well, i almost have my note II for a year and a half now. and i started making more phone calls recently. at first people could hear me crystal clear. until there was an official rom update. after that time the microphone gain was low in conversations and recordings using voice recorder. now i have to hold my phone in my mouth while screaming for people to understand me. is there a way to adjust the gain on the microphone? it is not a hardware problem i think, cause when i scratch the phone it is extremely loud. but as soon as the sound source is more than a couple of centimeters or an inch, away. the volume drops to almost zero. i have noise suppression disabled.
allrighty then! fixed it, there was some oily residue stuck in my microphone hole, i thought it was the membrane of the mic. well, after I poked a needle in it, people can hear me again. hope this solution helps you all!
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 OnePlus 3T'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!
Average. I find it lacking in vehicle at speed. I would think that in the year 2016 (almost 2017) that high volume would be an option on all devices
Same like iPhone , I got iPhone 6s plus and sound the same but one plus 3 you can go further +20 % but it will distort the sound , if you wish to sound like iPhone 6s plus go on oneplus 3t to 80-85% and it will be equal .
Anyone knows how does it compares with LG G5 speaker?

My speaker can go very very loud. I was surprised since I come from a phone with dual front-facing speakers (MotoG2) and expected the sound on the 3T to be quieter with the bottom facing solo speaker.
Anyone used a Oneplus 2 and can compare the speaker with that? I found the speaker on oneplus 2 fairly low. Thanks
IMO the oneplus 2 was louder
Didn't use the OP2 but I did put the OPO side by side to both the original 3 and the 3T and the 3/3T were appreciably louder and without distortion (the two's speakers were identical).
I cannot possibly imagine wanting it to be any louder than that.
Clarity and audio fidelity, it's ok, not bad by any stretch of the word but certainly not exceptional.
Works great for hearing it ring and for the notifications and it's perfectly fine for playing games on the phone but it wouldn't be my preferred choice for listening to music.
IMHO the OPO's two speakers worked better for that, even if they were monaural.
Sound is louder than on Nexus 6P but is a little bit shallow. Overall not bad at all. I think it is even better than my note 7

I have a strong noise at low volume!
Im kind of disappointed with the speaker.
Not that i expected much, im just using it to watch videos sometimes.
But its much worse then the speaker on my OPO, meaning that the OPO was much clearer and sounded more powerful with the same loudness.
Im tweaking the speakers usually with viper
I saw video compare speaker a while back on youtube. The result was the G5 / Op3/t/Nexus6P/Htc10 (clear but not loud)/Samsung 7/edge.
I think it was youtube by Jerome Otega you can check it out.
I have G4 it's quite good sound with loudness and LeEco Pro3 have top and bottom speaker so it's like front facing speaker but volume a little low.
Maybe you can try app from playstore "Volume booster GOODDEV" try tweak 30-40% or 50 if it's not distort. This make my LePro3 louder to my satisfaction.
Stock speaker is pretty weak. I compare it to my Sony Z3 wich has stereo speakers. Sonys speakers was pretty good but lacked in loudness. OP3T it is loud enough but quality is very weak in higher volume. I also use Viper to improve quality. With Viper enabled speaker quality is ok.
It's loud but still somewhat tinny. However you can fix it by flashing A.R.I.S.E. Deuteronomy with Viper. The file replaces the audio driver with another; even without tinkering in Viper, the speaker gets one notch louder (quite literally one volume click louder) and the overall sound quality becomes fuller. This is what the phone's speaker should have been from the inception, so it's a 4 star for having me tinker around (fine by me but the review is on the stock phone, not after mods).
yes I strongly agree with above comment and yes speaker have loud noise
so, what is the best sound mod for op3t?
viper or viper+dolby atmos or any other mod?

Download link for deuteronomy is in the OP
*Obligatory backup first before flashing*
Loud Noise Problem still with 4.0.3.
Compared to my previous device, HTC One m7, the sound from the speaker is terribly bad, maybe louder, but terribly bad.

So from the video it's hard to hear which speaker but you can easily hear the change. Basically what's happening is when listening to music or watching a video audio comes through both speakers. However, when you get a notification all audio stops briefly while it switches to just the bottom speaker, and then stops briefly again to switch back to both speakers. Once it switches to the bottom speaker it gets quieter and audio sounds noticably worse. And if you get multiple notifications at just the right intervals it creates a very choppy listening experience. I don't know if this is intentional or not but I find it very annoying and it makes it feel like the speakers were and afterthought. Also, why do speakerphone calls still come out of the bottom speaker? Why does it not do both like music or videos?
If someone created stereo alert sounds, would it maybe be an easy fix for the contrast in volume and mono source? Basically be a less stark a contrast? Same sound through both speakers on top of the music in the background.
Totally different topic, but somewhat related - I was going through online reviews today and I think a CNET video mentioned that someone determined the top speaker is tuned to 10 db less than the bottom. They basically ran left the same sound through the "left" speaker and then right. And by using another phone and a decibel meter app showed the top is quieter. Then they said something like when the engineers were tuning the audio, when both were balanced, there was distortion from the top speaker. But when both were balanced, but low enough that there was no distortion, it was too quiet. So they chose to go lower on top and higher on the bottom to have a better overall volume, without distortion. I wasn't listening so close so didn't catch if that was speculation on why or someone divulged that.
I searched later and couldn't find the original source, so it might be something someone just noticed.
Speakerphone coming through the bottom speaker is so some dumbass hole won't have it on speaker phone and hold it to their ear and get blasted in their ear and then try to sue Google

Bwahahahahaha...Very Nice!
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.
Anyone experience a noise from the display speaker like a slight buzzing or hum during calls? It only seems to affect calls (not media) and only when my ear is positioned just above the exciter. MKBHD also mentioned this noise in his review. I went back to T-Mobile to listen to the floor model and it sounded clean. I also posted on reddit with other responding that their units had no noise. Unfortunately the store won't let me return it without charging me because none of the employees could hear the sound, or they said that it's too small an issue.

I've noticed the same thing, sometimes it sounds kind of like static, but the rest sounds like a mild buzzing. I only notice it some of the time on phone calls. Do you have a case on your phone as well? Might be worth taking the case off and see if it still happens.
