Yeah. I think it's for when you are using the speaker, and place the phone on a table, it gives some room for the sound to come out, and not be muffled.

I wish all Android phones were made with speakers in the front of the device. I saw a case maker at CES, I forgot their name but they make a case for the phone that channels the speaker sound to the front of the device. Hella cool.

Yeah I hate how the speakers on the back of the phones and tablets.... when I rest it on my bed, it does sound like a nokia
Everything you do with your phone your looking at your screen. So why not put the speakers on the same side as the screen and keep a seperate speaker for ring tones and notifications on the back.
Naw um sayin.

Come on man. we have created a device that will snatch a specific signal out of the air and translate that signal into a voice or words. I am almost positive someone somewhere can figure out how to project the sound up front. Shoot as far as that's concerned ... from what I see flip the thing over right where it is and send it out around the home button. Just design some fancy grill or screen. I know you've held you hand behind the phone as to redirect the speaker sound toward you...so you see sound can be thrown to a degree. I'm sure this could be done inside the phone too.

What if they shot it out of the charger port and slightly curved to towards the front? But then apple would sue samsung for having the speaker on the bottom of the phone lol.

So I ordered the speaker for $12, pulled the rinky dink speaker dropped the new one in, put the phone back together and bam, feels and sounds like a new MoPho! The repair took all of 6 minutes.

You prolly went to an unfavorable sprint store. I can tell you as a sprint employee that I hear a lot of our customers complain about specific stores that have done them wrong. The reason for the difference in quality of service varies from dealer to dealer as most stores are not corporate owned!

On my second Note now. I exchanged the first one for a crack about an inch or two below the power button. The replacement has now developed a crack right at the power button.
So Samsung can say whatever they want about it not being a known issue - but it is an issue. Knock on wood ... my Note has never been dropped, I don't sit on it, and it's treated like it's a 5" piece of glass (which it is).
I got 3 cracks actually...one right on top of the speaker, one right where the power button is, and one right underneath the home button. Idk if these are really cosmetic flaws by Sammy...cos then again i ten to drop my phone all the time lol...Ofcourse it's always been in its folio leather wallet case so it shouldn't have hurt it that much.

I'm loving my phone. The only thing I noticed is that if I squeeze the phone on the right side towards the upper end of the screen I can hear a little sound and can barely feel some movement where the rounded part meets the rear glass. Anyone else have this? I'm not used to any parts moving since always using iPhones for years now.....until I decided I had to get the LGOG.

Mine feels sturdy and I don't hear any noise. No moving parts.
You may want to get your phone exchanged. Or stop squeezing it so hard.
I agree. Mine just feels like one big smooth hunk of glass. No give to even remotely allow a creek.

Noticed this as well, but only when pressing against a certain spot. Specifically, when holding the phone's edges & pressing directly in the center of the back of the phone. Also, it's sporadic, so I'm not worried about it.

My squeaky spot is in the upper left part of the phone. I notched it last month, but I think it had something to do with battery cover more than the phone itself. I funny think it'll cause any real issues do I'll keep ignoring it until the whole thing falls apart.

Feels solid. No creaks here, but rattling when shaken is definitely there. And the rattling comes from the physical buttons.
As I wrote in a different thread, my phone's build quality is superb except for the cheap feeling and somewhat loose physical buttons.

Mine rattles from the vol button.
It's not a big deal to me since I'll put a case on it eventually.
I actually woke my wife from her slumber last night handling my phone. The creaking is really getting loud. If I touch my phone anywhere near the power button, you would think something is going to break. I wish there was a way to fix it. Maybe a well placed drop of super glue would do it. I don't know, I'm too scared I would mess something up.

So today I was outside with the kids while they were running around the yard fighting eachother with sticks. My phone rang. I pulled it out of my pocket and dropped it on my porch. My otterbox defender protected my phone as advertised, but, upon impact my s pen shot out of my phone and over the side of the porch.
I immediately jumped over the side of the porch to retrieve it. (My knee still hurts) I haven't seen it since. I am convinced that when I dropped the phone it opened up a wormhole and sent my unsuspecting stylus to another dimension. I've been looking for it for 4 hours. I don't have tall grass or anything else for it to hide in. I've found all kinds of things on the side of my house but not the sizeable white and silver s pen. I even looked on the gutter drain to make sure it didn't stick in the side or something weird.
I wish there was an app that could help me. But alas, there is not.
Sad day... sad day indeed.

They're pretty damn expensive to replace too.
This might sound extreme and can and likely will backfire....but, maybe try and replicate the event by throwing one of the children over the side where the S pen launched. This way you may not only get the S pen back, but hopefully the child will remember important details of their travels and not just get back the important stylus but also help with advances in time travel.
Or they might just land on their head and call child protective services.

First day I had my otterbox on i dropped the phone in a restaurant with that non slip tile. Dropped it from waist height and it hit so hard it chipped the plastic part of the otterbox (under the silicone, but phone is fine.) However! My pen shot literally halfway across the restaurant. I'm pretty sure Samsung put emergency eject technology in our phones, much the same as jets. They can say it's for the safety of our pens, but at ~30 bucks a pop, we know better. Well played, Samsung.

Hey guys, I traded my S3 earlier this spring for my S3. Was too pumped to notice the phone was beat up a little. There is a small crack off the side of the phone into the chrome on the side. and one of the corners is missing a little chrome. Frustrates me because I was told I could still be under warranty if it wasn't for these things.
My Problem is this:
My phone works with one pair of headphones, my skullcandies, but won't work with any other headphones i've tried. Also It went from working with my aux. cord in my car to no longer recognizing it. Is there anything I can try? Can that part be replaced? Will samsung cover it under warranty even if the screen has a small crack on the side?

If you've never done work in micro electronics be very very very very VERY careful. You can but the contacts off the MoBo in an instant and they're a ***** to replace and some you can replace.
If you have done micro electronics soldering it isn't that hard to replace the AUX port, that's one of the easier ones for me. Just remember to put some kind of heatsink near where you are soldering on the MoBo, alligator clips work great on this stuff as long as you don't slide them around, to keep it from overheating.
