Stupid speaker trick - Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

( may have been talked about before but I don't remember it . . . )
I decided to load in the 500 songs that were sitting on my hard drive onto the phone.
I wanted to test out this new $30 Bluetooth headphone and I felt the pixel was stable enough not to have to redo loading all these songs over again.
I wanted to test out the sound quality of the pair of front speakers, seeing if it was much better and be up to snuff in quality sound coming out of the phone .
.
And the verdict is YES, the sound quality of the music coming out of the front-facing speakers is fine. Not great when you drive it at 100%. You'll notice very good sound at like ~ 80%.
Well that was when I was holding it in the air. Or I was just basically holding it up to my head, - you know - , trying to see if I could detect the lower one being louder.
.
I sit all the time at this cheap 'Ikea' desk, in the back of this place where I have my main development computer at....
I just rested the cell down on the top of this El Cheapo wooden surface . . . . and noticeably, just by having the phone resting facing up vertical on the computer desk and the sound got twice as loud and a little better.
.
For me, it was to a noticeable degree, having a chunk of the cheap wood right next to it.
Hmm, maybe that'll be a new product of some kind. . . A vertical kickstand for your wood desk. . . The sound coming out of the phone is nicer and louder.
.
hope this helps...

This works with most small speakers, they will use a flat surface (make it vibrate) which effectively turns the surface into a speaker itself

I wonder if a hollow timber/wood surface would produce better sound?
Something worth trying

'Rattly' speaker

Hi,
I have just taken delivery of my new Touch cruise which I am really quite happy with - except perhaps one thing - the sound of the phone. It seems to be a bit distorted, like the earpiece rattles a bit - does everyone else's do this too and its just a case of getting use to it, or have I got a faulty one ?
Yeah i got the same problem too. They replaced the mainboard, but it doesn't help. I,m going to return it for the second time now..i hope they will fix it now.
btw if you press hard against the earpiece, the "rattly" noise will dissapear ( for just couple of minutes :S ).

Ummm, interesting !
This suggested that it was perhaps the speaker just rattling too much, and if it was pushed down, thus stopping it from moving so much, that the sound would improve.
To test this I cut a small amount of cotton of the top of a cotton bud (AKA a Q-Tip for our American brethren) and put it in through the open earpiece, and then (lightly) forced it down toward the bottom of the speaker.
Hey Presto it done the trick, the sound is much much much better and is actually really quite good now !
Perhaps not the most sophisticated fix in the world, but it works for me, and it means I don't have to clear all info off the phone to send it back and then wait 5 weeks for a repair.

Does it sound like your Camera lens (flash) is loose when shaking the phone?

it sounds like when shaking the phone something is loose around the area of the back camera and/or flash light.. hard to pinpoint exactly where the sound is coming from but it really sounds like it's coming from around the camera.. if you jiggle the phone in your hand you can clearly hear this sound like something inside the phone is banging around...

yup this slight tapping noise from the top where the camera is located or in that area, how strange.... now you have set my OCD off! lol
Never noticed it before, but my guess would be SIM, SDCard, or battery moving around. They can't make the spaces exactly the same size as what goes into them due to manufacturing tolerances, so it could be that there is a little extra space for one of them that allows it to wiggle around some.
no it's not the sdcard, battery or sim card.. it sounds like something inside the camera area.. like by the lens or the camera flash is jiggling around inside..
hold your phone, shake it a little bit and see if you hear anything around that area..
does anybody else have this sound?
Jerks
Now I will never stop hearing that. I have to return the phone.
Mostly kidding, yeah, I hear it. Forget about it.
okay so it sounds like all of these phones make that noise huh?
I dropped my phone the other day in the sink (opps)... and after that is when I first noticied this sound.. so I don't know if it was like that from day one and I never noticied or if because I dropped it that caused it to start happening and then I was anal about the phone being okay after I dropped it thus that's when I noticied this sound..
you guys ever drop your phones? or you hear this from day one?
I havent dropped my phone and i can hear the sound.oh well not a big deal

Mine does too. As far as tolerances goes, I was a machinest for 10yrs. I've made everything from hip/knee implants to car parts. If they wanted to make it fit better they could. I use to work with +/-0005. One human hair is about .005.

Well, while I agree with you about being able to make it better, you can't really compare machining tolerances to injection molding tolerances (which is how the bulk of this case was most likely made). There are a lot of factors that go into injection molding that you don't have to worry about with machining (draft angles for example).
Plus, they're making millions of these... the tolerances were probably created such that the probability of the parts not fitting together was reasonably low with respect to the price of each piece, so you can afford to scrap some units. Then there's the statistical variation from lot to lot, etc., etc., ad infinitum.
This is coming from experience in both areas. I'm a mechanical engineer who's designed both big honking machined metal parts and tiny intricate injection molded plastics.
In the end, they're only going to design and manufacture these parts as well as they need to. Sad truth.
true but regarding injection molding it's all how precise the mold is built... you build a mold right on the money, you get a part right on the money..
anyhow back on topic... I don't think it's the ejection molding, etc. that's making this noise.. it almost sounds like the camera lens or flash is lose or something inside the phone right behind the camera lens is moving around. I took the cover off and held the sd card, sim card, battery, etc. in place with my fingers, shook the phone and still hear this sound...
no big deal.. just a little annoying.. when you put the phone up to your ear to answer a call, etc. you can hear this rattling noise inside the phone..
I hear it too. I also hear a similar click, in the same area, when the phone boots up. no biggie though.

Its definitely the camera, once you activate the camera app the sound is gone if you trying wiggling it around again. Very strange.

Could be an orientation sensor, I remember a phone in the past use to have a tiny rattle to it and thats what it was.
you are right!!!! the sound goes away when you activate the camera app.. infact when you activate the camera app and hold the phone steady you can hear a single click noise from the camera... must be something with the focus, etc.

I hear it too in my brand new Charge. It works great, camera does too. I'm pretty sure it has to do with image stabilization, which is an option in our default camera app. Image stabilization in cameras typically mounts the image sensor on a little rig that can move around independently of the camera body, and has some means of stabilizing it (usually gyroscopes and/or servos). My guess is that Samsung somehow figured out how to make some compact system for providing image stabilization (maybe a magnetorheological fluid?) for such a tiny sensor. I can't really guess how it works, but it does seem to work quite well in producing crisp images.
The fact that the camera rattles slightly all the time except when you're using the camera app would certainly seem to confirm this.

[Q] Few questions about Z3 - speakers, waterproofing, light leakage, 3.5mm output

Hey guys.
I bought my phone yesterday and now I have some concerns and questions about it:
1. my top speaker sound different from my bottom one - bottom one sound tinier than the top one, my guess is that the top one plays low frequency sounds while the bottom one plays the high ones... Was just wondering do I have a defective device or is it how it's meant to be?
2. my screen is centered unlike some cases I've seen on the net but I do see light leaking around bottom/left side and I'm wondering whether that'll affect my phone's waterproofing or not?
3. does the Z3 have low volume output through the headphone jack than other flagships? I've tested it with iPhone 5S and Note 3 and it seems to have lower volume at its highest.
4. does the stamina mode work or no? Because my WIFI stays on even when stamina mode is on and I'm not sure that it makes any difference to the battery life, but then again, I had this phone for less than 48 hours so I'm not sure.
1)It seems to be normal.... Mine gives the same sound output too
2)I don't know about that... An user told me that someone, with lights from gaps like you, after a water test, his z3 is still alive so... Can I ask you to post here one or two photos of the screen? I'm curious to see, you are the first I know with no gaps on the smartphone
for 3 and 4 questions, I don't know, sorry man

Good to hear that, I was worried that I had a defective device even though when I listen to music with both speakers I don't really hear the difference, I have to cover one to hear it.
Sure, here are the pictures, I'm not sure, maybe I do have gaps on all sides thus I think I don't have any. lol

https://www.dropbox.com/s/6tth22sowkagiao/IMG_9907.jpg?dl=0
Here you can see the leakage: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dg4uyxejic3airp/IMG_9909.jpg?dl=0
I think it'd be best if you'd download and zoom in for inspecting, those are 18mp files. I'm pretty curious to know whether it's got gaps that I don't see or I'm just lucky.
Man, I've controlled the photos very well and... yes, the glass seems to be centered in the perfect way. Same distance between the glass and the frame on the top, the bottom, the left side and the right side. Perfect... So, I guess it's the same story about the z2 with the gaps situated on the top right side of the phone. On ten devices, one or two are assembled in the right way that a user expects to have. And you man are very lucky to have bought a right one. I've decided to use the recess (I live in Italy, and before 14 days you can send it back without any explanation) and send mine back.. My z3 has the glass not centered, and like you I have a line of light coming out from the gap on the right side... I hope it's a manufacturing problem that takes the first models assembled by Sony, maybe generated by the short times to put the smartphones on the market... I really hope that it is that. I'll buy a Z3 next month again, and than I'll see...
It feels good, I'll be homest. Lol
My device was the last one left in the shop if I were to come an hour later it would have been sold and I would have to wait for another batch...
I still wonder whether it's waterproof or not though...
the best thing you can do is to go to a Sony assistance center, and take a water test. If something go wrong, you will not have any type of risk, because you have a technician near you that will see a possible damage, and in the worst case your z3 will be replaced. But, before anything, send an email to sony for more explanation about that.
Yeah I will try to get in contact with Sony through internet. Can't do the water test since there's no Sony in my country, only licensed retailers...
I think the volume output with headphones is way too low on max. That's the only real complaint I have because everything else is amazing with this phone.
Yeah it's a pitty... I have tried volume boostets too, but they do literally nothing... Is there any other way to boost it?
I'm thinking about getting an EX110 / 110AP but I'm worried that it would be useless because they are pretty cheap and I think that and z3's output will be pretty bad together... Oh well, we weren't as lucky as z2/1 users so it'll be better than the headphones that came with the phone.
1. I don't have any speaker problems I done the service test aswell
2. I don't have any light leakage
3. Imo its around the same output as my GFs note 3 but its lower than my note 4 I've tried with my beats mixrs and the MDR-NC31EM, the boxed MH750s and Samsungs boxed headphones same song, same settings which is equalizer bars all set to 0 and bass on and nothing else e.g no studio or surround sound etc.
4. Yes mine works

You mean top and bottom speakers sound exactly the same while covering one and leaving the other open?
How does yor stamina mode work? Do you see your wifi disabled when unlocking the phone or is it how it's meant to be? Because I can see it like it wasn't even disabled...

Yes they sound the same to me
yes that is how stamina mode works, if your stamina mode is on, on the right hand side of the battery there will be a + sign.
I have the same issue with the speakers, think they're just like that. Stamina mode seems to work ok on mine, in that it stays "asleep" until I wake the screen. No light leaking on mine and my screen is centred, although I wouldn't use light leaking as an indicator that water would get into the phone. Light shines through glass boxes but water doesn't go through glass. It's probably just thin paint etc.

5 Major flaws with this phone

#1: The sd/sim tray is so poorly designed it'll actually not slot into place properly and I've used this device for only a few minutes. This means the IP rating is basically useless since if anything sips in due to how the tray is designed it'll leak straight to the screen and everything else. I've tried to use minor force to slot in in the place "properly" but the thing is that the flat part that covers the slot wobbles meaning it is not static, which means we have a topkek moment a la Z1-5 flap issue all over again.
#2: The sd card reader is gimped, less than half (getting 1/3) the speeds compared to say the XZ1.
#3: Now let's talk about the elephant in the room shall we? The glass backside, It's not flat! Meaning it can't sit on anything with a slight decline like your bed, pillow, or anything slippery for that matter. You either buy a derpy case or live with the fact that this device can't even sit flat unless otherwise.
#4: Weight was added for no reason, and a lot of people tend to believe that weight equals quality, but in this case it had no reason whatsoever. And what's the best of it all?! Said weight made it thicker, which means they had plenty of space to add that headphone jack that was removed because they had to follow the fruitcake trend. And because it's rounded in the rear, it makes the actual thickness seem thinner than it's predecessor which is around 2-3mm thinner which has guess what? A headphone jack! And don't give me that BS about needed cooling, the S9 is thinner (about the same as the XZ1) and comes in both Exynos and SD flavors.
#5: Let's remind ourselves once again why the headphone jack was removed, not to mention a lot of regions won't even ship with any headphones (nordic region here) which felt kinda cheap, but at least they provided a dongle!
I got a pair of MDR-EX650AP and WH-H900N if anyone is wondering and both come in handy, trust me.
Goto admit I love my XZ2 and I only agree with you on No.2 and No.5...
2... Im using a Samsung 64GB 95mb/s SDCard andthe read speed is rubbish.. this is my second XZ2 and its exactly the same.. so it tells me theres a software issue.. In both the SONY Music app and using the home screen widget, from pressing play.. It takes about 3 secs before music starts playing.. and Im getting lag when accessing phot9os and files on SDCard... theres been 2 updates so far... 145 and 159.. and neither updates have fixed this
5.. Dont even mention the stupidity of removing the Headphone jack from devices ... its been a thorn in everyones side since HTC, the first Android Dev to follow Apple with this "Sheep" like trend on their U Ultra last March 17.. and now its a thing... do you know what really gets me is everybody complains about on forums, yet nobody goes on a Devs Twitter or FB page and says "I was going to buy your phone, but because you removed the 3.5 jack, Ive bought a Samsung instead"... do you know, if everyone started saying that.. we'd have the Jack back by 2019... because regardless of the device you actually buy.. theres nothing worse for a DEV than critisism on their front pages.
Anyway... I think the XZ2 is a gorgeous device, beautifully weighted, stunning.. yes, STUNNING and simple camera, great speakers.. anda great screen, No its not perfect.. buts its pretty good
I'd also add the downgrading of the front camera to 5mp from the 13mp in last year's XZ models. Though I wonder if that could have been a space issue at the edge for the module.
It's the one thing (well and the SD card speed) that is keeping me from upgrading from an XZ1. Though if the price gets low enough...
And #6 - no double tap to wake the phone... I am not sure why this was removed since the Sony X series.. its a real shame....
The camera is still bad ala sony

Camera isn't that bad. But don't use the Auto Mode!
I've made some comparisons (maybe i can show one later at home) and the auto mode is just bad. It makes blurry pictures, especially the darker areas. Switching to manual mode with auto settings raises the quality extremely. Don't know if that's a bug or whatever...
No wired video out is a big one for me...
I can't deal with the deletion of Video app. I can't play videos other than in MP4 format. I don't like to install those badly designed apps from google play. Any solutions?

Guys do you have problems with screen scrolling? I can see alot blur on screen when I scrool black tekst on white page. It makes me dizzy. Is it because poor pixel response time on that IPS panel? I had before Lenovo Zuk Z2 IPS and Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro AMOLED and no problems on them at all. I have this on Oreo and this Android P beta... This LCD seems to be terrible... also too much of white colours, looks like milk splash on glass. Any way to fix it? Colour calibration does not help on these both issues.

Found 2 more flaws -.-
1. The Speakers are not Watercapable.
Took the phone into the shower with me... Sound volume dropped by 70% as soon as the phone got splashed with water.
2. Microphone placement!
They really placed the microphone beside the USB Port... Where do you place your little finger when you hold your phone at the ear? At the Bottom! To prevent this slippery phone from sliding out of your hands. If your placement is bad you will fully cover the microphone and then person on the other end of the call won't hear a thing! Happened multiple times to me before I realized this -.-

1. Water will block sound waves, not a huge amount you can do with a phone.
2. Not an issue for me as I use my left ear and my little finger is the other side of the USB.
My most annoying thing on this phone is the XZ2 is very slippery!! Cannot even sit calmly if there is a slight angle on the surface! Have to buy a case to prevent this though...

You are dumb. Speaker grill has some material that prevent water to drop inside and if water stays on grill, sound can't get through that water. Dry it and sound will increase again. That is common for all phones. This is not a flaw.

"Dumb" is impolite, but I can understand you.
Everyone who had physics in school should understand this behaviour.
Btw.
I hate 2 things
1. The DRM **** (it is my first Sony phone)
So I hope for a drm fix which doesn't reduce the camera quality if used with aosp and gcam.
2. The slow, undocumented sdcard performance of 20mb/sec.
The only flaw that stops me from buying anything from the XZ2 line-up is the sad lack of development support, specially custom kernel development.
Sadly enough.

Worst xperia ever..

Returned this phone. Why?
Having come from z3 , was expecting vast improvement.
Too heavy, absolute brick. Infact I swear you would get RSI from holding it too long.
Speakers, nasty , distorted at high volume. Maybe just mine, but shop said loads of them returned.

No 3.5 headphone jack. Nuff said.
No FM radio.
Its spins when on flat desk, even with case!!
Fingerprint scanner in totally wrong place.
Really poor design.
Really? U din't check before buying?
Complain by Sony and not here !! -__-
I also came from Z3. I have to say that it is a major improvement over Z3.
As a matter of fact, we recognize haters because they always start a new thread instead of posting in the already existing threads... :laugh:
Yeah, the hate is getting way out of proportion.
Many of them who hated this phone never even see the phone in person.
i loathed the design when i saw the first press release fotos...
It looks way better if you hold it in your hands than compared to fotos.
Still could be better.
P.S Someone already reported the thread and asked for moving to Q&A ?
Please close this useless thread !
I came from a z3 and it's a nice big leap in performance. Fingerprint sensor is not in the prefect place but I don't have an issue using it, speakers just fine none of the issues done have. I'm not a fan of the shape out of a case, it's a stupid back and far too slippery, but add I use a case it's not really an issue.
Overall I'm happy.
Next time do a little research before investing so much in a phone. That's not sarcasm, it's common sense.
fingerprint is in my case at the right place. I'm left handed. Came from the Z5. Overall I love the phone. I only hate the backcover and its "feature". to spin it.

I am right handed, and I agree, just the right place. Could never understand people hating on the placement. It's not the same place as other phones. But I like it where it is. The speakers are amazing! And I love the screen. Overall a beautiful phone. The only reason I didn't keep it, is because I work out in the country where T-mobiles service is borderline. Having a phone with great reception is a must for me. And this phone is just average. Really loved everything else about it.

Its spins when on flat desk, even with case!!
Fingerprint scanner in totally wrong place.
Really poor design.

I'm able to hold the phone during hours without any pain, the curved back is a great improvement.
My speakers work without any distortion even at maximum level.
You have a dongle in the box the plug your headphones, 10 more cm at the end of your headphones jack doesn't matter.
FM radio is discontinued since a long time.
I've added a back screen protector, the phone doesn't spin anymore and isn't slippery neither.
Fingerprint scanner could have been placed a little bit higher but after a week of use, that's not a problem anymore.
Design is my taste.
But why did you buy the phone of you don't like it? Were you forced buy someone?

Exactly 100% agree and same meaning what i have ^^
XZ2 is perfect and no issues or problems or something to complain at all
Agreed, those who complained about XZ2 either haven't use the phone and just listened to what haters said or have a faulty device.
I have no complaint about this phone. Perfectly placed fps for aesthetics and ergonomics, lack of 3.5 mm headphone jack is a pity but I can tolerate it, and the design and ergonomics are fantastic.
For me missing is only noice canceling feature in XZ2 or other new line of xperia
This lcd on xz2 is a blurry crap with lines on the screen if surface is hot and you move finger fast. Crap.
Nothing wrong on my LCD screen even when hot surface.
