Volume - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Htc one Boomsound

Hi,
I bought this htc one a week ago, i bought it in black (used) but then i exchanged it with silver (used) paid some money on top.
ok lets come to the point. I saw reviews and all on the internet about the boom sound and the phone being very loud.
but i used those 2 phones and i dont find them loud or near loud. Its even lower than average sound. My 2nd phone iphone 4 is louder.
Does that means my htc is faulty or is it just me. i dont even use it anymore because it makes me sad that i have spent 400 quid on something that let me down on it.
i tried to reset and reinstall the software but the sound is as it is.
AM I WRONG?
Is the "Beats Audio" turned on on the main settings menu? It's a night and day difference if that isn't on.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
The sound on the One is considerably louder than that on an iPhone. If beats audio is enabled and it is still quiet I would go back to your supplier as it would appear your device is faulty.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
The most important thing I see here is that you paid more for a silver one than you did for the black, that's just plain wrong. Comments like this amuse me. You pay £400 for a second hand phone and you don't even use it simply because you don't think the volumes loud enough? What is the world coming to!!

Yes mate i paid a high amount because that phone wasn't easily available in the country where i bought it from lets say there would be a 100 pieces in the whole country at that time, and this phone had a lot of value. The black one dsnt looked so good when both of them placed side by side. i would change it again for the red one lol. The world isnt going no wher just because i dont use my phone because i think it isnt loud enough,
Lol at surround comment, beats does nothing of that sort.

Moving to moto x??

I know that on paper the moto x is just a "mid range" device and i love the htc one in every single way...but sprint and its crappy service is even worst with my one. Idk if is just because is metal but my wifes galaxy s3 get better sigan everywhere we go. I heard motorola is really good with radios and anthenas and to be honest is the only phone on sprint's line up thats not a crappy samsung or an icrap that i would like to get...anyone has any input on this?

Honestly, even with the features on the Moto X, the HTC One is the better phone. If I had my upgrade today instead of two months ago, I would still go with the One. Just my opinion though. Go to a store and try out the Moto X. See which one you like more!

I experience the same issues as you. Wife's s3 holds onto signals better just about everywhere we go, Wi-Fi included.
the customization options for the Moto x had me drooling...until I noticed that was for the AT&T variant only.
I would hold out until 4.3 drops for sure.

My wifi speeds are slower on my One than my S2. It's probably the metal but I don't think the iPhone has this problem. My speed test shows that I have 16 Mbps but the pages load as if I am getting 1 Mbps. Weird. Hopefully this is addressed in the 4.3 update if it's fixable

Flash a ROM and lock it in roaming, enjoy great service until you get that termination letter. Switch carriers...profit.

I dunno about moto being the one who makes good modems/attenas, but I know Samsung is known for having very good ones... I don't know why you wouldn't even consider a GS4 or a Note 3. Hell, if you're gonna switch carries why don't you just keep the ONE??

I don't know why people were calling this a software issue. I think the software issue they were talking about fixing was the blur.
Is the X unlockable? After the photon/atrix fiasco I vowed never to touch another Motorola device.

I switched from the moto from the One today. I switched because of the purple camera issue. 4.3 didn't fix it. I have to say I like it a lot more.
720p screen isn't bad at all, can't really tell. Its thinner than it seems in pictures. Runs really smooth. Cam is alright but havent taken any outdoor pics, just indoor so it may look better outside. The touchless controls and notifications aren't gimmicky, you'll use and like them. Moto assist is pretty good. The only thing I miss is the speakers in front.

Don't know why you would do this without trying to fix your ONE first... It's obviously a hardware issue, not software. You can do all those things on the ONE so technically it is a gimmick. You basically just downgraded.
Its the second one I've had with the issue. Just got tired of it. Doesn't feel like a downgrade at all. Only on a spec sheet comparison. Its not aluminum but built very nice, feels great.

No, actually. Active notifications alone are a god damned good reason to never go back to my One. It's life changing. Touch less controls are fantastic. AOSP + those two things, boot loader unlockable, rom interchangeability with all carrier, equally if not more smooth experience than the one plus better battery life, higher resolution camera, and the phone is repairable. My one will stay in my backpack as a backup phone, thanks.

To root or not to root

Well I've been a good boy since I have had my one well all of 2 days. I am fairly curious about the rooting possibilities and what types of tons are out there to try.
I have always rooted every Android phone straight out of the box but decided not to with this one. I'm enjoying the stock feel Bart life is really good haven't run out of batt in 24 hours YET.
Since I'm new to HTC devices any tips from you guys before I **** up and brick it lol
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
It's safe to root right away, maybe give it a day or two more to see if it has hardware defects.
This is a hard phone to brick in my opinion.

It'd be nice if they would simply make an 8-ultra-pixel camera, I only skipped the "One" simply because of the resolution limitations & memory-expansion.

They(HTC) no longer hold a stake in the company itself, but that doesn't mean they don't still have licensing. From what I heard, Beats will continue to be offered.....but, that could just be rumor too.....
According to these articles, it sounds like the M8 isn't going to be much better than our current device. 2GB of RAM, UltraPixel camera (no reference about actual pixel count)
I hope these specs are not correct because I will not be getting it if they are.
HTC you need to step up your game on this device.

I'm ok with the rumored specs, my main concern is what size battery is HTC going with? Anything less than 3000mAh would be an epic failure.
Short battery life was the single reason I got rid of my ONE and ended up with a LG G2.

The phone would need to be a bit bigger for a larger battery. I think that battery life on my DNA is awesome. Although I do run a custom rom and kernel (latest cr-palmer kernel). I really don't think that they should use a smaller battery either, hopefully it will be more advanced.
I have a feeling (other elevate members will know what I'm talking about) HTC is considering going back to removable batteries.

I just wanted a SD. The only real world significance SGS4 has over this HTC in my hand is signal strength, battery, & SD option. My S4 isn't rooted, but signal way better
