Anyone else notice that their speaker is very quiet? Even at max volume the speaker is quiet compared to my Galaxy S3's speaker. It doesnt get very loud at all. The quality is fine though.
I actually prefer sound quality over extremely loud... and the Nexus 5's speaker sound quality is leaps and bounds better than the S3's incredibly tiny speaker. Yes, the N5's isn't gargantuan, but it's able to produce better sound i'm guessing due to it's orientation. Can at least FEEL the N5's speaker thumping away when touching the back panel. Hardly feel anything from the S3 even with your fingers practically ON the speaker.
Hello. Can you please check if your lumia 1020 has a moving noise like the one that it does when you turn on the camera? I mean if i sligthly tap
on the back of the device, I hear something moving.
Thanks!
The camera on the 1020 makes a few noises that I believe are expected for the design. The camera cover can be heard opening and closing when the camera is turned on or off, the camera moves within the phone a bearing (OIS), and the mechanical shutter can be heard when taking a picture.
When you tap on the back of the phone you're moving the camera module within the phone housing.
Thanks. I was just a bit worried.

Just for some extra reassurance. I tapped on mine and hear just a little bit of noise of parts moving. It's not quite as loud as the sound of the shutter opening when the camera is activated.
Thanks. Same as mine.
Hi guys, how are you?
I'd just received my brand new Moto G and a couple of questions came to me after using it a while:
1. Is the noise when typing on the keyboard normal? It's not very loud, but a sound that comes with the haptic feedback.
2. Inside the Camera App, when you open the gallery (swipe to your left), you can hear a sound very similar to the one mentioned above. Is that sound from the camera working?
3. Anyone got screen bleeding?
Thanks a lot guys.
1 I can't hear how it sounds on yours, I hear a sound too guess it's normal and comparable to other phones I've owned.
2 this is the sound of the camera shutting down and the shutter closing. You can hear de sounds when the shutter opens also but it's quieter. No worries it's normal.
3 yes I have some bleed, but only slightly in the top left corner and only visible from medium to high brightness. As my phone is on low brightness 95% of the day I don't care.

Hi,
When I turn on the camera (rear camera) I can hear some kind of crackling noise when I put my ear against it.
Is that normal? No other phones I've used is like that so I just find it a bit odd
No sound here. My phone uses a Sony IMX260 sensor.

Is it a crackling noise or rather a clicking noise? If it's the latter, it's just the shutter moving into place.
If you shake your phone while the camera is off, you can hear this moving around. But as soon as you open the camera app, it's rock solid. No more moving plastic sound.

its the optical image stabilization .... when the camera is not on it moves around free on the axes points and when the camera is on the image stabilization is working so its compensating for movement.
I stand corrected
I was close though
Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the Google Pixel XL's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Coming from the Moto X PE the one speaker at the bottom sounds so sad. I also am having to train myself not to cover it up on accident. For me it is way to quiet or too loud.
Coming from a Galaxy S6, the speaker on the Pixel is significantly louder and clear. I have not been jaded by an HTC set of speakers so I might be in the minority that thinks the Pixel speaker is great.
Coming from N6, I was worried that the XL's speaker will not be as loud. I can confirm that it is as loud, if not slightly louder, but the dual speakers on the N6 has more depth. Overall, I am not as worried as before.
The quality is good, could be louder.
The sound on my end is great, the people on the other end say it's muffled at times. Since I use speaker all day for conference calls I will have to return the Pixel XL

This makes me feel better since I am coming from a N6 and absolutely love the speakers. I'm going to miss FFS, but at least a quality sound will comfort me.
Not loud enough...and sounds bad in comparison to other phones i've had in the past (even single speaker ones)
Speaker is pretty bad as far as media/games is concerned. RIP stereo. It's good for normal notifications though.

You keep badmouthing the phone yet provide no information for comparison. What other phones have you had, even single speaker ones, that sound better?
This is very subjective anyway
My comparison is with the 6p. Single speaker comparison is the lg g3. The speaker is not terrible on the pixel, but just not as good as one would expect in such a high priced phone. Also, the placement is horrid since you accidentally keep blocking it while watching videos of playing games in landscape.
But otherwise, a fantastic phone which really define what great software and hardware can achieve
Its ok. Not nexus 6 good ofcourse. Its nice for notifications
I made a video comparison between the speakers on the Nexus 6p and the Google Pixel XL. Check it out.

I typically run the phone through bluetooth when listening to music, however I must say that when watching videos I, like others have said, block the speaker. Coming from a Moto X Pure I don't think the speaker on the Pixel is quite as good. It's not bad per se, but I don't need the speaker to be spectacular when watching a video. Notification sounds are plenty loud for me. I haven't used the speaker phone option much, but when I have it has been fine.
I find the single speaker avg. I sometimes cover the speaker with a pinky or palm by accident and muffles just a slight flaw but not a deal breaker.
RIP my Nexus 6's front facing speakers. This is my only major gripe with this phone so far. So disappointing. Front facing speakers should be standard.
Max volume loudness seems about the same as my 6P. My 6P gets crackly at max volume, while the XL does not. Definitely less bass on the XL though.
Coming from the N6 it is not really a fair comparison because the stereo front firing was louder and clearer to me.
The Pixel XL speaker sounds OK and perfectly acceptable for notification. It would have been better if the earpiece was also used as a speaker and the location of the bottom firing speaker flipped with the mic for media.

It sounds deeper than my note 7 did. I like it better. The only issue I'm having is my notification tones seem to only be about 2/3 the volume they should be. Example is, if I go to Zedge and preview a notification tone, it sounds fine. Set it as notification sound, and it's only about 2/3 of the volume it was in the preview. I have everything I can find turned to the max. Idk.

Ditto to this. MXPE spoiled me in sound quality. Why doesn't every phone have front facing speakers? We certainly got the bezel for it...
