Havn't seen any threads around here about the quality of the loudspeaker, like for mp3 ringtones and such.

I have an XDA2i and the sound is tiny, with no real range, but it does get loud enough to hear ok. I'm wondering, could anyone with an HD post a quick paragraph about how the sound is over loudspeaker.

Also, i understand there is a system equalizer. does this effect the loud speaker or only music over headphones?

Thanks, i'm waiting patiently on mine to be delivered but it's been playing on my mind (excuse the pun ;) )

.....BANE
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
Considering it's a tiny speaker it's not bad. No complaints.

There is an EQ program called 'Audio Booster' which is also integrated with the TF3D music player, this does only work with headphones.
[Touch HD General] indup:
very bad sound from the speakers,quite possibly the worse i have experienced of any phone.

ringtones are quite good, i am referring to multimedia playback through the speakers.
[Touch HD General] gt112:
yes I agree, it really is awful.

The speaker in it is worse than listening to a single mini headphone placed in the middle of a table. Terrible! Considering the price, a decent speaker would have been nice . .

as would a flash for the camera

as would GPS that didnt take 5 minutes

as would the ability to play movies without them stuttering

as would the ability to view flash content in web pages

as would the ability to store stuff on decent internal storage

I know all the arguments for the above, size, weight, battery . . . but you have to remember what we all paid for this device. We paid a HECK of a lot of money.
[Touch HD General] BANE:
mmm.. so it coulld bea little disappointing. I guess as long as it is better than myxda2i, i'll be happy
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
the trinity was worse - I don't mind the sound quality which is just lacking basses but is not crackling...
[Touch HD General] BANE:
mmm that's good. on full volume songs on the 2i were cracky. i didn't expect any bass really.
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
WOW, we're talking about a tiny little speaker on a phone, think some people are being a bit picky.

I'll admit though, It's not as good quality as the B&W's I have hooked up in my house ;)
[Touch HD General] gt112:
Philo, I do take your point honest I do, but my point is that we are paying between €600 and €700 for this puppy. That's like buying a Rolls Royce. You expect everything to be perfect and of excellent quality. Is that not a fair expectation for that amount of money?
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
Yer I guess that's true :)

Personally I would use the multimedia features of the phone on the move with headphones so don't really consider this a particularly important feature of the device.
[Touch HD General] winwiz:
no complaints, i think the speaker is very good, much better than the diamond!
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
No sir, you're not being fair. First of all, the device is not expensive, if we're to be honest about it. My uncle paidmore than usd 10,000 for a car battery size phone years back. My first brick sized phone cost close to usd 2000. Now you have phone/gps/mp3/camera/video recorder/video player/computer/radio for a mere fraction when inflation should have pushed it to usd 70,000, but we're paying 100th of that.

Next, if you're expecting a perfect quality sound, buy an FM broadcast device and play your music over your car speaker, or wire it to your home HIFI system (which I often do), or buy a good quality headset and listen to your music in that way. The speaker on the phone is mainly for the ringtone. If it is loud enough to alert you, that's mostly enough. Don't expect AC3, or 5.1 sound coming out of that because one should never try to enjoy good music from this tiny little speaker.
[Touch HD General] Insaneboy:
Same.

As long as it plays the ringtones loud enough for me to hear them - i'm happy. :rolleyes:
[Touch HD General] ez2remember:
These comparisons are hard for some of us. The Touch HD has attracted many new users to WinMo. :p

How does it compare to Nokia phones such as the N95, N95 8GB etc.
[Touch HD General] tingsagwaan:
Soon.... soon it will be so :) And projectors too please!!!
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
Ha ha.. I don't blame you. Most of you may not be born yet when the battery size phone first emerged.;).

The electronic manufacturing industry is a tough and competitive one. The speed of a product becoming obsolete is frightening. A design flaw and pricing error can cause seriuos problem. The production line have to be changed all the time for new models. I have listened to a speech by the owner/ceo of the company which manufactures iPhone and have lots of respect for the continuous drives for efficiency, technology vision, and good judgement.

A sofa, table, and furniture can still sell 10 years 20 years later if there is no demand now. But an 2 MP camera that does not sell within a certain time frame is a junk that nobody wants. So, they cannot afford to charge too much and to overprice.

Sorry a little off topic. But just to make a point that HD is not really expensive. It is good value.
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
My first mobile made calls, received calls and featured a fantastic 1ish inch 'widescreen' mono (1 colour) lcd screen ;)
[Touch HD General] trentend:
I agree with that. The HD speaker is very good to alert me to incoming calls, and gives very good in-call volume. If I want to listen to quaity audio, I'l be putting in the headphones. The diamond has terrible volume in comparison. It's a bit of an issue, but not insurmountable. The HD, in my view, is more than fine.
[Touch HD General] Insaneboy:
Yeah my first's ultra mega new and awesome feature was receiving text messages. :D:D:D
[Touch HD General] trentend:
I remember when pda's first were able to accomodate a sim card, and take calls. This was new fangled nonsense that I was completely unwilling to trust. I carried an iPaq and a seperate phone for a number of years. It wasn't until tytn that I felt that the phone ability of the combined smartphones was good enough to dispense with a dedicated phone.

Edit....

actually the SE P900 was my first smartphone where I dispensed with my ipaq (which just became a dedicated satnav). Tytn was the first WM smartphone I trusted for phone calls.
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
I think this is the phone I had first, apparently it did do SMS but I don't think I ever sent any SMS on it, not sure I even knew what an SMS was either. It used to cost about 50p/min just for calls and I think cross network was even more!!!
[Touch HD General] onesolo:
Compared to the Touch Pro, this one has a lower sound from the speaker. But it all depends on the file. I tried some ring sounds, and they differ from each other in terms of loudness.

On the positive side, the internal speaker has great sound volume in comparison with the Touch Pro
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
I agree with EagleSteve. It is cheaper than what i paid for my Palm treo, my wizard and my trinity when they came out. Don't forget that usually phone companies bundle become cheaper with time, so if you want to be an early adopter you cannot profit from it. At the end, you should decide if you need ANY telephone that works or if you want to play on the edge of the wave. Said this, it is not even more expensive than the Iphone, and you'll have 1000X more fun...;)
[Touch HD General] indup:
hd isnt even in the same league.
[Touch HD General] onesolo:
Ok, after I few more hours of use I feel that altough the volume of the internal speaker is good, it could be better.

Can anyone edit the Audiopara.cvs (I think it's this the name of the file) to put a little more volume to the internal and external speaker??
[Touch HD General] petrica79:
great!

the sound on mine is great. so far the best on htc devices.
[Touch HD General] asaf_hermann:
Hi pzucchel!

I also have the wizard, can you please tell me if the HDs speaker is louder then the wizard while hearing mp3?

Thank You!
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
You expect things that do not even exist, do you know how audio works? How do you expect excellent audio quality from something tiny, made of almost solid metal and plastic (read: your phone's body)? The Nokia N96 is profiled even more as a multimedia device, and its sound quality is comparable (better, but not by much), and certainly the N96 is more expensive than the HD. Edit: and to top it off the HD sounds about twice as good as the Diamond, the speaker is better and has a little more headroom, so less overdrive on high volume, and more body in the sound (also because the acoustic mass of the HD is bigger). This is just my experience though.

On a more constructive note, it really matters a lot what surface you place the phone on, or even how you hold it. The back panel of the HD (and the n96 too) is plastic, which gives very poor acoustics. This can hardly be changed, unless you go the way of the Blackberry Bold, which has given the rear cover acoustic properties, and even that sounds tinny and crappy to my ears.
[Touch HD General] snootch:
I think the main question is:

When playing MP3 ringtones, does the internal speaker crack or pop on bass notes? or does it have a somewhat fuller sound than previous devices?

My Wizard plays ringtones just fine, but when I create them, I have to EQ out the bass, especially when using a hip hop/rap song. If I don't the ringtone sounds like complete trash coming out over the internal speaker. Of course if using the HD as a media player, most all people are going to listen using headphones, but will custom ringtones require editing to keep the internal speaker sounding clean?
[Touch HD General] mcano:
Sound of speaker is really terrible. It sounds like cheap small radio made in china 20 years ago bought on flee market.
[Touch HD General] lepsyfou:
loll

+1

it is true that given the price of touch hd they could have put the quality level speakers

but finally, there is never perfect pda on the market, :p
​
[Touch HD General] asaf_hermann:
so.. how is the speaker of the HD compared to the Vario? what is louder?
[Touch HD General] frank.alves:
Have you this cab 'Audio Booster' (version htc hd)?

I would like try.

:)

Thanks

P.S Sorry my poor english
[Touch HD General] Super777man:
it is integrated with your HD. No additional installation required. Take note that it will only work when you have your headphones connected.
[Touch HD General] derekcfoley:
Re the built in speakers on the Touch HD - its miles better than the HTC Touch Pro, and better than the xda Exec too, those are all I can compare them too. Bass is minimal but acceptable.
[Touch HD General] armatan:
The iPhone speaker 3G is actually the best: the quality is very good and sound very clear. Much better than HD and considering the cost, better quality should be expected.:mad:
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
HD 's speaker is BETTER than x1's
[OnePlus 10R / Ace] usbcdrom:
I'm from China, because I need to use google services, our mobile phones issued in China have removed this service, when I installed the GOOGLE service, it seems very unstable, so I need to flash the Chinese version system to the international version 10r system, in addition I ask my good friend to provide me with the download link of the system ROM image under 10r, thank you
[OnePlus 10R / Ace] James Doyle:
The two phones are so similar that you could try it.

But you also can try to flash your realme to the European version or the Indian version. It is obviously more safe.

I may also try to flash my oneplus ace/10r to the realme UI to test compatibility.
[OnePlus 10R / Ace] null0seven:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] little-endian:
Since I don't see that stated clearly and easily accessable, I'd like to share my insight that flashing the Indonesian variant of the firmware indeed changes the CSC to "XID", allowing native call recording with neither rooting nor fiddling with Samkey or other tools.

So far, it runs flawlessly, although it comes at the cost at some additional bloatware aiming at the Indonesian market with mostly can be uninstalled again though (with root access entirely, of course).

Compared to Dr. Ketan's ROM fix which requires root access beforehand and allows call recording independently of the used CSC, the XID one even in conjunction with "rooting anyway" and using his ROM has the advantage of having the call recording menu present in the native calling app which otherwise is missing, leading to an 'a bit nicer and properly integrated accessibility'.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] AMoosa:
Does Samsung pay work if you use this method?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] little-endian:
I cannot say for sure as I don't use it and also had rooted the phone before (not sure if it is now possible to have Samsung Pay running with Knox 0x1), however I can confirm that Samsung Pay is there by default and also Google Pay can be manually added through the Play Store.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v8088v:
Hi everyone.

Can somebody help me to solve the problem?

I'm on android 11 with magisk 24.3

I like it and I don't want to install android 12.

The system auto update is off.

I always swipe away the splash message when the system ask me to upgrade to android 12. But one week ago this message informed me that the update has already been downloaded (I don't know, how it was hidden downloaded) and will be installed after the reboot. But I do not need it and I don't want android 12.

Then I flashed android 11 to the both slots (slot_a & alot_b) without wiping (-w was deleted in all-flash.bat ).

After this I flashed a boot patched by magisk to the both slots.

And I solve my problem. I did the reboots a few times to check that I'm on android 11 and there are no splash message with asking to update.

But...

One week later I see the same splash message informed me that the update has already been downloaded and will be installed after the reboot.

So after the next reboot the android 12 will be installed.

And now I don't know what else I can do?

Why it is possible the hidden downloading of android 12?

Tell me how to do not install the android 12 after the next reboot of my Pixel 4 XL?

Thanks in advance.

@v8088v

In dev options you can opt out of automatic system updates. I know it works because I don't take/allow OTA's and never get prompts after toggling. Also make sure your device is not registered for beta or DP's. If you ever did register, you need to manually de-register.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v8088v:
thanks for your reply but the option "automatic system updates" In dev options was always disabled. And I've never been registered for beta or DP's.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SloPoke23:
I'm wondering if anyone has run into the S22 Ultra problem where the battery drains faster than it can be charged. I'm using Android Auto on my car's screen, so AA is active while I am driving and navigating. The S22U's screen is off. It doesn't matter if I am using wireless AA with a phone holder with built in 15W wireless charging, or wireless AA and the phone plugged into an AC fast charger, or wired AA with my phone plugged into my car's USB C port, the battery on the phone will actually drain faster than it can be charged. I did not have this problem with my S21U. With that phone, after a 3 or 4 hour drive, the battery would be at 100%. With the S22U, it would never reach 100%, but be at 75% or 80% at my destination. Is Android Auto that much of a battery hog on the S22U?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zoman7663:
Using my S22 Ultra U1 with wired AA always charges my phone to 100% long before reaching my destination. Using wireless is another story. Did you make sure your fast charging settings are on?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SloPoke23:
Yep, fast charging is on. And I'm using an AC charger that says "Super Fast Charging 2.0" when on my house current. Could be limited by the AC power plug in my car, but it should still charge faster than it drains I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Make sure the charger is good and it's power source as well. Use the correct Samsung cable, limit length to 3 feet.

If the device is drawing too much current the power controller will ramp down the charge current to protect the battery.

Some apps can run with the display off without skewing the charge curve if they don't draw too much current. High battery temperature can also cause this.

It could be a glitch or error in the firmware if the current draw is actually low. Or maybe it part of Samsung's new thermal paranoia. Sammy's just full of rude surprises lately...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
The car inverter could be interacting with the brick's switching power supply or the power controller.

Fast charging with disengage if the preset conditions aren't met and maintained.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SloPoke23:
Just checked AC charger in car and it say "Super Fast 2.0".
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SloPoke23:
Charger and cable should be OK. Next time I'm on a long drive I will check the power draw. I have a cable that tells me how many watts is being drawn.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Charging issues can be hard to troubleshoot.

In general these devices shouldn't be charged while in use. The most I'll do is sometimes listening with the Buds+ using Poweramp. The N10+ will tolerate this.

Google Services and such tend to use a fair amount of power as may the modem especially if switching between cell towers.

Once fast charging disengages it likely won't reengage unless the charging power is cycled.

So one high current usage spike is all it takes.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zoman7663:
Agreed, I've used 65 watt A/C chargers in the car outlet before and work pretty much the same as in the house. Strange that your phone is behaving this way. I have a 2021 Bronco Sport and the wired (usb-c) is plenty strong enough to charge the phone while on AA. The previous Subaru was questionable at times but usually pulled it off on my S21 Ultra. Any way you can check the charging voltage /amperage while using you phone in the car?

Can you please show which 65 AC charger you are using for car? Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] robi101012981:
The same it's for me, but I noticed that if I rotate the cable the phone will not drain anymore, I know that's weird, but this is the behaviour...Sometimes it's working, sometimes it's not... It depends also if I'm using Waze+Youtube, or only Waze
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
I've encountered this too. If I plug in a cable one way, charges slowly. If I flip the cable 180°, it charges normally. This also happened on my Note 10+ 5G, and I've seen it happen on my daughter's S22 and S10. I think it is a cable problem, because with some cables I have this issue, but not with other cables. Not all USB-C cables are created equal. Also not all car USB ports or chargers are created equal.

I normally use wireless charging and connect to my car via BT though. I have an iOttie wireless charger in my car and haven't run into this problem. I have it mounted so that an A/C vent blows on the phone to prevent overheating from sunlight. I use Waze and Samsung Music regularly.

I have purchased 3 Port 65W charger for s22 Ultra & its charge Super Fast but there is didn't mention anything about GaN, If it won't have GaN then does my charger is useless?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
I have a 2020 Honda CR-V and plug it in wired to the USB port and it charges fine. Doesn't drain or anything. I also have a Weather tech phone cup holder where the Cup is sitting about 8 inches in front of the charge port. So I got the shortest braided cable I could find for neatness which is 18 inches in length.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] coowkeee:
This should not happen unless there's a problem on your phone coz my phone always charges faster than drain and stays at 100% with power bank only(no fast charge), using navigation map and spotify.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Not a desirable configuration...

The higher the cell voltage and temperature, the faster an Li degrades.

Li's prefer frequent midrange power cycling as opposed to complete charge cycles or the worst staying at or near a full charge state.

If the display is on it's typical behavior for charging to ramp down even stop in order to protect the battery.

Ive been using the galaxy s8 for like 5 years, hated it. But ever since I got this new S21 I look back at the S8 with fondness because I was still able to root it despite it being bootloader locked and from a carrier.

It seems that times have changed and my research has led me to believe that this S21 FE is not rootable based on the following:

Its a carrier phone, G990U, build number has a 3 in it, no unlock oem setting in dev mode.

As of now is there no way to root this phone? I feel like I'm SOL but I just wanted to ask.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Dr.Lost:
No OEM option, no bootloader unlock, no bootloader unlock, no recovery, no recovery, no root.
