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 ^^

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 )

[POLL] Rattle, noise after cracked case repair

I got my X1 silver back from repair yesterday. I noticed that I have a rattle inside the phone and it sound like it comes from the top area.
I did not have this rattle prior to any of the repairs.
YES, I've had it repaired for crack in the batterycompartment near volume buttons twice!!!
I went back to the repairshop and they said, after disassembling it that it's the camera that rattles and there's nothing they can do about it.
They thought that it might be this way because of the new part.
I asked if they could cushion the camera in anyway so it doesn't rattle, but no..
My question is:
Did your phone rattle after you got it back from the repairshop?
Download a sample of how the rattle sounds when I very gently tap the top part of the phone to my mousepad.

my phone has rattle even with no cracks ;/

I showed a X1 agent how my X1 sounds after repair and before he had heard the rattle he also claimed it was the wheels, but after he said "That sound is not the wheels". He told me to contact the repairshop and the guy at the repairshop said he would get back to me after speaking with the X1 agent.

It's the auto-focus mechanism of the camera. All Xperias make this sound.

the results so far are quite disturbing
i started getting the rattling sound even though im quite careful with the damn thing.
the x1 looks and feels better than other htc devices but in reality it isnt

In my particular case it's not the autofocus that rattles.
The X1 agent said that it isn't supposed to make that sound that mine does.
Does your rattle sound anything like mine?

It's a very tinny high-pitched rattling, the type made by something very small. It also isn't very loud, I have to listen carefully and do it with my right hand. If I use my left, my watch rattles more loudly.

i have week46,black xperia,and crack just like this.damn.i noticed it right now.and there is no sound at all,about anything.just that crack,phhh

yes! received my phone back earlier in the week. had the vibration repaired. seem to acquired a weird rattling sound!

No noise if I shake my X1.
It's 2008 Week 42...I love it!
It's not very old though. Got it since February..

After having taken my xperia completely apart numerous times, and replacing the housing once, I have to say that it should be entirely fixable. Admittedly it took a while to find though.
The xperia housing is very poorly designed, especially the right side, I have learned after my disasselbies

So who is going to try adding a front facing camera now that there is a solution?

I knew someone would figure this out. Now if there was only a reason why I needed a FFC...

can you confirm that there is a spot in the captivate for the camera? I don't see one on the captivate teardown....

Yeah, now all I need is a chat roulette app and some tissues...
But seriously if I had wanted a front camera that bad I would have got a phone with one.. Seems like a risky proposition especially when a hardware mod will devalue phone tremendously even if done well.

Doubt it... Totally different body. Vibrant even looks like an i9000 just branded.

Concerning just the physical constrains, comparing the tear down pictures of the Vibrant and the Captivate, it looks like the Vibrant has the advantage of having the molding for the FFC already there. It looks like there's no place next to the regular camera to place the FFC in the Captivate. It would be pretty cool it get this working though.

Yep, it looks like they placed the headphone jack and some plastic housing in the exact spot the FFC would go. Unless there's some tiny space between the housing and the digitizer glass I'm not seeing, you'd have to carve through the plastic housing to make room. No thanks.

wont happen without some major mod
Okay well we have been down this road many a times in this forum(myself included). And i am going to include a picture of a torn down captivate. The problem lies in the fact that the hold for the FFC is right under the mount for the main camera, where in the vibrant and i9000 they are two separate slots. It would also seem from the pictures that the boards that are controlling the camera are flipped from the i9000 and the captivate. So what we would have to do is flip the board, re-wire the circuit board under the camera from the i9000 so it dropped straight down and then maybe it would work. Here is a picture of the captivate.

Ever thought you knew what a sausage party was. Well you haven't till you've been on chat roulette.
Little smokies!!!

If any of you have seen the PSP camera, here is an alternate idea:
Using a mini-usb (i think) to microusb adapter, hook up the PSP camera to the top of the captivate, and write a driver

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG - Ponies!
Couldn't resist...
But seriously - how can all these noobs start the same thread for things that have been beaten to death?
OK, so i finally did it. It can be done, but you have to make sure you don't cover the earpiece.
But, i find this to bulky for my pocket, so I am working on a telescoping rod with a mirror as an alternative. Will post soon.

Cleaning the speaker mesh

Hi all,
due to using my phone out and about in generally dusty places my speaker mesh is basically fully clogged up with dirt and the sound is drasticly reduced. Has anyone here cleaned their speaker mesh or got any advice on what would be the best way of doing it? i dont really want to start prodding a pin when i dont know what it could do!
Thanks in advance....

if you use a pin, the dust will fall in further.. so i wouldnt do that, but if thats ok by you then go ahead, nothing will happen as long as you dont push it in much further than the mesh ends.
blowing the dust out is the best solution imo.. only question is how to do that without diassembling the phone

I have similar problem I've used a piece of blue tack, just press it in and pull it out a few times to remove the dust and muck.

mines full of dirt

Tried a vacuum cleaner? Obviously the grille is a little small for it, but there might be enough air movement to lift the crap.

Here's what i would do:
Find a SMALL paintbrush... as stiff as possible...
Take Your vacuum cleaner hold the vacuum nozzle close to your phone (as close as you can get it..
Gently start brushing the speaker and let the vacuum cleaner take care of the stuff that are coming loose..
If the brush is to soft, try to cut it shorter to get a little more "power" on it...
Have'nt tried this, but i should work (i think... )
PS (If You are out in dusty enviroment a lot, I would cover the speaker holes with a bit of clear tape.. shouldnt affect the sound to much, and would
keep the phone healtier

Suck it out with your mouth, but try not to inhale it.
Seriously, that's the fastest way.

Or use a toothbrush

vacuum cleaner, tape, blower
You can get cyber clean as well.

Don't go to close with the vacuum or it will bust the speaker inside the ear piece, like he said above use fine clean paint brush and have a slight suction there from the hoover.

Slight Design Change in RMA Nexus 4

I have one of the original N4's when they were released, yellow screen and defective charger. I got an RMA N4 and it looks like they added little nubs to the bottom. Just an FYI

What hardware revision? Boot in bootloader mode and give us the infoz!

It's nothing major. But the back plate can somewhat be more easier to remove.

And which country?

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Interesting touch, and very smart actually given how many people had their backs crack just from temperature variations on whatever surface they put their Nexus 4 down on. Hopefully that lifts the glass off any surface a bit. Flip side is that looks like it'd be a fitment problem for most cases on the market already.

It's not to cool down the glass, is to keep free the sound from the speaker that was getting blocked when you had the device on a flat surface.

They probably have a whole variety of reasons. IMO raising the speaker off flat surfaces would be a perfectly good reason because it's completely muffled when you put the phone down on its back. They wouldn't change the hardware just for that, but it'd certainly help.

Torx screw you mean.
And going back on topic, if the phone is flat on the table the gap could increase air flow for better cooling and increase the volume too.

Its REV 11, Production date 02/2013 made in Korea. i'm in the US and It still fits perfectly fine in the LG Bumper. The photo is little confusing it was taken with my original N4 with a macro lens. the hole is the torx screw on the bottom.

Awesome! I ordered an RMA last night, should be receiving it sometime this week.
My Nexus 4 died on me Sunday night. Red light of death

Watch as dozens of people cry about their phones not having this, and then come up with excuses why they need to rma their device.
