Anyone have tried to change the default speaker with a better one?
Is it possible? And if yes how difficult?
The default one sounds like a fart from turtle ass, so that's why I'm asking.
I'm sure it's possible, but finding one that doesn't sound like crap would be difficult.
I also would like to know. It's a bit quiet. I sometimes miss calls when it's in my pocket.
Vibration is useless too
Let me see if I can find that teardown link. Maybe we can get a good picture of what it looks like.
EDIT: Here's the link.. http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down
It looks like there is an easy access to that speker - after removing the rear cover:
http://tjworld.net/attachment/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down/IMG_0235-small.jpg
It stays on the cover, not on the phone side.
However the speaker sits in the rounded plastic shell so replacing with a bigger one would mean playing with cutting it. Am I right?

You are correct, but it's nothing too hard.
So anyone would suggest a good speaker replacement?
It has to be something what fits in the amount of place there.
Maybe there are better solutions of the same size?
I'm compete amateur at this.
ps. and then how to mount it.
I seem to recall the galaxy s speakers being pretty nice.
"cell/mobile phone speakers" searching phrase doesn't work well for this matter. So I don't know how to find any such accessories on web.
Dissembling galaxy s for that wouldn't be cost effective, would it?
Hmm so the speaker is just too small - it'll have to be an extreme hack (i.e one which involves modifying the casing).
Any chance i could move the mainboard to Touch Pro 2 and keep the rest

So anyone knows where to buy phone speakers (the interior ones)?
After some googling, I found you this:
http://www.cellulardr.com/samsung-g...and-headset-jack-connector-samsung-i9000.html
Thanks.
The site is great!
However the link points to an earpiece speaker not a loud speaker parts.
I've made a search for loud speaker there. Now which one would you suggest for the replacement?
ps.
This one looks big:

Why not just use headphones? A lotta work involved here to just make the phones speaker a tad better. Not worth it IMO.

I think you have missed the point of this thread.
Exactly.
Think before you unintentionally start trolling.
Ive founf spare parts for nokia 5800 and what's written there is that there is ONE loud speaker not the two ones I thought nokia has.
However, if I'm wrong and there is ONE speaker that makes 5800 play so incredibly, it would be the nice direction to go to.
I have found where to buy nokia 5800 loud speaker.
http://www.mobilemonsters.lv/speaker-nokia-5800_p1028.html
There is some electronic info in the picture.
Anyone would help me understand it?
I can't find any electronic info about HTC loud speaker.
So please help me to compare the parameters of the two speakers. I mean especially voltage and resistance.
Will the Nokia 5800 speaker work on HTC Desire Z?
I used to build speakers and it will be difficult to get quality sound with such limited space. We can use a very expensive and tiny single driver. But even with high end drivers, a single one won't be able to cover a wide range of frequencies well, and there will be distortion at higher volume at certain frequencies. Or we can use a tiny cross-over and two tiny drivers (tweeter and woofer), or even three. I haven't looked at the disassembly, but I fear there isn't much room for more than single driver. Ultimately we will have to face some distortion, but this speaker is really awful so I'm open to it.
Unfortunately really small components like these are very expensive from audio parts stores. If you're not ripping apart another phone, the best bet would be these:
Bose IE2 ($100 at Best Buy) and you get two for that price.

Then the surprise comes not expect it to work the remote control that is integrated and works partially, you can call, answer and end calls, and put the pause and play the music
The only thing that does not work, which would be perfect, are the keys to raise and lower the volume, it hurts, but it will not work as thought nothing, because something good is, that almost complete functionality. even though I have to see if it works the handsfree, (micro) to hopefully work to see if you then test and confirm
Worth it because as you know these headphones are of very good quality, if you could make any application or modify the registry or something to activate the function of the volume and would be perfect.
if anyone knows anything, I would be very well the Swift.

Confirm! the speakerphone(microphone) works perfect

we know
there are lots of iphone compatible headphones around, that do work with the HD2 (and the HD) I have a few sets.
My favourite ones are some really cheap ones I bought for less than 15gbp, especially as they are cheap enough that I dont care if I damage them
(I've just found some mm50ip for 18gbp - 5% )!
But you lose the music control (<< and >>) by not using the included ones, so one option is to solder some earbuds onto the existing HD2 controls..
this really should be in the accessories forum.

I would be very carefull when buying good heaphones for such a cheap price, I originally cancelled my order with amazon twice after I found this great website http://fakeheadphones.com and made sure I was getting them from amazon directly!! As I didnt want to end up with a pair of duds
After showing that site to one of my mates, he worked out he'd been sold fakes from ebay a while ago... he wondered why they broke so quickly!
If it's too good to be true...walk away
Hello fellas!
just buy an adaptor with remote and plug your favorite inears toy!
check 4 it on ebay.
XD
Ipod earbuds are really bad. Not clear, bad lows, bad highs. Just look at headfi.org and watch for a good headset like nuforce ne-7m (only a a bit more expansive then Senheisser) or some RE0. Senheisser is really popular but just as bose, you pay for the name. But they aren't bad. Once you hear the difference between some apple earbuds and some high quality one's you never go back.

I guess perhaps all headphones with remotes for the 3Gs would work then???
funny thing is iPhone is so annoyed of Google...they are considering to makeBING their default search engine...
Microsoft and Apple cooperation would be pure comedy. lol
The apple headphones aren't the best, i agree. But the remote function is bloody excellent and there are some quality headphones from top companies that support apple but not htc. If this could be developed it would be great but it's not likely. At this rate, ill be heading back to the iphone, the phones just too convenient.
i have the headphones that work fine. they are good in quality and reasionable at price.
how much cost this headphones?
i wonder how is this relevant to HD2 themes and apps?
this should be in the accessories section!!!
Another review on some new headphones I just got in today. If you seen my past threads here, I have reviewed a pair of SOL Republic Tracks HD, where this is the upgrade of that.
Having said that, I have some experience in breaking these in. I have not properly done so, but I don't think it needs too much longer to do so. The Ultras sport only in one color, blue and white. Not a bad color combo, but wish there were some other ones to choose from. I did like my white ones.
As you see in the pics, they toned down the packaging and slimmed it down, which is good for the recycling gods . Next you see the cans or sound stages as they call it. They are memory foam type ear covers which are NIIIIIIICE and soft lol. What I did notice about these cans are that the "SOL" logo is now etched rather than painted on,which is cool I guess, but subject to more scratches IMO. It is titanium like the Tracks HD, but with just that little modification. Not bad per se, just different, which I like...
Next is the headband. Nice clear-ish, moderately transparent headband that is very Tron like IMO, not a bad thing either, I like Tron lol....
Now the other difference I see in the components comes in the form of the headphone cord. It's tangle resistant, but I feel a bit softer than the Tracks HD cord. This is not a bad thing, again, just different. Not sure why they changed that up.
With the cord plugged into the Sensation, my powerAmp fired up like it's supposed to (LOVE powerAmp btw) and started playing the Laser's album. Great album to test out the base and to break them in. The cord has the mic and buttons that are "i" certified but not "a" certified lol. Let me tell you that the mic works fine when pulling up google now by longpressing the button and asking if it will rain tomorrow.
I also use the jays headset app to control volume with the center button too. Now any long press brings up google now, I had to adjust my settings for two short taps for volume down and three short taps for volume up. Kinda annoying, but that's what I got to work with. If anyone knows of a better app to control the volume, please let me know. :good:
Ok, now the sound. How does it sound? Pretty awesome! Better than the Tracks HD? Yes! Is it worth the upgrade? Well if you have the Tracks HD and are more than happy then no. But if you can sell your Tracks HD for a good price and get these at an awesome price, then YES lol.
I mean the bass is a itty bitty on the bass-heavy side. Yet again, NOT a bad thing. They are not overly bass heavy so it's perfect for me.
Now I have been listening to this album for over two hours and working and I have to say is awesome. I adore these headsets. I wear glasses and these on ear headphones are a delight to wear.

Love my HD's, have four different cords and headbands for them. Considering getting the Ultras soon. Nice Review!

Now having them for a while, I can say the clarity is there, but the Bass is a bit less than the HD's. If you like the HD's bass, then stick with them. IMO it's not worth the upgrade if you are happy with your HD's and enjoy your bass.
For me, I enjoy clarity and like to hear the ranges, I just like it clear-er then normal, but that's personal preference. If clarity is what you want, sacrificing a bit of bass, then these are for you, but if you are absolutely happy with the HD's then I'd say stick with it.
Although there was another thread that touched on the S4's speaker volume, it was moved to Q&A as it was a question thread.
This thread is here as an informative thread so it belongs here, and will serve to show that the S4 is no push over when it comes to speaker loudness.
This review here (taken from GSMArena) shows us that the S4's speaker is certainly no slouch and is actually louder than the HTC One.

I think this could have been discussed in the review topic.
But anyways, this is to be expected. I remember in my physics class there was an equation that proved it doesn't matter about the number of speakers you have. 2 speakers doesn't double the loudness. It's the amount of power each one has. It would take 10 speakers of the same kind fo literally double the DCB.
Something like that. My profession is mechanics, not audio or electrical.
But if my memory serves me correct, the power into two speakers is the reason why the HTC One doesn't seem as loud. But what it does have is STEREO where the SGS4 is MONO.
Some nice info!
wow, that chart is really uesful.
I am going to buy LG Optimus G Pro version soon.
I hope it's better than Optimus G.

The loudness doesn't matter. Phones are already loud enough as it is. It's the quality of the sound, and from the looks of it the 7.9mm body will only support a small driver that distorts like crap at higher volumes and sound tinny and sucky in general. For generic polyphonic ringtones its fine, but anything more, especially when you put some mp3 clip of a pop song as your ringtone, and your ears will bleed from the distortion and general bad quality. Forget about using it as a boombox. From reviews I can gather that the BoomSound on the HTC One sounds a lot better than the S4, disregarding loudness output. They really didn't need to put stereo speakers on it, as even when close up to the phone in landscape the stereo separation probably is very minor in such a small thing.
Need a video of the s4 compared to note 2 or htc one for the speakers loudness.
Charts are one thing but I'd like a visual experiance!
no fanboy here but I cant believe the iPhone 5's speakers are below average. I think it sounds pretty good. Either the chart is inaccurate or the LG Optimus G is really that good.

Quite frankly, I'm taking GSMArena's findings with a heavy table spoon of salt. Every other reviewer claims that the One is significantly louder than what GSMA are claiming.

Did they measure the levels though? GSMA is saying HTC is better cause it has cleaner sound, that's the ultimate thing not dB count, it sounds (heh) like a fair assessment, Samsung phones are quite loud (speaker facing the air). HTC's improvement is in quality.
Well, for me the important measure is dB, not quality. I don't listen to music through tiny phone speakers (that is what headphones are for).
I just care that the speaker is loud enough for an ear piercing ringtone that can be heard over background noise.
Side note, a strong vibrate would be nice too. The one on the LG Optimus G is so weak I never feel it, even when it is in my pocket.

No he isnt, he is right. I owned the iphone 5 and i can say that it has one of the best audio quality ever. Not only are the speakers nice loud and clear, but the audio through headphones is just an absolute pleasure to hear. Seriously great quality.
The speaker
The speaker is very good on the S4. Balanced and there is a lot of clarity in the sound though it might seam that it was a tradeoff with volume for that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kR8NzAzdHY
Hi all,
I'm still looking for a decent headset for my Nexus 4. I've gone through browsing/reviewing many products this week, and I was dead certain I was going to get these SkullCandy Headsets but then found out the Mic is incompatible with Android phones.
I'm dead certain these 3 below are compatible with my Android device, please help me decide which one, thank you!

Apple EarBuds MB770G/B (£14.00)

Audio Technica ATH-C505iS (£14.50)
http://www.audiotechnicashop.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=91_87&product_id=330
Now, the Audio Technica one is a new discovery, I was browsing around today and I spotted this one on Amazon/Ebay but is cheapest on their main site which suits me fine.
I can get the Samsung's for £10, Apple EarBuds for £14 and Audio Technica for £14 also.
Please advise on which one you think is better and why. In my head, I think the Audio Technica would be best, why? I've heard people say the Apple EarBuds sound isn't all that, they break easily the cap on the earbud itself and where the wire goes into the actual earbud there is no protection, one bit of a pull and you could damage the earphone. Samsung seems the cheapest option out there, this is probably a freebie with most of the older Samsung's, I think this may be the S2 or S3 headset.
Audio Technica has a Sensitivity of 102dB, the Samsung has a Sensitivity of 105dB and the Apple EarBuds have a Sensitivity of 109dB.
Sorry, didn't expect to write so much, hopefully I can get some good feedback from you all
what about iphone 5's earbuds much better than the 4S ones but don't expect the controls to work though

I've heard that the Apple EarBuds don't really fit all ears and you can't use the standard foam/cotton caps on them to make it a bit more bigger for fit, also they are quite hard so can make your ears hurt if in for long. Read this from reviews.
Updated the whole thread, please advise, would love to order one of the 3 today after good feedback, cheers!

You could definitely look into the senhiser range. I personally have a pair, mic less as I don't like in line microphones, and they are amazing.
The dB count on these can go up to a wopping 120, that's what mine do anyways. Definitely check them out!
Oh and I forgot to say, I brought mine for £10 but a good pair with mic can be around £20

Hello, I'm actually looking for some kind of Airpods alternative, but all the "AirPods killers" are NOT AIRPODS. What do I mean?
Have you ever noticed how almost only Airpods are the ones that does not actually go deep inside your ear to create that vacuum seal, but they still called In-Ear type earphones? Because of this naming confusion I can't find real Airpods killers for Android.
Unfortunately I can't use almost any earphones in a marked, just like Galaxy Buds, because the "vacuum" in your ear starts getting lose and the sound goes bad, bass is lost and I have to keep fixing them like forever, especially when running.
Airpods hold fine, they sound the same no matter if I run or chill or whatever. Airpods surprised me cause they have bass without needing to seal the ear, but bass and sound overall is not as strong as I would like to.
I also tested Huawei freebuds 3, they sound better than Airpods, bass is stronger, but still.. just not quite cutting it, not enough volume.
I use Viper4Android FX, tested many different options to squeeze everythin of it, still lack of volume and bass.
Do you guys know any other earphones I should check that does not use those rubbers?
Smol illustration to get the idea lol

I believe those are just called in ear too. I know Razer has the hammerhead buds but I don't think those are any good tbh
Btw I tried the Airpods pro yesterday and ended up getting them. They do have the rubber tips but they feel so different! No pressure in my ears and the sound and noise cancelling is great! It really surprised me because the shape of my right ear usually prevents me from wearing in ears properly. The tips are oval, not round like most are

Thanx! But I watched a lot or reviews on them, usually youtubers say that they sound pretty similar as standard Airpods, but with a little richer sound, just because they seal the canals now. Can it be true?
Cause to me, the original Airpods sound OK, but nothing that fascinating idk.
I also really got tempted to try Sony WF-1000XM3, many folks say they deliver great sound and they have two types of tips, ones of them are some new rubber type, maybe those would hold great..
Anybody tested WF-1000XM3 how they hold in ears? Do they stay in same tight air seal position when you move? Thanx

I did, and I had the same issue as with the Soundcore Liberty 2 pro's.
They are just too heavy and big so while walking around you get this (what's the word) booming sound in your ears from your steps.
I also move around a lot and tilt my head to work under a car dashboard and such and never stay in that well, and because they are big they are easy to knock out of your ears with your shoulders.
Also tried foam eartips which worked better, but putting them in is a pain and it's not all that comfortable having foam expand in your ears.
I used to use the original airpods as daily driver but they sucked while using both buds cause I never could get the same fit and same sound in both ears so I used them mainly for podcasts and stuff in one ear.
The pro's have been great so far.
One thing to keep in mind with the pro's is that in order to update them you need a iphone (but the firmware they come with is fine) and you need a additional app for the battery status.
Reconnecting isn't really a thing either on android with these, so If you walk out of range and back again you probably have to tick the airpods in the bt settings (where my Soundcore buds do this on their own)
airpods are half in-ear where as the airpods pro are full in-ear.
