I'm sitting here trying to watch videos on my new Verizon V10, but the speaker is so tinny/buzzy-low that I can't enjoy it. I'm having to watch on my old HTC M7..
Does the speaker improve over time? What were they thinking giving us this great screen but requiring headphines to watch anything?

I have the t-mobile variant and the speaker is very loud, to the point I have to turn it down when I let my daughter use it while she cleans her room because the sounds travels though the house. Maybe it's a bad unit.
The speakers are loud for me too， but the sound quality is pathetic

So you guys think it's software? Maybe a fix in the future? I expected the same speaker as the g4, but it's not as loud.
I'm on the fence about keeping the phone for this reason.
mine is low too. Tmobile v10. G4 had really awesome loud sound !
They are acceptable, but don't expect to be able to hear them in a room that's not completely quiet. Coming from an HTC m8 the speakers on the v10 were disappointing

That's a coincidence, I'm actually thinking of selling my v10, and buying a used H8 How do they compare?

I loved my m8 for the 1.5 years I had it. Awesome speakers, durable build(I had no case and only a vinyl wrap on it since week one), really easy to use one handed unlike the v10.
The v10 has a way better camera, super fast phone(4 gigs of ram?), brilliant screen, 268gb of storage with my 200gb micro SD. The extra battery is a major win, swapping battery's for the past two weeks and going from 0% to 100% in 20 seconds has been amazing.
But honestly my v10 has already started to fall apart, it's only a month old and looks beat to **** already. Already has more micro scratches than my old m8, the camera ring is scratched, the back cover is tinted with dirty/is a different color than rest of the phone, has several chunks missing from the rubber.?

Agreed, my wife's note 4 is much louder/clearer.
I know is not a big deal to most, but hopping in my old car (without Bluetooth) and still being able to enjoy listening to a podcast is a big deal for me. I just wish I knew if there is a software fix possible. Seems like some are fine with the volume.
There must be different suppliers for the speaker unit because I can tell no difference between my V10 and any other phone i've had with one speaker, including the G4, any of the Galaxy Notes, S4, Nexus 4 etc.. and i'm not hard of hearing or undiscerning. We're talking about a speaker 1/4th the size of a fingernail. Has anyone had a single-speaker phone that seriously didn't distort at full volume? My Note 4 sounded like crap, just like the V10, only the V10 doesn't get muffled when laying face up on a soft surface. I change phones every few months, can't remember a single one that sounded significantly different than the one before it with the exception of the Nexus 6 and its two front firing speakers, but even those distorted like mad at higher volume.
I've never heard HTC's "Boom Sound" so maybe i'm really missing out there. If every one of HTC's M series cameras didn't stink so bad (relative to the flagship competition) I would have had one by now though.
I find the sound comparable to my last phone galaxy s5. The speaker works well enough for my use not fantastic. I use Bluetooth most of the time anyway. I figure different phones have different drawbacks. All the plus's about this phone outweigh the negative.
I have a T-Mobile V10 that is rooted. I have Viper Audio(V4A) installed. It has made a VERY dramatic difference in the audio output and quality of the speaker. I rarely have to put the volume even halfway up! Audio is clear and loud. This lends me to believe that it is not a hardware limitation of the V10's speaker but software. The speaker can produce some loud and clear audio. I root all my phones to use V4A. It allows me to get great audio from the built in speakers.

Maybe there are different speakers causing all these different experiences. My wife's note 4 is much louder, and my daughters Droid turbo is much much louder. I seriously can't watch an interview - type YouTube video because I can't understand what anyone is saying.
I just factory reset my 2 day old v10. The speaker is a deal-breaker. It's going on Craigslist/eBay. A phone with end bezels this large should have great sound.

I called lg and spoke to them about the speaker. They said I was the first complaint they had regarding low sound. Their tech said the speaker was as loud as it ever would be and software would not change it, nor did they plan on making any changes or updates to the volume.
I'm sure it was a canned response but certainly not encouraging.

as you can see in my signature i come from a desire hd as well. compared with the dhd the sgs2 is superior in almost all things:
WAY better screen (although some people have problems with yellowish tint, dead pixels, ...),
far more processing power,
better cam,
WAY better internal speaker and sound quality (you can use the speaker phone with almost no distortion with high volumes),
nice look and feel (first i feared the "plastic" look, but i got used to it and like it now),
much less weight,
to name only what comes to my mind!
so if you trust me, switch to the SGS2, you won't regret it!

IT's worth it. This device...2GB ROM, 1GB RAM, 1.2Ghz Dual Core which android isn't even completely reeady for yet. The GSII won't be outdated for a long time. Yes, there are the quad cores at year end and about this time next year, but the GSII will still be able to keep up. Don't see more than 1GB RAM in a phone any time soon!
Yes upgrade .

Thank you people for your replies, as I too am seriously considering the upgrade.
I have heard a lot of positive things about the speaker.
The one thing, is music quality through headphones, compared to the DHD. I listen to a lot of music and love the SRS. I use PowerAMP, and understand you can use an equalizer as well.
Your thoughts on music quality through headphones?

The headphones fit nicer in the ear, because they're the soft rubber (circular-squidgy) style, compared to my old HTC hard earphones with only a thin layer of foam for softness.
However the quality still isn't that good, but then again I am comparing to Bose in-ear headphones which I've gotten used to over the past year.
The quality compared with my iTouch playing a song bought from iTunes, is better. I didn't think it would be but playing Poppiholla - so it's got the bass, treble and a range of different sounds, is better. Of course, the improvement is barely noticeable, but one thing I really do like, is the fact at the top right of the player there's a 5.1 surround sound button. This actually works. I could hear the sound of the song change and it sounded really good. It felt as if it were coming from behind me.
So yes, the quality of sound through ear-phones is damn impressive. I just tested it now. (also if you're playing music, you can tap the home button or unlock the screen and a small widget/console/3 buttons slide in from the top making it easy to skip, rewind/go back or pause the music)

I can say that both are good. I was streaming off my NAS Box this morning. Sound quality from it was really good. I had it below half volume and the speaker was a surprisingly good quality, and I was listening to rock (which if I tried to do the same on my Desire, would be very distorted)
Of course the loud speaker comes down to a fair bit of personal opinion, the fact that is on the back, but it's on the bottom of the back - the slightly thicker bit - which is in contact with the surface you put it on. I think it's the sound bouncing back off the surface that actually creates a good sound. Used it on a wooden table and table cloth and the sound quality was good on both.
Hello,
I have read in reviews that the ear piece speaker and external facing speaker are not the best in our phone, HTC Amaze, however, I was wondering if any one had tweaks or an app to "boost" them, outside of manually adjusting the volume on the phone of course?
I think I saw 2 apps that were developed for the nexus galaxy that improved the LED and the speakers respectively.
Thanks for any ideas

I have found that I would like a louder ear piece and speaker.
It is OK in a quiet environment however, if there is exterior or ambient noise I feel myself working harder than I would like to ensure I hear clearly the person speaking.
You don't have a similar experience?
I'm fine. Everyone's hearing is different however. Are you talking about direct ear contact or strictly headphones?

Jeesh! It is a common problem in a noisy environment. I have excellent hearing and no ear wax...ewww. I have a terrible time hearing through the earpiece and find myself constantly moving the phone around on my ear trying to find the sweet spot.
If you enable the "hearing aids" option in settings/call, it will amplify the sound considerably but then it sounds like a speakerphone with no privacy. Maybe in a very noisy environment, that wouldn't be a problem. I tried it in my local very noisy grocery store and it worked fine but still sounded too much like the speakerphone. At least I could hear what the other person was saying!
I have moved the phone around my ear a lot to figure out where the loudest sound is coming from and when I sort of point the very top of the phone at the ear canal, the sound is much louder. Maybe this will help but it is still frustrating. Never had a phone that is so hard to hear in a noisy environment.

This is only a smart phone. Granted, it's a very - very good one. However, it's not a DJ's workstation. It's a phone. Use headphones if you're so bothered. And not the ones they give you in the box because obviously those aren't that amazing.
Always buy a good quality pair.
If you're talking about the sound quality of the ring when you're getting a phone call, don't beat the phone up about it. When you get a phone call, you pick it up to stop the ring. You don't sit there listening to it!
This is the one of the best speakerphone speakers I've had on a phone (outside of my older blackberry). iPhone speaker is awful, and the mic. is even worse.
Sounds like you have something wrong.
Anybody have any good suggestions for some bluetooth earbuds? I have both the Motorola SD 9's and 10's as a headset but never could really get good sound isolation from them. I've been using some wired earbuds lately and am noticing how much of a difference in tone that makes(especially on lower frequencies). Still hate these wires though. Headphones that go over your entire ear aren't my thing either.

First impression on these. Ho-lee-sheet! You weren't kidding. I snagged a pair today. BLOWN AWAY! So comfortable(more so than a headset), sound is a-ma-zing(I can hear things I never could before). and the bluetooth range is very impressive. I get about the same range with these as I did with the S-9's and S-10's,,, and those are headset sized. I'm hoping they will hold up as these are mainly for working out.

I've had them for at least 10 months now, and they have been my daily driver headphones. They are perfect for working out, snowboarding, and since I work night-shifts at a factory here in Denver, they are pretty nice at noise cancelling.

I'd like to make an amendment to this. the S9's had super weak bass, but the S9-HD's were REALLY good and brought the bass up to respectable levels. S10's to big headed fellas like myself were not comfortable at ALL. So, keep that in mind. I haven't tried the S11's
I'm currently using the Jaybird Freedom 3's and I really like that, very comfy, better treble than the S9's and the bass, with some EQ manipulation with Viper4Android, and very good too.
LG tone
Really like the lg hbs-730 tone+. I run in them and they have been great. Also had the S9s before that and liked them but have felt that the in ear aspect of the 730's has been a nice upgrade.
Do they stay in your ear?

One thing I loved about the s9 and s10 sets is that they never came out of my ear during a workout (except for when bench pressing, but that was to be expected). How has that experience been with the lg's?
I mostly just run with the LGs and almost exclusively outdoors. I have had zero problems with them falling out. The only thing I will note is that there is sometimes a noticeable wind noise over the buds when it is windy. I guess because of the shape of the exposed end. It isn't terrible though and doesn't ruin the experience.

I had quite the opposite of whathifi. I felt the g2 sounded warmer than the s3 (possibly why they think its laid back). Had better bass texture/response and did have a bit more clarity up top. Overall they were both very similar but the g2 felt a bit more in your face vs the s3 (which is not very laid back).
These differences were very small. I believe the international version has a wolfson dac. If that was what they were comparing then its possible what they are saying is true.
Thing is they don't list what that used to test the equipment with.
if you want to tailor the sound , try using viper4android. It really makes a huge difference in sound quality. you can also use correction filters for your specific headphones. You wont be disappointed.:good:

I think the reviewer was talking about iPhone. There are definitely some aspects I like better than GS3, the warmth, etc. The main thing I noticed missing was transparency in treble. I have been listening with RE0s lately and cymbals etc are just extraordinary with my (Wolfson) S3. Good with G2 but not magical. But I need to sit down with the two of them side by side and listen.

That would make more sense. I was trying to a/b my s3, g2 and my home headphone setup. I know its easy to get confused when a/b'n with no time off for your ears to adjust but the g2 was sounding nearly as layered and textured as my canamp and micro dac. Had me worried but i know that was just from going back and forth.
I have yet to really listen to my g2. They did sound nice with my 701s, though. Made snare hits sound more natural. I"ll have to spin them with my GR07s.
I have had only other other Android phone to compare with the G2, plus our Sansa Clip+. I use the Neutron Music Player app which has its own audio driver, runs on Neon, 64 bit, parametric equalizer et al. With good/VG quality headphones (Grado SR 60), the G2 sounds fine to me. The headphone volume output is similar to the other Android phone I had previously. We GR owners can also stream out the music through the USB OTG to a DAC, car sound system with USB input, AV receiver with USB input.
While I agree the clarity is beyond any other android phone I've owned I find the sound to feel rather compressed. I have the verizon version so I'm not sure if there are any differences there but so far I'm disappointed after reading great reviews.

After extensive head2head comparison with my S3 w/Wolfson, I returned mine today. The audio is simply not as good. It is louder than stock GS3, but not better. Tis a shame, for it is a remarkable device otherwise. And I miss it already.

Is this after the viper mod or stock g2? My note after dac tuning sounds amazing and not willing to get this or the note 3 since they both have similar dacs, if thats the case. Let me know
Huge audiophile here. I listened briefly with my Koss Pro3aa headphones and was pretty happy with the sound. A huge upgrade vs my t989 for sure. I'll do more extensive testing later on.
