So, if it was 1/100 before, now it's 3/100. Interesting.
Also, I used babelfish to translate the link you gave, and the title of that page reads "how to turn an HTC diamond into an improvised bomb"... are you sure you're at the right forum ?

he expected 2 improve by 50% , but the result he acheved is better ,
and the Qualaty of sound had improved more than he expected .
I don't think most people here are ready to drill and tinker with their $700 phone anytime soon...though that's a pretty good mod.
you can also say bye to the warranty...

I wonder ,,, Why HTC did not thought of that ?
Next time use the search. Already done this and posted before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408776&highlight=sound

But if you have installed any of the cooked ROMS using hard SPL, you have already said goodbye to your warranty anyway. So what is the difference ?
Olipro has described a method to revert to original ROM and SPL...just for those "warranty" issues. I'm sure I've read it into one of the Diamond ROM section topics, so there's no problem with that. But for this operation (described here to improve the sound), you have no return...though, I do believe it'll improving the sound a lot...but also it'll help to get a lot of dust inside your phone
Warranty? I would have thought you would just replace the cover with a new one should the need arise.... Anyway a somewhat interesting post, although the issue of dust and whatever else getting inside the phone has kind of turned me off unfortunately. Thanks for sharing.
i wont!
I wont do that to my phone!!
try and share your results ^^
check the whole thing on youtube (too bad its not a video, just a slide show with ENGLISH instructions)

of course it works, and of course its louder
all ur doing is removing some of the shielding and case... is it really that hard to work out?
Warranty is now voided, and u will now have loads of **** in ur phone. congratulations.
I never listen to music/radio without my headphones... I have no doubt that it can improve the overall sound but... it's kinda barbaric + it leaves enough space for more dust and stuff... hope it works for you guys!
This looks nice, i bet the part with the 3 holes in the case it's not that necessary. Can someone who did this leave some feedback ?
While I'm sure this works I'm still not convinced that this is the only solution for the ****ty loudspeaker.
I know there is the audio something tweak which helps a bit, but for instances, some alerts such as my alarm (alarm 5) and my "you got message" alerts are shockingly loud, like scary loud.
But then you get the in call loudspeaker and the video playback which are whisper quiet. Frustrates the hell out of me
I'll do this once my Diamond is out of warranty.
If you are worried ab out dust getting in, just glue some kind of filter to the inside of the holes, such as womens stocking or fine mesh...it's not difficult
I'll do it to, after 1 year and 11 months )

Is there ANY possibility that the Xperia X1 has a hidden accelerometer in it? As it was HTC who manufactured it and as HTC loves to hide some cool features of some devices, do you think X1 has an accelerometer hiden in it?
And IF it has... how can we discover it? Any ways or only if HTC or Sony tell us?
Thanks in advance!
hasn't someone disassembled the X1?
Im pretty sure they didn't find an accelerometer
I've seen a video of Xperia getting dismantled, Havn't seen anything that looks like a Accelerometer.
Does someone have a screenshot how the hardware supose to look like?
See this: http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=1028928&native_or_pdf=pdf
Pix from dismantheling... Thanks to: XavierGr
i've tried all the usual accelerometer drivers and tweaks and they don't work so I presume there's not one.
Is there a hardware dump utility like lspci that we can run to see what's there?
View Poll Results: Xperia X1 has a hidden accelerometer?
Yes, it has 1 4.00%
Maybe it has 7 28.00%
No, it hasn´t 17 68.00%
Who said yes?

I dont know if it has a g sensor or not but if it does it is well hidden. I thought the X1 only had A-GPS too until i found a program that unlocks the real FULL GPS so it might still be possible.
Maybe you will have to go for the X2 if you really need the accelerometer

Huh? There's still speculation about the X1 having an accelerometer?? Thought that's like history already.
thats easy.
just let it drop from like 2 meters height. if it accellerates then it should have an basic accelerometer. if it drops at constant speed then it doesnt.
if it doesnt drop at all then it should have an hooverometer.
i would test it for you but i am currently at a spacestation right now and the test would show up "hooverometer" all the time.
if it drops to the ground you should hear a noise. if it is a loud and clear "CLANK!" then it has definitely an accelerometer. if it is a relatively soft "clank!" then it doesnt have one. its probably very hard to distinguish between "CLANK!" and "clank!". i suggest you record the noise and upload it here to have another poll!
even if there is nothing mentioned in the white-paper and not a single driver available and no sign of an application whatsoever ... this conspiracy should be solved once and for all. also there is still the "tv-out issue" to solve. yesterday my x1 was floating near my tv and the tv-screen did still show a picture!!!
good luck,

its has GPS... its listed as having GPS... all GPS programs work without drivers or any tweaks needed >.<
Would be pretty funny if they had hidden a g-sensor in it just for fun...
If there was a hidden iphone in my x1 I would start crying.
It has an accelerometer. It's found right next to the extra RAM and the TV-Out port, all three are clearly labelled if you care to open your X1 and find out. The best part? They're all activated simply by pushing a little pixie shaped button near the bottom of the handset's interior.

A dev could have a bit of fun with that. Add an accelerometer, hide it and don't tell anyone. Then patch the device 6 months down the line with an update that makes the screen switch off whenever the phone is moving and switch on whenever it's stationary.
Worth the lolz? The guys in charge of the repairs/complaints departments would likely say no.
Hi,
Is it anybody here that tried to hardmod thier phone? With this is mean changing the hardware or adding hardware?
I will start to experiment with my HTC ELF as soon as I buy a new phone, just when im bored... would be fun to know if somebody done something similar to thier phone?
no
i cant figured out how to make it cause i dont have the diagram...
hardware changes??? how can we make it.... once i have a Blue angel and try to change the audio port... guess what.. i brick it.... some pads missing and many more burns...
But We have painted them... is fun see my pimped works on Blueangel and on wizard at my signature... PIMP MY WIZARD or PIMP MY BlueAngel
I added a Purple Led into my Hermes, to tell me when i have a text. If that counts... then i guess i "Hard Modded" My phone.
I have seen a fellow from India hard solder a RUIM slot and get it working on a CDMA titan and someone else soldered a full size SD slot on to their touch pro to take advantage of a 32gb sdhc card.
Sure people who are crazy hardmod their phones
I mean wouldn't be fun if everybody who hardmodded thier phone write exactly what they did so us "crazy" people that have a phone without use of it could try to mod it?
Maybe increasing RAM, adding LED lights whatever that makes the phone funnier!

plus alot of brainwork, soldering and time!!
So this is what I think we can achieve, if people that done ANYTHING, and with that I've mean any hardmod, post it and let thoose who dare to try it! Would be alot fun and challenging!

Nice bro, just be carefull so you dont mess it up! I takes alot of time and testing.... I had three PSP devices, one old fat that I made the mod on and two slim ones in white and black.. So I didn't really care if the fat one broke.. I wish you good luck!
Sorry for going off topic, just got excited
When i get a new phone, I have plans to install a couple infared led's on my fuze for night veiwing. Ive wanted to hardwire the dongle it came with in it for a permanent 3.5mm jack. That shouldn't be hard to do.

Is putting a MDA V into a diamond 2 housing "hard-modding"??
I did that, but consider that myself as a minor mod.
The people in the HTC Universal forums did a really impressive and cool hard-mod:
Adding RAM to their devices which made their 256 MB RAM into 512 MB..
Now that is a cool mod!

One time... at band camp... I took my TI-83+ silver edition calculater and added the small leds from an old hess truck and detailed the battery door to look like an engine bay! pretty sweet set up in math class, the only kid with an underglow kit on his car... I mean calculater! lol
I have no idea what is causing this but i thought it was a custom rom so i installed stock and this is still here :S
Its bloody weird! and cosmic!!! i mean it makes some things look awesome but clearly my camera has a hardware problem maybe?

There's a cab for that.
not getting any image at all now just a blank screen - gonna do another hard reset - test front camera and back camera - if they are both messed up then i dunno...
The only thing i can think of is me having magnets near my phone???
Do you use HTorch?
Been around any nuclear reactors recently?
Nope - not used htorch - nor nuclear related stuff either lol - must be magnets??
try flashing another rom
if it dont work on stock ones its never gonna work on any others - getting no image at all now - completely failed
That really sucks - you still on warranty? Seems that your sensor went bad - it used to be a big problem with Canon cameras.

well, the x1 isn't much smaller than the thing on the pic, isn't it?
i just hope nothing brakes on mine until summer (new phone)... last time it's been at service from nov 12th until jan 8th. never again.
just want to let you know..
i made this pictures around 5 months ago and wondered what the **** was going on
but after a few minutes the camera worked normal again. im 100% sure this is a hardware problem.
i also have this slightly pink area in the middle of some
of the pictures, also a hardware problem
Pretty straight forward..the speakers on these devices are far from great..I recently refurbished my HTC EVO 4G and of course I had to find some way to recycle these parts..
I took apart my nook and placed the Speaker from my HTC EVO 4G on the contacts direcrly on the board. I used some tape to hold it in place..then re assembled.
.imgur.com/63SNj.jpg
This is a picture of the two speakers side by side..HTC speaker on the right in the stock location ..
Also what I did was unfold the contact leads on the speaker..I didn't need to do tht..but I will order a new speaker and do a proper write up..
I used the DSP app and adjusted the levels..
Its all proper now...
I shall answer all questions and follow via my twitter @iamsucio please use #nookspeaker
I will update the questions from twitter in a post..
Enjoy

$3 on ebay!!!!
yeap..its pretty straight forward and super cheap..i just layed the speaker on the contacts and held it in place with doublesided tape..so when i reassembled it wouldnt move..
played around with the DSP settings and BOOM!!..
i havent gotten around to ordering a new one..but i did get it a touchstone charging kit that was dumb cheap and this weekend i plan on tackling that task ..which will give me the opportunity to get in there and take better pictures..
putting this speaker in is about as easy as legos..
the nook was designed pretty well and much like the HTC phones..

There's a problem with going that route. You're still using the same crappy speaker, just making it louder, and if you make it too loud for the speaker, it sounds terrible.
If you are using CM 7 on the nook color there is an app on the playstore called "nook tweaks" that will boost your speaker volume. It has all kinds of functions for the external and internal speaker.
Does it go to 11 now?

Why not use a Drill or something and drill some random holes from the back of the phone all the way to the speaker enclosure. This seems like a pointless thing not to mention that that dust filter is there for a reason. If you wanted better sound there are other things to mess up with (and that requires adding extra holes in the speaker enclosure by taking the phone apart).

you are only poking holes onto the dust filter fabric sticker.
Hey there's a dust filter in there that's cool. Don't understand why you would want to do this though.

There's no such hardware revision. I've had both 310K and 312K and they sound the same.
boys little mind wants! the new version Grow more holes .. and I did too!.
Trial and error engineering at its best. Unfortunately with that approach there's more error than success.:silly:
So what you're saying is.... the sim tray tool is making the speaker holes bigger?
Not likely. Not sure how the plastic tool is supposed to make the holes bigger...
Looks like you're just poking at/moving the filter out of the way so you're more susceptible to getting dirt and dust in your phone.
Sounds like a placebo at best...
Well I just got an RMA device and wow are the speaker holes gigantic! They're about 2 times as big as my original one. Sounds sooooo much better.
