N8 Loud Speaker, Stand Needed.

One of the only issues I have at the moment is that when the handset is laying on its back (how rude! lol) on a bed and other soft furnishings, like the sofa or sofa arm, the loudness of the speaker phone and ringing is reduced quite a lot due to the fact the only speaker is the one on the back.
One of the cases I bought for it makes it even worse due to it making the level of the back of the phone level with the speak and camera bit that sticks out. Making the sound of the ringer very low when even on a flat/hard surface.
I think I will have to have a couple of stands/chargers for the phone to be in so I can hear it ringing.

Does anyone know of a desktop charger or ideal stands, I'm also looking into a car holder for using the sat nav feature. But they have got to be wide enough for the case on the handset as well, so as for the car holder I think the official Nokia one wouldn't work very well.

@iseebird
Thanks for that, I've just ordered the CR-115 for the car.
Hopefully as it expands the phone will fit with the cover/case still on, only adds a couple of mm's to each side, so should do.
I'm not keen on that one Nokia have as an accessory for the N8 "CR-122", just looks big enough to get the bare handset in, also looks quite rough with no rubber or foam protection.

  • Need recommendations on a speaker stand

    Alright, so I've had the unit for about a month now. In some ways, I'm totally delighted with it. There are certain songs where this thing just sings. Anyone who wants to know how perfect this things sounds when it's at its best should give a spin to Another One Bites The Dust by Queen.
    On the other hand, if I had to choose, I guess I'm one of those rare individuals who'd prefer a more highly detailed treble to the (admittedly quite clean) thump of the Hi-Fi. Since the EQ settings on the iPod suck from that perspective, the best way to get adequate treble performance is to connect another device which gives greater EQ control.
    That being said, I'll be damned if I don't cash in on the "ecology" of it all and use this thing with my iPod. Which means it comes down to placement. In particular, I'm hoping someone out there can recommend a speaker stand suitable to a person with my predilections.
    I'm thinking something tall, but solid and sturdy, and something that stands alone, directly on the floor. But I'm not an "audiophile" (or whatever), so I don't know technically what it is that I'm asking for,
    Maybe one of you out there does.
    Give a shout if you can help. Thanks in advance..

    Hi,
    There are plenty of speaker stands offering in the market, my suggestions are:-
    1. As normally, audiophile speaker stands are in pair, so it is not easy to buy just one, unless you manage to get one, otherwise, see whether you will find a stand for turntable, but which may be quite expensive.
    2. I suggest that you go to the furniture shop instead, most of the stands there are made in Wood, which is a good material of iPod HiFi then "Metal", wooden stand makes the song (from digital music files) sound a bit "warmer".
    3. The stand must be heavy and solid (but with no wheels)
    4. Buy 3 pieces of cones (again I prefer wood then metal), put them between the surface of the stand and iPod HiFi, make sure with the spike direction points to the surface of the stand.
    Just in case you do not understand of what speaker cones are

  • Curve 9220 problem with loud speaker

    I am having problem with loud speaker since purchase. Volume level fluctuate every time, sometimes not audible also. 
    Complaint given to service centre in Jaipur-India but they are not cooperative. 

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

  • E50 Goes to Loud speaker (IHF) mode automatically ...

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my E50 which is some thing like this,
    During call waiting (While I am receiving a second call, when I am already on a call) the incoming audio is switching to loud speaker automatically with out any commands. Then I can not change it into normal speaker even if I tried to do so. The only way to get rid of this is to remove the battery and restart the unit again. Do anybody having the same issues,
    regards,
    Sanju

  • Still have 6 inspire mt1200 speaker stand adaptors available for trade

    I have the 750 Gigaworks Speakers and now have a total of six Creative MT-1200 speaker stands. Only needed four until I broke one of the adapters, so I had to buy two more stands. (You can't buy the adapters separately here in the US)? If anyone out there isn't using the Megaworks/Gigaworks adapters from the stand kit, I would be happy to trade for the other Creative Inspire adapters that came along with my sets of speaker stands. Let me know if anyone has the adapters I need. They are so flimsy it seems so silly and extremely expensive to have to pay $70 plus shipping, just to replace two small adapters. Hope Creative will fix this little problem in the future. luvmyrescuedogsTucson,AZUSAThe 6 plastic adaptors that I still have available, fit the Inspire Speakers. They are the plastic ones that are horizontal and have one hole in them. The other long vertical Inspire Adaptors have already been traded to a forum member from The Netherlands.
    I believe he said his Creative speakers were the Inspire 5700sAnyway, if anyone has the ones for my S750 Gigaworks, that I can trade for, please let me know.

    First, let me thank the two Creative forum members who were able to trade their extra speaker stand plastic adapters to me for the extras ones that I have. It is very much appreciated. Now, if there is a forum moderator reading this message, then would it be possible to pass along my frustrations on being unable to order these very essential parts from Creative here in the US? Surely, I can't be the only person who's metal speaker stand has fallen over and broken that little plastic adapter. These stands are very prone to tipping over. If nothing else, why not make that adapter out of metal? When ordering our stands, why not let us just buy the adapters that fit our particular speaker, instead of giving us extras for two other models? These speaker stands are very overpriced and it seems wasteful to have to junk them because of the weakness of a little plastic part or to have to buy extra stands just to get the part needed. luvmyrescuedogs

  • Stuck in loud speaker mode

    I have an ipod nano 4th generation that is just over a year old. I have had no problems up to now. A few weeks ago i went to turn my ipod on and play my music through my headphones and it was almost like the ipod would not register that there were headphones plugged into my ipod and it was playing on loudspeaker mode. I dont ever use my ipod in loud speaker mode and had not used it for a couple of days when i turned it on and experienced this problem. Any suggestions?

    First, if you have a speaker then you have a 5th Generation Nano, not a 4th generation.
    Get a flashlight and inspect the headphone jack and make sure there is not an obstruction, lint, dirt, etc., blocking the connection. Clean it out if necessary.
    If there is no obstruction, try a different set of headphones. If the problem persists you have a damaged headphone jack and will need to get it serviced.

  • Where to buy Speaker Stands for my Creative Inspire T7900 System in Germany?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to buy the MT-1200 Speaker Stands here in Germany. Any help where I could get them (even outside Germany) would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    htg

    Here is what will work using your existing 4-3 cable and an extra 3.5mm cable. First unplug all the cables from the back of your card and your woofer. Then plug your new 3.5 cable (make sure you are using a stereo cable and not a mono one) into the black on the back of your card and the black (rear speakers) on the back of your woofer. Then reverse your 4-3 cable that came with your speakers. Take the 4 side of the plug and use that end on your card instead of the speaker side. With the 4 plugs hook the green plug to green on the card, orange plug to orange on the card and black plug to grey on the card. You do not need to use the grey plug, so just let it hang there or whatever. On the end with the three plugs, on the back of your woofer hook the green plug to green (front speakers), orange plug to orange (center and subwoofer) and the black plug to black (side speakers.) This is the only way that it would work for me. Simply unhooking the grey on the subwoofer and running an extra cable from there to the grey on the back of the card did not work for me. It has to do with the way Creative has the 4-3 plug wired and it combines rear and side speakers. You will notice this if you look at the colored plugs and compare the number of rings on the male plugs; some have two and some have three for the different channels. When I simply run an extra wire from grey to grey it still cuts out half my speakers. The above way I outlined works awesome and gives me true 7.1 sound. Good luck!

  • Creative MT-1200 Speaker Stands for T7900 (UK)

    I have eventually got my T7900 kit but i have found that i need stands for the rear speakers. It advertises them all over the box as the MT-1200 model. When i checked the Creative Shop (UK) it states that they are not in stock (37.8 inc vat). I cannot find them anywhere else for the UK (Amazon, Ebay etc). Anybody got any ideas as to where i could get a pair of speaker stands?cheers Steve

  • Loud Speaker

    Hi guys I need some assistance on my Xperia Z1's loud speaker, the time I bought my phone early this the speaker was working just fine then just out of the blues it stopped playing music so loud, it's now Playing very low no matter how much you increase the volume and it's really horrible.

    Any solutions I'll appreciate?

  • Nokia lumia 1520 loud speaker grinding sound and w...

    hi,
    my nokia lumia 1520 has been making sound grinding sounds which can only be heard if you put your ear close to the loud speaker. i emailed the company that i bought the phone from and this is what they said:
    "for this type of issue, you can do a Master Reset on your phone (please take note that by doing this all of your data will be erased). If the problem persists, kindly go to your nearest Nokia service center to have it checked. If it's still under warranty, any repairs will be free of charge. If it's NOT under warranty, please get the code from the service center and forward it to us through [email protected] so we can review the charges (subject for approval) and give you a refund for it."
    i did as they said but when i went to the nokia care centre, since i live in uk and the phone is from dubai they said that its out of warranty so i asked them for a code as the company said to me but nokia care team had no idea what i was talking about. i showed them the email and nothing
    so i was wondering if anyone can help me out
    id really appreciate it 
    thanks

    Hi thedeepsleeper,
    Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions! 
    Are you still having an issue with your Lumia 1520? If yes, did something happen to your phone prior to the issue? What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far? Does it happen only when you put it on a loudspeaker? How about when connecting your earphone to your phone? 
    If you would like to send it for repair and since there's no international warranty, we suggest sending it to a Nokia Care Point in Dubai instead. To know more about the difference between the warranty in the UK and in Dubai, see these links:
