Speaker problem

Anyone feels that speaker is too weak and cant hear people's talking in the phone calling? I have to use handfree when doing calls. Just so annoying!

Please download AnEQ equaliser from market. It enable you to boost +15DB of output to your speaker. Used that. Clear sound but touch bass boost will distort the speaker.

Mine is loud enough. Haven't changed anything.

Thanks for introducing the app to me. I really donno if that's hardware problem or not. Or maybe just the phone is too big and I don't get used to it. I used 3.5" monitor mobile before. And now the phone is bigger, when do phone calls, my holding must have to be different. The speakerpohone always cant reach my ear hole. LOL!

Works beautifully. There is another app called "Volume+" which provides more options for Headsets and Bluetooth too. It too works good but "AnEQ equaliser" is bit louder.

What you guys think on the US versions sound?

Is it me, or is the sound like REALLY bad. I know it doesn't have the wolfson chip, but i was still expecting better. Any music being played sounds really bad. Even videos when you turn it all the way up, its not even decent. Same thing when the headphones are plugged in.

Mine sound nice...

Mine sounds great, and the amp puts out some decent power so driving decent headphones is easy.

Hmmm wonder if somethings wrong with mine. It's not cracking or anything. Just seems low turned all the way up, and when i mess with the settings Rock, jazz, bass, etc etc, it just doesn't seem right to impress me.
I'm coming from the tbolt...wich had decent sound IMO, so my standards arn't unrealastic

Mine was loud even using bluetooth headphones.

To me it sounds good, sometimes too loud lol, for a small speaker it gets the job done

Good. Not awesome but good.

Mine passed my sound test, I play Pink Floyd's High Hopes off The Division Bell, at the beginning the is some low ambient sounds, I play the song through Google music with a semi decent pair of headphones, and with the volume in the "normal" range I can hear the crickets etc.

Its 3× better than my HTC one x half as good as my iPhone 4s. I can deal with that

I use mine in the car (mostly) and it sounds REALLY good. Better than my S2.

Mine is great. MUCH better than my HTC One X and iPhone 4. I'm more than pleased with this phone.

Ehh its ok, for your average joe it will be fine. But if you consider yourself and audiophile then it is still not as good as the iPhone 4. Head over to head-fi.org they have some graphs and eq charts of the S3. The consensus is that iPhone 4 > International S3 > US S3.

Whoever said that is full of it, I've used all 3 generations of SGS, AND the last 3 generations of iPhones, the SGS always sounded better to me and most others, and this is using half decent headphones, not the included crap ones, listening to FLAC or 320kbps MP3s

New Nexus 7 Sound Chip

On my original Nexus 7, the sound chip is very bad, at max volume the sound isn't even medium loud on my headphones.
I use PowerAMP with bass boost and treble boost on (I listen to electro mainly.) How does the new Nexus 7 compare?
Also, can someone compare the new Nexus 7 to S III in sound quality on headphones? Mainly how long each can go? The old nexus is terrible compared to SIII.

The new sound chip is really really good. Like really good. I use similar headphones comfortabley at about 25-35% volume, Clarity is great, good DAC.

i agree as well. i like the new sound chip as i listen to trance. and to add the new speakers and layout work better as well

As stated in the thread you linked, this does not affect headphone output, only the speakers on the tablet's output so it's not entirely relevant to the OP's question.

I'm finding its close to my HTC One coming through the headphones. Won't go quite as loud and clear but it definitely has impressed me. By far better than the first gen nexus 7!

Is the sound good because it's good? Or is the sound good because of how crappy the OG nexus was? The sound is the only thing I hate. Headphones and speakers. Makes me wonder if mine is defective. Or maybe I shouldn't expect more from a budget tablet. Would love to see more opinions.

I find the sound quality through the headphone jack is just average. Kind of muddy to be honest. I thought the original nexus 7 had a better DAC than this new one. Speaker sound is of course better than the original

I take back what I said, I had the equalizer on and it made the sound poor. The old 7 doesn't sound as good as the new one.

There is a static buzz at low volume on the speakers which appear on most if not all of the new nexus 7.

Don't have it on mine, but I do have a little dust on the upper left corner.
About the topic, I use my own custom made earphones, with superb bass, with AwesomeBeats mod. Works like a charm, though ViperFX also improves sound quality, I'm comfy with AwesomeBeats because its simple. Try any audio mod(requires rooting).

The sound on the 2013 nexus 7 is really good, I mean without headphones on it, it's totally another world from the first gen nexus 7.

What devices do you have? I will do some comparisons if I have any of the same devices that you have. I have a Note 2, Evo LTE, Evo 3D, Asus Infinity, 4th gen iPod Touch, and an iPhone 4.
Just so everyone knows, the iPhone 4 was free, I'd never buy an iPhone! I just use it as an iPod (never been activated by me). I did buy the iPod Touch when it was released though......SMH......

One of the most underrated features on this device

The speakers!
I can't believe the audio quality that comes from them. I think it's fantastic! Anyone else agree?

I really enjoy them, too... Pretty great!

Absolutely! Came from an HTC ONE and this loud speaker is better. Not as much bass but better to me.

Can't hold a candle to the HTC one but it is king when it comes to phones with only one speakers. Moto has always used great speakers in their devices. Now we just need to work on the camera but looking at the camera hardware it should just be a software issue.

Speaker sucks compared to my One. It's loud, but it's definitely not as nice as having two sweet ones pointing straight out from the front of the phone.

Agreed. The speaker is still great on the moto though. And I would take a small speaker with pretty loud and decent quality sound over the extra real estate the speakers on the htc one takes up.

Exactly, don't put two boom speakers on the top and the bottom and make the phone smaller.

Does it has or not dual front facing speakers?

Some sources says it does, other says it doesnt...
Does it has or not?
Louder or quieter than the Moto X Pure's?

It looks like there are two speakers on the bottom.

Posting on my turbo 2 and it has 1 loud front facing speaker on the bottom front.
There are 2 slots that look like a right left speaker setup but the left one is not a speaker and would guess its a mic

Correct. 1 speaker, not stereo.

Off the top of my head...
1. Because it adds cost
2. Because almost no one listens to/watches media with the phone in portrait mode anyway, and that is the only time that 2nd speaker would be useful
3. Because you get almost no real stereo separation with a 2nd speaker 1 inch away

I thought I had a broken phone until I read this thread. I was playing around with stereo and it came out of one speaker and not the other. Was just out of my 2 weeks too. THANK YOU!

Ummm.... Because the speakers would both be on the bottom front, so the only way you would have stereo sound is if the phone was in portrait orientation. If the phone was in landscape, then both speakers would either be on the right or left therefore not stereo.

Stereo is stereo two speakers is stereo one is mono. Of course if they were at either end it would be better. You can't tell me two speakers wouldn't be better. And it wouldn't cost that much for a small speaker. As it is my only complaint is the volume is lacking on this phone at times.

Look up the definitions of stereo and stereophonic and you'll see your not actually right. Stereophonic sound requires being able to separate the source of the sound - which 2 speakers both on one side does not do. 2 speakers on one side is effectively just dual mono.
No argument that 2 speakers would likely be louder than one, though. Seems loud enough to me as is, but everyone has different needs.
Regardless though, it is a moot point. It has one speaker and will always have one speaker at this point.
