I just noticed that from the bottom speakers, only the right one fires while the left one seems dead or at least very quiet. Just up to a point, where I am suspicious if the left cut holes are only for the sake of a uniform design with no real speaker behind them.
What is your device like?
Left one is not speaker.

It's actually the microphone.
Google's official diagram of the device shows that it is the bottom microphone.

The bottom of the screen where it meets the speaker's aluminium panel is flush with the aluminium.
The top is not.
It's barely noticeable unless you rub your fingers over the top of the glass.
.1 of a mm or so but it's not flush like the bottom is.
How 'bout your phone?

No, he isn't.
Mine has it too - glass is raised at the top so it's not flush where the top speaker grill meets the screen on mine. Went to a couple stores and the ones I saw had this too - sometimes in the same place, sometimes not.
Perhaps it's a manufacturing limitation

i think its the overhang thing
do u mean , the glass is higher than the speaker grille?
Is it the screen that is not flush, or is it that the speaker grille is fitted too low at the top? Which is to say, is the screen flush all the way along the sides of the device?
edit: shiningarmor beat me to it
The overhang on the unibody is a problem I think some people are having but not with mine. I think that's a separate issue but don't quote me on that..
If The Op has what I have then basically the issue is if you feel along the line where the speaker plates (either the top one, the bottom one, or both if you're REALLY unlucky) meet the glass you cann feel the glass is raised (on mine it's the top right corner) to the extent that you can basically feel the edge of the glass. I've seen this on some store models - sometimes it's like this and sometimes it's the exact opposite - I.e. the glass feels like its set too low and the speaker grill can be felt when you slide your finger from screen to grill.
So yeh basically issues with how flush the glass and metal are when they meet. This seems to only (from what I've seen) occur at the speaker grills, all seems fine on the sides of the phone

I have 2 theories:
1)Maybe because of the pyramid stacking of screen-battery-pcb?
Do you have a problem if you dismantle your device?
Aha, someone already did it:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+Teardown/13494/1
2)Or could it be that the top speaker grill is not flush with the glass?
What do you guys think?

Then the screen isn't misaligned - the speaker grille is, surely? And, if so, it IS the same problem as the overhang thing, just on a different axis. And likely, this is the same cause of the "tiny gap" - misaligned/poorly fitted speaker-grille.
Of course, it doesn't matter to you because you have a flawed device, but for the rest of us, it is interesting to note that all reported build issues could be traced back to that single point of error.

Yeah you might be right I guess, with the overhang thing though I think some people were describing a phenomena on the side of the handset concerning the bits of plastic - maybe I'm just confused lol!
I'm sending my phone back anyway because I have a screwed up vibrate motor but I'm also for obvious reasons happy at maybe getting another 'shot' at a handset that has a better placed speaker plate/flusher phone.
None of this has dented my enthusiasm though for the One. Wonderful handset.

Your choice. The screen is 0.1mm higher than the grille. The grille is 0.1mm lower than the screen.

I got same on my handset. No gaps or anything else wrong with it.
In order to make sure I get a problem free handset I would need to wait until next month for new batch but phones4u only give me 28 days to swap in store.

I've also got this fault. Doesn't bother me as long as the exposed corners don't shard.
This is with the HT33J batch. Would be interested to see a poll of owners that do/don't have this issue with the batch #.t

Once you see it
The same here top and bottom but other wise perfect - probably gonna keep the phone as not to bothered.
I personally think that this is caused by speaker covers not being placed properly
Batch - FA335W
Wooowww people are ocd to the extreme on these forums. I have this ''issue'' as well. Not using it now, a deal breaker for me -__-

My screen sits lower than the speakers, then once screen protector is on it's all flush. Maybe it's for that reason.

Simple enough question. Several sites say it does (see for example this) while several other sites say it doesn't (e.g. this). Why the conflicting information?

Under the grid at the bottom there is 1 speaker. You hear sound from right side because it's made like that.

I would assume that's to do with the positioning of the microphone. It's like the iPhone 4 and 4s, two 'speakers' at the bottom but one was really a mic.

No not at all, I noticed a while ago that if you cover the left hand side of the speaker it affects the sound, covering the right side doesn't. So it could well be there is a microphone under the mesh, one sides a speaker, one sides a mic.
Or it could be my speaker is buggered like the OP.
http://userguide.sonymobile.com/ref...ria-z1#!Phone-overview---C6902C6903C6906.html
so it seems big grid is for design and also protection of both speaker and mic.

Hey guys,
Just bought the Moto G 2014, and I'm loving it.
I was curious to know about the location of microphone of the phone. I see a hole at the top of the phone, that's the secondary mic, I don't see the primary one. Just out of curiosity, I think this phone possesses two microphones.

hello guys. i disassembled my moto g xt1068 cause on my moto g whether the speaker neither the microphone works. i just see 2 speakers. where exactly is the microphone. or is the speaker at the bottom acting at the same time as a microphone? i found a teardown at IFIXIT of a moto g 2014. i cant see anything that looks like a microphone.

Just looked at the iFixit teardown and the microphone is a small silver rectangle, there are two, one at the top and one at the bottom, the microphone is just to the left of the USB port on this picture https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/tEKiSY13HxpZMrF4 and just to the right of the headphone jack in this picture https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/JYApv2XLW6UkJ3nK you can also see a small hole to let the sound in for the bottom microphone in the 2nd picture.
Hope that helps.

I disabled the audiowizard thing and also applied the mono audio in accessibility settings. But still the top speaker sounds way more than the bottom one but according to some previous post in this forum way back in time, it should be other way around i.e. bottom should be louded than the top one. Is there any fix for this?
it depends on the format of music youre playing...usually left and right are never equal...sometimes even far from each other...

Tried it.. still no use. Sounds same. Bottom is tiny than top
if you're reffering to the speaker near the 3.5 mm audio jack as the bottom one, and that it's quiet... that's high probability for a hardware defect. i would try doing factory reset. if that doesn't work, you should return the phone.
Hi,
There are two speaker grills in the bottom of the device. Do they both works or only the right one works and the left one dummy ?
For my device right one is working, is it natural or my device is faulty ?

That makes sense. Guess we do need a mic somewhere down there.
Ok, next question. @Lughnasadh
There is a tiny pin prick hole on the top left hand side edge -- as you look at the phone. What is that hole for then? I thought that might have been the input mic.

If I'm thinking of the hole you are describing, that's a microphone. There are 3 microphones. A top one, a bottom one and a rear-facing one.

The one you are describing might have to do with noise cancellation, but I'm not sure. Just a guess. The rear-facing one may have to do with video audio.
