As you all know, because of the phone being flat and lying on a flat surface, the speaker is completely covered and any sound from it struggles to come out.
I've noticed the earpiece can be very loud (on phone calls), so why not use it as an additional ringer for notifications and call ringtones?
Is there any way to do that?

Hi All. Loving my new xperia except for the speaker level, which is far too low for car navigation and not too good for handsfree calls. Can anyone advise on increasing the speake volume please. Thanks.
How to increase the volume of the speaker
I have the same question.
The speaker is not loud enough. I heard that there are two volume settings that can increased separately to add up. It's that true?
This has already been dealt with here:

In other words no.
The small hole where the speaker is is very easily covered up (try playing an mp3 and put your thumb over the hole then removing it) You will see a HUGE drop in volume.
This especially annoying when i'm missing calls because the phone is in my pocket.
My previous phone the K700 allowed sound to 'leak' out...I am wondering whether drilling some holes in the case might improve things
Out of nowhere my ear speaker volume level is EXTREMELY LOW!! I always have to put my phone calls on speaker which is inconvenient because I don't always want the surrounding people around me to listen in on my conversations. There has to be a fix for this. Can anybody help?
Hello,
I was wondering if it would be possible to make the phone play ringtones from the front speaker as well as the rear speaker. This could help hearing the phone ringing if the phone is on a flat surface face up.
I dont know how loud the front speaker is though, but I believe it could help even if it isn't very loud, since laying on its back the rear speaker is nearly silent. This does not only apply to the ringtones, of course, but could be valuable when playing videos as well.
Does anyone know of a solution to this?
Best regards,
rodstrom
Yeah, use the pyxis ringtone and crank up the volume. It blows out my ears every time it goes off, regardless of the surface it's on.
When i watch a movie on my S4, the only sound comes from behind... When i place my plone on the table, the sounds get blurry. Is there a possibility to get the sound trough the front speaker as well?
The speaker at the back is for media the one on the front for phone calls. You'll have to wedge something under the phone if the sounds is muffled by placing it flat on the table.

Brilliant idea for an app.
But front speakers are not that powerful ( loud ).

Will be not that powerfull, but if you make a phonecall and you turn on the speaker, the sound comes out of the speaker on the front i heared...
So not THAT loud, but because it is in front it doesnt need to be i presume.
nope

Speker on means sound comes from the rear speaker
HI there guys.
Brand new to this forum.
I've searched for days and I'm unable to find a solution.
I'm experiencing a crackling or a distortion on phone calls at certain volumes. I noticed it with certain pitches in peoples voices it would cause a vibration in the ear speaker and some distortion in the sound. Kind of like the speaker is being over driven or has too much power going to it. It usually goes away if I turn the volume almost all the way down, but this is obviously not a practical option since I'm not always making phone calls in a dead silent room. The speaker phone works fine. This only happens when I'm using the earpiece. Is this normal? Is it related to the camera autofocus sensor rattle? Are the sound vibrations from a person's voice enough to set off the rattle? It's really annoying as I tend to make phone calls a lot and I don't like using speaker phone or a headset. Does anyone else have this problem?
From what I can tell, it happened and was normal in the S4. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280930).
Please help. Im deciding if i need to return it.

It's too bad that you didn't describe it in more detail.. i.e. give us steps to replicate it. A recording of the distortion would have been helpful too. I haven't noticed what you describe but it sounds like the gain or auto gain is too high and your earpiece speaker is being overdriven.
There is a gain setting in the service mode menu but first you need to distinguish an app issue or possibly damaged speaker before messing around in the hidden settings. See if you can find an audio app that will give you a wider adjustment range for your system volume and gain.,

Thank you for the reply.
If you go into the service menu, the go into the low frequency test. At 100hz and 200 hz there is a little bit of buzz in the headset reciever unless you really push it against your face (which i assume kind of tightens the spaces in the plastic and prevents whatever vibration in the speaker is occuring).
Hmm.. the vibration is akin to as if you were speaking into some cellophane wrap; like some film (maybe for waterproofing) is covering the speaker.
Oh. It's also worth noting that I cannot replicate the issue on Skype or Viber. Those sound crystal clear.
Bump. Anyone?
