So I just got the Nexus 10. I played around with it for a while and I love it. This is my first tablet and I was a bit surprised by how much vibration it had when the sound was anywhere above 50%. I know these speakers are suppose to be pretty powerful (in terms of tablets). Has anyone else noticed this? I guess I just want to make sure my device isn't defective.
Light&thin + powerful sound = vibrations.
Yes, I noticed it too, but there's no way around it if you want to stay on the light&thin (and cheap) side.

I figured as much. I wasn't really complaining, I just wanted to make sure nothing was lose or defective.
Physics wins again!! Damn resonant frequencies
Can't wait til I get one of these next week hopefully -- Is the vibration disturbingly bad?

This is my first tablet so I can't rally compare it to another. Let just say that I "noticed" the vibrations and it kinda shocked me how much there was. Is it horrible or distracting? Not really. Esp if you keep your fingers closer to the edge of the tablet. Plus if your playing Need For Speed it kinda adds a touch of realism.
Does anybody have any first hand experience with both these phones to make a comparison?
I'm just trying to get a idea of how much better the loud speakers are compared to my note 2.

I think if you go to youtube, there are a fair number of videos.. I think I saw a comparison with the note 2. The One may not be too much louder, but the sound is much more clear and you don't have static.
Yeah. I had found one that used the ipad as a dbm reader. But I thought it was a pretty crappy test.
I was hoping for some better input.

I saw that too, that was a dumb test. There's another one where they use a professional mic

Hi, I sold my Note 2 for a HTC One. I always thought the speaker on the Note was very impressive.
BUT the HTC is WOW. Much louder and the sound quality is superb. Sounds to have a little bit of base too.
This is how all phones should be built.

Thanks for the reply! Any regrets coming from the note 2? What are your thoughts on battery life?

I had the Note II LTE and this device is so much better in every way.
Speakers, better, clearer, just wow.
Everything else, better, clearer, just wow.

No I needed a change from Samsung. I do miss the large screen and all the Smart features. I've managed to find some apps that sort that issue out though
So far I am happy with the battery life. It did a full day yesterday. I`m still unlocking the screen every 5 minutes though just to look at it
If the battery life becomes an issue I`ll install Juice Defender.
Yesterday I had 81% left by 1pm and I had it off charge at 7am.
Hope that helps.
I came from the Samsung Note II as well. With the Note II rooted and on custom rom. I say the performance of sound on the Note II was louder and probably slightly better than the HTC One. I was on Perseus kernel with Noozide on the Note II. I felt the bass pumping on the Note II, whereas the One did not. Also I feel the HTC one just isn't loud with the two speakers.
I haven't found any tweaks to get the volume louder on the HTC one yet... Hopefully someone can pull off a hack to get higher db.

did that kernel add to the speakers? When I had my note 2 the speakers were horribly tinny and quiet. Not as bad as the nexus 4's though.

I respectfully disagree. The Note 2 rear speaker is damn loud, and I think from a decibel standpoint its about the same, quality though, the HTC wins out. My wife has a Note 2, I have a One and an S4 and I can honestly as after all the rave reviews of the HTC's "loud speaker" I was disappointed. It sounds wonderful yes, but its not "turn it down halfway because its so loud" like some of the professional reviewers say.
Im sure mine was loud when i first got it. Seems to me the new firmware reduced the volume.

I had a Note 2 on Sprint and then On AT&T. I left my Note 2 to get the One and I'm thoroughly impressed. Honestly, even though my Note's were rooted with custom kernels, they just weren't as sharp in the sound department. They were loud, but had a very tinny sound at high volume. The front facing speakers on the One really do the commercials justice. They are far clearer, and sound better than ANY other phone I've had.

Coming from a Note 2 and working with co-workers with a Note 2 I find this very hard to believe. I also tried this kernel and almost didn't hear any difference...before the note speaker sounded very tinny and afterwards it sounded a little less tinny. According to Samsung the speaker was not broken and within production tolerance. The lousy (quality and volume) speaker was one of the reasons to switch to a One and I didn't regret it one minute..
had the note 2 previously. The note 2 does sound loud when its turned over on its face but mine was rarely on its face, still sounded pretty loud though.
The One sounds very loud and because the speakers are on the face its loud all the time, The quality is also far far far better than the note. It wont replace a portable speaker though, understandably there isn't much bass(more than the note though).
One of the things which hold me from buying this phone, is the speakerphone decibel levels.
In the past, I had some phones with very low speakerphone levels, which led for many missed notifications (it happened mostly with notifications and not phone calls, because notification sound is much shorter).
I've seen GSMARENA's comparison of spkearphone decibel levels (attached image), and was quite shocked to see just how quiet the LG G2 speakerphone is. It is 10 decibels lower than the Galaxy S4 (10 decibels translate to twice as loud, for human hearing).
So, in your day to day experience with the LG G2, do you find yourself in situations that you missed a notification because of the quiet speakerphone ? how much of a problem are we talking here ? can you compare the notification volume to your last phone and conclude this is a real problem ?
notification sound is pretty loud enough imo.
Havent missed any notifications in loud places.
Video sound is a little quiet, but not the notification sounds
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, it's a little quiet, but there's a post somewhere around here about how to increase your speaker volume above factory specs if you're rooted... Haven't done mine yet because I'm not rooted yet
Well, I'm quite particular about this, thus I sold off the Xperia Z after 11 days of usage.
As for the LG, I'm running it for 2 weeks and still going good.
I did the hack as mentioned above and it's pretty much decent. Videos are pretty darn loud for me (MX player, using HW+ decoder).
Something to note is that the speaker placement is at the bottom. I feel that's the best place for a speaker on a phone. It will face out when you insert your phone headfirst. Also when laying on the desk, the speakers are not blocked (as opposed to the S4). All these help in delivering sounds more efficiently.
I've had the phone for a good 2 weeks now and haven't missed many notification or calls at all. The ringtones and notification tones that come with the phone are plenty loud.
Also, I agree with MasK about the bottom-facing speaker. It doesn't seem to get muffled at all sitting on a desk or even on a pillow on my couch, unlike my old RAZR MAXX.

Hi, could you let me know how you did the hack?
Thanks.
You might say that I have been known to be a bit hard of hearing, but I have not really had any issues with the speaker or speaker phone with the G2. I have add these 2 apps:

There's a ViperMOD as well and seem to get very good reviews. However, I could not get it to run. I've yet to troubleshoot it.
I find that picture hard to believe...the HTC one been getting BIG thumbs up for its speaker.
Will ViperMod work on T-Mobile variants? Can someone confirm?

Ok guys,
I have the LG G2 D802.
There are 2 speaker grills, one on each side of the Micro USB port on the bottom of the phone. I noticed that only the Right Speaker on the phone is working. The Left one is not. My question is, DOES THE PHONE HAVE 2 SPEAKERS OR IS THE SPEAKER GRILL ON THE LEFT JUST FOR SHOW?

btw buddy, dont you think that practically the volume of the speaker is a bit on the lower side? Also, imo the earpiece performance for calls is not the best possible like HTC One. Dont you think?

I never had a previous OnePlus so I can't confirm how it compares to the previous OnePlus.
I do have a Note9 and it is significantly weaker than the Note9.
However, I don't find it bad, someone on Reddit described it as similar to plucking a guitar string which I find to be pretty accurate.
For me it reminds me of my old LG V20
It's pretty bad compared to a Samsung phone.
The last time I had a phone with a vibration motor this weak, I had to leave the audio on so I could hear when notifications came in. Smartwatches weren't a thing back then so today the motor is tolerable since anything important comes to my watch.

just changed to strong and wow its like a whole new phone now! I am pleased with vibration motor now!
hi chaps,. Had 7 pro for year, and haptic feedback on this was absolutely brilliant, moved to 8 pro, and so far left disappointed,. here's the quote from xda review-
It’s a niche subject, but I mention it since I’ve been spoiled from great haptics on iPhones. Many users prefer to disable their vibrations, but I find them pleasant to interact with on a quality motor. What irks me is that last year’s OnePlus 7 Pro had excellent haptics. They were strong, controlled, and they didn’t make much of an audible sound at all. And I would happily take the “weaker” motor if it meant a silent one.
This year, OnePlus says that the vibration motor in the OnePlus 8 Pro is 11% stronger, which I haven’t really noticed from typical usage, but now there’s also an audible

haptic feedback yes, vibration intensity for calls , texts etc, no, vibrator is stronger , but haptic feedback is somew flawed
Came from s10+ and I prefer the haptic feedback from OP8 pro. In my opinion it is so much better and tightly controlled.
That's disappointing. Would have fault it would be as good if not better than the 7 pro
There's differences in opinion in this thread. It's all over the board.
I think its really good, better than the S10 plus and iPhone X imho.

In precision, strength or both? Can you comment about any sort of audible noise coming from it that shouldn't be there?
It produces a sound, but actually I wasn't aware at first that it wasn't simple sound coming from the speakers. It felt very natural to me, to have this sound accompany small vibration when typing. Overall I would describe it as water droplet falling into water. But, it is very silent.

For both. I think its a little bit louder than the iPhone and the sound is a little bit higher, but it depends on the action and strength.

Hi bro at this time i have a iphone xs max and u know the haptic on this device is amazing and i'm thinking to get a new device from android and i searched that oneplus give u a fantastic android experience but what u say about op8 pro u give me littile confuse about this phone cuz i really like the haptic feedback
so do u prefer i get the op7 pro over 8pro especially for haptic feedback??? can u please help me with this?
Best regards
I wouldn't get the 7 Pro over the 8 Pro just because of the sound of the vibration. The vibration is stronger, but it's a bit "louder" / more audible. As one here said you could think that it's a sound that is coming out of the speakers. To be honest except of this the 8 Pro is a better device in every regard. Ok, I also prefer the more subtile edges of the 7 Pro for the side back gesture, because the feeling swiping over the edge is a bit "hard", but I will probably get used to it.

If you're looking into great haptics on an Android phone, you can also check Pixel 4.
Also, the software experience is the smoothest you can get (for an Android phone), and feels refined. (and that's coming from a long-term oneplus user)
Personally I prefer the haptics from pixel 4 over oneplus 7 pro (both tested)

I agree the haptics are a bit better on the pixel 4 XL compared to 7 pro
A bit late but I think, while the vibration is actually better on the OP 8 Pro, it is delayed. And this lag absolutely ****s me up while typing.
I'm seriously thinking about returning it and switch back to my s10+ which has worse haptics, but at least it's accurate.
I had this problem with every Oneplus phone I owned, and it's just sad. Now that they went full on flagship it would be better I thought, but nah.
have the pixel 4 xl and the 8 Pro, I think the pixel 4 xl "feels" better and is a little stronger, but only marginally. what bugs me is the noise the haptic on the 8 Pro makes. yes it does sound like it's coming from the speakers, but it's not which is even more frustrating.
