Hi,
In htcmania ( http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=8843 ) claim that if you block the output grid of the speaker you get more volume and better quality (less metalic) sound.
I've tried myself and the sound is... different. Anyone else wants to try?
!!
Block it and get louder and better quality sound?
Thanks for sharing! Will try if i get time

"Different".. Please elaborate. Was it worth it?

Come on, you just have to open the lid and put the finger on the speaker to try it...
My feeling is a little bit more of volume and more "complete" sound, without those nasty high frequencies that give it the classical metallic sound.
It's just a piece of tape, don't expect 6 dB boost
The Diamond has one Speaker that is used for both calls and other loud tones. During Calls the volume is obviously lower. However the speaker is placed inside the casing, the sound outputs are both on top and through the front hole. Closing the top hole from inside will obviously direct the sound waves to come from the front and so it may definitely sound a little louder.

wow, imho much better sound! You can test it with the "finger trick" mentioned above.
Yes! I put my finger on the speak lid and the sound became much louder!
Yep definately an improved sound. Put my tape on the inside back cover at the top as it sticks easier.
Thanks for the tip
In fact it is not louder By default the sound is directed from you through the back grid. If you close it, all the sound goes to the front grid. Strange design by HTC engineers :/

i've just tested this and you're right
without the back cover off, the tape will make it louder.
But after you put the back over on and close the phone, the sound will be much lower, maybe equal to normal level.
I've just removed the tape because i can't even hear my phone when it is in my pocket.
it's really work !!!
great tips, thanks
Tried it... Voila.. Good amount of difference.. Should be added as "HARDWARE TWEAK"!!!
Downside, missing some (very) high freqency notes...

Maybe the upper out is there because of that... in case you block the frontal one, at least you can hear something.
I don't know, but it was worth trying, wasn't it?
Works very nice!!
I was trying the same thing on my Touch Pro but the sound gets worser, because it already has some kind of filter plate on the speaker. But with the tape it increased the volume a bit (virtually).
Thank you, i try it.
wow, it is areally good idea.
Please more tricks like that!
I did it when I first had my phone, did it with the cover on though, just put your hand at back but don't cover the speaker, so that the sound is directed to you and not all over the place and it sounds much better, not as tinny and makes the sound a lot clearer .
Just wish HTC would stop putting the speaker on the back and top of phones . When HTC released the SPV C500 way back in 2004, they put the main speaker on the right side of the phone, never had a phone with a better speaker since
seems to work really!
sounds much more clear at higher volumes
thanks!
I am finding the earpiece volume when listening to anyone really low even at full volume.
Is this a common problem?
Thanks.

I don't have a problem. One thing I'd suggest trying is to shift the phone around against your ear. It's possible that the earpiece speaker isn't lining up with your ear just right...
Not to be that guy but a simple search for volume brings up multiple threads of the same issue. Known problem for some.
Hello,
I have a question - it sounds like the sound coming from the bottom speaker is slightly louder than the top one - is this problem hardware issue or software?
Anyone else with issues like this?
My top speaker is louder I think.
hmm i consider it the same issues lol

Well, maybe it depends on the Music‼
...and also - if the battery percentage is lower, then that also could be a reason!
All the best
thanks, but the battery is high.
also, when i change the direction of the phone (landscape, both sides), the stereo changes and the consistency of lower speaker is louder continues (even though the stereo changes from right to left \ left to right)
The left speaker doesn't work on my Mate S L09. It's not a software problem because I hard reset all but nothing.
Can someone give a disassembly guide or an idea to detect problem?
Thank's
The Mate S has afaik no left speaker, just one mono speaker which plays the left and right channels.
What about the left? it's for what?

The answer is obvious - the microphone.
Obvious for you, but is not really obvious at all. It's a crappy way for installing a microphone.
I notice a small difference between the volume of both speakers, the front speaker sounds a little lower than the speaker that is on the bottom of the phone ... I do not know if it is normal or the size of this are different... It's only a little difference, but exist... Any comments about that?
I think this is normal, if you are holding phone normally front speaker is closer to you so it cant play at the same volume as that at bottom. And maybe when phone is playing video full screen both speakers are the same volume? Idk. Test it mine is also - top one not so loud as bottom,
Thanks for the answer!
That's normal. It's the same even on the iPhone.
