anyone else with similar issues?
the HD2 had AWESOME sound, and this phone has a ****ty speaker. this is a BIG NO NO for me as it will lead me to stray from this HD7
sound fix
go into the htc hub and download the sund enhancer app..the settings will definitely improve the sound
Even with sound enhancer it sounds like crap. I'm trying to give my hd7 back to handler.

+1. Calling it crap is ridiculous. It's just too damn quiet. The headphones that come with the HD7 are excellent though. I wish there was a way to make the speakers louder too though...
I wouldn't be suprised if the speakers are exactly the same as the ones in the hd2.
Seems for somethings they are loud and decent, and for others you can barely hear.
It would be nice if they would make the sound volume consistent across the phone.
Must agree that the phone speakers are rubbish, but i guess HTC and MS want us to use headphones with it like apple,
as you know they seem to have copied the best of both apple and android with this device

My iPhone and iPad speakers are loud enough to share a video or game with others. With the HD7 it's embarrasing sharing a video when you can barely hear it yourself and that's with the vol at max and hand cupped around the back trying to amplify the sound.
The quality is indeed crappy BUT has anyone noticed that there just a few days ago there was a Sound Enhancer update? I did it and it sounds slightly louder when it comes to notifications. I am not a fan on playing music/video through speaker and I use my Sennheiser headphones when it comes to listening. And boy turning SRS on it sounds like my legendary N91 ! And that was one of the musts for me.
But, indeed, it would have been cool to have a decent speaker.
i returned the HD7 because of the crappy speaker. gonna wait for another WP7 release with a louder speaker
Yes, poor it is.
When I put it into the pocket, I always let the camera side face outside, bcz the speaker is next to the camera, otherwise can bearly hear the incoming calls.

This is so NOT cool.
People are idiots because they expect their expensive devices to function the way they've been advertised to function?
Really?!
I don't think this is even a case of expecting everything for nothing. There are standards and these companies that want our hard-earned money need to adhere to them instead of spending millions of dollars on misleading AD campaigns; telling everyone that their devices are the best thing since sliced bread, but are too greedy to do any real QA on them because time to market is short and besides, they're really only concerned about the bottom-line.
Quality loudspeakers on a cellphone is one of the least things you should expect from a phone these days. Every smart AND dumb phone out there has a speakerphone. Its not rocket science.
For crying out loud, these jokers even designed to phone in such a way as to EMPHASIZE the speaker grilles on the top and bottom of the phone.
And yet the sound is obviously tinny and pathetic.
And by the way, downloading software tweaks to make your phone work the way its supposed to work right out of the box doesn't make you smart...it makes you the guy who paid HTC for the privilege of doing their work for them.
Congratulations!
Speakerphone on this phone is just plain embarrassing.
My g/f has the LG Optimus 7 and when is on a call on full volume and NOT on speakerphone it's actually louder than me ON speakerphone.
Now how bad is that?

So, the Xperia Z was officially launched at a PR event in Dubai yesterday, and the price seems okay too (2499 AED, ~680 USD). I've seen concerns about the screen quality but will check that out myself when its out in stores (March). Can anyone who has the Z comment on the sound quality on the device ?
There is already a thread in Q&A.
What kind of sound quality are you talking about? Audio playback?
I'm concerned by the volume of the earpiece, and how loudly and clearly you can hear people during a phone call. In other words, what the X10 sucked ass at.
If you are concerned about audio check out the HTC One.
Stereo Front speakers, amps, amazing all around.
I've just received my phone from japan and the volume of the phone whilst playing youtube videos or music is appalling. It's hardly audible even at the highest setting. If you're wanting a phone with good speakers this is not the phone, you'll be highly disappointed. Other than the sound everything else on the phone is perfect. Great build quality etc. let me know if you want pictures or to know more about the phone id be happy to post
ya, I heard the speakers are compromised because of water proof. Guess I still got an option for head set which is what I use for my current phone.

Hardly audible? I wonder what you have done with my ears
It's not as loud as some other phones but it's still more than adequate. It's enough to wake me up in the morning (quite easily even) and the best thing is that it doesn't sound distorted even at the highest volume.

I may have over exaggerated with my statement xD. But to be honest it's loud speaker whilst playing music is poorer than an a Lg Optimus L3, I was forced to use the optimus L3 whilst waiting for my xperia z lol so I know full well what it sounds like it. Sound via the headphone jack is fine just the loud speaker sucks it would have problems waking me up but their is always vibration so it doesn't really bother me.

if you have a iphone 5 and use the life proof case from fre that is pretty much the sound quality of the Xperia Z maybe slightly less Don't let that one feature prevent you from buying this fantastic phone it truly is amazing. And that's my honest opinion of the device ;D i'll upload a video for you guys of the sound quality
as I said guys here is the video of the phone sound volume via the loud speaker. If you guys have any requests on how I should record the phone please let me know this was recorded by a galaxy tab 10.1. It's actually not that bad as I previously mentioned please enjoy if you want me to play any other song let me know. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9V9UysM0hI&feature=youtu.be

Howdy, what is the in-call volume like with the earpeice? Loudspeaker is not a major issue for me, but in call volume must be good. My One X now is really quite bad in this regard.

In call volumes are fantastic can't complain very loud and clear, had no issues with people not being able to hear me. if you know of any way I can test I wouldn't mind making a video for you ;] but trust me when I say it's good even when taking public transport people on the other end of the call could still hear me very clear without issues. I highly recommend this phone much better than the lg optimus g or galaxy s3 I previously owned. I aint just saying it because I own the sony xperia z haha just my honest opinion.
That's great news thanks no idea how you would do a video lol but if you say it's good then I'm happy.

Easily. It's a little less loud than most other phones but it's still loud. It's not exactly inaudible.
I can say the sound quality with ClearAudio+ is nice but it there is not the best. I have my Note 2 optimized with Neak Kernel and his tweaks (Wolfson) are great.. The equalizer from XZ but the hammer looks great and can be adjusted some. Moreover, the unit is still fresh with the time kernel and various mods and custom roms come naturally (I also gets to cook too for XZ)
I don't want to crash the party but the speaker is just lame, it's positioned at the right side bottom of the phone which means that when you hold the phone you will cover the speaker (left hand with your fingers, holding it with right hand isn't an option because the speaker is in the palm of your hand) The speaker is tiny and totally not loud, and when watching a video you can hear the sound come out of the right corner instead from the phone, it's very directional, i am very disappointed about this.
Also sound through headphones is not as good as i would have liked and certainly not as full sounding as with S3.

I agree, it's not the best. But seriously mate, S3 has terrible sound...bad comparison.
I've been really satisfied with the overall performance and feel of the Nexus 5. The only problem I have with the device is the anemic speaker quality. I feel like I get more vibration from the phone than I actually get sound out of the device.
Its not a deal breaker for me (I'd rather have a reference device than speakers on the front that sound good like the HTC One) but it is a concern. Not sure if I'll be able to even hear it ring in louder environments.
I think the speaker is like 1000x better than the Nexus 4 speaker.
I don't like the placement of the speaker. I keep putting my thumb over it cause of the way I hold my phone.

I agree. Speakers suck in this phone. However that is only if you turn the volume all the way up. If you leave it at 80% sound is clear. Not too loud though....

Its reasons like this that almost anything you read has to be taken with a grain of salt, some say the speaker is loud, others say its barely audible. I mean come on, how can anyone make an informed decision when every detail of the phone gets praises and boos at the same time.

The embargo is gone, but still no good comparisons..
I really enjoy audio from the boomsound speakers on my M8 and because of that I really hope the speakers on the N6 are good/excellent.. Maybe a person with both phones can help..
The main reason I'm very close to buying the N6 is because of the extremely good development..
All answers are really appreciated! ?
I think the Android Central review touches on this. Phil says it isn't as good as boomsound but better than the typical phone speakers. Here's the small section of the review that addresses the speakers.
"The Nexus 6 does, however, have front-facing stereo speakers, a feature Motorola added earlier this year in its mid-range Moto G. And they're actually quite good. Not quite as deep or responsive as the HTC One M8, but they're darn close. And if you've never experienced proper front-facing speakers on a smartphone before, they'll drastically change the way you use your device."
I've never used a M8 so I can't really comment on it's speakers, but I know they're considered the best. I can say that I started watching a movie on my N6 last night and it was the first time I haven't reached for the headphones while watching a movie on a phone. The speakers are clear and LOUD. I've had roughly 10 different smartphones over the years and nothing even comes close to the sound on the N6.

I'm really close to ordering this phone/phablet.. The only thing I'm gonna miss is the extremely awesome audio from my M8.. But if it's close to it plus the awesome developer support then there's nothing holding me any longer ?
Thanks for the reply.. ☺
I don't own an M8 so I also can't do a perfect comparison. However, I must say I am blown away with these speakers. It's the first thing I show off to anyone when they ask about the phone. I have listened to many music videos on full volume without issues. Also enjoyed Transformers the entire way through...something I would have never done with my Nexus 5 or wife's iphone 6+

M8 sound is much clearer and less tinny than the N6. With that being said, the n6 is better than anything else out there. It's louder than the m8, but the m8 has clearer, better sound.

i had the M8 (and now have the N6) and, in my opinion, M8 boomsound produces higher-quality sound (clearer). not only for music, but for the basic tones that i use for email, text messages, etc. the same tones on the N6 sound distorted and tinny; ended up switching to other tones that sounded better on the N6. conversely, YouTube and WatchESPN videos (e.g., college football games) sounded good with little to no distortion. (that was surprising to me.) i also believe that in-call quality (loudness and clarity) is better on the M8. to my ears, N6 in-call sound is noticeably lower compared to the M8. (this of course is a subjective opinion ). wish i knew how to adjust sound output/values in the mixer_path.xml file. i also use V4A, but only when listening to music with in-ear headphones. definitely makes music i listen to sound better at lower volumes. hope this feedback is helpful to the OP (and others).

All feedback is is extremely useful! Your feedback is less positive, but my decision is made.. I need the development that comes with a nexus and it's still dual speakers ☺
I think the speakers are very good, but not quite as good as the HTC M8. The last 2 steps at the top of the volume slider produce a weird piercing noise that hurts my ears. I'm thinking it might be an issue in the software or driver. Other than that, I'm extremely happy with the speakers.

I had a M8 a few months ago, and agree 100% with what you said. Boomsound is much better than the N6's speakers. I played around with Viper on my M8, but thought it sounded better stock through the speakers on that phone. I'm trying to experiment with Viper on the N6 now in hopes that I can get it to a Boomsound quality level.
Viper didn't really help much. Speakers sound a little better, but it still doesn't come close to the boomsound on the M8.
I have tested against the nexus 9 which had boomsound, and I find the nexus 6 speakers to be louder and overall more enjoyable. Thev nexus 9 speakers with boom sound are a disappointment and don't deliver imo, I was surprised by the speakers on the Nexus 6.
With that being said I have vbarely used my headphones with the Nexus 6 and that is one of the first things i show off along side the screen.
Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the HTC U11's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The speakerphone is total garbage its absolutely awful if you ask me!

Not sure what you are talking about, there might exist phones where it's even better, but I actually find it extremely loud and clear! Way better than how I remember the M8 to be when it was new (my speakers somehow degraded over time). And, more importantly, people on the other side hear me very well too, with the M8 they were complaining the whole time when I was using the speakerphone.

Which mode is that, coz my HTC 10 loud speaker wasn't as loud as my HTC One m9
Today I took a shower and during that shower I realized I feel like listening to some music. so use the magic words and I spoke to my phone I said to him ok Google Play Coldplay music in Spotify.
Then the volume was too low, so I spoke to magic words again and ask my phone to increase the volume it worked out just fine.
Awesome!!!

Not sure what you are talking about, there might exist phones where it's even better, but I actually find it extremely loud and clear! Way better than how I remember the M8 to be when it was new (my speakers somehow degraded over time). And, more importantly, people on the other side hear me very well too, with the M8 they were complaining the whole time when I was using the speakerphone.

Your speakers may or may have not degraded.
The speakers from my M9 were very quiet at some point and the sound sounded like it was cracking.
The problem was that dust got in the grille.
So i just took a toothbrush (dont forget to dry it before using it) and took out the dust.
You have to swipe towards the screen to get the dust out.
One of those small brushes used to clean hair trimmers is good too.
I first saw it here and it actually worked:

I'm very happy with the speaker. I compare it to my older S6 and my temp OnePlus 5 and the sound coming from the U11 is much richer and warmer. It might not be as loud as the OP5 but the definition is much better where the OP5 sounds louder but very thin and high pitched.
Can someone tell me about the quality of ear piece ? Is it loud enough for hearing the caller from other side in noisy environment ?
Well the quality is amazing but the volume is extremely low unless you crank it to 100...but if you combine it with Viper4Android just use the "eXtra Loud" option set to extreme and Max Gain 4x and max output to 0dB... then half volume is now loud and the quality is still there
Coming from the iPhone 8 the volume is very low and distinct lack of bass.
Quite disappointed to the point I thought my unit was defective.
Hi,
for me,my M8 sounds better then my new U11.
