Motorola Droid :: Big Error With Back Speaker
Dec 25, 2009
The speaker on the back has a support beneath it (where the speaker(s) would be), except in one area. Off center to the right there is a hollow area where it can be dented, which I found out the hard way. I just happened to look at it and notice this defect. Having never dropped mine, I have no idea what could have caused this other than something pressing on it in my pocket. Upon further inspection I found out that this area is in fact pliable, due to the lack of support behind it.Will be dropping by VZW on monday. Since I'm within my 30 days until jan. 3rd, I hope they replace it for me. It would really suck to have to pay my $89 deductible (or whatever it is) just for this, but I can't be showing off my Droid with a dented speaker

Does the backlight while on a call using speaker or bluetooth shut off a lot faster now.

This is my first android device and i'm loving it... but one thing that irks me is the use, or lack thereof, of the back button.
As I am navigating menus and options in the Settings, I cannot simply go back one menu using the back key. For example, if I go to Settings->Battery Manager->Battery Profile Options and want to go back to the Settings screen, I cannot.
Pushing the back button does nothing and I can only go back to the Settings menu by going Home, then re-entering.
Another quirk regarding the back button is when reading emails. Using a regular email account such as Hotmail, I cannot simply read an email and go back to the inbox using the button.
It makes navigating the phone very tedious.

I'm just about to get a Desire when it comes out (very soon now) but I wonder about the speaker at the back.Can anyone with a device with the speaker at the back tell me if this is any good? Do you have to place the device on a surface up side down when playing MP3's through the laud speaker or hands free?

I'm sure the engineers who build these phones are quite brilliant individuals, and certainly, at least one of them has figured out by now that, "Hey, if we put the speaker on the back of the phone, the sound is going to be muffled when the phone rings!"So I'm just curious if there is some logistical/technical reason why this is done? I figure it would be much better design-wise to put the speaker on the front, or maybe even on the bottom. Other than not being able to see the screen in direct sunlight, this is the only real gripe I have about the phone thus far.Also, do you guys lay the phone face down when not using it, assuming you'd otherwise sleep right through the phone ringing when sitting on its back?

After updating my EVO, all my sound comes out of my earpiece only. No speaker.I can get the backside speaker to come on in a phone call, but any other apps, games, etc-- sound is only thru earpiece, not the backside. Is there some setting I've missed. It's aggravating.Wife updated her EVO fine, and she doesnt have that problem-- Rebooted a couple of times.

I Installed speaker on when in car kit. WTF the car kit blocks the speaker, so the volume sucks. Do you have to drill holes in the damn thing, or is there a way to increase speaker volume when in car kit?

Updated to 2.2. Did a factory reset. Am very happy with 2.2 - speed, battery life etc. all top notch. The speaker volume is still too low. Yes, it's a BIT louder but not much.

My headset speaker (non-speaker phone) has a buzz to it when the in-call volume is all the way up, or one notch away from full. If I call voice mail, any automated line, or anybody speaks loudly the words are distorted by the speaker buzz. I'm not sure how else to describe it other than distortion/speaker issue. Does anybody else have their in-call volume all the way up that could confirm whether this is happening on theirs? My wife has the incredible and when I compare on her voicemail full in-call volume, it is perfect. I'm thinking about exchanging at Best Buy, but wan't to make sure its not common before I do. Would hate to go through the trouble if they all make this buzz/distortion.

Don't put off calling CS or going into a store. I had it, but it wasn't that bad. I thought it was tolerable. Then it got ten times worse between phone calls. And after using my husband's X and bearing how crystal clear and loud it is, I know I definitely got a defect.

50% of the time when I answer my phone it automaticlly goes to speaker.Has anyone else had this problem? And if you did how did you fix it, I haven't found a setting that applies to the speaker to turn it on/off when the phone is answered.

The speaker is on the back of the phone, below the battery cover. When I hold the phone by its sides while watching a video, the speaker sound can sound tiny. But when I cup the back of the phone with my right hand, the volume is increased, possibly because the sound bounces off my hand.

When I use the speaker function on calls, the other callers cannot hear me clearly.I tested it myself with another phone, and I barely hear anything from the other phone.So there is either something wrong with my speaker/mic or the phone?Anybody else having this trouble? Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

I've been running this phone fine now for 6 months or so. All of a sudden earlier this week, there is now a speaker button on the botton middle of my phone when it's in a call.It's a plain ugly white button and it sits UNDER the existing "Mute" "Bluetooth" and "Speaker" buttons that are currently there.

just received my X about two weeks ago. I love it. It is way better than my old BB Storm. So far I have only found one issue that I can't seem to resolve. It seems that from time to time my external speaker just stops working for media files. The ringer will still work as will any alerts, but if I try to play a YouTube file there is no sound. A reboot of the unit will fix this, but I am wondering if this is a know glitch or if I might have an app that is causing this. I tried searching for this topic but the only thing that comes up is a thousand threads complaining about the sound level.

So I know there are a few others in my boat with damaged speaker mesh. It pushes in very easily and although I was being careful I did it myself.My fault, my bad. Is a bummer.I contacted blue rocket from GrapiXpressions to see if they would be able to make replacement speaker mesh

People cannot hear me on speaker phone. I'm not sure if it's because I SBF'ed back to stock, which may be different than when I first got the phone? Other than that, my phone is perfect. I would hate to have to go through a refurb. I was wondering if it was possibly a software issue.

I've seen a few posts noting that the speaker volume was not loud enough even when turned all the way up. I'd like to get this phone and use the turn-by-turn GPS is this going to be a problem?

I use my Droid to play music in my car. Prior to update, turning media all the way up on Droid would make a crackling sound in the speakers.(This is with Droid hooked up or Droid by itself) Since the update, I'm able to turn it all the way up with no crackling. It sounds fantastic.

So I got my X, I love it all in all a much better phone that the original Droid (other than the lack of root thus far). Anyway, I have noticed that sometimes the audio from a call comes through the earpiece very low volume. Also when using the speakerphone feature (because it's hard to hear through the earpiece) I found that the caller on the other line can't hear me unless I yell into the phone! For a phone with 3 mics I'm not happy with these issues.

My wife and I recently got the DROID and so far really like the phone and all that it can do. My wife has been having some problems where she would hold the phone to her ear with her shoulder and she will accidentally mute her call, or some times put the call on speaker phone. Has anyone else experienced this issue? As hard as i have tried, i am unable to duplicate her issue with her phone or mine...

Ok, now I've had time to listen to music on the Droid X and I ain't liking it. I'm comparing it to the iphone and it's so weak in comparison. Is it just me or do others feel the same way?

I've read mixed info about this so wonder if anyone here has actual experience to know for sure.Can the DX can send the Map app's turn-by-turn directions voice to an A2DP capable Bluetooth speaker (the type you put on the sun visor)?

Lot's of talk about the speaker volume/tone on the Droid X.
I too am a bit concerned with the speaker volume and tone on my Droid X.
I did a test. Droid X vs. Garmin Nuvi GPS - Google Nav vs. Garmin built in maps.
I plotted a route across town and fired up both units in my car. I turned on my car radio. I started to drive.
Results:
1. The Garmin was louder and clearer than the Droid X when speaking turn by turn instructions.
2. The Garmin was loud enough while listening to the radio.
3. The Droid X was not loud enough to be heard over the radio(volume set to max).
I don't want to plug my Droid X into the AUX on the radio because I then lose use of the radio.
Is this a hardware issue in the Droid X or something that can be fixed by a software update?
