Loudspeaker is producing distorted sound and volume is too low... What should i do???
Doing some necromancy because I couldn't find the answer for this on the forum.
Under the metallic band on the bottom there is a bi-phase tape with holes for the speaker that, with time/dirt accumulation, causes distortion and low volume.
Remove it.
There are strip replacements on amazon...
I just made some holes over the speaker, used some spit to re glue it, then put a bit of masking tape over it (be careful that the paint on the borders).
All credit to this guy.

Kind of an odd question, but if its available I would love a case like this.
Is there a case that covers up the speaker, but leaves a small gap between the speaker and the case, so that the case ends up 'aiming' the speaker at the front of the phone?
Hopefully you undestand what i just described.
I have this thing for my iPad called the Sound Jaw which is just a little plastic doohickey that aims the speaker towards the front, does wonders for the sound. I can't use my iPad without it.
That said, I know exactly what you mean and why you want it, but I haven't seen anything like it.
With the way the camera protrudes this effect is done normally. I have a case on my phone, and when I put it on a table it sounds louder.
Or you can always just get a regular case and put the phone face down when using the speaker. Or cuff your hand around the back of the phone above the speaker to amplify the sound.

another solution is just to attach a piece of paper\plastic on the inside of the cover (between the phone and the cover), just above the speaker grill. and that's it
In the last 6 months i had very low volume during calls, I was sure it was a Rom-related issue but even when moving from a AOSP-based rom to a sense one it didn't help.
I've tried the method with cleaning the earpiece with tooth brush - didnt help. so I've took a needle and just entered a few milimeters into the holes of the earpiece, while making a circular movement inside of it.
And now the volume is so strong that i need to put the volume lower it to the middle!!!
Just wanted to let you know in case it's your case too.
FYI: IM NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU INSERTED THE NEEDLE IN A WRONG WAY AND DESTROYED YOUR SPEAKER, ACT WITH CAUTION!

Can you take a picture of the earphone holes you poked? I replaced my earspeaker while I replaced my cracked screen but the replacement speaker was worse so I swapped back to the OEM one.
I have an idea how the speakers look underneath but would love to know which holes you worked on to enhance the sound experience.
Nothing to photograph here, its not a mods just cleaned the holes of the housing.

I thought the audio speaker volume was a bit low and noticed sound is only coming out of the left speaker hole. It's really obvious if I cover up the holes in turn. Could you tell me if yours is the same please?
There IS only one speaker...
Ah, well that would explain it. Silly me, I thought - two speaker holes = two speakers!
One is speaker and the other is the mic
Silly me thought the exact same thing today. I randomly put my phone up to my mouth and noticed the sound went away after covering just 1 side.
Thanks for clearing that up guys!
Hi everybody,
I got an issue with my mic. Since I changed the battery and the usb/mic I got noise while talking to others.
When I record audio or video there is no noise. The sound is crystal clear! The only visible difference to the original condition is the missing copper tape on the battery. I thought the tape was a heatsink and not a shield.
Do you think this might be the problem? I am very confused because of the noise just showing up during a call.
Thanks for reading and even more for commenting :good:
If we cover mobile speaker using hand or anything or put tape on speaker then it will damage mobile speaker or any other thing in mobile?

No, as long as you don't put something inside the speaker grill that could damager it (E.g: Little metal scraps can tore your speaker appart if they're stuck in the speaker grill, you speaker is a magnet so keep it out from any metal debris). Putting your hand or tape over it won't affect it.
Totally right, it is correct. I am always scared about the trash in my pockets, that is filling the mic hole, but I am trying to clean it carefully
