Hey there!
I am really happy with my htc one! Especially the speakers are great!
There is one thing that bugs me though: when I call somebody and I decide to talk on speakers- I experience really bad sound from the usually great boomsound speakers... There is even no beats logo in the notification bar.
It sounds like my old Gnex while in call on speaker.
Anybody else experience this? Will this be fixed soon?

Are you on a custom rom? That might also explain why. And on custom roms with the 1.29 build, HTC neutered the max volume a bit.

Here we go again! If people are happy with their phones and try to defend it against trolls they're fanboys??
So they suck?? Name one phone with better speakers for speakerphone calls released within the last 3 months? You can't because there aren't any.
And who are "they" exactly and where are these quotes?? I haven't read one single claim from HTC saying their speakers don't suck, or that they are so loud, even the haters will love them.
The speakers have excellent sound and are very very loud.
I keep hearing how these speakers are suppose to be so loud but mine don't really seem to get that loud, not sure if something is wrong with mine or others are just over exaggerating, I was trying to show them off to a buddy at work and played a YouTube video and we could barely hear it, so then I played some songs straight out of the internal memory and it wasn't really to much louder, I got the volume turned all way up and beats audio on, maybe there is some other eq somewhere I don't know about? My old evo 4g was almost just as loud

The one I am sending back were not that loud, but they would fade in and out to really loud to barely being able to hear. Also the crackling.
Mine are really loud with no crackling. The first time I got a notification it was startling how loud they were. Games sound amazing.
Won't be able to say for sure until I get mine Monday, but I went to the sprint store and played with the display today. I think the speakers are a touch over hyped. They are definitely louder than any phone I've had personally...but didn't seem like some people make them out to be.
Again, I'll know for sure Monday..

Mine are extremely loud, my wife and a few coworkers have been taken aback by them. Yesterday my wife texted me while she was upstairs and I was down. After her first text she tested right afterwards telling me to turn my phone down because she could hear it from up there.

For phone speakers they are very loud and clear and people are not exaggerating. You're phone may be alright, you may just have unrealistic expectations for what they can do with tiny speakers in a handset.
My Note II is about as loud but doesn't sound anywhere near as good.

Honestly mine are appropriately loud if that makes sense, well except for when turned down to lowest volume they are STILL kind of loud. It's kind of startling how loud it is, I actually jump sometimes from getting a text or email because it's just abruptly loud. It is something to get used to, but it seems you may have to return yours because it does seem there is something wrong.
A good rule of thumb for max volume on the HTC One speakers is that it should "fill the room" with sound. I can play mine max volume in my room at the other end of the house and hear it perfectly fine while in the kitchen.
I bought one of these when I got my One. I'm use to hearing things this loud so I don't expect much from phone speakers. Ring tones and notifications are crazy loud. Music isn't to crazy on my phone. I usually have my goodie bag of stuff, extra charger, external battery, this speaker, ipad, twinkles, you know the usual.

No unrooted stock
Mines is no sound also, completely stock still.
Oddly enough, mine also didn't have a sound when stock.
Was your phone on silent or vibrate before you rebooted? I swear it disables the start up sound but I could be wrong. It annoyed me so I deleted the sound file anyway.
Also, I wish the max volume could be lowered. The minimum volume is still freaking loud.

After having the phone a couple weeks or so now, and letting the epic feeling wear off. I've realized that while the speakers sound pretty good, HTC "boomsound" is a letdown.
My girlfriends s3 is just as loud but doesn't sound as good. Tonight the power went out at work at we gathered in the break room..a bunch of us starting watching YouTube videos. Granted I could barely load any with Sprints crappy network (and most definitely not hq) but when it did play, some dudes crappy LG was drowning my "boomsound" completely out.
The speakers are loud and do have a better sound than a lot of phones, but they are over rated. I like them, but I'm still slightly disappointed

I also found my speakers weren't incredible loud, the quality was amazing for being on a phone, but if i'm in an environment where people are talking, or outside and it's windy at all i have a hard time hearing the phone, but it is consistent, no fading or crackling or anything
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.

Hi All,
Since the past two days, whenever someone calls and I pick up the phone, the sound comes through the speaker, i.e. very high. I have to reduce that sound using the volume buttoms. This happens with only a few calls, not all. I have a screen protector on the phone, as usual.
I have restarted, reset, etc. to no success.
Can anyone suggest what the problem is?
Thanks
Are you using any sound mod?

I have done that yesterday as well. No luck. The problem still persists.
mine is like that as well. i can hear it even in the back of the phone... I checked clearsound and uncheck xloud and it got a little better but i still need to turn down the volume to people not listen to my conversation :x
when you state "speaker" you are referring to the speaker on the bottom right?
or do you mean the vibration through the back (near the camera area)?
edit: just did a test, it feels like its coming out from the speaker speaker but its not, the sound feels like its actually coming from the near back. I guess its not sealed tightly or just xperia z has really good loud earphone speaker.
No i was talking about the call speaker. Sry if i misunderstood

So I recently just got this z1s and I am not please with the music volume. It automatically adjusts my music's volume on bass heavy songs. It is extremely annoying that I have to turn my car stereo and my phone on max to get any type of enjoyable volume. I never had an issue with my s3 doing any of the sort.
Went on a road trip last weekend and had to resort to my old s2 titanium for the trip. I've tried what I believe to be everything, and nothing
Is anyone else having this issue? If so, what are you doing about it?

They never will until it's rootable I guess. Since this is a dev forum, no real development can be done on it till you can at least root it.
Did you try unchecked all the options under settings, audio? There is skating another section in there with an equal that also has more settings to disable. I only use the settings for the external speaker.
Sent from my C6916 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I tried that as well. I've tried multiple equalizers, all ending in the same results.
Right now I'm listening to Google Play Music subscription , with max volume on my headset and handset. I'm listening to Babyface - Loneliness. It's sad that when the bass drops the entire volume is toned down. I hate it.
It's like my phone is telling me the appropriate volume to listen to. There's no problem with that really. My Samsung had that, but I was able turn that off.
My girl has the iPhone 5s. And now has bragging rights lol. Too bad I'm outside of my 14day return policy, or I wouldve waited on that HTC.
Sent from my C6916 using xda app-developers app
So you went to settings, sound, sound effects, settings and made sure everything there was unchecked? specifically clear stereo?
Also make sure normalization is unchecked under settings, sound.
One of those 2 settings gave me the same issue.
I think clear audio under settings, sound (which disables the other seeing options) also causes this issue.
Just get in the and play with the options. One of them is bound to sound right to you.

We just have to face it - this phone overall sucks. Terrible issues with 0 cares from Sony. I was pretty much scammed with this phone, and so were thousands others.
The sound quality of Sony is not bad, but I've never in my life heard a Sony device that had LOUD volume. That includes the Xperia Z1, which has a TERRIBAD speaker. It's not even two speakers, very pathetic for a 'flagship' model. I could never really get it to play loud enough. I have the exact same problem in my car - everything is quite silent and never loud enough.
Z1 is just a huge disappointment in virtually every regard, at least for me. If we have to resort to third party apps or rooting just to have a normal volume boost - things are not good. Avoid this phone if you are considering buying it.
