I made an underwater recording video in my sink for YouTube and when I was watching it back I noticed that the sound got a LOT less loud :/
Anyone know a solution?

You have to wait for the speaker cover to dry properly.
It will come back to normal once its dried.

Are you sure? It's been 2 hours now ..
Have you had a similar experience?
It can take a while to dry. 2 hours is short.

The manual says to let the speaker dry for at least 3 hours before using it again.
Although, it's fairly obvious that hardly anyone that has the phone has even glanced at the manual

See no sweat it just takes a while to dry. Sony here in Germany Berlin said to me that if it isn't better after a day so like 24 hours then there is problem.

My missus dropped her fone getting out the car without realising under the car. Then when getting back in and driving off the fone got run over by the car and pinged off into the middle of the road!!
The screen is cracked badly so needs sorting on insurance but the fone itself works fine and the only cosmetic damage is the screen!!

I take at least 20 photos and few videos per day with my mobile. But with this many out of focus photos and dark videos. So no, not much.

If you like taking pictures, you should check out lumia 920. It has the best camera of all the phones.

So here I have my 304k phone, and seeing the nipples on it, I thought there was some use. However, when I place it on a desk, the speaker gets muffled incredibly and I can barely hear anything out of the speaker. Anybody getting this?

I'm sorry... nipples?
You can't hear anything after placing the phone on your desk because the speaker is on the back of the phone. Flip it around and you'll hear just fine.

The little bumps some models have at the bottom of the phone, on the back near the speaker.

Pretty certain they are so the glass isn't in direct contact w/ the surface so it doesn't get easily scratched and not purpose built for the speaker.

I've seen on many websites that the nipples are for raising the glass so the speaker doesn't get muffled, and I'm pretty sure that when the glass isn't in direct contact speakers should be better.
Now I need to hold my phone when I watch YouTube >.<

Did you also notice how small these nubs are. If the intent was for speaker enhancement, I would think they would have made them bigger. I would consider trying to locate a case with a kickstand if you watch YouTube often.
Ummm, lay the phone on the screen so that the speaker doesn't get covered?
And don't say that will scratch the screen! A case or bumper can easily remedy that! If the back speaker bothers you that much, get the HTC One with the front facing speakers!
Ok guys let it go.
Ok guys as it seems that People are still in middle school I renamed the thread.

You use crystal glass table put your phone screen down, then you plug in headphones and stick it with duck tape to very sensitive stereo mic which is plugged to high quality amp and speakers, lay down under the table and enjoy :silly:
Will the nubs rub off over a period of time if I keep my nexus 4 in a tight case?
Sent from my |\|€×u$ 4
I think the nubs are there so the back won't be in direct contact with the surface of anything that may cause a sudden temperature change and break the back glass.
I haven't received my phone yet, so it's just a speculation.

Raising the glass off surfaces will improve the speaker as well I think.

Wow, people amaze me sometimes.
Got my Gear in this morning. Wanted to do an unboxing video. A first for me. Enjoy!

Give us your impressions.
So far, I am limited until my phone arrives later on this afternoon. Right now I am wearing it to see how it feels. I have large wrists so I had to use the furthermost hole in the band, but it fits well. It has a bit of weight to it, which for some, might take a little getting used to. The buckle also serves as the speaker.
If you're typing it can interfere with the wrist rests on your keyboard but your mileage might vary. I did power it on and take it outside to test outdoor visibility. It's sunny here in Houston today, I didn't see any issues, but again, it's just my preference.
It came with a 71% charge. I used the cradle to charge it to 100% which didn't take long at all. The watch is pretty much useless without the phone.
I want to see a pic of it on your wrist for size comparison plz ,,,,thx
Can you tell me if an MMS will show up on screen ?
How far away from the phone can you get before it loses connection ?
Thanks!

Still waiting for the phone to arrive. UPS is notoriously late for standard deliveries around here. I was surprised when they overnighted the watch lol.
I'll try these things out as soon as I can.

Try putting it inside a container of dry rice for a few hours. The rice should absorb the water from the phone if there is any left, and the speaker should go back to its normal volume.
just wait ~3 hours, that is normal

I think I may go to best buy and mess around with their watches and compare sound levels. See if it's normal to be lower or if mine is just low. I feel they should have included the speaker on the actual strap facing you (opposite the camera).
