anyone else disappointed with the speakers that comes in the note 3?
it's really pissing me off at this point. was really thinking of rooting and doing a sound mod, but it doesn't seem as if the speakers can take it any push without being over saturated and sounding distorted.
They sound fine ... at least they are louder than my S4.

Out the box it sounded good. After rooting and applying ViPER, it's even better.

Note 3 Audio is not as loud as my note 2 but hopefully with sound MOD it would do a little better. Just wish it had dual speaker. Wonder why they choose not to do that.

Good to know. Im looking to get this phone and if the sound better than the s4 then its good enough for me.

Mine sounds OK though volume level is a bit lower than Note 2, but you should get louder sound if you lay the unit flat on hard surface (table). Usually the sound from Note 2 is blocked but Note 3 is not affected (the way it sounds through the edge like Galaxy Tab/Note 7 or 8, or iPhone 5).
Nope. I'm pretty impressed after coming from 4 HTC phones* in a row.
*none of them were the ONE, which I've never heard.

Mines pretty loud, louder than my G2 was and I actually turned the master level down a notch. I only ever play games with the speaker and vines maybe a Youtube video, otherwise its plugged into the stereo in the car.

Wow that's good then, I think my S4 has a loud enough speaker for me. Anything below that and I would be dissatisfied.

Just got my note 3 and it's the same as the s4. Maybe slightly lower but I can't really tell much. I definitely can tell its way louder than my g2.

How does the speakers hold up to the volume boost?
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
The thing is I'm coming from a note 2 and I use a volume mod and it makes it pretty damn loud.....but the speakers in the note 3 just doesn't seem like they can't stand if volume boost.
I haven't rooted yet seeing that no one has figured out that Knox warranty issue yet.
But so far the speakers are so low the alarm can't even wake me up...

Same thing here. The earphone volume is low as well. I am on aosp rom though.

I have both this and a Sprint Galaxy S2 with the same Exynos/Mali is the international, and they seem fairly comparable.
I haven't noticed a big speed difference anywhere in day-to-day use in the few days that I've had both.

I'm pretty sure all Galaxy S2 use the inferior Yamaha DAC. You'll have to go another manufacturer or last-gen to get Wolfson as far as I know.
I can't check for you on stock on language, but my Hercules running Juggernaut has Korean as a language option.

Beats Audio is nothing more than a marketing gimmick. There is nothing better about the audio hardware in the phones that have Beats compared to those that don't. All that Beats is doing is putting an EQ curve in place that emphasizes the low end, giving you more bass. Odds are it is distorting the music rather than enhancing it.

This. Beats in phones is not like it is in things such as laptops, where hardware has also been enhanced.
Volume+ has a beats emulator.

There was a test on a other Website some time ago, showing Beats Audio for Mobilephones - e.g. HTC Sensation - does nothing...only EQ settings...so DSP Manager works well too.
you can flash glados kernel
and use franco kernel app or glados control app
then goto sound settings
you can imrove sound performance
then buy poweramp & ENJOY !
So next week I'm going on a road trip and don't want to have to worry about my battery life.... So what Is the best kernel to use on my Verizon Nexus?
And I'm not an android noob, but I am a complete noob to ov/uv(ing) the kernel..... what Is recommended?
I right now am using Xenon HD and Franco kernel nightly 361
Also my processor governor is set to interactive
I want to use Spotify and access my phone to play random games.
thanks so much in advance!

Haha dude I dont see why wouldnt you look cool with your Gnex. When I was out the other day wih a friend and some chicks and friend with iPhone 5, guess what phone impressed the girls? All of them got 4 or 4S and when I put out my Gnex, they were so impressed by it, even only by design and size of screen. My sister said that she doesnt like iphone 5 because it looks like her tv remote.
You cant do anything much to get much battery life since our phone has much bigger screen. If you want to play games while on trip, get your batteries ready. For myself, one battery cycle is enough since I listen only to music so I can get 10 hours.
If you are running Franco (Which you said you were) open up the Franco app, go into Power Modes, load up the Presets and use the BeastlyBattery, also make sure you turn off Auto Sync and turn your screen brightness to the lowest setting that you can handle. All of those will get you better battery life than playing with voltages all day.
Uv wont help too.

Some people say that there's more power in the s4 so that's why they're heading to the s4. Others are going for the smaller size cause they can't handle the note. And others have bought into the special features

My Choice
My Epic 4G died a few days ago and I had an upgrade. I chose the Note 2 over the S4. Battery life, bigger screen (to make up for the loss of my keyboard) and SPen plus other things that I cant put into words sold me. I used both side by side and just loved the Note2. When we get 4.2.2 I think that will make the note 2 even more awesome...IMHO. Now I have TWRP on it and trying out ROMs...Loving the Note 2. :good:

I don't think the megapixels have much to do with low light as the quality of the sensor itself and f.stop and aperture. I'd much rather a lower MP with better sensor and F.stop than all the megapixels in the world.
But i get your point nonetheless.

I've had my note for almost 2 months now and in that time, I haven't seen anyone mention this issue before. Sounds like you had a dud. The TF101 was actually my first tablet. Loved it, but it was eventually time to move on. I upgraded to the TF300T and had two of those tablets burn up on me. Asus makes a good product, but seems to have alot of quality control issues, also with the transformer prime nightmare. So i jumped ship to the Samsung and got the Note 10.1. That was a great tablet until it was stolen :crying: So I moved on to the Note 8 for better portability and love it.
Glad to hear no issues. Let's hope it was a dud. Thanks for the reassurance.
