The speaker already sounds pretty tinny when the volume is maxed out. I don't know if increasing the max volume would do much, but distort the sound even more. But a decent equalizer might make the speaker at least sound better. DSP Manager is not a market app, it needs to be flashed. And I've read posts that the flashable DSP Manager doesn't work on the Vision. You either have to flash a custom ROM that includes it, or possibly do some heavy tinkering to get DSP Manager to work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
Its not really a speaker to begin with.

ITS A RINGER!!!

Its purpose is to make a NOISE that you can identify as the PHONE RINGING. That is ALL.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Uh, no. Smartphones for years have had speakers designed for playing music and for use as a speakerphone. Even most dumbphones have a speaker for speakerphone use. Obviously the small size is not meant to replace larger speakers. But its decent to use for playing music. Just not as good as many other phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
when i use speaker phone they arent loud enough sometimes

when i use the phone normally to my ear the speaker isnt loud enough sometimes

any other questions?

not everyone is complaining about the "playing music" aspect.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
No, it isn't. Its a RINGER. NOTHING MORE.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
You think just saying something in caps magically makes it fact?

The phone is equipped with a speakerphone, therefore its a speaker. You're the only one here that thinks its a "ringer".

You can call it whatever you want. Doesn't change the fact that other phones have better sounding "ringers" including the past generation of similar HTC phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
What exactly is a ringer? Is this another term for a buzzer (like a piezoelectric or magnetic) that I'm not familiar with?

The last time I heard the term ringer as it applied to a design component was for the old mechanical bell ringers used in landline phones (a long time ago). And as far as I know, landline phones nowadays all use tone ringer circuitry connected to either a buzzer or a speaker. Also, buzzers cannot be used to produce music (they require a square wave to produce noise as opposed to the sine waves used by speakers).

I was also under the impression that all modern cell phones used a speaker (just with varying degrees of cost/quality of the speaker itself and the type of amplification circuitry used, if any at all).
[G2 and Desire Z General] microb0i:
For me, I'm complaining about the lack of volume when using the speakerphone in call. Music wise, it doesn't bother me, but phone call wise, it does.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gigamaster89:
The speakers on the Galaxy S phones are actually good for audio/video playback.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blunted09:
They have to do something good....
[G2 and Desire Z General] darkphoenix2012:
I too noticed that my G1 had a far better loudspeaker, in both quality and volume once rooted and using Audiohack. The G2 speaker at about 3/4ths volume starts to sound like the speaker is blown. I tried everything and nothing seems to help this.

Try calling 611 for tmobile and put it on loudspeaker, I can almost guarantee it will be just about useless at anything over half. It is noticeably worse for actual conversation as opposed to music, but even music is far worse than the previous androids I've owned.

Any word on a physical mod to improve this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] setspeed:
They do. Hardware components. AMOLED Screens, decent speakers, Gorilla glass, great chips/GPUs. They just can't program for ****. Nor can they design an original looking phone - er, hello iPhone 3G/Samsung Galaxy S. Even their latest Galaxy Cooper is a blatant copy of the iPhone 4.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Alex530:
Yes. Hardware wise you can't get anything better than a galaxy S. Software wise they suck:P If it wasn't for XDA they'd be worthless light bricks
[G2 and Desire Z General] bodymaker:
youre from another planet or what? just try out Xperia X2 speakers and youll understand...

and btw okawa...there is a reason why is the speaker located on the back
[G2 and Desire Z General] slapshot30:
(not referring to speakerphone or anything, just how he mentions headphones/earphones)

I suppose you could use audiophile headphones with a portable amp connected to the DZ. Something like a cheap Fiio E5. Although, I don't believe there is a line-out feature on our phones (like the proprietary dock on an iPod/iPhone). Therefore we would probably be double amping and the sound might get messed up... You can't simply dismiss the iPod as a quality media player though. The built in amp is very crappy, but when ued with a line out and a decent amp, it's great. Plus, any of the Cowon players don't have the games, apps, browser or anything the iPod does. I hate Apple just as much as the next person... but all the high quality portable music players (like Cowon) can't touch it because of all the extra features most people need. The iPod (not iPhone) is pretty good for all it does in the market for portable music players.
[G2 and Desire Z General] krankdroid:
When plugged in.. i have no complaints..

It is a bit low.. i need poweramp and use the EQ to boost the audio signal.

My last phone was a blackberry bold 9000.. the audio in that thing was loud and sounded great.. i could even hear bass. The Dz has the worst audio speaker i have ever heard.. still love the phone..

[G2 and Desire Z General] ngc604:
Its purpose is to ring and work as a speaker phone when it needs to be. There is also difference in manufactures. A long time ago Crown forklifts switched horn manufactures and had problem with the horns failing. After visiting a normal warehouse the rep from the horn manufacture said people used the horns too much. moral of the story is **** happens when you change manufactures. every company is looking for a better deal on everything.

for the people who really ***** remember it is a tiny speaker. if you want it to sound better when your listening and not moving around everywhere go to your moms kitchen cabinet and pull out a bowl that is just a little bigger then the phone and stick the phone in that bowl. BOOM instant amplification and not too bad of a sound. Remember it is not a 5.1 system. Yes the galaxy s speaker is loud as hell in cell phone terms but they also wanted it to be that loud and the galaxy s was kind of advertised to a younger crowd where the g2 for a little bit older crowd.

You guys *****ing are just like the guys in the audio forums who ***** about a $150 set of headphones sounding like **** when played off a cell phone. most cell phones were designed to produce basic sound. some designed to produce more then others. but still basic sound.

Now that i am done ranting i will tell you one of the best sounding options i have found. and its pretty cheep. go to target/walmart and pick up a pair of skull candy inkd headphone/headset.(they make both) and look online and find this little amp called a boost-a-roo. 3 headphone output all good sounding nicely amped. and listen in your ears. remember, most people around you dont want to hear your music nor your conversation with someone else. if your driving pull over or get a headset.

also, do you think htc was going to recall all the g2s they put out because the speaker wasn't that loud and they didn't want 50 people on xda to *****. there is a bottom line all businesses look at.

today i messsed my phone up, and now it well turn on and you see the m and then it goes off and it will also enter recovery sceen. i reflashed the spf and it still does not work. it will go to the motorola symbol and then flashes and then restarts it will not going to the little att animation or anything. please help
[Flipside General] marvin02:
If you are getting to the recovery screen have you tried a reset from there? Is it stock recovery?
[Flipside General] gongo2k1:
Seems like you messed up running my scripts. Power off your phone, remove your SD card, power back on, you should be okay.
[Flipside General] haydenis14:
yes it is the stock recovery and i removed my sd card and it is still doing it, i performed at least 10 data wipes and its still doing it
[Flipside General] gongo2k1:
Recovery isn't what you want, it won't do anything useful for this. Get to the bootloader (hold the up arrow while turning on the phone) then use RSD Lite or sbf_flash to flash with the stock SBF.

Relax, everything will be okay.
[Flipside General] haydenis14:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Knucklessg1:
Works in any Android ROM

This will teach you how to make a custom boot screen. (Usually replaces the default HTC quietly brilliant screen)

I HAVE NOW INCLUDED MY FIRST BOOTSCREEN. (It is katy perry wearing an elmo shirt) Download both items, and extract the one that says "EXTRACT THIS.rar" and make sure "Just download this.rar" is in the same file location. (I had to do this because the upload limit was 8mb and I had to split the file)

Then skip to Step 12

I sorted them into steps so you can easily follow what you must do.

1. Download "Root Explorer" from the Android Market. and allow SuperUser access

2. Open the application and go to system->customize->resource->and locate the file that says "bootanimation.zip"

3. on the top of the screen, there should read a toggle that says "Mount R/W". Click it, to where it says "Mount R/O". (Turns on the option to write to your Root)

4. Copy this file to your computer

5. Now put this aside for a while. Download the file attached to this post, extract it, and add it to your it to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Presets\Scripts

6. Get a .gif or .avi file and open it with Adobe Photoshop. (Make sure it is already edited and must have a frame size of 480X800)

7. Now in Photoshop, go to, File->Scripts->Export Layers to Files(Fast PNG)

8. Locate the file you downloaded earlier to your computer from your phone. Extract it and go into the "android" folder.

9. Go to wherever you saved the exported layers, and rename every frame with accordance the frames in the "android" folder. So it matches.

10. Put all the renamed frames in the "android" folder and delete the old ones.

11. Use WinRar to zip them up again. BUT DO NOT COMPRESS THE .ZIP FILE, OTHERWISE THE PHONE WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT.

12. Go back to your phone and locate the old "bootanimation.zip" and rename it to "bootanimation.bak".

13. Copy the the new "bootanimation.zip" into the same location and reboot phone.

14. Enjoy!!

Answer to 1. is here 2 and 3 are up to you.

class StringApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {

String str,str1,str2,str3;
int length;

str="CSE 201";

length=str.length();

str1="ABC";

str2="XYZ";

str3=str1.concat(str2);
}
}

[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
Awwwwww....... What the hell.....

Answers to 2 and 4:

class TestApp
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{

String phrase = "To be or not to be";
String anotherPhrase="not";
String longphrase;
String today ="Tuesday,January 18";
int commapos;

System.out.printf("a. %s is %d characters long.\n",phrase, phrase.length());
System.out.printf("b. %d\n",phrase.indexOf(anotherPhrase));
System.out.printf ("c. %s\n",phrase.substring(3, 12));
longphrase=phrase + ", that is the question.";
System.out.printf ("d. %s\n",longphrase);
System.out.printf("e. %d\n",phrase.indexOf("Alien"));
System.out.printf("f. %c\n",phrase.charAt(0));
System.out.printf("g. %c\n",phrase.charAt(phrase.length()-1));

commapos=today.indexOf(",");

System.out.printf("Today is %s. What a great %s!\n",today.substring(commapos+1),today.substring(0,commapos));
}
}

When run produces:-

a. To be or not to be is 18 characters long.
b. 9
c. be or not
d. To be or not to be, that is the question.
e. -1
f. T
g. e

Today is January 18. What a great Tuesday!

Question 3.

c. str.charAt(0); // str. missing

d. int n=str1.indexOf(str2); // dot missing between str1 and IndexOf()

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Then uninstall it??

Once you have rooted your phone you no longer need to keep it installed, its simply an app to root not to keep it rooted, unless im mistaken.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] agentaaron:
correct...once you use it you can uninstall it I would maybe keep a copy of the apk file on your sdcard just in case

I rooted my wifes vibrant using this app and once I was done rooting and flashing nero, the app was ininstalled/deleted after the flash was complete.

...I believe visionary+ shows up under whats using the battery on my MT4G as well (stock ROM still), but have never noticed a difference in battery drain.

I don't get the option for connection type when I connect my USB cable. I do have "ask me" checked under settings. I used to be able to connect every time - it just stopped working yesterday.

Under about phone > battery the battery status is shown as "charging (AC)" when I connect the usb cable.

I tested on another PC as well as another cable with no luck. I used a friend's HTC desire with my cable and pc and it connects, so not a pc or cable issue. My friend's battery status shows "charging (USB)" as it should.

Thanks for your replies to this old thread. Interestingly enough I have not yet rooted my phone - that was when I discovered I had no USB support!

Windows doesn't even make the "new USB device" sound when I plug the phone in.

I will give bigpeet666's suggestion a go and report back. I'm sure the phone did work normally when I first got it...

I should also mention I've got the HTC Desire S. I brought this off eBay and the seller did include the T-Mobile receipt. Would it be possible to get a replacement under warranty do you think? Obviously it's a different name on the receipt...?
[General Questions and Answers] jonjuk:
Just an update:

T-Mobile store were useless. They wouldn't help at all. Contacted the original eBay seller to ask them to try and transfer the phone into my name but T-Mobile wouldn't comply!

Out of desperation (after experiencing their awful e-mail support) I gave HTC a call on their Global Warranty Service hotline: (+44 1279 206906)

The service was outstanding. Asked a few questions, didn't patronise me and they spoke English I could understand!! Less than 10 minutes on the phone to them and he'd already booked UPS to come and collect the phone to be repaired this Monday from 1pm (from my work address too).

T-Mobile: USELESS
