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.

I've also noticed the sound on mine being a problem. It seems if the sound is too loud, it just turns into static. Does anyone have a solution to this? Possibly a different video recording software that works better than the OEM software on the Vivid?
Have you tried checking the videos on your computer? HTC has a rep for putting bad speakers in their phones.

It's not just you. Look at the sample videos on YouTube and you'll notice the same poor sound quality on all of them.
I am starting to think this maybe an audio driver issue or cheap audio hardware. I get poor sound through mu headphones as well. Its not very loud and sounds seem blended together. Missing my infuse and voodoo sound. Sad face
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
I get good sound through the headphone jack as well as the earpiece and speaker but I will agree that sound quality in videos is crap. The mic gets constantly overwhelmed with sounds that aren't even that loud, and in playback that results in momentary muting of the sound altogether.

Same problem
My wife complains all the time that since switching from my iPhone 3Gs to the Vivid she can barely hear me during phone conversations. I have also had terrible luck with the audio on my video recordings. I was trying to record my son's band, and I thought the drums were just too much for it to handle, but I just recorded a very mild piano recital with the same results. The audio playback on both the phone and computer are terrible. It just sounds like it is coming in waves. I hope there is a patch that they can release to correct this problem.

I've learned that the BEST way to get mediocre (at best) audio is to use my old iPhone headphones (that has a mic built in).. I'm going to a concert tonight. I'll test out the quality then. I'll post a vid on YouTube if it's up to par.
I actually started using lgcamera from the market. I get consistent 30fps and if you change the sound options to aac, 44100khz, 128kbs it sounds amazing. It's still mono but no more Mic clipping or gain issues. Much better than HTC camcorder with mono audio.
I can finally record my daughter and understand what she is saying. And being at 44khz, sound is great.
I've tried this app about 5 months ago and it wasn't as fluid as it is now. So I'm keeping this version's apk handy. Give it a try since its free. (don't check the enable stereo beta thing...I think it actually records backwards..)
Sent from my HTC Amaze
Damn, I gave it a try. Initially, it'll launch but when I press record it says a failed error message. Then sometimes it freezes when I try to adjust the settings.. Then I force closed it and open it back up and the screen is black. I did a restart with no success.
It might have something to do with me having an htc vivid with the amaze camera apk (via holiraider rom)
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.

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?

I used to have the s3. Only thing I feel was better was signal. I jump between 3g and 4g a lot more vs the s3 where I had a constant 4g signal. Speakers are great everything is fine with my One other than the signal issue it's not the death grip either regardless to wether I'm holding the phone or it still jumps.

Yeah, I also had an s3 and the sound mod, even at 50% would make the speaker extremely loud.

S3 didn't get nearly as loud as the One can. Turn off beats if you want it louder.
Signal issues are software and are present in every HTC phone on release unfortunately. The problem is simply that it gives up on an LTE signal too quickly, not that it can't receive it.
Compare dBm with your s3 side by side.

Same here with the signal issue! This has been a problem for me since the Evo Lte, I traded my S4 for the One becasue of the superior quality build but seriously Im starting to think that LTE is more important to me than the build quality and Im very positive this wont be fixed with an update because the evo Lte still has the poblem. Terrible handoff between 3g & 4g :crying:.

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

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.

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.
I've notice some crackling sound kinda like static in my ath m50x while listening to music . it has to be the the phone because I've tried the PC and its sounds clean and my nexus 7 sounds good as well.

No crackling here with my studio quality sennheisers. Using Liquid rom with kernel tweaks for increased mic and headset gains as well. I've tried fiddling with the volume (up down up down up down) while having it maxed out and it sounds perfectly clear. Have also tried skipping forward in the song/skipping songs with volume maxed and couldn't replicate whatever issues you're having...don't know if that's good news or bad to you but there it is^^
I've heard distortion (using my M8) in songs that have been mastered really loud. I don't hear it on my MacBook pro as much. I wonder if the m8 gain structure could be setup better for clearer audience.
One album that I notice it a lot on is Beck's new album, mainly songs in the middle or the record. Ripped mp3 via iTunes at 256

M8 crackling solution
So I rooted my M8 to the GPE and the crackling is gone. Also, now my M8 works 100% better. There are so many things that function and look so much better. Basically I am replying to rant about how awful companies and carriers make android function when they modify the OS. Google may get paid by allowing hardware and carriers to modify their OS, but they are going to lose customers in the end due to this terrible customer experience. Customers who don't buy a nexus or google play edition or can't root their device are out of luck and get an inferior device with a poor usability.
