I am new to most of this, but I recently invested in some entry level hardware and hoping I can get some advice setting it up. I have a 5.1 set and a pair of floor standing speakers. I was wondering I should even use all 7 speakers or just 5 according to the way my room is set up.

My main concern is whether I should use all 4 or just 2 surround speakers. Most 7.1 setup I found suggests that I should have 2 behind and 2 on the side, but my couch(1) is flushed against the back wall and moving the couches closer to the tv isn't an option, I'd like to preserve as much room as possible. Sucks, but the room has to function for many other things not just a home theater.
If I was to keep the couches where they are, should I still put up those middle surround speakers or should I just use 2 surround and keep 2 as back up?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm beginning a new project and have most of the implementation process done. Basically the part I need help with involves pulling text from my HTC Touch Pro, and transmitting the text via bluetooth to a digital panel similiar to the one below:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It can be more fancy, but doesn't have to be. The main goals are that it displays text, can receive the text via bluetooth, and isn't bulky (from front to back, height and width don't matter). Running on batteries is a plus as I'd prefer the project be completely wireless.
I'd much rather it be a self contained unit, but I don't mind doing a little dirty work if it means wiring a bluetooth adapter to the screen. I have no knowledge on how the bluetooth adapter would translate the textual data to the screen though, so I may need help with that too.
Thanks for any and all help!
Hi,
Have Xperia Z3 compact and it seems I broke headphones jack. Internally it's made out of two pieces of plastics, black and white part. Could someone with Z3C please check if white plastic part goes all around pins (area marked in red) or everything around pins in naked like on pics below. Would say only pins should be visible?

Plugged in some Sennheiser headphones with ****ty aftermarket plug and it took quite of an effort to pull it out and when it finally let go it felt like something broke. Interestingly I've also used those on xperia pro and never had a problem.
Please help since this really bothers me, have phone for only couple of weeks.
With the aid of some very fine research by JVDE, I put this together from a handful of parts and a 8x2cm board. Functions from left to right are (skip-volUp-voice-volDwn-prev). Works great with Android Auto!

Looks great! Do you have a schematic for how you laid out all of the resistors and such?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The schematics are available at the link I included in my OP. As for the physical layout, I'd have to rip it apart to show it; I'll be the first to admit it ain't all that pretty.
I would have preferred to use a laddered approach, but there just wasn't enough room on the 2x8 board that I used, especially considering the area the switches occupy. Plus I didn't have discreet resistors for each value so had to use a couple in series for a number of them.
Nice work, thanks for sharing!
So, a friend of mine has this case on their phone. http://www.amazon.com/Speck-Products-Candyshell-Amplification-iPhone/dp/B00KXH8PBG
It's impressive. It re-routes the sound to the side of the phone and its loud and clear. Is there anyone that makes one for our phone?
Interesting concept. I would prefer a phone with good audio quality without the addition of an amplification case.

Element Case used to for the S5 when they made Android cases. It ported the audio around the side to the front, worked very well. Unfortunately they went to the dark side and only make iPhone cases now. I emailed them and they have no plans to make for the S7 (or Edge variant).

Trying to find some surplus ones for use in small laptops. These are Motorola phones.

I thought the image went in the first post but this is a valid link to it on Imgur.
I think the metal bar is the speaker cone and it's mounted on something rubber/plastic that flexes. There could be a voice coil type thing in there or it could be piezo- electric like those annoying little beepers.
Those look like blocked. Are you sure are not fake?
I don't think so. Most cell phones seem to have them, some have tiny holes in them.
I suppose I could try a stethoscope on them, or make something like it with a microphone and headphones. By a weird fluke I have a real medical stethoscope in the other room. Mechanics use them too.
