Hi guys my gear is suffering from very low sound volume from the speaker, I can hear it its just very faint. It used to work fine, here is my set up ...stock NA3 which I have since downgraded to stock mk7 I also downgraded the gear manager and have performed multiple resets nothing seems to help. Is my only hope to send it to Samsung? it works, i just can't hear the bloody thing!

Anybody?? My 1st thought was software issue but I'm now thinking hardware issue

Did you get water in it?
I don't think so though but I guess it's possible. ... It's in for warranty repair at the moment, I will update when I get it back. On a side note I find myself really missing the convenience of staying in touch with the world at the flick of the wrist, after having a smart watch I can't imagine myself ever not owning one.

Okay, I called Samsung last Friday morning and by Saturday morning they had sent out the return envelope... Posted Monday morning and have just received a brand new watch and cradle back from them! So 6 days in total from 1st contact to new watch on my arm, THANK YOU VERY MUCH SAMSUNG. :thumbup:

Yup back to normal, as I said they gave me a new watch, I know this as my clasp was scratched and this one is mint.

Do you happen to have the contact information for them? Mine is doing the same thing. I don't think it's a water issue either. Thanks a million

I think I may go to best buy and mess around with their watches and compare sound levels. See if it's normal to be lower or if mine is just low. I feel they should have included the speaker on the actual strap facing you (opposite the camera).

Oh on a completely non related subject I finished setting up my new watch earlier and have got the nexus lwp running behind the stock icons with the knight rider theme tune as my ring tone, I'm in geek heaven... Looks and sounds the nuts

Maybe some funk got in the speaker hole or the speaker itself got inverted somehow.

I blew some compressed air into the speaker and it seems to be louder now.
Hope this helps someone else in this position.

What is that dreadful rattle noise that seems to come with the haptic feedback of every HTC phone? Sometimes the feedback seems fine then the weird rattle comes back. Had this phone one day btw. Dropped it once though.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Have had mine for a few days now and has only had one fall from a few inches off the ground so I know my issue isn't from damage.
The haptic feedback seems okay for the most part, but any other vibration is crazy loud/rattles. Even while holding in your hand and not just rattling on the desk or something. Seems to be a common problem.

Sounds like a QC issue. It should not be like that. Mine is silent when vibrating, unless on a table or something hard that resonates the sound.

Interesting. Yeah mine makes the sound only when sitting on a hard surface, or if my hand is in a certain spot on the phone. I hate that sound so much though.

I can say that the vibration sound is quite loud and annoying. And it is only when holding it certain ways. Straight up a s down it makes no noise. At a 45° angle it is quite loud as well as holding it flat.

It's the worst! It's like this with every HTC phone I've had. I just turn off all haptic on HTC phones because it annoys me so much.
Makes me second guess not going with the s4

The vibration issue makes me want to take this back and exchange it in store. The data issues and next to impossible streaming capability(have not yet been able to stream a YouTube video using mobile data) make me want to just take it in and exchange for the s4.
The over all build quality and believe it or not, the ui and software makes me want to keep the One.
Still have about 10 days left to make my decision.

I pretty much feel the same way. I have 12 days. If the build and UI wasn't so sexy I would have already.
As I'm typing the vibration is getting more ridiculous.

So here I have my 304k phone, and seeing the nipples on it, I thought there was some use. However, when I place it on a desk, the speaker gets muffled incredibly and I can barely hear anything out of the speaker. Anybody getting this?

I'm sorry... nipples?
You can't hear anything after placing the phone on your desk because the speaker is on the back of the phone. Flip it around and you'll hear just fine.

The little bumps some models have at the bottom of the phone, on the back near the speaker.

Pretty certain they are so the glass isn't in direct contact w/ the surface so it doesn't get easily scratched and not purpose built for the speaker.

I've seen on many websites that the nipples are for raising the glass so the speaker doesn't get muffled, and I'm pretty sure that when the glass isn't in direct contact speakers should be better.
Now I need to hold my phone when I watch YouTube >.<
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Did you also notice how small these nubs are. If the intent was for speaker enhancement, I would think they would have made them bigger. I would consider trying to locate a case with a kickstand if you watch YouTube often.
Ummm, lay the phone on the screen so that the speaker doesn't get covered?
And don't say that will scratch the screen! A case or bumper can easily remedy that! If the back speaker bothers you that much, get the HTC One with the front facing speakers!
Ok guys let it go.
Ok guys as it seems that People are still in middle school I renamed the thread.

You use crystal glass table put your phone screen down, then you plug in headphones and stick it with duck tape to very sensitive stereo mic which is plugged to high quality amp and speakers, lay down under the table and enjoy :silly:
Will the nubs rub off over a period of time if I keep my nexus 4 in a tight case?
Sent from my |\|€×u$ 4
I think the nubs are there so the back won't be in direct contact with the surface of anything that may cause a sudden temperature change and break the back glass.
I haven't received my phone yet, so it's just a speculation.

Raising the glass off surfaces will improve the speaker as well I think.

Wow, people amaze me sometimes.
I am just posting that the on board speakers died on my phone. They aren't blown as headphones don't work either. I can only hear anything on a regular phone call as speakerphone doesn't work either. I have restored my one to stock as I am doing a rma on it. Anyone else ever experience this?

Do you have bluetooth speakers? Try that and if it works it's probably the amp imo. If it doesn't it might be your audio driver. Either way your probably going to have to get a replacement or a repair.
Have you called HTC and troubleshooted with them yet?

Yea I contacted AT&T my provider and they are shipping me another one. I had cm10.2 on it when it stopped worked but even returning it to stock had no effect. I just posted here to see if anyone else had experienced this issue.

Not closely similar to this, but I'm about to claim for the SECOND time that the top speaker is junk. The first phone it blew leaving it distorted and fuzzy. This one, all of a sudden overnight it sounds like a crazy vibration coming from the speaker. Kinda hard to explain... But it sounds absolutely terrible. So I'm going to fastboot the RUU and see if that makes a difference. If not its going back for another

So my HTC One speakers are unusually quiet. I've been researching it but I can't find a clear answer. Basically my girlfriend can blast the entire house with her S3 speakers and I can barely cover the bathroom with mine lol. Turning Beats off doesn't make much of a difference either. My friend with the phone says his is too loud and other forum posts say the same. Before I backup everything and take it back..is this a confirmed issue? Thanks guys

Tried to do everything and nothing fixed it, so I took it back to Sprint and they ordered a replacement for me. She played youtube on my phone and youtube on their demo phone and it blew mine away lol...
I have my galaxy gear from att running stock with a few sideloaded apps. I have really enjoyed using the watch and use s voice for responding to texts. However the speaker sometimes sounds crackly. I don't know if I can fix it or need to take it back to att.
Any advice?

The farther I am from my phone when using s-voice, the worse it gets. If I'm next to my phone, it's fine. Go upstairs and phone down, it's crackly. I feel it's not the speaker but just the relay between phone and gear is weak, like when I used blue tooth headsets and would push the limits on distance.

Omg thank you so much. Was blowing my mind how music/video, sound just fine. While S Voice kept cracking "manly used it when phone was away on charger" kept cracking. Then I put it in my pocket while standing and sound just fine.
