Speakerphone !!!

My speakerphone sucks!
Low in volume and kind of crackles and cuts in and out almost when talking on it. My girlfriend has the same issue! Anyone else having this problem our know of a fix or setting to help the problem??

I have to say my Bionic has one of the loudest speakers I've ever heard on a phone. I'm comparing this to my OG that I modded to be louder than stock and several iPhones. I also haven't noticed the crackles and cut outs. Maybe take back for replacement? Odd y'all both got bad ones tho...

Yeah my speaker is pretty damn loud compared to my previous phones where I would have to pick up the phone and point the speaker phone towards. Kinda defeated the purpose, now I can have it a few feet away and hear perfectly.

It's much better than my wife's Tbolt. I can hear it loud and clear.

Mine seems better than the Charge, but that's not saying much. I like it, it's loud and clear!

I think it's a pretty damn good speaker. Maybe not as good as my OG, but still great.

Wow alot of u have loud speakers. Maybe both of ours are bad. Can you tell me what settings
you have out on??

It would be nice to have the functionality to automatically activate speaker phone by putting the phone face down like the Thunderbolt.

Not doing anything special, just turning the volume all the way up. Well I have been rooted and removed all Verizon crapware and running Launcher Pro from day one but doubt that has anything to do with it.

My original one did that! I went down that day and got a new one...the gal at Verizon gave me alot of grief though...new one works perfect...

I would describe the Bionic's speaker as getting "uncomfortably loud". I did also use it for a ~45 min concall while away from the office and the quality was fantastic.
Coming from a N1 where the speakerphone was so garbled it sounded like everyone was in Peanuts.

I've been impressed by the sound quality.... so loud in fact that sometimes i have to turn it down. I toss it in a shirt pocket and carry on with my business while on conference calls at work. Just running stock.

It definitely sounds as though the speakers are blown. I concur with my xda colleague in that this phone has one of, if not the loudest external speakerphone system on the market pre or post the moto droid 1.

htc One problems

hey guys,
since this is the new device
it would be an honor if you can post all of the problems that related with One
would be good for future references

--
These issues are documented if you look around dude
but for this thread
some had speaker problems.
while playing back video footage noticed a hissing.
some batterys crap.
some cameras maybe crap
bare in mind though these phones were first batches its not unusual.

Mine was a first batch phone and had a screen that flickered and the top left of the screen wasn't flush... the power button was VERY smooth with the device too which made it extremely difficult to use.

I've had no problems with mine except when plating music at maximum through the headphones, it will occasionally sound briefly distorted. That's not exactly specific to just this phone though.

The power button is supposed to be like that because it would look ugly if the power button was sticking out too much.

Bluetooth and speakerphone switch off
My AT&T version definitely has a problem with both Bluetooth and speakerphone modes switching to handset mode during calls. I am not even touching the phone so no fat fingering. Oddly the A2DP works fine because I stream audio through a Jabra Cruiser 2 to my car stereo using the FM transmitter and this never drops. The Bluetooth connection is still active when the call goes to handset mode, I could hang up using the Jabra but just don't get call audio through it after a few minutes. This is a pain while driving, anyone else experience it?

Mic fades/distorted

Has anyone else got complaints from the person on the other end of their call that we sound either really far away or distorted? I seem to get it allot and different locations.

1- Watch that your pinky finger doesn't accidentally move over the microphone while you're holding it.
2- Check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262648
I currently have the team at HTC interested in this. The problem is their noise cancellation may be picking up your voice for just a moment while you switch ears, or move... then for up to 30 seconds, your voice is considered "background noise" and is filtered out mostly.
This frequency cut gives the impression that you're far away or in a tunnel. I'll update the main thread when I hear back definitively what their findings were, and if there will be a fix.
Workaround for now, is talk very consistently (don't alter volumes) and watch your positioning; don't talk to where the back of the phone could pick you up.

Anyone else have this problem (Deathgrip-loss of signal)

Pretty sure all sprint versions of the One do this.. I have yet to see one that didn't in areas around - 93dbm, always drops to -100+dbm when the grip is applied in lower left corner.. Although I don't call it a death grip because it actually does not kill the connection like the iPhone 4 did. And when you're in a call it switches to the top antenna so no big deal.

It happens in my area as well and I'm not sure my device is switching to the top antenna because I will drop calls as soon as the signal strength drops.

I never hold my phone in a way that contacts the lower left when in a call. But just to test it I make a call and if I have 3 bars and grip lower left I can see it drop to 1 bar then immediately to 5 bars. I assume it's switching antennas because that's what I read it was suppose to do.

Like the iphones of old, will a skin or case prevent the death grip?

I see it on my 2 week old Black ONE. Thought it was the work-in-progress issue with using cm 10.1, and decided to bare with it by assuming that the Cm 10.1 folks will find a solution. After reading this post and watching the videos, I was stunned to see that this was the actual reason for the low signal and slow data speed... and possibly a few dropped calls? I finally noticed that when the phone is on but laying on table top... it can show 4g signal rather well. But, as soon as I grab it to use in my hand... the 4g data symbol disappears.... signal meter drops to almost nothing... then comes to 1-2 bars at most showing 3g data. I still thought 4g was not rolled out in my area.... But, my wife, who has N2, said she has been noticing it for few months already.
Overall, besides the camera, I was pretty happy with this phone, but I am realizing it has worse signal than my old epic 4g. I am hoping this is a fixable issue for HTC and Sprint... I am contemplating returning to exchange for S4 this weekend, before my return period runs out. demmit.

this has already been discussed somewhere else, may have been the international forum. but like i said in that post, it is nothing extreme. and it is CERTAINLY not a death grip. death grip COMPLETELY kills your active connection, or drops you to 1x. in this video, the signal was already ****ty... dont worry about it, every phone always hovers in the -70 through -98 range... stop worrying about it... just stop. a 10db loss is nothing people...
end of thread please

hmmmm i can't reproduce this in my case....

this is the hong kong and taiwanese flagship we will get it

Definitely Taiwan will get it first! Look at One X+, Taiwanese version got 4.2 before all the others.
I really hope they fix the audio crackling at high volumes, perhaps my unit has a defective headphone amplifier, but another user, tsokh, also noticed the same thing =/ Galaxy S4 with Snapdragon 600 had a similar problem, but I contacted HTC the rep told me that nobody else has complained to them about this issue (but then again I contacted HTC North America not Taiwan, a bit of a language barrier and they give you similar replies everytime there).
Also Beats Audio is kinda buggy if you listen to speakers with Beats on, and plug in your headphones the volume increasing effect of Beats is actually reversed and it actually decreases your volume, then turning Beats off actually increases the volume (leading to the audio crackling too). Even worse, after I do this, I start getting an occasional audio ZAP like not crackling but a loud squeak at the same location of a song.

It's noticeable only on some type of music and only with high level of volume - you can't hear anything with moderate volume level.
Beats bug with increasing/decreasing volume is true :fingers-crossed:

It's only occurs with songs that have a slow deep bass, example would be the slow part of Touch by Daft Punk, some R. Kelly songs. With most songs audio quality is great but I notice a little bit of high-pitched EMI on the left channel at the beginning of each track.
The audio crackling is very apparent with in-ear headphones and earbuds, if you have the volume above 11/15. I find 12/15 to be the ideal listening volume so I do notice it a little bit, but using PowerAMP it SOMETIMES doesn't happen. (but with PowerAMP I get occasional audio popping as opposed to the crackling distortion)
With higher impedance on-ear headphones you only get it at the maximum volume setting (Beats off).
The HTC rep advised me to have it checked with RMA (I might just go to a service center in Taiwan to ask about it the next time I go, it takes about 2 weeks for a factory repair though)
Does anybody use Bluetooth for listening to music? If it doesn't happen on Bluetooth it might be the headphone amplifier.

It's not only the butterfly S that is affected by the crackling sound on high volumes. I can confirm that it's also happening in One S and X..

are you getting the same problem? I thought it made sense because the Butterfly s uses the same chipset as the i9505 GS4 which also had its own share of audio problems. It might only affect a few units as daorderdillon says he doesn't have the same problem with the song in question. It may also be that only 901e are affected as he has 901s.
Strangely I never got this problem on my One X+ but I did get constant skipping which bothered me but mostly only happens if the screen is on and I'm doing something with the phone. Original HOX had a bad DAC and a lot of users disliked the audio quality (never tried myself), HOX+ much cleaner but kinda lacking in bass and treble.
The new update does seem to make the touch screen more responsive. I was having problems with the shift key and the back button, also playing Lep's World 2 where the jump button didn't always respond (perhaps it's because they updated it recently). Finally, there used to be a continuous hiss in the background even after you stop music playback. With IEMs the hiss is still quite noticeable at the beginning and end of songs (including a high-pitched EMI on my left speaker), but it stops soon after you pause the music.

There isn't much difference actually the camera seems the same. Keyboard and buttons seem to be more responsive as I had some problems before under the screen protector.
Also, charging animation means your screen will always be on, I only realized this yesterday and I really hate it - what if your screen burns in? (good thing it's not AMOLED, but still there might be some retention as I get that on my iPad 2) Right now the only solution is to charge under standby mode.
