New to the LG G2 and was just wondering if sound was supposed to come out of both of the bottom slotted holes. I only ask because I only get sound out of the holes to the right of the charge port
same. i've tested it with many uses and beginning to wonder if its just a decoration.
lol.
the right=speaker. left=microphone.

This is a microphone grate if I'm not mistaken. I'm fairly certain only one of them is a speaker. There are threads all over this forum with this being stated.

now, if you had the bastardized verizon version like i do, youd see how this is so. there's only one speaker looking grate on their version.. and its not a grate, it's 3 holes.. then the other side is 1 tiny mic hole. wish ours looked like yours though bc the asymmetric look is awful

we all make that mistake. i thought it was a speaker aswell but its just a decoration. lg made it so it looked better in design.
Yes this was my first disappointment of the phone as well. I thought it were stereo speakers so the phone will play music with good loudness from the speakers. Then I played music and it came from 1 grill. I googled it and saw it had 1 speaker instead of 2. (Cheaters)

Through the speaker on the phone or headphones?
PowerAmp I believe has an EQ you can use to boost some levels, for the most part, the max volume is going to be a limitation of the phone.

I thought the same thing until I saw how tiny this thing actually is.
It weighs absolutely nothing & is about the size of a matchbook.
Believe me, it is worth the little extra effort to use it & if you can't hear with this in place you would have to be completely deaf.
Hi,
I have beats by dre and the buttons that came with the wired are similar to the Samsung headphones. What I mean by that is that they both feature volume up and down and the button for switching tracks and answering calls.
However, my problem is that the button in the middle for switching tracks etc works but the volume up and down don't?
Is there a solution for this?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yeah.... Just burst it open and switch the small cables until it works then screw it back together again. OR you could cut the wire on both samsung earpiece and beats, just switch them around so you got samsung buttons with beats headphones attached, simple!

It's not a problem exclusive to beats though, i think many 3 button headphones have trouble working with android devices. Maybe if you'd care to share a pair that work without problems, the OP would consider them if the issue is bugging him that much, telling him to 'buy proper headphones' doesnt really help him.
I have beats also and the volume up and down buttons dont work, but it's not a major issue for me. I downloaded
Headset Button Controller from the google play store, it allows you to control everything using just the single button (double tap skips to next track, triple tap goes to previous track etc) works well..

Got the same problem with the 3 button cable. Also the mic is not working properly, making funny issues.
I just use the simple cable with no button.

Yeah they're good for the price. Its pretty hard to distort them. I think if you Mix poweramp, full bass and any Hybrid track though, you're in trouble. But they do me.
Bit gutted, got up on the bus, caught the chord on the seat and ripped the left out of my ear. Must have strained the connection as the left is only 75% volume compared to the right
Beats is a marketing gimmick
thanks
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.

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

Yeah but the difference is the DNA has better internal audio hardware and if it gets pushed far enough it will.
I would go through HTC, if they warranty repair it they can fix the device and send it back instead of replacing it.

I don't even use the speaker I use headphones and usually keep my phone on silent or vibrate. If you can deal with not having a speaker it's probably better than sending it for repair they are probably going to replace it and if you are rooted and s off unlocked right now you will lose everything and need to jtag your replacement.

The speakers matter. Keep those amp and throw ****ty speakers on it. Raise volume. Speakers blown.
So in the instance of blowing speakers, they are correct, the amp isn't what is keeping it from being blown.
An amp is an AMPLIFIER. It amplifies sound. It isn't protecting speakers from being blown, if anything, it is helping the cause.

Yes and no, an underpowered amp will blow a speaker faster then an overpowered amp will on the same speaker, it clips and starts sending voltage and burning the coil. So in a way an amp does help prevent speakers from blowing, but only to a certain point, then they can also still overpower the speaker.
If that's what happened to the phone, I don't know, but saying an amp will prevent it is inaccurate, but so is saying an amp will cause it, it's all in what the amp and speaker combination is capable of.

The 2.04 OTA screwed up my sound control. I didn't have sound issues before the update, but after...horrible. The sound profiles for headphones and normal (no headphones/headset) would change volume settings at random and would reset to a default full volume every time I unplugged my headphones. Then while headphones were in the volume would jump to full either randomly or when the first notification came across even with the settings for ringer and notifications were all the way down to be silent. The only thing I have the volume turned up on normally is the alarm. I prefer vibrate over sounds. Less than a week after the 2.04 update, my speaker started to crackle. Within a month it was dead. I could get a few seconds of sound out if by squeezing the sides of the phone. Just got my replacement yesterday and it has been good so far (on 2.04).
Both of these phones were completely stock. I have my old HTC One S for playing around with root, but if unlock is figured out for the 2.04/2.06 phones I will be rooting to avoid the chance of this happening again.

How is the overall call volume? Is it loud enough?
Why do manufacturers do these dumb things?
I wanted the loud speakers mainly for the loud ringing advantage, as I set my phone down in one corner of the house and often miss calls as I can't hear it from the other rooms.
Hopefully there's a fix.

Seriously, I don't know why every review I've read so far talks about the power front facing stereo speakers when the volume is really so poor. What's the use?
Looks more like a software glitch to me.
One more bug I find was the volume indicator which appears when you press the volume rocker doesn't seems to be moving continously the correct volume levels. Again, not sure whether it's just me alone with this bug.

Well, it depends on you, but I feel it's a software issue as I could hear loudly when I play music. So it can't be a hardware issue. It could be a matter of bug fix update from Sony to fix it.
