If you are using a custom kernel try switching back to the stock kernel for awhile and see if it goes away. I've noticed some songs with heavy bass lines will distort when using a kernel with the audio level tweaked.
I almost broke a pair of hundred dollar blue tooth headphones because I thought they were busted only to find out it sounded the same on a pair of regular headphone that I knew were good

If u have insurance on ur phone u can take it to Sprint and they will replace it free. Even if ur rooted. Also if u don't have insurance its 35 bucks
Ignorance is bliss but servitude is its partner

Be careful having your phone around any kind of metal machining/grinding work. The magnet in the speaker will attract any metal dust/particles nearby and the holes in the battery cover and mesh over the speaker opening are too big to stop the smaller stuff. I'm on my third back speaker because of this. Luckily they're easy to change and the place I ordered from sells a minimum quantity of 5 per order.

Pretty sure it was a sarcastic joke. If both your phone and your friends phone sound bad, more than likely it isn't a physical problem with the speaker, and if you aren't running the exact same custom kernel, that probably isn't the issue either.
If they speaker never sounded good to you, it is simply that you are just noticing that the 1/2" cell phone speaker sounds like a dog turd, which is sadly to be expected.
The EVO speaker is one of the best phone speakers I have ever heard, most are smaller and even more tinny sounding.

Went to sprint about my speakers and they are giving Me a new one for free......

[Q] Playing guitar and having the Gnex?

I play guitar, and also recently jumped to a Gnex. I'm just curious, has anyone else found that your calices make it hard to use (like the touchscreen is uncomfortable)? This doesn't really matter, I'm just kinda curious.
Edit - Yes, I realize how strange a question this is.

i also play, but my thumbs are not callused so it doesnt affect me all that often. sometimes when i pinch to zoom using my left hand i have to either press a little harder, or change the angle of my hand to use the fleshier part of my index finger...but my guess is this is with most touch screens

I figured this wasn't a question even worthy of Q&A so I put it here... But, yeah, I've only found this to happen on my Gnex. Odd.

Maybe a screen protector?

DUDE I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY ME

My dad works for construction and his hands are completely callised and his hands don't work on my gnex or my moms iPhone or my sisters one x! Curse of being a man I guess.

my fingertipps are completely screwed up from guitar and ukulele, but it feels great when you swipe, its more buttery that way. normal fingers can get stuck sometimes, at least if they're not the total dry sort.

There is a guitarist thread in android off topic in the main forum .
I don't see how you have issue I always use my guitar pick hand not the fret hand. The fret hand is where all the roughness is. Unless you play flamenco.

I do know i have built up a fair amount of calus on my right hand due to a certain thing we guys tend to do and it hasn't harmed my phone skills at all. However my vision is failing.:silly:

Wow! Glad it wasn't just me! I decided to get a simple Verizon screen protector... it did help a little.

My God reading this thread is like being in a universe where no one knows how to spell calloused properly. D:
Anyway my right thumb is pretty calloused from opening my knife a lot so it has become less sensitive on the screen. I have learned to rotate my thumb to use the non-calloused part to use it though.

I normally use my picking hand on my phone, not my fretting hand. But trying it the other way around isn't more difficult to me at least.

Replacement screen issue

Hi all.
My wife has a note 2 and the screen got cracked (not the digitiser) Not insured and I wasn't about to pay £289 cheeky gits lol.
I got a replacement screen and followed a youtube tutorial on how to replace.
I got the glass off fine and have put the screen on but keep getting an air bubble appear. I've tried different adhesives and still the same... Has anyone else come across this or is anyone able to shed some light on a solution.
Thanks for your time.
And yes I made it kind of hybrid with a black home button... Completely by mistake ha ha (when ordering make sure you get the right colour... Duh)
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium

Yes, there's a solution. Spend millions on a specially designed cleanroom and laminating equipment.
If you can't manage that, your choice are:
a) Live with the bubble
b) Spend the $289 for a proper sealed unit
Sorry dude.

Thanks for the sarcasm... That really helped.
For anyone that might be interested. I found the solution.
The sides require more clearance. So I put more tape on the sides and that has got it sorted.
Easy after all that messing!

How is the quality? Is viewing experience same or are there changes on colors/brightness etc.?

you can try special UV glue for phone digitizers you can find it on ebay. but than you also need strong UV lamp. check some youtube video =)

From what I can tell in comparison to my s4 the quality is very good hardly noticeable... Very happy

Mine is the same. By same, I mean EXACTLY the same, with the exact same holes blocked and unblocked. I'm not concerned though. it still sound fine. Maybe this is normal?

Yeah I never remembered it I've owned 3 M 7 over the past year and never saw that before. I may still exchange it because I notice there's some lag and my bottom buttons aren't very responsive

The speaker is only under a part of the cover.
Check the ifixit tear down.
The other "unblocked" holes are the mic {on bottom) and notification led (on top}.

Well this is because it's NOT a defect, it's made that way, speaker is only under the left side of the grill, on right are other components underneath, so it looks blocked, it's not. :fingers-crossed:

For sure. The speakers are only half the length of the grill, if that. Hah nvm pics have been posted

Yeah thanks guys...yeah even on a video review said those holes are just there to make the speaker openings symmetrical looking...

Thanks for this thread. I had visited my local Verizon store this weekend and asked them about the "blocked" speaker holes and of course they had no clue. But their demo looked just like mine, and just like all the pics posted here. This saved me a call to cust service (which probably would have gone nowhere anyways, lol).

yes it can, I got it for $10 on kickstarter...but I think it's ~$25ish now, pricey but works pretty well.

Cool
These things are pretty dang cool. However $25 seems like a bit much for this. You got a good deal by backing it!

Meh
I dunno. Yeah it looks cool. But I use my headphone jack alot for, you know, headphones. So half the time I'd have this tiny little thing that I'd have to put in my pocket or my sock or something and try real hard not to loose it, but I'd eventually loose it anyway, because it's so small. And it's $25.

It has a little headphone holder, holds the Pressy and your headphones! It's a neat little gadget, I use my Studio Wireless headphones though. So that's a non-issue for me.
