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.

In response to both of your posts, flash the teamdrh JB rom, it is really stable for an alpha, and for some reason, it is really LOUD!!!

I have already downloaded Jb teamdrh rom, but since i dont have full root access, titanium backup cannot backup anything
its there any other option to backup my applications?
i cant access to system even mounting usb trough cwm
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.

My gf has been complaining ever since I got this phone that she cant hear me when I'm talking and that I sound all muffled. Been searching around on here and google and found a few others with this issue...Is this with everyone's device?! Or is it only a few that are having this issue?! I dont want to go back to my s4 I was hoping to sell it this week!!
RMA looks like it will take a few weeks too, but if all of them are like this..
I am also having this problem. Friends complain of low/soft voice. Zero problems on speaker, video recordings, and inline mic. Maybe a software issue?

Can you try covering the microphone on the top of the phone (maybe with your finger) while your on the call and see it she hears you any better?
I think the noise cancelling mic may be causing issues for some of us. Let me know.

Right so I left myself loads of voicemails.
Putting some bluetack on the noice cancellation mic does make all the difference in the world!
N/C Covered up:
Test 1: Speak normally on the phone Result: Can hear fine
Test 2: Speak with the phone a little away from my face (not on loudspeaker): Still hear fine
N/C Uncovered:
Test 1: Speak normally on the phone Result: Can hear okay
Test 2: Speak with the phone a little away from my face (not on loudspeaker): Cant hear anything very very faint
Test 3: Speak with the phone on loudspeaker Result: Can hear fine.
I made a thread a few days ago with mic concerns too but only when I was taking on speakerphone... I'm assuming it has something to do with noise cancelation
I was driving on the freeway today and talking on the phone with the speaker phone setting on, and the other person kept saying it sounded like I was getting disconnected. However, when I was at a stop or driving slower (without much background noise) it was fine.
Has anyone else ran into this issue? Or any issue using the speaker phone for phone calls?
Talking on the phone through the earpiece worked fine.
I'm trying to figure out if this is a hardware issue so I can get an exchange.

Speaking on the phone headset is fine for me, unless i move a little away from the mic, so if im not holding the phone directly to my cheek it starts to get quiet and cut up! I tried factory reset, removing all mods, kernel still seems the same. Its really annoying bcuase any slight movement away from my face and I get complaints from the other end saying they cant hear me! Spoke to google and they said just send it back, but im willing to pay £350 and wait 3 weeks for a new handset if they dont have stock..Im short on cash right now!

I don't think you'll have any luck with a replacement. In other threads I noted that I had this same issue with the Galaxy S3 and a replacement didn't make any difference. I think it's just the tone/pitch of some voices that get seen as background noise. Anyway, on the S3 someone pointed me to a setting to turn off noise reduction and that fixed my problem. I don't think the N5 has such a setting.

I never had it with the S4 either. I had one of the first international S3s. I flashed alot of ROMs and at some point I stopped having to change the setting, so it must have been fixed in an updated ROM.

Well, I just increased my overdraft to cover the cost of the replacement while I sell my s4, I really cant go back to it...this phone is t fast to leave. Im on the phone to google now for a replacement just to test it..make me feel better that it may just be software
I've also been getting complaints from my wife about barely hearing me sometimes. I then called for an RMA and ironically, I was talking to Google Support using the N5 and the conversation went without a hitch. I still followed through with the RMA purchase but will continue to test my N5 and see if this problem persists. I can cancel the order within the next couple of days if I find that my N5 is fine, or if it is shipped before I can cancel, then I will just return the new one, or keep it for my wife, or sell it for a small profit. I hope that it's just my wife's hearing cuz I really love this phone.

I fixed it for myself by editing build.prop.
I changed persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true to false.
That disabled the noise cancellation for normal calls.
The fix for those without root would be to cover the secondary mic on the top of the phone I guess.

I've been using the phone for a couple of days and all calls have sounded perfect, but today I finally talked to my wife with her new N5 and my N5 and I have to tell you it sounds horrible. The mic on these on the other side sounds dull and low. I hope this gets fixed with a software update. How is the fix with the build props working for you guys. I'm tempted on trying it out. I could hardly hear my wife, (maybe that's a good thing).

Hi,
As the thread title says, my Z3's top (earpiece) speaker has a buzzing/crackling (similar to sound through a fm radio) sound when any sound is played through it. It also sounds a little quieter than the bottom one.
Anyone faced a similar issue? My phone is under warranty - will it be able to be fixed or is it a software issue?

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

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.
Anybody else find that the vibration is incredibly weak?
Even when I have it in my hand and the phone rings I can barely feel it. I can't find a way to adjust the vibration strength in the settings menu.
looks like it's just mine then. I can hear it vibrating but can't feel anything. Guess I will have to send it back.
mine is fairly week as well, but it is not too bad. also if it vibrates on the desk, it is stupidly loud. so if yours is not stupidly loud on the desk, then yours might have a problem (or mine )

So, how was it? The vibration motor is defect or the phone really have a week vibration?
