Voodoo sound question - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my girl says that when she talks to me she could barely hear me. She says I sound muffled and not loud enough. Is there anything I can do with voodoo sound control app that will make me sound clearer and louder? ? Thanks guys

I'm going to post the obvious... are you covering the mic on the bottom of the phone with your finger/phone cover?

I hear if you turn the volume down sometimes its easier to hear though there has been reports of faulty mics that are covered incorrectly by the housing of the phone

Headphone Jack issues

Hey everyone just wanted to know if anyone else is having issues with their headphone Jack on the Vibrant? I plug in my headphones but I always have to fiddle with it to get them to work. I have tried multiple headphones to see if this was the problem yet every one I tried the same issue came up.

LMAO same thing happened to me when I first got it
My problem is a little different. I have skull candy headphones with a MIC and sometimes the music will turn on by itself and I'll have to turn it off via the button on the MIC. This happens quite often when it is loud around me or windy(while I am driving). Anyone have a clue why this happens?

Tick sound

So if I tap the top of my screen or shake my phone I hear some sort of "tick" sound. Anyone noticed this? Is this normal or?...

It's the loose power/wake button on the right hand side. This is common in Samsung phones.

I'm actually pretty convinced it's coming from higher (somewhere near the camera). Also if I hold the button still with my finger I still hear the sound. It's pretty obvious when you tap on the screen. When you tap on the top of the screen it kinda sounds clicky while on the bottom just "normal"

I just want to know whether this is normal or not.

Neither if you shake or tap your phone?..
I get this if I tap around the speaker and front camera. In fact I believe it might be the speaker...

Yeah could be..
Anyone else?
Damn you - hadn't noticed this and now it will bug me
I thought it might be the internal part of the headphone connector at first but more playing (and tapping) and I agree, I'm sure it's the front (earpiece) speaker cover bit.
Guess they are all like this, not something most people (me included) would notice until you try.

Yeah I just noticed it even though I already had mine for some time. It kinda bugged me. But knowing that it is normal makes me find it less irritating.

Possible broken speaker

Nooo i was in the bath and i always leave phone on tiled side with music on (back facing down as it sounds louder). I do it all the time, its not really near but i must have flicked some water over and its gone into the speaker and its gone really tinny. It also stops playing at random. I know this is probably a little futile but does anyone have any suggestions for how to dry it out (if possible) or if there is anything i can do to sort it out. Cheers

Do you mean the earpiece or the speaker? Try a hairdryer

Phone speaker to play on videos

Does anybody know of a way to hack the phone speaker to work when playing videos or music? Even if the volume was lower then the speaker on the back I think this would create a nice fill effect that would help the sound.

When you watch YouTube videos the speakers is on the back the the sound isn't the greatest. I'm wondering if there is a way to have the phone speaker play the audio for the videos as well as the speaker on the back? I think this would really help out when watching videos or playing music.

Dafuq?
I think when he is referring to the front speaker he means the one used when making phone calls. If I understand correctly, you are asking if there is a way to have audio from music and movies play through the rear speaker and the front, telephone speaker.
I have never seen anything like this but I'm sure there is a way somehow. However, the telephone speaker isn't meant for the kind of volume the rear speaker is and I don't imagine it would enhance the sound in any way. Also, you might cause damage to the telephone speaker if you were to try something like that.

This is what I meant. I know the telephone speaker wouldn't be that loud but I just think it would help. The telephone speaker would act like a surround sound speaker in a home theater. It's not that loud but it makes the entire system sound better.

Here is a cool video of an Element case that channels the sound from your back speaker to the front of your device. Pretty cool.

The speaker on the back of this phone is leaps and bounds better than the one on my rezound (with beats by dr dre). It may have something to do with the fact that he only impersonates a doctor and is not in fact a real doctor. just sayin

Distorted sound/low volume

Hello,
i'm experiencing low volume with distorted sound coming out of the rear loud speaker on my DNA. It sounds like its blown. BUT it only happen when the phone is charging and laying on its back. once you lift it up, or flip it over, everything is fine. i'm running newts latest with palmers latest. reboots dont help. had some EQS mods, did a dirty flash of newts, still didnt help. any ideas?
Well if it's on it's back then the speaker is covered, and the sound isn't able to get out.

That sounds similar to my first phone, just before the speaker completely blew. There is another thread that is titled "Ahhhh speaker blew!" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248471).
