[Q] ****ty Audio Quality? 100% Stock - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I went to a concert last night, and I recorded some video, and on the first video I recorded, the audio was perfect, as always. However, on all the following videos, the second microphone which this phone uses for capturing the louder audio never turned on, so now all of my videos (except the first) are in mono (with only audio coming from the left speaker, and the audio quality sounds like ****, like every other phone.)
I have a Sprint HTC One, and it's 100% stock. When I got home, my phone died due to no battery (maybe it just needed a restart?) and now it's working fine. What gives? Has this ever happened to anybody? I hope it was just a random software glitch, that's what I'm assuming it was.

I imagine it probably was. The thing with software is sure the testers may test for everything they feel is necessary. But it is impossible to test for every scenario out there, so every once in a while a bug may slip through the cracks, usually its a minor nuisance but in any case yeah it was probably a minor bug with the camera software or something.

Hey just letting you know, you're not alone and it doesn't happen because of battery. I have same issue and some others reported in the international thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660313
First video is always fine with stereo recording, subsequent videos only capture left channel audio. A reboot will allow you to record in stereo again, but just that one time.
If you can test and post there would be great because I feel a lot of people would be affected by this, they just didn't listen on a computer or through headphones yet.

I can confirm this. I just did an RUU and i recorded using the voice recorder and video recorder and both come out with only 1 channel being used and its the left one.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xuxe5l1xvqutp0g/JSajfATqqY That has 4 samples in it, 2 using the latest stock update on the sprint htc one m7 and the other 2 are from the sixth sense rom rls2

Thanks, it an annoying bug that no one seems to be complaining about too much. Probably because if you don't move the videos off the phone or listen through headphones, you won't notice.
Somehow we have to get the attention of HTC to fix during next update.
If you can post your examples in the international thread, there is a thread created over there, that would be good. My fear is that now the M8 is out attention will be there for HTC.

Poor call quality?

I've had my 2X for a couple of days now, and I must say the call quality is quite poor. I don't remember struggling to hear the other person speaking on my Nexus One. The sound is kinda muffled and low pitched.
Anyone else who wants to share their experiences on this matter?
Same on my device.
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
Same here, any ideas if it's the hardware or if it's a setting that can be tweaked?
Hi mine is interfering with it‘s own speaker, but only when it‘s on 2g.
Do more people have this problem?
note when you use the built in speaker on hands free the interference is gone
seems the speaker near the camera is not shielded enough?
Dunno yet.

Seems like this is indeed a problem for many of us.
Can someone of you who uses the newer radio (1035.21_20110302) tell us if you are suffering from the same issues?
Maybe someone can make a dump of the newer radio that we can flash when Paul from MoDaCo gets his CWM working.

Well don't have the issue to works fine here hence better as my Desire lol
Upgraded from a HTC Hero and I must say the call quality is lower on the Optimus 2X with my current radio at least (1035.21_20110223). People here me better though - so the microphone is better... Would be glad if a radio flash would fix it; official or unofficial.
the sound quality on mine is horrifying .. a little wind and i have absolutely no clue what the person on the other end is saying. my Desire was alot better than this
Android: 2.2.2 FRG83G
Radio: 1035.21_20110223
LGE: LGP990-V10a
My LG 2x is spot on and I will dare to say that the audio and call quality is at least substatially better then it was on my Desire
Also have some inn call audio problems. Even if I have volume on lowest setting, it is a little to loud and I hear some scratching sounds.
No problem when I use speakerphone or headset.
Phone bought in Norway.

Yes, even on lowest volume it's sometimes too loud in my opinion.
Would be an improvement to be able to make lower volume possible.

Boom sound?

I thought Boom Sound was supposed to be mini speaker loud? I notice the Beats Audio logo but my volume hasn't been spectacular. Is there a setting I'm missing, perhaps?
The example of use:
This morning, the new Man Of Steel trailer dropped and I was attempting to show off to my co-worker but it just wasn't very audible. Only air conditioning was blowing so we were pretty disappointed. You Tube streamed the trailer fine it just wasn't loud. We tried my Play Music and it wasn't loud either.
The HTC One is firmly in the VERY LOUD category.
Too loud in many instances. Have you, like, turned all volume controls up in settings?

It's the loudest smartphone speaker, either your phone is defective or your volume controls weren't all the way up.

I agree with you 100 percent we had an iPhone fanboy I was trying to showed off also and he wasn't impress ...I started another thread you can search for it and people are saying the htc capped the volume on 1.29 update and the 1.27 firmware is the loudest ...ofcourse say that to the htc one fanboy lol ...it amaze me there are dumb people can't understand what you are saying ..oh well you correct tho there are some of us that knownabout these issues on the htc one. ...by the way don't let me get started in the in call speaker volume ..not loud at all... Perhaps we need to flash 1.27..I bought this phone thinking it will blow me away on the volume dept guess not lol

I was wondering the same thing. I have not been blown away by the speakers on this phone. I got the 1.29 update almost immediately after the first boot so there is no way for me to know what it was like before that. Have you managed to find a workaround or a way to go back or enable the full volume of the speakers???
I'm not saying this is the case for everyone, but for me at least my volume and sound quality were both excellent with 1.27 and 1.29. I often put my phone down while playing music and it fills the room. It's still miles better than my friends s4 and zl. I have to think though that even if some are having volume issues (perhaps the notorious QC issues don't just apply to the build quality), at least you're still gaining the huge advantage of stereo vs mono sound

Someplace, and I forget which forum this was in, a guy found the values needed in order to revert the sound back to as loud as before the HTC update. It was in either Faux123s kernel thread, the ARHD thread, or, Trickdroids thread. I'd advise scanning those. The only thing I remember about the post was it said change the values from 40/40 to 45/45 instead of 60/60 like some guy asked if he could do.
Or maybe that video just had very low volume anyway? Youtube video volumes are NOT normalized and if the vid was soft to being with, Youtube will just stick with that max volume. Nothing you can do with it.
Boomsound is advertised to not only be loud, but to be full as well without the screeching highs and nonexistent lows of other devices.
I've seen a couple zips around the forum for BoomSound I havnt tried them yet but I'll see if I can find em and post them here

doesn't make any difference flashing either one over 4.2.2
The zips contain /system/tfa folder from 1.27.xx builds which were based on 4.1.x hence it reverts to same sound on future 1.29.xx builds when flashed
However, in 4.2.2 these files are different and since we do not have any LOUD firmware from 4.2.2 nothing to replace ...we are stuck with what htc gives

Will the popping and crackling sound ever be fixed on youtube videos?

Will there ever be a fix about the popping and cracking in the sound on the youtube videos??
I heard that more htc phones have this problem..
The htc one is a great phone but this is realy annoying...
Maybe because I don't experience this issue at all. So assuming I already got a firmware version that fixed the issue.
Same here, I don't have the problem on 1.29. What firmware versiona re you running OP?

It depends upon the base though. I can say that 1.29.401.16R fixes the issue.
To all the people having the crackling issue and popping, to my knowledge and my research it seems to be a kernel problem, the only way i found to fix this is to install a custom kernel, example faux kernel and us faux's kernel app and set the cpu to performance and it completely eliminates the popping and cracking sound, or you could flash any other kernel and use set cpu app to set the cpu to performance, its a guaranteed fix, improves your performance but kills the battery faster..
I use my own custom kernel and I am on 1.29 firmware. Never really experience these issues on youtube. I am always watching youtube on my phone more like 3-4 hours a day and it doesn't really happen at all even once.
Probably is on 1.27, cause I notice it on my One and I am on 1.27.

I have the same, I turn off beats and it fixes the skipping/popping audio but the lip sync is out. My Optimus 3d never had this issue! Hopefully this gets fixed soon, I love to watch music videos on youtube and this has ruined my day (only just got the phone.
Tried the Vevo app with beats enabled, still the odd skip but not as much as the youtube app. Mobile youtube from a browser seems to be fine so if you like to watch music clips just use that I guess.
I'm on 1.29.980.2 & I get the popping, crackling and bad lip sync. Turning off beats isn't a fix, just a workaround. You shouldn't have to turn off features to"fix" a problem. That's what HTC's QA Department is for.
I don't subscribe to this just put up with it crap. I didn't buy a premium phone to just put up with it

New HTC One A few questions

Hi all,
I bought the HTC One yesterday, I got a good deal cut price of £210 I'm in the UK (London). I wanted something better looking, this phone certainly fits the bill. I posted on the suggest device thread before, most recommended the HTC One a week ago.
Today, I'm reading some threads in the HTC One section and it looks scary the amount of problems all kinds people are experiencing.
What is the root of all these problems? Is it to do with custom ROMs? I'm a simple user, I've never used anything but default/STOCK what the phone comes with.
If I don't update to 4.4.2 will it be safe to use?
Please advise, asap, thanks.
I'm referring to posts like cracking sounds with the speaker, loud speaker turning on by itself, purple tint on camera.

Purple tint is an issue which I've experienced, so have many of my classmates who own this phone. Ironically, my phone just came frm the Service Centre 2day after the purple tint issue.
Loudspeaker has never automatically turned on for me. Cracking sounds occur if the bass is exceptionally high. Turning off the Beats Audio from the Settings solves that problem. These 2 issues haven't affected as many people, and aren't really as big a deal as the purple tint issue.
Many problems occur when people are not well informed about what they're doing and make unnecessary modifications of their device. A very common issue is when they completely convert their device into a Google Edition, which I don't really understand why. Conversion to a Google Edition has screwed up many phones. If u want the Google Edition, u can simply flash a Google Edition ROM, which is identical to the actual phone and a BILLION TIMES EASIER than fully converting the phone.
If ur attempting something which u feel u aren't sure off, ideally u should create a thread asking for guidance before u start anything.
Thank you for your response. I'm not one to flash any ROM to it, you mentioned Google Edition. Is it ok to use it as it is?
I will check the purple tint on my phone camera. And adjust other things like dre beats for bass ect..

Look, the issue happens when u flash a Google Edition RUU on a non-GE One (Please read a little more about RUUs if ur not sure). Installing a Google Edition ROM is no issue whatsoever. But KitKat Google Edition ROMs require S-OFF.

Not really necessary. I've been using this handset since 5 months now. I've used a variety of custom ROMs as well as stock. Never experienced anything like this. (I'm talking abt the speaker issue, not camera)
FYI: If ur using the built in speakers to play music/video, turning on Beats Audio will reduce the volume but increase the bass. Turning them off will increase volume but reduce bass. That's my experience. Turning on Beats Audio, the speakers were softer than the 5S. Turning them off, it was louder
If ur using earphones/headphones, keep Beats Audio on. Considerable improvement in bass and volume
Also, purple camera has no software fix. The phone will have to be sent to HTC for repair. Took 1 week for mine to be reapired in Dubai under local warranty.
Again, another FYI, Sense-based ROMs have a FAAR superior camera than the GE ROMs. So, if ur a camera freak, don't go 2 GE-based ROMs. Also, Beats audio doesn't work on GE ROMs
You know when you open up the Camera for HTC One, it goes pink/purple for maybe 1-2 seconds like it's trying to find it's colour level then back to normal, is this the same with everyones HTC?

If its just for the first 2 seconds, not an issue. But the easiest way to test the purple cam issue is to cover the lens completely with ur hand or place it on a flat surface, with the lens touching the surface. Open the camera, look at the phone, if its the colour of the surface, then its ok. Even a small shade of any other colour will soon increase as time passes. So IMO, get it rectified now itself if u see such a problem

Have you had any weird sound from speakers on notifications?

Just wondering if any of you sometimes have had any weird sound as distorted / cracked or garbled when phone is ringing or in any notification sound?
Problems found by some users and me:
Crack, Garbled or distorted on notification or incoming calls (ringtone) even on some games.
Doesn't matter the volume level, it's not happening because it is at max level and came a distorted sound, that is not the problem.
It fixes the problem turning off and turning on the phone, so this problem comes intermittent and barely..
I'm pretty sure that could be an android os bug or sound driver bug but still I want to confirm with some of you.
We have 2 Nexus 6 at home, my wife and mine and both of us have experienced the same weird sound issue rarely times and not often, so I don't think that is a defective hardware but I am not sure.
1st Nexus 6 phone Lollipop 5.01 , Stock and rooted
2nd Nexus 6 phone Lollipop 5.01, Stock, Not rooted.

I used to get it all the time on the Twitter app when loading photos (load a photo, go back leave it say 10 secs and load the same photo), it annoyed me so much that I changed my twitter app to just get rid of it.
Obviously is software. Sometimes even it doesn't come out. For example the facebook pop sound when you refresh the news feed. Going to RMA the phone for other issues, I'll let you know if in my new one there is the same problem.
I am having similar problems. I get massive sound distortions all the time. When listening to music, watching videos and playing games. It sounds like a vinyl witch scratches and hurts my ears. I had created another thread but nobody seemed to have the same problem. Is anybody here witnessing something like that as well?
I was having the same problems (at least I don't notice it any more). What I did notice it seemed to always happen when you double clicked on your notification from the lock screen. It was really starting to bother me as I paid a fortune for this phone and it shouldn't have this. Anyway's, I think I found a fix as I don't seem to have the problem any more (it's been 3 to 4 days). I went into sounds and chose other sounds and disabled the screen locking sounds. It seemed to have work. I do have the touch sounds disabled to, but when I only had that on it still did the distorted sound. I'll re-enable it and see if I still get the distortion. I'll post later on.

Are you getting this through the speakers or through a headset. Mine is working great for music or video playback. I also don't blast it either, that could be it.
I'm getting that same issue. Even when I get a call it distorts and it only seems to do that when my ringer is on full blast... It sounded horrible.. It almost made me wanna switch back to my M8 GPE edition.

For me volume does not matter. Also, it is irrelevant if I use speakers or headphones. Same thing happens.
