I just got my X for $300 deal.
Everything seems normal until I play audio at half to maximum volume.
The vibration of the back of the phone is so strong. I think it's from the top speaker.
Is it normal and a thing that I must get used to ?
Thank you.
I believe its normal, depends on the song/sound thoygh
My device does it, to be fair i dont even notice it now that I'm used to it.

Hi I just got my thunderbolt on the 21st. Ever since, the volume on the back speakers are really low. Everytime I play music it sounds like its halfway. But its on full. Even on YouTube.
I've been told there's a "hearing aid" option in the settings that will drastically boost the volume of anything that comes out of the speaker. This may help you out.
Though I just looked, and it's under the "Call" settings. Seems to only affect in-call volume, but it still may be worth a try.
mine has no problem... I usually have to turn it down... might be the video you are playing... but I assure you mine is 4x louder than any other phone (iphone, evo,incredible)
people usually ask to use my phone to watch videos on break so everyone can hear it
Oh well .my Eris was louder. I'll try some other media players. Thanks
My first TBolt was so quiet I could barely hear anything too. I exchanged it and my new one is much louder.

yeah my TBolt is like twice as loud as my evo 4g was.
I remember setting the notification tone, and not listening to it, but hitting ok right away and when it went off scared the crap outta me.
I don't know if I'm the only one but I am on my 3rd going on 4th Thunderbolt. The problem is the ear piece speaker as soon as I use speaker phone once or twice it seems to kinda blow out I guess and everything is a lot lower even with everything turned all the way up and some of the sounds that come out of that speaker are so low or totally gone after that happens. Like the lock and unlock sounds cant be heard anymore unless you have the phone to your ear and even then its a really dim barley noticeable click. And when on calls everything is lower out of that speaker even with the volume turned all the way up. And its only with that speaker the back one is perfect.
no problems
yea I just don't know everytime I use speaker phone a few times it seems to happen on a every single one I have had. I've gone to 3 different verizon stores so its not that its one particular store. I'm going later to get another one and the rep at the store said she would give me $20 credit towards a blue tooth speaker if I wanted so I guess I'm gonna do that. I don't know if its just these speakers cant handle full volume on speaker phone?
I am getting a very low volume from the earpiece when i am on a call. even if i put it up to level 10 i can barely hear the other person. this is at home where there are no outside noise. any one else having the same issue? if i am outside i can hardly hear the other person.
if its a general lumia 920 issue then i think i can live with it as i like the phone a lot. but if its just my unit then i wud like to get it replaced before the return/exchange period ends..

Mine is QUITE loud. In fact, so loud that the Camera Vibrates. I may return it because the vibration is so bad I cannot hear the other party a lot of the time. Otherwise, I LOVE this phone!!!

The volume on my 920 is the loudest of any phone I have ever used. I have it set on 2/10 and it's almost too loud.

I'm having this same issue, however it's happened on two different Lumia 920 phones. It's intermittent though. During the same call, half of the time I hear great and half of the time I can't hear anything. Even increasing the volume to 10/10 doesn't seem to help. I called Nokia support & they said it was an issue with bad AT&T signal at my house. I do have very few bars sometimes, so it's possible that's the issue, however one time I was having the issue & switched to speaker phone & it went away, so I think it may really be a hardware issue.
sounds like a call quality issue. Dial only goes to 10. Spinal Tap Release takes it to 11.

Wow....really, I would love to be able to have it at that low of a setting and it be too loud. Both my wifes and mine are mostly anywhere between 8-10 and there's no way it's close to being too loud for us. I may have to go into a AT&T store and see if we got a couple of lemons.
I would check that, I find the my rogers 920 earpiece is produces low tones, but not quite, almost like there might be too much bass but I also found I was holding the phone wrong lol and the earpiece wasn't pointed into my ear canal rather was press along my upper ear (yes its embarassing lol)
I have some problems with my audio in general.
1. In-call volume is very low for me, but it is fine on the other end. I have my volume setting all the way up.
2. When watching videos or listening to music, it will lag very badly and make a weird clicking sound on both speaker and headphones.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
I have viperXL+ on AT&T

Those two issues are unrelated.
The first with the in-call volume has to do with your speaker grill being clogged with dust. It's supposed to be able to be cleaned with a toothbrush. I've also read that wet wipes or some type of tacky silly putty works too. Nothing I do really works perfectly. I took my phone to the store and got a refurb to find the same thing happened a month or two later. Ugh.
Your second issue has to do with the processor not being able to handle the audio processing properly. The clockspeed of the CPU is constantly truing to "step-down" or lower it's frequency to save battery. The CPU's clockspeed is also linked to the GPU. There's something terribly wrong with the way that the processor and it's software are designed. All I can really say to fix that issue is to deal with it. Make sure your OS is stock because it doesn't really happen all that often.
Also, I'm not 100% sure about my second theory, but there isn't really a solution to it right now and I think that's a pretty good reason why.
Unlocked my white 32GB after 300 MB download. No issues.
Installed a few apps, nothing special yet, no system related apps.
This afternoon my N9 started ticking from the bottom speaker each time I touch the glass. Just unlocking via pattern does it also.
About 12-15 very quick clicks like a speaker wire is shortening out.
Any hope before I call in a RMA?

How loud are these clicks?
It isn't unusual to get quiet clicks and buzzes when using a device, the Nexus 4 for example is a famous for it, it constantly makes a noise if you put your ear to it even when it is sleeping.
The CPU and other components are awake shy. They spend a large amount of time in sleep mode, perhaps coming on for a millilsecond then going off for several milliseconds, then back on at the next touch where it needs to display a nice graphic or do something, then off again. Everytime the CPU switches on, so does a lot of electrical circuitry to drive the power requirements. Currents switching on and off flowing through wires creates noise, either audible directly, like the hum from a kettle or a buzz from a power supply, or via electrical noise that is picked up by other circuits, for example the amplifier for the sound, which then makes it audible. Almost every electronic device if you put your ear to it makes a noise and buzzes, often changing in tone when you make it do something.
So I would say if it is very quiet, only audible in a quiet room when near to the tablet, it's is probably just normal operating noise. You might find a replacement is quieter, or you may find it is louder. You may find someone else can't hear it at all, if you are young you are more likely to hear these things than someone who is older as we lose high frequency hearing as we get older, and listening to loud music in headphones makes it happen quicker
Of course if it is pretty loud, audible all the time and annoying, certainly go for a replacement.

Just wanna make sure, but you are not talking about the button touch sound on Android 5.0 are you? The sound has been changed to a very swooshing sound that almost sounds like static on an audio line.
Thank you guys for your input.
The sounds I observed were loud, not the near silent hum kind. More like a finger nail is hitting a window.
The sound got progressively louder during my trouble shooting.
It ended up in a total distorted, muffled tone coming from the bottom speaker.
Something inside shortened out.
I had a micro-Tesla conductivity meter this morning at my bench and I could see that by touching the screen even at the top it induced a small current directly at the bottom speaker.
I called an RMA and the N9 was declared DOA.
Replacement is in the mail.

When you called what did you tell them? Where did you get it from? I got mine from best buy, and have this same problem. I think I'm going to wait until its closer to my 14 day period... Maybe I'll get a second batch device.

Not me. The ticking sound was the first thing I listened for when was testing out the speakers. I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary.
Took me awhile to be sure though cuz the song i used to test actually did have occasional ticks in it. I had to relisten to it on my headphones and on my home theather system to be sure it was just the song and it was.

I told them just my findings. Repeated click sounds by touching screen from a single speaker. This was a direct Google order and they sent a replacement within 24 h's. No questions asked.
The new White N9 is perfect. No unusual click sounds. In addition to that, there is a little less light bleed and from the few hours I used it so far I get the feeling that the battery is lasting a good bit longer. The first N9 went from 100% to about 40% within 3 h's of trouble shooting, the replacement is still at 75% after I unlocked & rooted and put back all my files, about 2.5 h#s screen-on-time. Makes sense, since the constant shortening out the speaker uses electricity.
The serial number difference of the last 4 numbers is a 44 higher count number, so I believe its the same batch/lot.
Overall, a quick and painless exchange and Google's RMA process is one of the fastest and easiest I have gone through.
