Only just bought my phone and charging it now. Can someone please for me...

Download alogcat. Start music app and play a song at full volume. Save the logcat.

Start fm radio and let it play at full volume. Save the logcat.

Apply the temp hack/fix and play a song at full volume. save and post all three logcats here. I want to have a nosey.

Done. Never used alogcat before, so I think the 2nd and 3rd files are an accumulation of all - but should be easy to find out.
The files are timed, and the actions were don in the order you specified. (musice, FM, music with FM)

Comparing this device with the iPhone 4S it has a smoother sound, albeit slightly less loud. SUCH a shame they let them slip out with this bug as it would be enough to convince many people to take them back as they would just assume the phone is either faulty or has an irredeemably shitty loudspeaker. I've not heard a peep from Huawei about the issue. Can't find a single acknowledgmen,  which is poor considering they are trying to make themselves into a force on the mobile market. They should perhaps take example from Apple (much as I hate to say that). They would have at least acknowledged an issue by now and sought to resolve it.

They have reply to me via facebook and also via direct message on facebook. as I got carried away and for every post they made about this phone about buying it, I posted about how bad the speaker is. Also they did remove some posts as they claimed i was spamming them.



I think just call the london number on their website and if you on facebook there too.



Cheers

Rest assured that I have raised this with Huawei directly and they are working on it!

[kradcliffe]

Excellent Paul,

Did you mention about the low / distorting headset volume when playing music / videos?

The sound quality is very good, just far too low!

Thanks - Keith

Facebook huawei wanted my mobile number to "chat" to me, but told they are working on a fix and should be ready asap. But cannot say when.

Never gave my number out. But they replied anyway.

On the spirt fm app you can reduce the volume of the white noise.
Go to settings / Audio / Volume Scale / then put in a value of 1.

EDIT - A value of 0.01 almost eliminates the white noise.

I have the fm app volume control so speaker is louder.

I pulled out the charger this morning @6:55am and after 1 hour its down 5% from 100%

I'm on 2g and nothing running apart from the normal android stuuf that runs by default.
Also I do not lower the screen brightness its at full. thats how i like it.


So far I have not used wifi today, but looking at 20 hours if the rate stays the same.



its 17:24 now and battery down to 48% with 2g only and some data use over wifi, and a few phone calls but not what i would normally do due my mother laptop needed sorting out.
but FM app running all the time today..

Hi guys

Just a quick one really, I've downloaded BBC iplayer from the market with Flash. When playing videos on there through the speaker the volume isn't exactly low... Anybody else noticed this? It is however very low with YouTube etc.

[misterleoni]

BBC iPlayer audio levels are high anyway, even on iOS streams, so that will be why it seems better. I used iPlayer to demo the poor speaker on this phone on my YouTube channel and the difference is still massive, though it is a little more audible than YouTube as long as there's no background noise. It has no relation to the FM fix though.

[Patrick73]

I have noticed some video feeds are louder than the "normal" volume we are used too.

[misterleoni]

I don't think it's anything to do with these feeds tapping into anything hardware related. Some feeds are just louder than others. I often notice on my iPad that iPlayer is REALLY loud compared with YouTube. It's still far too quiet for me on the G300 though, even if it is audible if you're sat in a room not making too much noise whilst you're watching it.

[Davidoff59]

its that bad that morning alarms are switched off as it doesn't wake me up fully to pick out the snooze button so I quickly fall back into deep sleep. Not good so I use a backup alarm clock.
