RIDICOLOUS!

i was watching tv, and the phone was around 5/6 meters away and i didnt have vibration on.. to be honest i couldnt believe it myself i even rang the phone to see if any music was playing lol
so how is in-call volume? is it just external sound or in-call volume sucks too?
That extremely inaccurate, the speaker, if configured properly is very very good. I an audiophile, I love sound quality, I've experienced many devices. The Desire Hd stands out by far for the smartphone category. N97? Come on. I be owned one of these they were decent..

So that would mean that all of us have faulty speakers.
Someone else also said his speakers were great, so I guess a few people got decent ones.
Can we use SE Live View with this ? Does it have better speakers than this ? A option for not missing the calls ??
P.S- I m yet to buy DHD

Are you sure you are talking about de DHD? And how did you configure it properly, besides changing volume settings?

I don't know how he configured his DHD properly, but i think on DHD there're much more options to optimize sound quality than changing volume. I think abound de-/activate SRS and/or dolby mobile and there should be also an equalizer be integrated.
Think about that you shouln'd compare the quality of sound with any other devices than other smartphones or mobiles.
I've registered just to post a comment on the speaker quality. It's terrible. I'm not talking about headphones or the internal speaker. Specifically the loudspeaker. It's tinny, clips at higher volumes, and is worse than phones I had more than 5 years ago. I'm seriously considering sending the phone back on this basis.
Yep they are crap. I can't believe they've put something like this in one of the most expensive devices on the market.
Yesterday I was watching an episode of Family Guy and the quality of the sound was terrible. I thought it could be because of the codecs I used to convert the vid. I tried few mp3s (256bit) still crap. The louder I've put the volume the lower the quality went. Very very disappointing.
Still though... I love the phone and wouldn't change it for anything else. I wasn't expecting to get All-in-one device.
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.

I'm not going to lie. Coming from an iPhone and a Galaxy S6 (my Moto G is sort of an interim phone while I sell those two to afford new stuff this fall), I expected the Moto G to sound considerably worse. And yeah, it's not quite as good. But it's certainly far from the worst I've had and I've only owned expensive devices in the past. The bass is punchy, the treble is fairly decent, and the volume levels aren't awful (although I may increase mixer_paths at some point to gain a couple levels). I've actually been listening through fairly decent earbuds for the past 40 minutes or so to various types of music (alternative, acoustic, heavy stuff, rap) and I could definitely live with this sound quality if I had to.
It is pretty damn amazing what ~$200 buys you today.
I've noticed this too! Big upgrade from my n4, no more distortion!
the earphones are 'good' for the price ... cant expect more at this price point
My ear is in a full moon party.
Yeah, this is awesome.
I'm using CM12.1 With a Dolby Atmis and Jet player.
After a hour to configure the player, my brain explode with the results.
Quality-wise, yes...very good. Volume-wise, I'd say it's extremely subpar. It's easily the lowest volume of any device I've ever had. Speaker volume is phenomenal...headphone volume is god awful!!! And I'm comparing this to my Nexus 4, just as the OP says.
You can mention the speaker which gives a quite punchy sound compared to many phones from this category which are mostly ear hurting with middle and high frequencies only...
If anyone's looking for a little boost without messing with viper, etc, I made a mixer_paths.xml mod here

The mod thread I linked above makes headphone volume LOUD!!! It can go a few notches higher, but I think it sounds great, personally...it also boosts speaker volume pretty much to its limit. It may get slightly distorted occasionally, but it's definitely a good bit louder, as well!
Motorola has done an excellent job. the sound is excellent. the happy moment. :highfive:

Hey guys, I'm new here and enjoying my silver Mate 8 to the fullest but I have a question for you all. The sound of my Mate 's speaker sounds solid when the volume is half way but when I crank it up the sound is getting distorted and not as clear as volume low or half way. Is this normal for this phone or could I have a bad unit? Also, when a sound (music, Youtube etc.) is finished playing i hear a soft static for 1 or 2 seconds followed by a click. The click is only noticable when I'm in a quiet room or if put the speaker to my ear. Is my OCD getting the better of m:silly:e or is this really an issue for a phone swap?
Thanks in advance!
I guess it is normal. Comparing to s6 edge. The speaker of mate 8 produce better sound quality In medium volume (give mean impression of wow, never hear the vocal and music instrument mix so well. Where s6 edge vocal is clear but instrument sounded too tight together.)
. But if compare both on max volume. Mate 8 indeed suffer some distortion and not clear.

Oke thanks. And the clicking sound after each sound is normal or might be a hardware/software issue (see a lot of 'complaints' about this issue on all brands)? I just played a Facebook video and noticed a much softer click than with the system sounds/music. You should expect the sound to be the same all around if it is the speaker going off. Weird.

i love my mate 8 its really a good device but i have only one issue with it, its the low speaker volume i noticed this since the first day i got it (speaking from an ex. samsung note 5 user) i can surely say that the note 5 speaker is much louder and its so strange how big the difference is so i was thinking that maybe i have a defective mate 8?
