Its possible to add another 2 speaker to the tablet?
Space isnt a problem, i mean, its possible? did anyone tryed?
As all speakers works with + and -
its just easy to cut wires and split for another 2 speakers more
obviusly will consume more battery and of course will need more space
but its possible without ruining my tablet¿

I would read about impedance and what happens when you connect speakers in paraellel as you are likely to over work the hardware trying this.

these speaker i have are 4ohm independance but theres no info about gtablet speakers :S
do you think if i connect in paralellel i will blow out they? (four speaker)
mike240se is correct.
Not only that, but those 4 ohm speakers are going to be the worst you could add.
I never looked at the imp. of the speakers in the G-Tab, but these small speakers are usually higher impedance.
If you attach 2 additional 4 ohm speakers, you will mostly hear only them, that is if it does not damage the output circuitry.
Get a nice set of Bluetooth, or wired amplified speakers, it will sound much better, it is much easier, and there is much less chance of damaging your G-Tab.
I'm guessing you want to do this to hear better...? Just download one of the million volume boosters? I use Volume+ the paid one, its great.

If you play something that's already really loud with everything maxed out, maybe. If you use common sense, then no lol. Doubling it makes half volume into full volume and beyond that is above 100%. I usually use it around 130%, but there are times with something like netflix were its so quiet I max it out to 200%. Its harmless. Any issues will be very audable. If its too loud, youll hear it crackling(badly, a small amount of distortion is normal) and such. Realistically I don't think you'll have an issue, just go by ear, if its loud enough to hurt the speakers, itll sound like crap and youll know right away.

try appmonster. But, i dunno if it will work. What I do know is if you use applanet, the downloaded apks are in the applanet folder. If you use google play store, then set your rom to backup your account and automatically restore, then after you flash a new rom, you can just restore your apps from online?? I think this is how it works, but I have never let google into my life that much!!
***a quick google search reveals that appmonster needs no root! so try it.

Is there a way to boost the speaker output? Like when I watch movies or youtube videos. Its so quiet I can barely hear it. Doesn't have to sound better just louder. I remember on my wing there was a reg edit to do that. Maybe something similar.

Dang I was hoping there would be a way. Hopefully there will be an app made to do that .
There was an app called volume control, but it has disappeared from the Market. I bet it will resurface when paid apps will be allowed.
For now, what I do to boost the sound is wrap my palm around the back of the device leaving some space between the speaker and my palm. This sort of reflects the sound back at you and it seems to be a little louder.
Not sure if it helps.

Hehe yeah I do that too or my put it close to my desk to reflect the sound back. I did see that volume control app but I don't think it boosted the sound but I never tried it out.
the sound volume control app did not raise the volume. It just put all of the sound controls in one apps. Multimedia,ringer,ear piece.
This might have been covered more than once here, but I was just curious why the fix for libaudiopolicy.so hasn't been implemented in most of the roms. If your not sure what I'm talking about, this fix keeps libaudiopolicy from enforcing a maximum volume of 75% when placed into a dock. I take no credit in this fix as the original post is here. I swap this out on every rom that I flash, but I know I'm surely not the only one who finds this to be an issue. If this is in the wrong place please move. Hope this helps someone.
Edit: OOPS!!! I forgot to add the patched file, my bad.
Just extract the rar and push to /system/lib
I've been looking for a fix that would work on a current Evo. I've always wondered why ROM makers don't put this in their ROMs as well. It's really annoying for dock users.

If you need any help just let me know. I like to use Android Commander to rename the old file and the add the new one. After that I just reboot and you're ready to go.
I just dropped it in my Android SDK tools folder, set the /system/lib folder to R/W in Root Explorer and pushed it via ADB. Pretty simple process, really.
That it is, and well worth it. It gets pretty annoying not being able to hear music when I have the windows down.
I have to set my stereo in my at least 10 ticks higher than the radio to get the same volume while plugging my phone into the aux port.
I still for the life of me can't understand why they would set it up to do that, it's not like there isn't a way to control the volume when using the dock.

Seriously. And if there was ever a time when I'd want the volume automatically lowered, it would be when I have headphones plugged in. Even then, I like having the option to have it really loud. When it's in a car dock, none of this matters since I have my car's volume knob to change it on the fly.
Well if you pump the volume up going into the aux ports on some systems it will be distorted so its best to turn down on phone and use the volume control of radio to adjust this applies any time you use an aux jack with anything

That's true sometimes. However, that's not why they lowered the volume by a static 10dB upon plugging the phone into the car dock.
I doubt we will ever know why they actually did this, but it really doesn't matter because we have a fix lol.

Has anyone tested it? I applied it and now when I have the phone in the dock and something in the headphone jack it allows me to change the volume slider but the actual volume of the media stays static.
Any help with this? I use Splashtop to stream videos onto my A700 when i'm not at my PC, and the volume is so low i can barely hear any talking even with my head 1 foot away. It used to be much louder on the stock Jellybean.
Is there any fix or should i just figure out how to get back to stock? (if i can, still pretty new at this)

The problem with AOSP roms is that you loose the proprietary Dolby Sound feature from Acer.
As an alternative, you can try to boost the volume with V4A.

Quick question, in your opinion though, which has the louder/better sound output?
A) Stock rom w/ dolby
B) AOSP w/ V4A
Hi, so I bought the Honor 8 FRD-L04 (US version) and from the beggining I have a problem that drive me nuts! The volume on this phone suck. By Bluetooth or by the headphone jack, nothing is different. I've tried the same songs and headsets with my old OnePlus One or my Alienware laptop and the volume is a lot more louder. On this phone the volume is up to the maximum and the music just begin to be loud.
I try everything I could imagine, except resetting it. What I do wrong with this?
I even tried to talk the customers services but they this isn't a problem of the phone! They said that I need the original headset or it will not work! So I said to them that the phone you buy from Newegg doesn't come with the original headset in the box...
Anyway hope someone will have the solution! Thanks
I think what people interpret as loud is subjective. I came from the Galaxy Note 7 and I feel the sound is comparable. The Note 7 had a more tinny sound due to the water resistance but it was clearer. The Honor 8, I feel is as loud but distorts at increased volume on calls (pressing volume up once more at the max volume) and sometimes in YouTube videos with the highs (mids and lows are OK). Using headphones, I have never been one to use volume past 3/4. It just starts hurting my ears.
You may want to try to go into Best Buy or someplace that has the phone on display and test it out compared to yours. Maybe you have a defective unit. Good luck!
If you are rooted, try Viper4Android. If not, there are plenty of music players with powerful amps in the Play Store. I recommend JetAudio and PlayerPro.

Note that I never talked about the speaker on the device itself. Always by auxiliary cord or Bluetooth. You didn't understand what I'm trying to say: on my OnePlus one at 3/4 of the volume it hurt my ear, on this phone, when the volume maxed out, the loudness is comparable to OnePlus one at 40%.
Hope it make my problem more clear now.

Have you tried with another unit just to check if you got a defective unit?
Also a backup, factory reset and restore?
Are you on the B150 firmware? The update notes said they improved something with audio playback.
In relatively quiet environments I have to turn down media volume to around half or it seems needlessly loud to me. I have a hard time hearing in noisier environments. Calls have been fine (I typically only make ~1min long calls that are straightforward with the person I'm speaking with already knowing why). Youtube playback can get drowned out by passing cars/trucks or my work's incessant, ****ty music.

Yes I saw these changes when I first updated it. Calls are ok I guess, but the multimedia volume is lacking of power for me. There is one thing I now is weird is when I put my headphone port on mono audio (in accessibility option), the power become more louder! That's why I'm thinking it's a firmware bugs but aren't sure of this enough.
Anyway thanks again

I totally understand what you mean. I've noticed it on my headphones in particular. I guess it's just a part of the phone and that rooting is the only solution.
Unless it is caused after a software upgrade, its a hardware problem. Try to replace it.

Every manufacturer will try to convince you. You should ask them again and again.
If you are not good in English, take a friend with you and speak.
Compare with any other Honor 8 phone with yours.
Did you go to the service centre by yourself? Or spoke through a call.. If you have gone with the second option, I would say that first option is far better to make him understand.

Well I'm pretty good to understand in English. To speak it's more har for me but up to today I've been able to be understood. I called them multiple times even to a higher rank employee. Here in Canada we do not have any real support because Honor isn't present here... They are only in the US, so I did not get the free 3 months screen waranty. Plus, going to a service center by myself? The only one is in Ontario. It's about 5 hours of traveling in a car, so I think that by calls is my best option. Anyway thanks for the help.
This week I will backup my data and reset it after.
Hello,
I'm wondering how I might override the volume on my device in order to make the loudspeaker... louder. My device is rooted and has SmartPack Kernel app on it.
Any help is appreciated.

Well it did help and it has also made me realize how loud I listen to music with headphones on. My iphone which I use as a music player gets very loud whether it's the loudspeaker or using headphones. With the app you suggested I can tell the Note 3 is getting very old it doesn't handle its volume being overridden well, it sounded distorted and unclear (I had it at 5% boosted).
Oh well, I can live with how it is as-is.
Gave it another shot today.
I rooted the device and then flashed LOLZ kernel and with SmartPark have been able to up the decibels for the headphone jack and for whatever reason SmartPack's method doesn't distort the audio like the Booster app did.

Perhaps. I fear that my phone is going to be toast soon, the loudspeaker is starting to get that airy failing noise of a speaker sound haha.
I upped the decibel for the loudspeaker by 2% and the headphone jack I think to 3-4%.
BUT even before I did that to the loudspeaker it was giving me that failing sound.
