EricDraven59 06/06/22 7:08:42 PM #1:	Yes I got this new android phone a few days ago and it's much more up to date than my last. The previous phone had the speaker as the ear piece where you listen. But this phone has the speaker for sounds on the bottom of phone on right hand side. So now when I hold my phone horizontal to play games or such my hand blocks much of the speaker! So how exactly do you hold an Android phone horizontal without blocking the speaker? That I can't figure out. Thanks <cite>EricDraven59 posted [p:965598430] in Seriously ...

It would be very odd design choice for developers of phones to have a speaker which gets mostly blocked when held horizontal Depending on the phone you can arch your fingers too I guess. Like place your finger tips on the top corner. This is easier with a case tbh though since it has better grip. My speaker is towards one side on the bottom so I naturally arch around it like im holding a standard controller --- I don't believe in belts.

EricDraven59 06/06/22 7:21:32 PM #13:	@rexcrk what do you mean? If I turn it one way or the other way the speaker is still very close to my hand and get partially or fully blocked.

A_Good_Boy 06/06/22 7:21:48 PM #14:	You just get used to it eventually. If the way you're holding the phone now isn't working then try flipping it horizontally from the other direction. Also, quite a few games actually do recommend headphones... probably for the exact reason you're talking about. --- Who is? I am! <cite>A_Good_Boy posted [p:965598773] in Seriously ...

EricDraven59 06/06/22 7:23:33 PM #16:	@A_Good_Boy how is it for you when you hold your phone? Did you have to learn to somehow move the hand do it's not blocking speaker? I guess I'm just not used to a more out to date android.

EricDraven59 06/06/22 7:24:22 PM #17:	@Derwood if I play games while out I'll lower the volume down a lot if I don't have my headphones but I do bring my headphones on bus trips and such.

I guess I'm just not used to a more out to date android. Mine before like I said had the speaker for sound coming out of the ear piece so it was never blocked no matter which way I held it I think it depends on the game, but either I'm able to hold the phone with my hand cupped around the speaker so it's not blocking it or I'll position my hands in such a way that the back of the phone is resting in my palms and that way my hands aren't covering the speaker either. It really depends on the game for how you hold your phone because of their controls. If you're lucky then the game will allow you to configure the controls and you can try to make them more comfortable to your grip. --- Who is?

EricDraven59 06/06/22 7:34:34 PM #20:	@Smashingpmkns hey yeah probably cupping it awkwardly has to be a start. Damn that is unfortunate. Actually one day I hope to be able to afford a pair of Bluetooth headphones that way the headphones not sticking out of the jack on top of phone. Yes my phone has a headphone jack haha.

Tyranthraxus 06/06/22 7:36:18 PM #21:	Just turn the phone upside down. It should automatically rotate to the new orientation. If you can't do that for some reason, use a headset / earphones. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:965599118] in Seriously ...
