[Q] Can we use front earpiece as speaker like in this thread? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was seeing XDA news and found this thread, where the earpiece on the front of Note Edge can be used as secondary speaker for louder sound and a bit of surround effect... Can anyone mod this to make it work on note 2? Hope some thing can be done...

I think the speaker holes is only located there. The other parts are just for aesthetic purpose. I can tell that this is the same even on the HTC One as I had the device before I got the the z1 compact. Covering the right part of the speaker of the HTC One also stops the sound from coming out.

Loudspeaker Loudness?

So guys, how's the loudspeaker on this device? The voice loudness and clarity is good for call conference on loudspeaker?
Yep very loud and good speaker in the earpiece.
It gets pretty loud. Weird thing is the loudspeaker is right where the earpiece is, which helps so you don't have to turn your phone onto the glass to get the best sound from the back of it.
Seriously thinking about getting the JBL Moto mod for it.

Stereo speaker mod ?

I think I've seen this mod on sammys and well the iPhone 7 has it .. any chance of a future mod to come in a rom or a flashable zip to make the front ear piece speaker as a 2nd speaker making this phone have stereo speakers? Would be nice . My biggest gripe about the phone single speaker !!
Sometimes you just have to let go....
Good luck

Bottom speaker noticably louder than top speaker

I watch a lot of videos on YouTube of people reviewing things, and I noticed that voices sound louder and clearer through the bottom speaker, is this problem specific to my pixel 2 xl or do any of you have the same issue?

It is not specific to your phone.

Also the the top speaker is off when you receive a phone call( ringtone) and you will enable the speaker during a conversation. Why??

If I'm not mistaken, that goes back to before smartphones. Way back, there was a phone model that used the ear speaker for the ring and it was really loud. Actually rings in general used to be much louder than now, though there was a separate speaker for sound on most phones. There was some issue where people were trying to talk and having it ring right in their ear. I can't recall the exact issue, other than it was in the media.
So basically, they don't use the ear speaker for the ring so that people don't get a loud ring while they have their ear up to that speaker.

With my Nexus 6 this was not the case.. and I believe that it is very easy for a smartphone to understand and shift to the bottom one when you talk one the phone.
Well it isn't a legal requirement, just a design practice. Doesn't surprise me that a Chinese company would decide to do things differently. Proximity sensors weren't on phones until fairly recently.
It's weird as the quitet speaker on my device is the one below the navigation bar.

Question Bottom speaker louder than top speaker?

Hi everyone,
I tried a stereo speaker test (youtube) and I hear that the speaker on the bottom is always a bit louder than the one on the top, no matter what volume percentage I am on. It is not really noticeable in everyday use, but I am a bit paranoid if this is normal with the phone.
Could you tell me if this is also the case with your phones as well?
Thank you in advance.
Yes, it is normal on phones with stereo speakers.
That's cos the top one is an earpiece, not actually a speaker while the bottom one is a speaker, it has those little balls in the speaker housing too to boost audio. Checkout one of JerryRigEverything's teardowns if you've never seen that before.
Normal from my OnePlus experience.

Not only OnePlus. Had s10e before and had bottom speaker louder than the top one.
