ok so I know I am not the only one. on xda a few of us are getting if not all speaker noise always on. if you think different put your ear up to the speaker and listen, you will hear white noise! I know for me i am not looking for any dead peeps to come crawling out my nookie! I just wanted to get this addressed so that maybe it could get fixed.
I have a class A tube amplifier that is silent at zero volume it was a few hundred dollars. it only amplifies. I guess I could try to solder it into my nook to try to make it silent but then my nook would weigh 35 pounds and only last 0.93 seconds on battery power beforeneeding a recharge.
Yes, same here.
Even posted this to the forums a while back, and several folks reported the same results.
Persistent low-level white noise.
the condition is true with both the rear speaker and the headphone.
Same problem,still there on silent mode, with headphones, screen off... 7.0.2 with 4/24 kernel.
It's kernel related. It's being fixed.
This is one of those things that you won't notice unless someone points it out. And after you cannot stop noticing it. I'm not happy that you made me aware of it ruining my perfect tablet....

I've noticed the noise with Phiremod v6.2 running from an SD card. I thought it had something to do with CM7. However, after booting into the B&N stock 1.2, I still noticed the constant noise.
didn't try to re-listen since i'm on cm7 but had this noise with nookie froyo (only when the screen was on).

Or you can be over 45 and a former sound engineer for live rock bands like me. I can't hear a darn thing coming out of the speaker.
edit: what?
Hi all,
Hoping someone can help; I've had the phone for a week and speakers have been fine, I've actually started making calls more this weekend and today and I've noticed a hissing noise whenever the other person speaks; it really reduces clarity a bit. I have full signal my end; I've made test calls to other people and my answerphone, when there's no talking on the call there is no hiss, it's only when the other end speaks that there's a hissing noise, almost like it's been recorded and relayed through the phone if that makes sense.
Does anyone else get this or is it crystal clear for everyone?
It's nothing to do with Beats Audio, I've made calls with that on and off with the same outcome.
many thanks!

How old are you? Serious question.
People with young ears can hear higher frequencies that older people can not and that's an established scientifically proven fact.
If you're in the 15 to 25 age range the HTC One may perform, to your ears, substantially differently to people in other age ranges.

This doesn't make a hissing noise acceptable. If it happens on every call, even in different locations, the phone should be sent back for an exchange.

I'm 29. It's definitely something not 100% right. I came from an iPhone 4S and although quality was never amazing, I noticed it being a problem as I have with the HTC. Seeing as this is a better phone than the 4S; I expect call quality to be better also, not worse.
I've just heard so many reviews saying call quality was so good and when I speak to people over the phone, it sounds like a recording made on a cassette and I find myself having to turn the volume up to max.
I did consider that the people I speak to may have a bad signal too so rang 3 (the network I'm on) and listened to their menus, the thinking being that if I have full signal there should be no problem and still there was distortion in the recorded menus.
Anyway, I've rang 3 and they've happily said they'll exchange the handset, only problem is they can't get stock until the 23rd April. I can still make out what people are saying so it's not an emergency, it's just that when you have a premium handset you want it to be just that. From all the digging around I've done it looks like a hardware issue with my phone. It;s just odd though because in regular use, the speakers are fantastic.

If you physically can not hear any hissing then hissing isn't an issue.
If someone who can hear 'hissing' and changes their handset and can still hear hissing then it's an issue for them.
Hissing could be a side effect of noise cancelling.
Anyone who's had any experience of ANR in recording situations will confirm that.

Sounds like you're right from your description
I've had 4 handsets now that have all had this problem. Try listening to classical music on low volume or record a video in a quiet room and play it back. Also try classical music with headphones on low volume, same issue. Beats audio makes this issue worse but does not create it. After so many replacements I'm now done with this phone, getting an s4 instead, which is a real shame.

Have done, did do, still am. Quality headphones, too. Lots of tops, still no 'hiss'
I listen to a lot of spoken word/classical/stuff, sourced direct from CD as well as radio/web/ and FLAC wherever possible.
I understand that 'hiss' on my HTC One isn't an issue for me but also happy to state that it might be for others
and I might not hear hiss as a result of loitering round 40k sound systems.
Look after your ears. Like your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone
i have had this very same problem on the 3 handsets i have had, all sim free phones from phones4u. I am also on '3' and wonder if its a sim card or network issue? When it works fine the call quality is very good however i would say that in 6/10 calls i have the hiss/static noise when the other person is speaking.
I have a 'late build' handset from one of the fw build places and generally the build quality is better and i also do not suffer the haptic button/lack of response on back and home buttons that i had on the previous devices.
Could it possibly be sim card related?
Hi all
I have the same issue with about 90% of calls and am also with 3. I'm on my 3rd handset now and all have had the same problem. The hissing is only when the other person speaks and although I can still understand them, it's very annoying. Apart from this issue, the phone is great but I'm seriously thinking of changing to the S4 which I'm really not happy about.
I've also changed my SIM for a new card today and it's made no difference. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Hissing. Try another handset. Troll.
Well, I'm pleased it's not just me then!
As I said, replacement due next week, if it's the same then that'll be a shame. I'm not sure yet if it's enough to make me cancel and get another phone but it would be nice if there was an improvement.
There is a low hissing on video recording in silent rooms but to be honest, it's not really audible in a normal environment and it's no different to other handsets I've recorded video on. You can't expect a phone to be 100% brilliant at everything it does, just hope for it! If I want a clean sounding, picture perfect video, I'd use my camcorder. When I need to take a video there and then and have the phone, usually it's of my kids and usually they're running and screaming so any hissing is not heard.
I did take a call this morning and although not what I would describe as crystal clear, was an improvement on yesterday; perhaps it is signal related and by that I mean the signal of the person at the other end. If their signal is weaker then perhaps this is just how it sounds on the HTC and I will have to live with it if I like the phone enough; which I do.
Thanks again everyone, you've helped me not to feel alone and that it was all in my head!

Try setting the phone to GSM / 2G and see if you still have the "hissing". I have this on Xperia Z on Orange and 3 mobile when the phone is in 3G or H mode while making calls.
Edit: sorry I noticed you're on 3 mobile and they don't have 2G. I think it is related to network mode though and not reception.

Thanks for that helpful and constructive reply. HTC told me to try changing the SIM card, unfortunately I'm not as phone savvy as you obviously are!
I'm just trying to work out why all three handsets had the same issue. I only have 8 more days left of 3's 28 day exchange policy, so need to decide whether to put up with this or exchange for an alternative handset that hopefully won't have this issue.
I don't honestly think that getting another handset will change the call hissing issue as u have had it on all 3 if mine. Honestly think it must be '3' thing don't know if it's network or SIM or setting problem. I am just trying to decide if I can live with it or not.

That could be true but I was with 3 for my iPhone 4S and never once noticed the hissing noise
Nothing wrong with three, have had a few phones with them with no issue. Also everyone else I know on three doesn't have this issue.

I''ve noticed that this issue for me only occurs when I call someone. When I receive calls the quality is excellent with no hissing when the caller speaks. Any ideas why this might be?

I have read about this issue. It is due to the noise cancelling mic configuration. It was first noticed in 1080P videos where there is a slight hiss no matter what. So far it is thought to be a software issue that should be fixable via changing a gain setting we don't have access to currently. Again this is just hear say right now so take it with a grain of salt.
Hope HTC recognise this problem quickly along with the other things like the captive button issues and release a fix asap or they face undoing all the hardwork that was but into designing this phone and forcing everyone to the gs4

Hello,
I picked up my att note 3 on Friday. I believe I have a defective loudspeaker. When at max or near max volume when talking on speaker phone the audio is distorted/resonant similar to a buzzing. I tried removing the back cover which had no affect.
Being as others have modified the android OS to increase volume with success it seems likely to be a defective phone.
Please let me know if any one else hears poor speaker phone audio quality.
I will likely try to swap my phone out for a new one at att.

Maybe yours is normal. As when I listen to folks on speakerphoneI can hardly hear them compared to my S4 and its quiet perhaps they reduced it on my build for this very reason ( cheap speaker ).
I originally thought something was wrong with my device because i kept hearing the audio drop down and raise again when listening to music. But I noticed it never did that with anything else besides the app, Spotify. I decided to try another music app and I cannot replicate the issue. I think it's the Spotify app. Maybe a compatiblity issue with 4.3, not sure. Either way sounds comes out normal except in that app.

Hello Everyone,
I exchanged my phone this past Friday. The new phone may be slightly better than my previous one but it still distorts at full volume when on speakerphone.

Ran some more tests on both my wife's and my unit. If you listen carefully on full volume you can occasionally hear it clip

Mine is pretty bad. I have a hard time hearing people on speakerphone unless it is all the way up, then it is pretty distorted.
Have any of you other users experienced repeated speaker failure on same device? I just sent my phone in for second time with lower speaker distortion/static. Seems to happen after about 2 weeks of receiving phone back from service. I keep all volumes below 50%, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong to have so many failur in short time. The phone has been through HTC service for camera module, lower speaker static and once again for lower speaker static, so 3 times now...I'm sticking with this phone because other than that it's been awesome for build, it's a newer dated one and have had it since new and overall great performance etc. HTC offered to expedite (overnight) me a possible (out of reps control) refurbished phone but I chose to stick with my current one because I know it's history. Overall HTC has been great to work with and they take care of shipping each time and turn around time has been a week or so just sux to continuously have lower speaker acting up. Thanks in advance for insight and comments/replies.

ive had 3 replacement HTC ONEs already due to the speaker blowing issue and now i need to have it replaced again for the same issue.
Yea, it sux, I just wanna know what I'm doing wrong if it's something on my end...be it work environment (dust, metal in speaker etc) or too loud (which I usually don't turn up past 1/2 way) beats/no beats...

Hello all,
I have noticed that the calls (at least on Tmobile) are quite noisy / with hiss - both on the earpiece and the bluetooth headset. Anyone else noticed this?
I feel like I had a slight hiss noise where I hear in the background but it's intermittent, not continuous. I could be describing it wrong though. GPS 32gb.
A lot of peeps have this issue. There is a long thread about this. Most likely you got a bad unit. Good luck though i had 4 units have same issue.

I also hear this 'hiss' during phone calls. Also when I am playing a game, that I have muted all sounds for, the speakers keep giving empty noise.
