is it just me or the speaker sound so low? Sometime j barely hear it with 50%. Need to be more than 80 to hear it normally. But some sound sounds okay at 50...
Nope ! The speaker is more than average. My Media Volume bar never crosses 50% level.

I agree also sound quality is too bad
Sound quality is not that bad actually. The problem here is the level by which it is increased at every successive push of a button. It is almost inaudible till 50%, after that at 90%, it is okayish but at 100% it is too loud. Samsung should fix this in the next update.
Yeah, we need more volume steps.

To the actual (lucky) owners of the Desire :
-How's the main speaker volume?
Is it low as Nexus One or much louder?
I love smartphones but I can't understand why the mot basic things like ringtones volume could be low so I hope the Desire is a true upgrade in this domain compared to N1
Please I have to know to see if I wait 3 more weeks for Desire(Lebanon) or get now the N1
Never heard the volume on the N1 or indeed what you would consider loud - seems ok to me on the Desire.
Mine is more than loud enough....
Mine is pretty loud. However when I listen to music the high frequencies seem too loud. I didn't look for an equalizer yet, but it,s probably there somewere.
Mine is also loud enough, but I wouldn't call the sound quality superb. It's OK.

Seems like the reaction I had about the HD2 the first time. It is loud, but starting from about 50% max volume and up it starts to sound 'bad'? I was expecting some good things from that 'enchanted dolby around' stuff.. and in the TechRader review they said it sounds quite nice.
Even on 1 this 900 drops a **** ton of sound. Anyone else have the same problem? Podcasts, music, ringtones and notifications doesn't matter: it just booms.
yes. this phone has great volume. But after 15 it doesnt seem to get any louder on my phone.. for music at least..?
What I have noticed, I'd that the volume increments are very irregular on the external speaker, but much more consistent on Bluetooth, and wired headsets.

Yes when I had mine it was loud. It was a welcome change as most smart phones are not loud enough, but yes low volume setting was still loud.

This is pretty much what I noticed. I am glad the phone is loud rather than not loud enough. I wish they could adjust the volume to coincide with the numbers better.

Yeah going from 0 to 1 is like what going from 0 to 15 should be. They need to work on the lower volume range; it's basically an on/off switch at the moment. Annoying at times, but not a deal breaker IMO.
I love volume of my Lumia...its loud and clear....even though it keep it at 10-15 range most of the time...but its really good for very loud places too
I'm deaf in 1 ear...so it all sounds good to me. Though, I am trying to figure out what a ****ton is....
How is the sound from the new speakers? It was absolutely TERRIBLE on my Nexus 7 2012 as we all know. I am hoping it's far LOUDER and maybe even a little better quality?

Speaker Hissing Noise
I have noticed hissing noise from the speakers when playing back music at less than 25% volume.
Seems to go away once volume is set above 25%.
This hissing noise is not there when playing back through earbuds with the same volume levels.
Just wondering if anyone has noticed the same thing on theirs.

Yup mine has this. I am hoping for a kernel or some apps that can adjust the sound to fix this annoying issue.

i haven't noticed that...so thanks very much for pointing that out
sound is much improved over the 1st gen though. no need to "cup" the speakers at all.

Yes, see my post here with an excellent response from a pro audio engineer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383248
Though I don't get how it can be the preprocessing hardware if it still sounds good over headphones. Waiting to see if he responds to that question.
To me the total volume output seems about the same (since the 4.3 update my old 7 seems louder) but the new 7 has more depth. With my 7.1 the volume was all most non-existant until after 50%. On the 7.2 the volume is pretty good at 50%.

I'm not very happy with the headphone output. My iPad was significantly louder with the same headphones. Anyone have any recommendations for improvement? My HTC one is fantastic with headphones in.

It doesn't sound very good if you've heard the HTC One but compared to the OG Nexus 7 it's a large improvement.

I have noticed that the bottom speaker on my Z5 premium is quieter than the top one. I have tried using landscape, the left/top speaker is always louder.
When starting speaker phone, which produces audio out of the bottom speaker, it is louder briefly before returning to a lower volume. I also notice this when starting music after the phone has been quiet for a while. The bottom speaker starts of loud then it sounds as though it fades to a lower level.
A method to reproduce the bug: Enter the service menu by entering *#*#7378423#*#* into the dialer, selecting "Service tests" and then the "Stereo speaker Right" test. You may find that it begins louder then fades quieter soon after the test begins. If not, play the "Earphone" test and then repeat the Stereo speaker Right test, and you should find that it begins louder than before, before fading quieter as soon as the test begins playing
Anyone else?
EDIT: a more foolproof method, start playing music in Google Play Music or your music player of choice, go into the above service menu and play the earphone test. As soon as the earphone test finishes and your music resumes, it'll be clearly louder in both speakers before the bottom/right speaker fades quieter again.
Hopefully sony fix this quickly!
Same here, although voices seem to be central?

Mine is fine this morning! Coming out of both speakers as it should! Weird. Literally just charged it overnight and tried again this morning after my Timely Alarm went off
Now that's weird.
Same

We had a post about this when the Z5 came out. I and a few others had the same problem and it rectified itself over night.
Mine has been fine for ages, I've just flashed new generic software for the UK and the problem is back again. I'm hoping it will sort itself out like it did last time. Its definitely software and not hardware related
Under audio settings enable Dynamic Normalizer ,that fixed the issue for me.

Sure does, mine is so low I thought the bottom wasn't on. I'm very disappointed with battery, stereo speakers, and heating!

After reading your comment and a few others I am very concerned now about my Z5P, It is being delivered tomorrow and I would have thought that with such a big battery running in 1080p most of the time the battery life should be great. Also heat issues sound concerning aswell as the speaker issue
All phones for me are hopeless this year

Don't worry, your Z5P will kick ass...the heat issues are probably least of a concern with this phone compared to other 810 phones...and quite honestly, you should WANT the phone to run in 1080p outside of viewing pictures and videos... There is absolutely nothing to be gained by having 4k on all the time...but if that is something you want, it can easily be achieved by changing the DPI...no root or bootloader unlock is required... Being a Nexus 6P owner, I can honestly say the Sony is still better even running 5.1.1

Yea the battery is a little better today, but still not ideal for its size. On a bright note although it's a heat sink the performance is OUTSTANDING!!! no matter how hot it gets, I haven't noticed any decrease in performance. I also haven't noticed the "over heat" process running in the background yet. This was a common site on my z ultra!

Thanks I am not concerned about 4K infact thats not even the reason why I am getting this, I wanted a bigger screen than the z5 and bigger battery. I am glad its 1080p most of the time. that is a good thing infact I wish it was just 1080p.
My concerns are the battery life as if its running 1080p the battery life should be great ith a 3430 mah cell

See that still not ideal for its size is concerning tbh.
So I don't have a speaker issue as such but the speakers on this phone are not very loud and tbh, I am tired of this whole stereo speaker stuff I don't buy into it, before anyone mentions that the phone is water proof/resistant. I don't buy it on HTCs or the Nexus 6P either. Imo the bottom mounted single speaker on my GS6 and IP6S sound better, fuller & louder.

I know that this is an old thread but that's what the search feature is for.
This fixed my louder top speaker issue and has had the added bonus of increasing the volume of YouTube too. Thank you.
SOLVED!!
I have solved it
First step, empty the media volume bar, then restart your phone
Second step, turn your phone on, and play music with no volume, then increase it gently.
Voila!! Your bottom speaker now has equal volume with top speaker
Problem persisting even after a phone replacement

Does your speaker work fine now? I had mine stopped working and got a replacement from the company. But after 40 days the problem is back again. There is a 7db difference in the loudness of both the speakers. My original phone used to do the same. Loud for a moment but then quite at the end. But gradually the bottom speaker lost all of its sounds and I wasn't able to use the loudspeaker feature while calling and the company swapped it for me, probably with a refurbished model. Respond to me and help me out or I'll be damned after the warranty period expires.

Just wanted to make sure, but can you feel vibrations in your phone at full volume when playing music or making a call at full volume?

Yes mine does same. Kinda annoying when you're holding it watching youtube. I must say this phone sounds good though.... well for phone speakers
When ip68 began appearing in these devices, the usual complain was low speaker volume, now, samsung increased speakers volume, so, some vibration is perceived
