So I've been having issues with the earpiece on my Hero from day 1 and I'm concerned the speaker may be blown. Any sound coming from the earpiece above 75% volume seems to be accompanied with a nasty vibrating sound (which I know for sure is from the speaker and not a call quality issue). Does anyone else experience this? I need to know if the hero's earpiece speaker simply cannot sound at high volume or if my speaker is blown. I dont wanna have to exchange the phone and pay for another ghost armor kit and install!
Anyone have white noise when using headphones? I hear it when using an in-ear type of noise isolating ear buds, and only hear it when the audio is active (ie whenever the table is making a sound like adjusting volume, keyboard touch sounds), but otherwise is dead quiet. I can also hear it over quiet music, but otherwise I guess the music covers it up.
Quick update. Tried with a different pair of headphones. Definitely better. I am sure the white noise is there, but I can't hear it with this pair of headphones.
Haven't notice this with, say, the nexus 5.
Yeah, I'm having the same issue with any low impedance headphones. When listening to silent music or videos I can nearly not hear it over the noise. On every action I make the headphones are activated and I instantly hear the white noise.
Also the volume for the headphones is pretty high (levels 1-3 are bearable but above it's too loud, and level 1 is too loud when in a silent environment). I don't know if it's a software issue, but it's definitely making using headphones horrible.
Tried this with Apple EarPods and Sennheiser In-Ear headphones. It's better with open headphones but unbearable with in-ear.

Yes i am getting a lot of noise with in-ear headphones too.
I guess for now only high impedance headphones will be silent.
I also get this on my Bluetooth headphones. Same thing on my Nexus 7.

Hey guys,
There is no ear speaker on z3 compact tablet?
I am forced to use the headphones when in public places as the calls always come through the loud speakers.
Is there any way I can disable this and use the tablet like a phone??
well it is a tablet after all and it does not a dedicated ear piece for phone calls but what you can do is lower the volume all the way down and still be able to hear.
Can anyone who's used it comment on speaker performance? I love everything else but lack of stereo speakers disappoints.

I can't comment on the quality of the speaker as I don't have the phone yet but it does seem sort of short-sighted on LG's part. For me it's not a deal breaker as the headphones are more important. However with a conscious effort to consider sound quality, you would think they would want to jump on board with the idea of stereo front facing speakers.
I think that having stereo speakers would increase the bezel. I'd rather have thin bezel than front facing stereo speakers. Having the speaker on the bottom is perfect for me as on the back the volume is greatly reduced when the phone is sitting on a table (missed some morning alarms this way).
Is there any Chance to activate the top speaker for better and louder expierience...?
