Speakerphone (loudness, clarity)

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

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).

 

[basratransport36]

yes I strongly agree with above comment and yes speaker have loud noise

 

[Regionella]

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.
