Quieter Audio with Android Revolution. - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why is the sound volume so much lower compared to stock? Is it the X-Audio tweak? I don't want to have to reinstall the rom all over again just to turn that tweak off. Can you turn off the tweak somewhere? Is your audio a lot quieter? Please help! Thanks. I'm running the latest version of the rom, 9.3 and it is not the kernels fault as it was quite before installing Elemental X.

I just removed Pure X-Audio and it is still really quiet even at max volume. Please help.

It's because HTC lowered the volume on the phone in the latest update to protect the speakers. ARHD is based on the latest version.
Why does everyone need the volume up so high?

They made it quieter than it was it the 1.27 builds but there are ROMs that have supposedly brought the loud audio back.
Maybe they made it quiter because people were complaining it was too loud when at minimum volume in the original firmwares?

I like to listen to music out loud and watch movies. Is there anyway to change it back?

You seem to be knowledgeable on this topic. So can you change it back some how? If so how?

Use a ROM that is based on 1.27 or one that explicitly states that it has brought back loud audio.

I would rather not change ROM's. So there is no way to get something or change something to bring it back?

Anyway to tell what mic?

As we know, the double membrane Mic is going to be swapped because of it being exclusive to Nokia. HTC said it would go through the stock of current mics and then switch to a different. is there a way to tell which your phone has?

Boomsound

Anyone experiencing quieter sound from speakers with newest 4.2.2 update?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I honestly feel like I do. I don't know why. I thought I must have just gone used to it...but since you noticed I think I'm not crazy

Hi there, any chance to increase the volume? After 4.3 update (stock, not rooted) any other smartphone seems to be louder than my One - desire s, one s, xperia s

Haven't noticed any drop in loudness after updating to 4.3.
Every other phone I compared with was louder than mine

i've read something about some speakers got damaged, that's why htc reduced loudness in the new update (temporary)..
I made a mistake as Im not on 4.3 but on 4.2.2 anyway I cant say I can feel boomsound power, just an average playing speakers

Multiple threads on this subject. I, myself, am experiencing the same issue and I really hope this will be fixed in the next update, but I won't be holding my breath.

Temporary? How do you know this?
This would imply they admitted to doing this on purpose and committing to a fix (hopefully soon).

Those were my initial thoughts as well, but I think it depends on firmware. Some early models had really loud volumes that were lowered in subsequent updates. There are mods on this forum if your device is rooted to bring it back to those really high volume levels, but if you don't have root you're stuck waiting for htc to roll out an update that may never come...

Hmm. Check out the viper one, insertcoin and a few others have links to such mods in the first post of their respective threads. Can't remember any specifics, but most sense based roms have such mods linked in the description.

Alright I compared my device with two other ones in two different shoo and confirmed mine volume was lower playing same track on youtube, even staff member agreed. I called HTC, explained and was told I must send my device for repair. It took them about one week and I got my One back. There was no description included explaining what was done so I contacted HTC again and was explained that apparently speakers have been replaced due to being faulty. I didn't have chance to compare my phone with any other one after this repair but I will definitely do. In my opinion completely nothing was done as I can't see how speaker can be faulty playing sounds less loud - it works or not, that is how I see it. Also I cannot find any signs of disassembling device, which is good but can also mean that it was never opened.

Camera Quality and Volume issues

Hello,
I am about to send in my HTC One for a warranty claim, however I want to verify is someone experienced the same issues before.
First of all, taking pictures is a pain with my HTC One. The auto-focus works terribly and it barely makes the picture any more clear when I focus on something.
See the following image as an example:
http://oi42.tinypic.com/2199xs1.jpg
I do notice that when I record a video, it goes slightly better. It seems to have a much better focus, but still not the same as one of my friends who has the same phone. Which brings me to the following issue.
The volume of my friends phone (Black HTC ONE) is a LOT louder.
He has a stock phone, no custom rom, not even rooted. And his volume is just way louder.
I myself have only rooted my phone, and no custom rom, neither have I ever tried any volume tweaks.
Is anyone familier with any of these issues?
And am I recommended to send my phone back for warranty?
Thanks in advance,
Tobie
Same here man. I get the same camera problems so I'm sending my unit back. I don't know about the volume issues however. But images won't focus at ALL only when its stuff that's nearby even if I have macro on or off.

I heard that in the latest update HTC decreased the maximum loudness of the speakers to prevent damage to them. If you've taken the update and your friend hasn't that may be the difference.

I'm on 4.3 maximus and selected the option to have increased loudness like in the old versions. Alarms can be stupid lol. I just turn the volume down.

Try brushing your speakers with your toothbrush. I'm not kidding it really worked for me.
