Hi to all of you, i am new in this forum.
I bought atrix with a lapdock, great toys
how can i set sound on lapdock speakers ? I can hear only if set sound to the phone speakers, when sound is set on lapdock speakers i can not hear anything.
There is something that i'm doing wrong, or speakers of my lapdock are damaged ?
Thanks in advance
The lapdock don't have built in speakers. But you can hook it to external speakers

thank you very much for the answer, i thought there were built in speakers.
Umm yes... the lapdock has two speakers.
They are on the back corners.
Stupid placement, but they are there.
You control the volume from within webtop.
The volume control is between the battery indicator and the clock.

I tried from webtop, but I hear only the phone speakers
there are three icons in the drop-down menu:
1. phone speakers - works
2. lapdock speakers (i think) - does not work
3. sound settings (maybe i have to set something here)

I stand corrected. I've had my lapdock for a few weeks now and never notice the speakers or even tried to use them. Always used the phones. I google the speck and went and look again and they are there. Learn something new every day. Atrix Lapdock Specifications:
Display: 11.6” Weight: 2.4lb Construction: Magnesium alloy External ports: 2 USB ports, power Battery: 36Wh 3 cell Battery life: 8 hours (advertised) Keyboard: QWERT (Speakers: Stereo) Apps: Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13 supporting HTML5 and Flash; Entertainment Center

I tried for many times, but lapdock speakers only worked in one condition: media center.
In my opinion the phone speaker is better anyway, which is a bit sad.

i was planning to get a lapdock and about to ask a very same question. so i'm glad i came up to this thread. this killer features what keeps me holding on the Atrix rather than getting myself a new phone with better sw update support.
How to switch between Phone and Lapdock speakers.
After you dock your phone and the screen shows up, click on the tiny speaker image on the upper right corner, you'll see the volume rocker.
Right below that you'll see a tiny upside down triangle, click on that.
Three buttons will appear in decending order:
* Phone speaker out (the rectangle with the waves),
* Lapdock speaker out (the tiny dot with the waves)
* Settings
You can select between Phone Speaker and Lapdock Speaker by toggling between the two buttons, settings just takes you to the phone audio options. I suggest that you play audio while you do this to determine where you are getting audio as you switch. Lapdock Speaker Out should be selected by default but if it already is and youare still getting audio out from the phone then you may have issues.

I second this, ironically the phone speakers ARE better.

Is it just me or is the placement of the speakers odd - If they wanted to provide an experience for watching movies, then with the current placement you will only get sound out of the right side. I really liked the placement of the speakers on the Archos 7 HT - too bad the rest of it was so bad.
I suppose the placement might be for the HDMI dock which orientates the Tab portrait, but if you were using that, then I guess you would be using an external sound source. It is not a big deal - just a oddity of the design.
It is indeed odd, as righthanded I cover the speaker with my hand while playing games in landscape.
Yes. Weird placement.

I hate it. It's supremely irritating in every respect... Shame that we can't do much to change it
What I find stranger is the microphone location. About an inch from the top left side. Its where my thumb/fingers are when I hold it with one hand, as I do when I get a call.

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.

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?

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.

What is the most annoying thing on your phone? For me (Arc S) it was the choice to put the headphone socket on the side. What on Earth were they thinking? Even with a T shaped headphone connection it means I cannot put the phone in a soft pouch in my pocket. Seems like they want to sell me a stereo bluetooth system with inferior audio instead.
The super small camera button.

Call speaker. Small hole should've been bigger. I can barely hear until I put my ear exactly on the hole.
Power button is annoying on the top for sure but imo the camera button is too small. Oh well at least we have a camera button unlike most newer phones

1.Small Power Button - They could made it Bigger
2.Head Phone Jack Location - Best Place to be on Top Middle
3.Small Camera Shutter - Better than none
4.Notification Light - I wished they used the LEDS on the Hardware Keys Instead putting the led on the side
5.No Front Facing Camera
My arc got cracks too, after a year and 6 months near back button, and not in the proximity sensor, some chrome peeling in hardware buttons.

3.5 mm Jack and its type (it should be on top, almost no other headsets work)
Led should be on front
Bigger conservation speaker, and remove that "detail"
Doesn't support all headphones, as well of the jack being on the left side. On top or bottom would be better, had to get L-shaped contact on my headphones. to fit in my pockets.
Charger not being upside down, really bugging me. its hard to hold during charging

I forgot about those other issues. Yeah, annoying. My back button is not very responsive either. Sometimes it takes multiple presses to get it to register.
Any ideas for a good mid/ear bud combo or a fix for the horrible sound on the other end while using Skype. I'm told its very bad.

I found the mic and speakers are all very bad, also the wifi reception, on my A500. Otherwise, it works, but if I try to use it for skype for example, it's much worse than the HTC Titan II I have, which is a much smaller thing. Even the "tiny" Arrive phone that I have does better on wifi and mic/speaker, only the Arrive doesn't have a front facing camera. I use my A500 to do web browsing, read PDF and watch youtube, while it's not good for youtube because of the weak speakers.
Searched a lot on the web. It seems nobody has found a solution for these awful mics. Hope someone has better news. :banghead:

I found a ear combo with a boom mic 3.5 millimeter from radio shack that works really good and clear.. But Skype will only work with a wired headset not a bluetooth it doesn't support microphone for Bluetooth... only speakers or headphones... lame...

If you pop the back, there are two mics right at the top of the screen (near the sd card). One is visible. The other is behind the motherboard. The one you can see is used for noise cancelation. It even has a hole in the chassis next to it to let sound in. The one you can't see is used for sound pickup and has no adjacent hole to allow sound. What I did was unplug the hidden mic. Tuck the wire and plug under the board. Move the plug for the noise cancelation mic to the receptacle for the main mic and reassemble. It sounds much better to me now. Haven't used Skype on it yet, but it should be better.

Important to note - I recommend removing the sd card any time you remove or install the back cover.
This guy shows a decent tutorial. I basically pulled the sd cover off and started at the plastic there. If you end up with blemishes, at least they'd be under the sd cover.
get a headset bluetooth is nice even those *retro phones* wud work i use 1 for f2f vid chat
I tried a Bluetooth headset..a blue parrot bt2500 I think is what its called..didn't work right..I will try again on the new build.. What Bluetooth headset do you use? Does it work with Skype?

Just curious. I have had this phone for about two weeks. I love it. One thing that's kinda odd is the speakers on the bottom. So when I'm holding it in landscape mode playing a game it disrupts the sound and it's muffled and quite. Anyone else feel the same way? Not a big deal. Just a minor inconvenience.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
Yes it's very easy to block the speaker while playing in landscape, design flaw I suppose but can be avoided by adjusting one's grip on the phone. Still happens every now and then when I'm not careful.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yea it is a known issue. Maybe you can remove the back cover and drill holes to the back aligned with the bottom holes.
Then maybe sound can escape from the back.

Yea I usually overcome this by putting my phone face down. Definitely a design oversight.
Most phones have had speakers on the bottom or on the back that result in muffling when holding it.
Owning a Nexus 7 2013, I really miss the stereo sound from it. It is really the only thing I wish my G2 did differently, although I don't know how they'd incorporate a "top" speaker without making it look ugly.

Initially, I considered two speakers on the bottom of G2 as "stereo", but later I found that this is actually a single speaker with "stereo" design
