Hi folks,
Just got my new G2 today. I noticed that when playing music sound is only coming from the bottom right speaker grille. If I cover this there's no sound. Can someone check theirs and confirm if this is normal? Is the left speaker grille just a dummy then? Thanks!

Same here and I have the AT&T variant. The right side is the only side that sound comes out of. I'm thinking the left 'speaker' is the Microphone. Just like on my iPhone 4 there were two speakers, but one of them was a Microphone and the other was the actual speaker.

i have the Verizon variant, i would assume they are the same. the sound only comes from one side mainly.
Thanks for that richiev. I suspected that was the case as it certainly seems loud enough and it would be odd to place stereo speakers so close together. Cheers for confirming it for me!

They all only have one speaker. Verizon chose not to give it the stealth look.
One strange thing I have found is if I'm playing music with media volume set to full, if I put ringer volume to silent it lowers the music volume, ,,, or is it just me?

Don't notice the volume lower but do noticed a slight click from the first music played.

That's interesting. The same thing happens here. I guess it's a bug of some kind.

I do not like how the S4 (9505) is pausing my headphone music / podcasts and then playing the whistle / notification out of the SPEAKERPHONE speaker annoying people around me on public transit.
WHY on earth is it doing this and not playing it through my headphones only?
Furthermore, what I'd actually prefer is the music / podcast I'm listening to, simply drops in volume slightly and the notification comes in - at aneven lower volume, just to let me know - 2 channels at the same time.
Anyone know if this is possible or of any notification adjustments I can do?
I think that is so you can notice the notification/ring when you forget to unplug your earphones. Good design.
I agree with you about pausing music. It should just play them together with lower volume for music.

Really good design would be to give the end user a choice between the two methods

Or you can mute the device from notifications panel.

I am using Poweramp, there is an option in the settings to prevent this.

I see your point re: the earphones but I kind of don't personally care about that. Do you know if it's possible to have the 2 played together? (I'd actually like the notification to be the quieter one - just so I can hear it just during my music)

I detest that program, it corrupted the data on my SD card - I told them about it, they didn't care because it was a rare error.
Besides, it should be a system wide setting, anyone know if it's possible to have notifications just play alongside the current audio stream?
I can hear distortion while using headphones on my g2 from T-Mobile, anyone having the same problem?

No, I got a new set of headphones for it a few days ago and I use it in the car hooked up thru auxillary input and sounds perfect both ways.
Was hearing it while charging, can anyone test for me. Thanks

I was charging and playing music on my way to Vegas and back last week and had no issues. Maybe it is just your headphones and a bad impedance match up to the audio out.

Thanks, I'll try again with different headphones, was using my Samsung's.

I was also listening with the volume maxed out, which should be the place where distortion is heard most if there is any. Do you hear the distortion problem at max volume only or anywhere on the volume scale?

So I noticed this by accident today, after a few days of usage. The speakers at the bottom of the phone do not work equally(or symmetrically?).
I was holding the phone in a weird position and my fingers were closing the left speaker and sound was fine. I switched hands and right speaker got closed. I wasn't able to hear anything. I thought it was something to do with the video(youtube) then tried with other webpages and the preloaded mp3 from vienna choir. It was all the same. So I get the sound basically from right. The left one is virtually silent.
I can't go the store and test the phones on display. So do you have the same issue?
Only has one speaker other is mic , it's cosmetic

Lol... I actually did 2 exchanges before I figured out there's only a right speaker. The left one is the microphone. Like the guy above me said, it's just for looks.

The Speaker!
I've used many smartphones in my days, but the speaker on the Moto X is by far one of the best I've ever heard. It actually has noticeable bass! And the volume is ridiculously loud. I'll even go as far as to say it bests the HTC One's dual speakers
Yea, the speaker on this phone is a beast... Way way better than my sgs3, that phones speaker doesn't even belong in the same category as the moto x.
AT&T Moto X rocking 4.4
It's definitely a good speaker. Gets loud and stays clear.

did not know that since i always have headphones on will try it one of these days
Open up the EQ settings in Google Play Music and set the speaker EQ (not wired stereo) to Extreme Bass! It sounds best in that mode!
Fair warning guys I was playing music at full volume on my 2 day old x and the speaker blew, no sound at all. Yes its great and loud and I love it but be careful. Unfortunately I love it so much I play at full volume on my new x too

define "blown". a blown speaker can still produce sound but sound distorted. a malfunctioning speaker may not produce sound at all. somehow i doubt the speaker inside the phone can move enough air to actually BLOW.
It definitely does not best the HTC One speakers. Not in dynamic range at least.

Anyone else notice that if you set the phone on the counter, face up, it actually gets louder and clearer due to the curve in the back of the phone. The sound seems to ricochet off the surface the phone is sitting on...when I would set my nexus 4 on a counter it would basically mute the speaker.

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.

Yes. It only has one speaker on the bottom right. It does get fairly loud though. Decent sounding speaker

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

THANK YOU!
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.
