4.4.1 fixed the speaker volume and clarity a little.

Undoubtedly the speaker volume on the 4.4.2 is much higher. I would say it is perfect atm. The only problem I can see at the moment is the hissing sound on the silence parts of a recorded video/sound....
I'd recommend against buying this phone if you want good speakers bro. For obvious reasons lol

before the s4 came out, the sound was all anybody could talk about, now its like the subject has completely died out now that we can actually do something about it since we have our phones.
the sound is good I guess, louder than the s3 that's for sure, but it just doesn't come alive like my s3 does.. granted, I was using Boffla kernel, and Eargasm preset on the hardware equalizer.. but I still want to tune the s4 with what's available now.
has anybody tried tuning, or using alternative sound engines to get better sound from their s4?
DISCUSS ! !

I was blown away by the sound quality if I am honest...
Sent from my XT890 using xda app-developers app
I think the sound is equal to S3, a bit louder, but no omphh still. Coming from HTC and iPhone I really miss the sound. All my Samsung phone has been anti omphh so it's clearly the Samsung way.
Need a kernel to fix that, sadly...

The supplied ones of the htc one are pretty good. In germany you can get them for 20€ with a 3 button remote.

I've got an Avantree Hive Bluetooth headset... It sounds so good it's like having a home stereo on your head. And it works for phone calls, too.

anyone got a method for equalizing on the phone? would love to access the hardware equalizer and adjust it, or a software 5 band equalizer?

If I have my Nexus 5 on a desk in front of me, I am unable to feel/hear it. Did I get a defective unit? I am missing notifications...

When your holding it in your hand does it feel strong or week? Also are you using a case? Some cases may be causing it. Most that have reported vibrator issues have been plaining of it being very loud.
Get this app to increase vibration if you feel it's too weak: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dunnow.software.vibrationTuner

This app is great I feel like 70 is good. 63 is eh. Thanks! This won't hurt the vibrate motor or make it die out early?..

Nah. Other manufacturers implement this as an option in their stock roms.

Has anyone found a fix for the wired volume? It is terrible. I come from a HTC One and never really used my Nexus until recently. It just terrible. Power Amp can't help it. I use Beat Studios 2.0 and it just sounds really meh.

I don't see why that can't be an option.
But anyways. The flashable zip does help it.

Pretty much this. The HTC One has vastly superior sound and it's the one thing I miss about it. The Nexus has one downward-facing speaker as opposed to 2 front-facing speakers so it's always going to be rubbish in comparison
Do a search there are about 3-5 threads on this with downloads. Why beats seems to be the end all be all is beyond me.

Hey, so I Just upgraded my moto to 4.4.4 in the UK, and now there's a sort of smudge on my screen near the center left of the display, its very obvious when i use my phone in bed, and it annoys me non stop. The smudge looks like a white fingerprint but its on the display, like a dead pixel or something which it obviously isnt. I will take a photo on my tablet so you can see it, as unsurprisingly it doesnt show up in screenshots. I would greatly prefer software alternatives over hardware ones due to the fact im in quite a rural area. Thanks, Neo

Here's the picture. Sorry for horrible quality, but at least you can distinctly the smudge.

In my opinion, it looks like the display had some water
nothing can be seen well from the photo, it's like an halo under the screen.

Try to dry the humidity with an hair dryer, carefully, really. This was the suggestion I can second, in my opinion. The better photo?

I've been really busy today working, so I'll take one in the morning. Also, if its water under the screen should I put the dryer on minimum heat?

Correct, I suggest medium heat and try short, multiple time heating. Difficult to sort out without a much clearer photo as stated from smbody else.

Here's a "better" photo, as my moto has the best camera of my devices, and my tab 2 has a 3mp shooter so the quality ain't great.
EDIT: been blow drying to seemingly no gain, will try later. In the meantime, any other ideas?
