Do I recently got a gelaskin for my phone and discoveres it came with a tiny cutout next to the flash. Then saw a disassemblt video and noticed that the DHD in the video had a little hole. It looks like a microphone hole for noise cancellation I'm assuming, but I don't have it.
What is this hole, and who else doesn't have it?
Google it to find pics of some DHDs with it.

For your GPS :>
It is indeed a second microphone for noise cancellation but it is only on At&t Inspire 4G and not on our unbranded or other carriers Desire HD.
very fair...
Thanks for the reply, wonder why us normal DHD users don't get it..
Telus (Canada) Desire HD's also have the noise cancellation microphone.

Hey there,
My HD makes a resonating / ratling noise when I tap my finger on the camera area at the bakside.
Is someone else experiencing this too?
I tried twisting it a bit, pressing between fingers but it still resonates.
Is this perhaps the G-sensor / accelometer?
I've also noticed that, even with the stylus removed, if you hold the HD in one hand and tap it against you other hand, you can hear something move.
Now that you mention it, I guess it must be the G-sensor!
So.... is it?!
A small rattling is probably the G-sensor, my K850 makes a small noise due to it too.
It's the G Sensor. Give it a shake and you'll hear it carry on for a few seconds with your ear near the phone.
G-sensor? Not likely
I do not think so. G-sensors are solid-state devices: no moving pieces inside.

Well accelerometer then, it's definately one of the two.
Well, the sensors do have moving parts - but I was fairly sure that those are of microscopic proportions (micromachined silicon).
I would be surprised if it was that.
Perhaps there's a hidden tray inside with a ball-bearing, necessary to run "teeter"
Today the messenger from Vodafone at my house to exchange the HD.
Guess what... the new one made the same noise.
A light resonating noise at the camera area at the back.
The messenger took the new one with him and left me my old one.
Vodafone will get in touch with me he said.
Anybody else experiencing this noise here?
Rattling htc hd
Yes mine does this - I think its the camera.
Take an extreme close up and you will hear the same rattle/click noise as if something drops back in to place following the close up focus...
Rattling noise here too.

HA, i knew that game seemed too lifelike
It's the 3.5 mm socket for your headphones jack, was bugging me for a while and got to the bottom of it. Insert your earphones/headphones jack, noise goes away..
I think you will find that it will be the lens in the camera. As I am sure you know this is an auto focus camera and of course that will need a moving lense body. G-Sensors and accelerometers are the same thing and indeed solid state, or pretty much anyway. It is not the headphone jack and I must say...if the noise bothers you... just don't tap the camera! Simple!
Please FOR THE SAKE OF GOD does your device also make rattling noise when you tape on the camera cover ?? Please we need to know because this issue is getting annoying !!! Its been a month with HD and now I hear a rattling noise whenever i tap on the upper part of the backcover near the camera. I tried with another HD and IT DOES THE SAME THING
I emailed HTC a week ago about the problem and they responded by saying "The rattling sound shouldn't be any problem" which makes it sound like they know the Touch HD makes the rattling noise
Please could you share your experience here ?! I need to know if I have the right to return it back and ask for replacement. My BlueAngel was as solid as rock
The rattling can be annoying, but I find it's only really noticeable when the phone vibrates.

So you can also hear the rattling when u slap the backcover near the camera ? Is it a fault with the design ? Maybe the camera lens ? I can hear a similar sound when i take shots with the cam ( autofocus maybe ).

I do also hear it when I take shots when the camera starts auto focusing and when lightly tapping the back cover near the camera.
My older Diamond had the same problem.
Just the crap cameras HTC uses.

How pathetic, paying more than 1049$ for this machine and what a crappy built quality... screen bends when taping on it... backcover and usb cracking noise ( also near the volume buttons ) and now that freaking rattling noise.Absolutely crap.....
It must the mechanicals used for moving the lens during focusing.
Today I went to HTC dealer store nearby... I asked for a new device out of the box. Surprisingly, the new device also makes that rattling noise. I tend to believe it was meant to be done that way. Who knows... maybe its an option
If you noticed the photos of the N1 and Desire speakers...they are located at exactly the same place, they have the same sizes and forms and they are both attached by the same joint. Still people who tried both devices said the Desire is much louder so I wonder if we could just replace the N1 speaker with the Desire's one???
(Yeah of course adios warranty)
Have you tried the audio-boost software hack? I'd imagine that is infact the only difference.
This could be a Noise Cancelling mic,
Now i know for sure that there is many different prototypes floating about, the HD I used in London did not have this noise cancelling mic hole(if that is what it is). But the early prototype video from Solopalmari had the same pin hole right by the flash.
I think there is definitely three prototypes of this phone, and i would not like to hazard a guess at what one we will end up having;/
Look for videos of the HD in the london events, you will not see a pin hole by the flash, yet we see one in this pre-release video...
Check the pictures below, one is a screen capture from the GSMonline.pl video, and the other was from the event in London three weeks ago, where did the hole go? I asked a HTC rep at the event, where did the noise cancelling mic go, he said that was on only an early prototype(solopalmari video prototype). Now it has made another appearance....
HTC WHAT PHONE ARE WE GETTING??? lol
The plot thickens

Yes I noticed the little hole and I also think it's a mic. I hope it is a mic for sure! I've noticed some prototypes have the SRS/Dolby branding and some don't too.

Just would love to know what phone im actually getting, it seems that HTC themselves dont even know;(
The two pictures on the OP confirm this, I hope it does come with noise cancellation

The screen and now this, I quite like a bit of mystery.

also the first video showing the DHD which was uploaded by Solopalmari all those months back has a hole there too.

Yep,
That was the video I stated on the OP about Solo's video... This was deemed to be a prototype when i asked a HTC rep at the London showcase... Now it seems there is an actual advanced prototype of this version. The old one was a metalic blue casing, now this one has a brown casing.
Man this is freaking me out, haha
I hope it does end up with a noise cancelling mic, It would enhance the desirability of this phone;P
JD
The Mic is missing from the retail version, which means that the model that GSMonline.pl is not the retail Desire HD!!!
JD
It was a prototype which was sent back after the review.

Strange to show a prototype in a online review for the actual retail product?
JD
A second mic for noise cancellation would have been cool, even without it the phone is still mouth watering.
Go ask one of the guys who has their phone already. They should be able to tell you if it's there or not
The mic hole isn't there on mines so must just be there on the prototypes
I replaced the loud speaker on my evo with an oem i ordered online. It was a very easy fix and everything is good now. As I was putting in the new speaker I started to think of how good my TP2 sounded when I used the loud speaker. It just had a nice crisp sound that I havent been able to get out of my Evo. I searched and found a TP2 replacement and from what I can see, it looks just like it! I am about to order one to try it just wanted to get some feedback on this before i waste money. Why is the sound on tp2 better? Thanks.

Wouldn't the case itself make a difference in this? The TP2 had a pretty open back panel to allow sound to pass through. Or at least I remember that being the case. All the holes could have been fake. I gave mine to a family member when I got my Evo so can't check.
Might be a better speaker, but I doubt it will ever sound as good.

You are probably right. I gave mine away also and havent looked at one in a while. Thanks.

It looks like that site has a minimum quantity required for ordering items. Is there a way around that or are you going to order the minimum and resell them?

The sound doesn't look like it travels directly out of the speaker from what I saw when I took my 0003 apart, that plastic gasket makes me thing an attempt to "BOSE" it up...

I'm not sure if the TP2 has 2 speakers or just 2 speaker ports, but sound is definitely emitted from both holes to the left & right of the camera. (see attached photos) I can confirm it sounds much, much better than my Evo, it is louder and reproduces a wider range of frequencies.
It looks like sound quality on the Evo may have been sacrificed for the dual flash. (TP2 always took horrible photos for me.) If the TP2 and Evo share the same single speaker, the improvements are likely attributable to the case. Perhaps some modifications to the speaker / camera housing and the battery cover could yield an improvement.
If the current speaker porting on the Evo restricts airflow excessively it would lower the volume and could cause additional stress on the speaker itself causing them to fail prematurely and / or sound like crap. I am no expert in this specific speaker technology but at a basic level there is a physical mechanism moving which in turn moves the air (aka sound). If the air flow is constricted it will provide increased resistance against the speaker.
From what I remember the TP2 had two speakers. Not for stereo but for different ranges...one was lows and the other was highs. You could cover up each speaker while music was playing and hear the difference as you moved your finger from speaker to speaker.

This is exactly what I gathered after reading some of peoples input including yours. Even if the speakers are the same, I don't think it will make a difference. The back cover and housing are the key I think. Im going to play around with it this weekend see what I can come up with.

so i had sum water damage done to my phone recently and both my rear loud speaker and earpiece speaker stopped working. I dont really care about the rear one since my phone still vibrate but i wanted to know if you guys know where i can buy a replacement earpiece one. i found one on ebay but the pic dosnt look like the oem one here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/Speaker-HTC-Mag...853373?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c5c4910fd. Also i did sum research and sum people said that the Evo 4G and CDMA hero have the same earpiece speaker is that true?
