So far there has only been one problem with this phone that leaves me with a difficult time recommending it. The bottom firing speaker has great audio quality when you hold the speaker facing your direction. Any time you hold it landscape without cupping the speaker its really awful quality. For other phones there are few options for redirecting the sound through and audio channel in the case. The only v40 case that does this is "LOVE MEI LG V40 [Powerful Series] " you can find it on amazon but its gigantic!

Ok, so I've searched the forum about the speaker quality on the TP2. After playing around with my TP2, I can say that I am impressed with the volume/quality when comparing it to my Kaiser. BUT, the design is a bit flawed when using the phone tilted for watching videos, as mentioned in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520823
This makes me wonder if there could be a potential hack for the in-call ear speaker, because it's actually very good in quality - much better than the Kaiser. I'm wondering if it can be hacked to be used at a boosted volume when playing back media, thus utilising all 3 speakers on the phone and giving an all-angle audio extravaganza! My old C550 shared the ear speaker as the external speaker, so I'm wondering if something can be done with the TP2 ear speaker to a similar effect.
Any opinions?
What about SRS WOW?
Have you tested¿

I was pretty pissed that my Acer Aspire One's speaker was on the bottom. It's completely useless. In that instance though, there was plenty of room for speakers in the screen bezel where they would have been usable. For the TP2, there aren't a lot of good places to put it. And since they wanted speakerphone access by flipping the phone over, that placement made sense for enterprise purposes.
I do hope your idea improves its media player creds, but I wonder if amped up audio from the front speaker won't end up sounding as flat as muffled sound from the larger speaker(s?) beneath.
Inateck, a German company specializing in providing accessories to mobile devices and tablets has been making the quite the news regarding their quality products.
Today, I will talk about their amazing product, the Inateck Bluetooth Speakers BP-1001.
Official Website Product Link : http://www.inateck.com/inateck-bp1001b-portable-bluetooth-speaker-black/
The first word which comes out when you see the package and the device, is, Quality.
I had never expected that any Bluetooth speaker would fill every corner of my place with music, which BP-1001 does so easily.
The BP-1001 Box comes with good packing for the speakers, an instruction manual, USB Cable and AUX Cable.
The device sets up so seamlessly with any Android/Apple products we tested it on, that its simply wonderful for the connection part. Some Bluetooth speakers miss out on the connection marks and lose points there, but this one sure does the job!
A welcome ‘ting’ comes from the speaker as I connect to it reliably.
The speaker looks great with no frills branding and very sleek matt looking sides and front. The bottom has rubber circles which is a nice touch for keeping the speaker sturdy on the surface. The top surface is glossy which may attract fingerprint smudges.
On the surface of the speakers we have,
1 USB Charging port
1 AUX Cable jack and a
Nice volume tuner and Play/Pause button combined in one slot. The small hole besides the USB port is the LED indicator which bleeds blue whenever it is paired to a mobile/tablet.
As I have said, the first thing which comes to mind is the Quality of the speakers. The boombox starts playing songs with very good bass and literally no distortion, which is quite impressive considering it just sits in the palm of my hand!
The connection part is one more thing why BP-1001 scores 10/10. It has no issues in streaming music even if its far away in the other room.
Inateck also provides us with 3.5 mm cables which is very helpful if your device is not Bluetooth-compatible. The Speaker literally transformers into a normal speaker while doing its job.
One more amazing thing is the inclusion of microphone. This is another nice touch which enables the user to talk directly into the speaker whenever a call is received on the device. In our tests, we perceived an overall good quality in the talks which I had through the speakers. Voice did not crack or fluctuate while streaming.
All in all, Inateck wows us with another solid no-nonsense product which does the job which it was made to do with zero complaints and issues. Inateck hits the nail in pushing a rock-solid Bluetooth Speaker concentrating on what it does best, Quality with an awesome price tag.
wow, I like it!

This is a great speaker that is surprisingly really loud and great in quality!
When you open the box, there will be a piece of styrofoam covering the top. You take that out and you see the speaker sitting in another styrofoam piece. It is inside a plastic wrapping. Along with the speaker, there is a micro-USB cable and a 3.5mm audio cord. There is also an instruction manual and a “Join Our Power User Program” card.
First Impressions: The speaker has some weight to it. It has a nice, rubber material that feels both durable and sturdy. It can easily survive the general bumps and accidental drops. The speaker has a pause/play button, speakerphone button, a volume up button, and a volume down button. The power button is on the bottom. It doesn't get pushed down when the speaker is placed down because it has a raised bottom preventing the button from being pushed when placed on a surface. The speaker also has a nice clip that is permanently attached to it. When I powered on the speaker, it says, "Powering on Bluetooth." I went on my phone and easily paired and connected to it. It showed up as MM526. Once I paired to it, the speaker says, "Paired." I started playing a song as maximum volume (the speaker will say "maximum volume" when you turn the volume up via the buttons). At the bottom of these buttons, you find a battery light indicator (for when the speaker is charging), the microphone, and a light for when the speaker is on and is on Bluetooth mode. The speaker sounds really nice and loud with nice bass. When loud enough, you can look inside the speaker through the grill and see the speaker bounce up and down with incredible sound. Also, you can feel air coming out of the speaker if you put your hand over it. So far, the speaker seems pretty great!
After using it for a while, I can say that the speaker’s battery seems like it lasts forever. It took me a while to finally kill the battery. I noticed that when you disconnect the speaker, it will say ready to pair. Also, if you plug in the auxiliary cable, it will say, “line in.” The Bluetooth light turns red when it is on auxiliary cable mode. When back on Bluetooth, the light will blink when it is trying to pair/connect and will be solid blue when connected. When turning off the speaker, it will say, “Powering off.” I wish you could turn off these verbal statements because they can get a little annoying sometimes. When testing out the speaker phone functionality, I could hear the person perfectly and the other person could hear me okay. I wouldn’t say that it sounds the best when you’re on the receiving end, but it works fairly well. The speaker can produce nice sound all around and I haven’t found any problems with it whatsoever. You can use the clip on the speaker to prop it up at an angle, which proved to be useful when I wanted to direct the audio from the speaker into a certain direction. The speaker would sound find for around 12-15 feet. Going farther away than that, the sound would start breaking up. I feel like the flap that is on the auxiliary cable port and micro-USB port could someday break off, but using it normally and carefully should keep it on there.
When I say the speaker was loud, it was LOUD. It measured 84 dB on my measuring tool. Also, the quality was pretty good in my opinion.
This is great for anyone who loves music and loves to share it with people! This can be great for parties, for having background music, or to simply show off with awesome tech gadgets!
Overall, this is a great speaker and I highly recommend it! With its IP64 grade protection, great build, and great sound quality, you simply can’t go wrong!!
I was supplied a unit for testing purposes and I promised to provide a completely honest and fair review.

Hey guys,
As a lot of you may know by now, I like reviewing mostly unknown brands to see what their quality is like in comparison to a brand which we all know! Well today I'm back with a review of this UNITEK speaker! (Pictures at the bottom!)
First things first, lets start with the packaging. It arrives in a plastic package which has details about what the speaker can do, such as hands free voice calls, play music and listen to the FM Radio. You can clearly see the speaker, which I think is a nice touch!
I have to say, the speaker was a lot smaller then I expected, like.. a lot smaller! Taking the speaker out of the packaging, you are greeted with an instruction manual which tells you how to do everything with the speaker such as volume up and down and how to power it on. A flat micro-usb cable and a little 'Thank You' card are also included in the packaging!
The build of the speaker is really, really good. It is fully metal and is pretty heavy which makes me believe it is definitely real metal, as it is also cold to the touch. It has a nice chamfer on the top and middle of it, which make it look more premium. The speaker grill at the top is also metal which is great!
On the bottom of the speaker there is a blue LED light which lights up when you turn on the speaker, and flashes while music is playing. All the controls are on the bottom side of the speaker. There is a button which changes from bluetooth mode, to aux mode to FM radio mode (which interestingly uses the Micro-USB cable as the antenna!). There are also the volume up and down buttons, skip track buttons and pause play buttons. There is a port for the Micro-USB cable and there is a SD Card slot in case you have any music on an SD card.
Lets talking about sound quality. It is loud, really, really loud. Shaking desks and vibrating floors loud. It really surprised me since the speaker is so small, but I wouldn't recommend keeping it up that loud all the time in case it blows the speaker! The bass is really good with this speaker which I love and the mids and the highs are pretty decent as well from my testing! Battery life is great, and I got about 4.5/5 hrs of music playback with the speaker. It only took 30 minutes to charge from 0-100% as well.
Overall, this is an excellent speaker and I would fully recommend it to anybody who is interested in one!

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.
