Speakerphone (loudness, clarity) - Vivo V20 Pro Real Life Review

Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the Vivo V20 Pro's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Wow, this phone literally has NOTHING in xda. After 3 years, no comments, no reviews, no root guides, so ofc - no custom rom, no nothing. I guess the fact that Vivo is the hardest brand to root remains true.
But well, I'm already here and I have something to say, albeit if not a single soul would see this. There's a certain tranquility in a quiet xda thread...
Ok enough blabbering. The speaker is...
sh*t
There's no bass, which is not surprising with speakerphones, but the most earrap*ing part is the insane peak at 2khz.
I could fart into a seashell and listen to the echoes and it'll sound better.
To prove this, here's the eq preset I use on the speaker with Poweramp Equalizer to make it sound a tad liveable:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A 9db dip on the 2k, and a 13.5db(!!) up on 250hz. The -15db on 31 is to reduce distortion since it's impossible to produce sub-bass on that small speaker.
Idc if no one reads this. It's my free time (yes, I need to reasess my hobbies)

Nice work man keep it up
What's the point of upping the kbit/s when our mic and camera aren't really that good ? A waste of space ain't it?
Perhaps a screengrab comparison can persuade others more easily.
i.e. Old camera mod takes a static video of Object A at Angle A. New camera mod taking static video of Object A at Angle A.
Screengrab using MPC/VLC and side-by-side comparison.
Else, the increased bit rate would be is a waste of space.
[opinion]AAC audio is also quite advanced to the point 128kbps ~= 256kbps MP3, any higher you'll prolly need better earphones. (take into account this is studio recording or FLAC converted to AAC and MP3). Any higher, same logic applies above, it would be a waste of space.
Also take into account Xperia Play's mic, which isn't really comparable to studio equipment or hell a decent consumer grade mic.

Havit SK466BT (bluetooth speaker) for 34.99 on amazon

Bluetooth speaker which is worth buying. HV-SK466BT is a small and fashionable designed Bluetooth speaker. Initially when you unwrap the box you cannot imagine how valuable this may perhaps be considering the price and it’s size.
The speaker comes with a 3.0 Bluetooth technology, this Bluetooth can be used for calling use as well, other than this for super quick and easy this phone supports NFC technology too.
The weight of this speaker is neither heavy nor very light and it’s small size allows you to carry this Bluetooth speaker anyplace you go, coming with a rubbery finish substance which gives you a good feel when you touch it plus protects it if dropped. It fell by mistake from me and was okay with no single scratch. This speaker has a good bass and extremely loud and clear sound quality which in this price range is not easy to get.
One of the best feature is the calling element, having an internal microphone it allows you to answer your phone calls too, so everyone can hear and talk. Last but not the least the battery life of this is phone is 7 to 8 hours which is more than at least what I expected.

Speaker Mod

As someone who has little experience in hardware hacking, I'm curious to know how we can improve or even replace the existing speaker? The stock speaker is painful to listen to and more than 50% volume due to harsh upper-mids and distortion. There is also a significant lack of lower end frequencies leading to an empty and often harsh sound.
I've tried playing with an EQ but unfortunately, reducing the mids or increasing lows results in a reduction of volume. It seems as though the stock speaker is incapable of producing lower frequencies and improvement would require hardware modification. Does anyone have experience in this field? I know the people at HeadFi.org often add a putty like substance around drivers to modify the sound; I wonder if this is something we can try. Ideally, I'd love to find a way to completely replace the stock speaker with something commercially available but obviously that would be rather complex.

I'm going to do some research into speaker and speaker enclosure modification but, in the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
umi super phone has nearly same hardware maybe that speakers are better
Here's a link to the UMI Super forum, that discusses mods to the speaker settings using Engineering Mode.
They may work on the Elephone as well.

When you hand your phone to granny to take a photo of you, can she get the job done? Rate this thread to express how you deem the Sony Xperia 5 II's camera software. A higher rating indicates that the software is easy to use, fast, uncluttered, and inclusive of advanced features for when you need them.

Is it normal to have the Android Version and build number at the bottom of quick settings? My old phone (Zenfone 5z) don't have this...

Yes, after you enable developer options the build number vill be visible in quick settings
I don't hand my phone to granny or anyone else. I shoot only with Photo Pro and I don't think I could go back to any other phone app. My previous favorite was probably the Huawei P30 pro and the software can't hold a candle to the Xperia.
This photo is shot in an alley with a variety of colors of street lights. Photo pro lets me set a custom white balance.

I enjoy taking photos and hate spending time editing on the computer. The Sony Photo Pro is the best camera app I've ever used.

6T - all audio has defended

Something has changed and now all audio (Bluetooth and speakers) have gotten really quite, about half as loud at max volume, maybe a bit less.
Is there a setting somewhere that controls this, or anywhere i should check?
Running stock except that it is rooted with Magisk, have the latest update (it might have started happening since that update, but I'm not entirely sure)

Normally max volume would blow my ear drums, but I'm barely hearing anything at max now :/
Interestingly, the instructions given here seemed to help with my Bluetooth audio:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-can-i-increase-bluetooth-volume.3359321/post-83685915
But when they are disconnected and connected again, the volume level is different :/ and also, each ear is a different volume (1more true wireless connect as two audio devices)
@mattisdada Hi! As you've posted in the Oneplus 6 forum but your thread title states "6T" just the question if your device is a OP 6T? If latter is the case, do you want me to move your thread to the Oneplus 6T forum?
Oh, sorry, that'd be lovely if you could
