Hi, those who owns the htc touch diamond 2 can you please advise what the speaker is like?.....more importantly is it loud?.....compared to the original diamond and touch pro?.....i dont care about sound quality.....i'm more interested in the loudness....because my old diamond have very soft speakers....the speakers on that was terrible....I miss most incoming calls.....thanks in advance.
Do you mean the loudness for ringtones or the speakephone? Bothe are pretty loud and clear, better than most phones I have had...
Good to hear this. On my old HTC Kaiser the speakers are awful.
I dont have one but Im guessing the touch pro 2's speaker is gonna be amaizing so if its like that its gonna be amazing, but I dont think it will have dual speakers or a dual mic so it might not be that good but I dont know about tha for sure cause I dont have one just saying the touch pro 2 is supposed to have amazing speakers I thinkl, persoonally I will go for that phone cause of the bigger screen and keybaord and dual mic and speakers but I understand how some would prefer the diamond cause its thinner and has a better camera.

hello all,
just a quick question for someone that has owned a Nokia N95 and a Kaiser?
Which one has better and superior sound quality?
my mind is pretty such convinced i need a Kaiser as my next phone, but one of my main uses for mobiles are music!
Or could someone point me in the right direction as to find out the specs of the speakers used in both devices.
cheers

wondering the same thing here. alogn with teh sound quality. im talking about the loud speaker, not headphones.
Sound quality is okay on the Kaiser, Nokia sound chipsets are so much better than the HTC ones. The n95 is a media powerhouse. Has better sound, better camera. The kaiser is a business phone and has a lot of pros.

With all due respects the sound on mobiles is dreadful, even good ones, why on earth anyone wants to listen to music out of 10p miniature speaker I have no idea, to annoy people around them I expect
The sound on the Kaiser is just about what you expect for voice, and how would expect for music, sounds like it is coming from a 10p cheap miniature speaker with some extra vibrations.
Use headphones or buy a device designed for music is my advice
Regards

Yupe, the sound on the built-in speaker of the Kaiser is really awful for listening music.
It is very laud, but really, not for listening music.
i think the speaker sound quality on Touch Diamond is not good. Low volume and weakness on mid-tone and bass. do you feel the same ?
Hmmm...Well, small speakers are weak at lower pitches. Are you comparing the quality to other similar devices or to other speakers in general?

i'm compared it with my HTC Touch Elf. I use same MP3 ringtone on both devices. and e-mail alert "wav" with pushmail. When email arrive, the voice of "You've got mail" is big different in quality.
In my Touch Elf, sometimes people will thought it's real human speech.
Fair enough. That's not good then...
TBH, I think the speaker on the Touch looks like it should have a better sound quality than the speaker on the Touch Diamond too...
Then I guess I will be happy since it's bound to be better than the HTC tornado wich was my last HTC device..
what do tou think about signal strength??
Hi,
I work in a big society of telecommunications, and I'm an acoustician. I measured a lot of mobile phones, not only WM compliant. In general, the quality of mobile phone is very bad, I measure a HTC P3300, and it's not so good as a Sony Ericsson Wxxx for example.
I mean that it's so crazy that we spend a lot of money in a WM compliant phone, having a bad voice quality ! What are HTC's acousticians doing ? It's time to put good transducers in our phones !

For signal reception strength, i think it is better or equal to my HTC Touch Elf.

I don't know why, because the speaker quality in HTC Touch Elf is still up to normal people standard. So, I believe that HTC Touch Diamond, as a sucessor, should be better or equal to that in Touch Elf; but I know it's not the case now.
Maybe this is another drawback due to the thickness.

The Touch isn't that much thicker (something like 2mm), so I don't think there's any excuse for bad sound quality.
2mm is a nassive amount when you're considering the thickness of a device. But, I agree that in a year, components should have gotten smaller, and HTC should have never compromised call quality to make it thinner.

Hi,
What do you think about the Diamond touch voice quality ?
Good, bad,...
I've got a trinity, and its so bad quality voice...
Thanks for your answer !
This is very disappointing to me, I was looking forward to the Raphael. I may just have to wait and see what the Nvidia chip goes into and hope for better sound quality. Thanks, JASTECH
Hi!
I am using HTC Touch Diamond for last 6 months now. I have found that the sound quality without headphones is very poor. is it a problem or fact with all the devices. sound quality with headphones is superb.
well the speaker inside phones are tiny
one can't expect them to give anything but a triple-ridden sound torture
we've known the old desire(dhd inc)'s speaker is almost a crap.hope htc do well this time.
it is the only point that may break my deal!
Interested to know this too. Although some have said it seems ok I would like to hear from anyone who can directly compare it to the DHD or the original Desire.

yes. but i don't think "ok" is enough,as that can mean they don't care about the loudspeaker/sound quality. hope they compare to samsung or nokia devices.
Had a play today - speaker is pathetic. Just like the Desire so HTC have learned nothing here!
It seems you can compare the speaker on the IncredibleS with the Desire, Z & HD. That's really a shame.
Currently I'm still on the Touch Pro2 mainly because the speaker quality is actually pretty good. Was thinking on buying the DesireZ a while ago but decided to skip it due to the bad speaker. Now the IncredibleS suffers the same problem.
Wonder if my next device will be an HTC. But look at the alternative. Devices from Samsung and LG suffer from LED notifications. What's wrong with these manufacturers?
The saga continues...
Not at all .....i have both phones and the incredible s is noticeably different to desire hd....i mean its no beats by dre.....but there is a noticeabe improvement.....when holding both phones hand in hand and playing same song.....you can barely hear the really tinny sound of dhd over the sound of incredible s.......dont get nme wrong there is till a lot of room for improvement by htc
I dont have a DHD but had the original desire and the incredible s is definitely better sounding from the speaker phone. Its not great & I wouldn't listen to music without decent headphones but it is improved none the less. I only use it for sat nav & its perfectly fine for that.
Well this is encouraging. My time with the Incredible S was very brief and the sounds demo'd to me were those that come on the card. When I asked for a demo of the speakerphone the assistant was unable to make a call so I wasn't able to test this.
Interesting, if it really is better than the DHD it may just be worth a shot for me ... Sat nav instructions were barely understandable from the Desire when I had it due to the poor quality - one of the reasons I ditched the original Desire and also the DHD.

It is a tad bit louder that DHD but i think the noticeable improvement is depth of music...for instance the DHD will just sort of play snares and lound sharp sounds where as the incredible s has a wider range of sounds that you can hear

That's kind of what I was hoping for but is not something I was able to hear from the time I spend with the IS. Guess it needs more thorough testing to appreciate the differences.

Sat-Nav is one of the main features of the phone for me, I used it on the Hero all the time but the screen was tiny. I use Co-Pilot, and the instructions are nice and clear for me, and the bigger screen makes a huge difference.

Hmm as for sat nav i doubt either phone will really be on par for such a task on the audio front but as stated Incredible S has shown some improvement in music quality....but to be able to play turn by turn direction over car noise and traffic.....i doubt it will.
Also...
Visually both phones are good......as for use as a sat nav....the DHD has a larger screen for maps etc but the Incredible S has a better anti glare screen and much more vivid colours.....
Played with the HTC Incredible S. Loudspeaker is better than on the DesireHD. But my HTC TouchPro2 is still louder and the has more "body".
Currently also looking at the Optimus 2X by LG. This has a better sound chip. But haven't tested this in real life just yet.

It looks like recent HTC products have speaker problem (at least it happens on my nexus one and MT4), but my TP2 doesn't.
The speaker on the I-S is without doubt 1000 times better than the garbage HTC put on the DHD.
The DHD speakerwas rubbish for music and I could never hear youtube videos without cupping my hand over the back of the phone but still to no avail.
Having got an I-S the first thing I did was compare the two side by side, and I cant even hear the DHD playing due to the loudness, clarity and depth of the I-S when both on SRS ...such an improvement, well done HTC.
For such a good phone, HTC really did betray the customer with what they put in the DHD...yes, its great with earphones, but who always wants to put earphones in..do they think nobody ever wants to show other ppl things they are watching.
Anyway, that isnt the only area of supremacy IMHO..the screen is much better, I dont know if its cos its smaller, but its clearer, not washed out, and has colour depth comparative to SAMOLED...you dont realise how bad the DHD screen is until they are side by side..you feel as if you have been robbed from day 1.
The viewing angles are amazing on the I-S cos of these issues too, clearly viewable at all acute angles.
The moulded handset is very comfortable, lighter which is betteras regardless of what ppl say, why would anyone want a heavier handset????
The lip around the screen is much better than the DHD too, almost non existent, certainly not noticeable...the on off button is more distinct too.
I dint mean to bash the DHD, Im just annoyed as I bought one when it first came out and it was very expensive and apart from the solid build quality, HTC really did rob the purchaser at every level...so my contentness with the I-S is a consolation
I think the speaker is pretty good as well!
But then again, I'm coming from the Xperia X10 so quite everything is better on this phone! xD
Such an awesome toy
hell ye, the speaker is banging
Having used the HTC Desire HD and Desire Z, and now having switched to Incredible S I can say both the earpiece and the speaker phone are way better on the Incredible S.
I also used the TP2....the earpiece on the I-S is as good as the TP2. The speaker phone is not as good...as I have not seen any phone with a speaker phone as good as the TP2 till date (that was awesome).
Having said that, the speaker phone is quite decent on a stand alone basis and any day better than the D-HD which was SH*T!!!

that says it all
As you all Optimus 2X owners can see there is two "speaker" holes with a net under the phone on each side of the Micro USB. Is these both holes suppose to be for speakers, or is one of them (the left one) just for mic?
I have sound only on the right one, and has been thinking about this for a while now...
I am not the only one with this right?
One is speaker, the other is the mic.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk
phew.. my speaker is not out of function then thanks for fast reply.
I was reading the manual too, but that didnt say where the speaker is...
This was one of the first things I noticed on the phone when I bought it... you would think that there should be dual speakers stereo sound on a dual core phone
Yeah, kind of bad it isn't stereo on such a high-end phone... But then again, the iphone 4 is constructed the exact same way and that's the most expensive phone there is. My old N900 had 2 speakers, one on either side, it did enhance movie watching somewhat, but mostly I just use headset anyway so doesn't really matter.
