1.29 affecting volume?

*small rant, question's in bold*
Forreal tho I'm on jellybean 4.1.2 build version 1.26.502.10 and boomsound is loud as hell.
I been playing around with custom kernels and roms and noticed that the newest update (build 1.29) reduces the max volume noticeably.
..Reading around the forums confirmed this also.
For comparison, 1 click up from mute on 1.26= 3 clicks up from mute on 1.29
Has anybody figured out what the changes are that HTC implemented that causes this?
I read another post somewhere in the elementalx forum that HTC said these speakers are capable of 93db! So why can't be have that?
Hell one of the main reasons why I got this phone was because of the amplified dual stereo speakers, if I want to blow them then let me but best be assured I'm gonna be jamming until they go.
I hope there's some dev out there working on making this phone's speakers reach their limits for us. I'm gonna be staying on 1.26 for awhile and enjoy my loud volume. I'll be definitely keeping a backup saved in case I decided one day that some rom's tweaks and stuff is a better tradeoff than louder volume.
*end rant* But seriously tho.. Can I haz even louder volume plox? Lol

This is a kernel issue already addressed due to released source not being complete. Hopefully will be fixed soon!!

Hopefully! And here's to hoping that a dev 1ups HTC and creates a tweak that unleashes the amped speaker's full potential!

Low volume after updating to 4.2.2

Hello there
I have noticed that the speakers are now a lot quieter ever since I updated from the stock 4.1.2 to custom ROMs based on 4.2.2, specifically Android Revolution HD 10.2/10.3 as well as Trickdroid 7.5.0. I have tested the volume levels on both, and they are definitely much quieter than the volume was on 4.1.2. Is there a reason for that? I also checked on "PureX Audio" mod in AROMA installer on both custom ROMs in order to see if it makes a difference but I did not feel that it did, I could be wrong, though.
I am sure I read before that it is quieter on 4.2.2 and that there was a fix for it.
Thanks

I'm also facing the same problem.
Lower volume while using earphones.
The volume of the speaker is also lower during phone conversations.

I asked dis the ova day lol its because htc lowered volume levels on the update they must of felt they needed to tone it down

I have just downloaded update on stock and my volume is a lot quieter which is really annoying didn't warn you about that before updating the twats.

Volume sounds about the same to me, maybe a bit lower. Had AT&T 1.26 before flashing to unbranded 2.24. I know it was definately lower when the kernel source wasn't updated and devs had to use a hack to enable the in call speaker, which made the volume lower.

Is there a way to downgrade from 4.2 back to 4.1?

The newest version of volume+ on their site [beta I think] works with 4.2 to increase volume

Careful, I think HTC lowered it on purpose because they are having issues with blown speakers. Mine blew and I had to get a replacement phone from ATT. The tech said he's replaced many for the issue.

I'm on my 3rd (2nd replacement.) HTC One from Tmobile. Blown speakers all of them. This one is going too. Just not bad enough for me to go through the return hassle yet. I was not surprised to find this thread. I stayed stock, but i expect when tmo gets to 4.3, they'll have lowered the volume. So much for "Boomsound"!

ı dont hear anythıng when i use with headset. Sounds too low while listening music. You cant make call with headset because you dont hear other side. How can i find solution.
4.3 will be come at least 2 - 3 months later. And i think htc wont increase it.
boom sound is only reason to buy htc one. Now htc lowered up.

I flashed the boot img. and the GE Edition last night and noticed the back of the phone got almost too hot to handle. I have been using RayGlobe for the last month and very good results with custom radio. The signal is great, battery life exceptional and all in all the perfect rom for my phone it seems. Might give that a try. I have set up the SVN to get updates regularly , only thing is getting the raw zip from the PC to the phone

Definitely the Google Edition firmware. Its easy to use and you will learn every part of android.

Right now I'm using Trickdroid 5.6.0 purely because the phone stays cool even while charging, it's 4.1.2 so it's quicker and louder than 4.2.2 and it has no proximity sensor issues which all 4.2.2 Roms have and is no closer to being fixed.
I vote stock 4.1.2 or trickdroid 5.6.0 which is android 4.1.2.
Cheers

Thanks for your recommendations :3 will definitely check that up guys

Flashing a custom kernel ontop of your preferred ROM will help a great deal. ElementalX, for example, has options to undervolt your CPU while idle, and also has Thermal Throttling options to cause your CPU to scale back earlier, thus preventing excess heat. Neither of those options will cause performance degradation, and actually running a custom kernel generally will will make your phone perform BETTER.
Bulletproof is closest to stock, and has fewer options.
ElementalX has more options to fiddle with. If you're worried about heat, do not set the Max frequency any higher than stock. You can even safely bring it down to around 1200mhz without really any performance degradation, but I recommend leaving it stock, setting the minimum as low as it will go, undervolting, and setting maximum thermal throttling (Run Coolest I think it's labelled as)

Some custom Kernels like ElementalX and a few others have the option to control thermal throttling to make your device run cooler. If you don't want to use a custom Kernel though simply locking your CPU at a lower max frequency will produce less heat.

Keep in mind that your phone is basically one big heatsink and that Qualcomm chips have ALWAYS run hot. If you think this thing runs hot, you've never used a Touch Pro 2... Or a Sensation for that matter. My Sensation got so hot using GPS it kept rebooting. Not good when you're driving from Colorado to Louisiana where T-Mobile has no service!

Heat is more of a Kernel issue I would really recommend trying @faux123 Kernel I have used it on several different devices and have always found it to be one of the coolest running kernels there is. Elemental X is also good but I still find Faux's a little cooler running and easier on battery life using Faux's recommended settings. If you decide to try it I would also recommend purchasing Faux's app for controlling the kernel I have found it to be the best for that kernel and you are supporting a awesome developer. It can be found under Original Android Development. Hope this can help you.
No I am not a Faux fanboy I have just found his work to always be top notch with awesome support.

[Q] HTC one m7wls

I purchased the HTC one from a sprint store. It is the M7_wls hboot 1.44.00. I promptly rooted it by unlocking the bootloader with fastboot and installed TWRP and cyanogenmod 10, since I used and loved cyanogenmod7 for 3 years on my EVO before physical damage and processing inferiority finally made me throw in the towel. It was perfect. beautiful. best device and ROM combo I ever saw. The HTC one and cyanogen 10: a match made in heaven. But then, quite unexpectedly, after allowing the phone to die on a job site one day, it would not take a charge. The good news is that sprint will not attempt to open the phone and so no unrooting was necessary to replace it. In fact they did it there in the store since I was within fourteen days of the original purchase date. No removable battery! It was their contention, and I tend to agree, that it simply became unseated within the case, although I hadn't dropped it. fine. new phone. I once again unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP and cyanogenmod 10. used it for a day (which was quite cold and humid, but I was inside primarily) and the audio stopped working. No music, no in-call audio. While frantically texting customers, I managed to download the nightly cyanogen update and flash it. My in-call audio came back, but ringtones, notifications, music, games and all other possible audio remained null.
I unrooted it by running the RUU in a virtual machine (I use a mac) and, even returned to stock, no sound. In-call audio remained (thank god). I took it in again and after the obligatory sea of clerical errors, sprint ordered me a new one. I really don't want to go through this again. I love the phone, but business is suffering. Is it possible that either of these issues were my fault? I've heard the inside of the M7 is quite convoluted and littered with coaxial cables like older HTCs and I did drop the second one twice. It had a nice case and simply slid out of the angled, inside breast pocket of my coat maybe three feet onto the floor each time. No such occurrence on the first. It makes sense what some are saying that the sound card simply became disconnected inside the case, but now I'm wondering if I'm mussing the root up somehow. My new phone will be here in a few days and I'm simply never going to use Sense 5. I'd rather eat discarded blowpops out of a sandbox. How can I make sure this doesn't happen again? Is it possible that these are both hardware defects and I'm the most unlucky customer ever? I see minimal cases of the latter issue occurring on the stock ROM, but it does happen. Usually it is fixable however. Mine was definitely not. Are these phones as unreliable as they have been for me? They seem to really impress even the picky crowd, so I'm thinking no. Help! Were these really both hardware issues, or did I mess them up?

Longest post I've ever seen. LOL

I would unlock, root, and S-off your new device as soon as you get it, and try something different. CM10 is pretty outdated as it is, and even if you are hesitant to go to a newer version for fear of having a less stable experience, there are plenty of 10.2 ROMs that should be stable. Not only that, but there are numerous stock-based ROMs that will offer a great user experience with the ability to disable sense or remove it completely. RENOVATE is a great choice for that sort of experience. If you are looking to try something new, my latest build of Beanstalk is 4.4.2, CM based, and offers a lot of custom features not found in most other ROMs here at M7SPR. It does have some small bugs here and there, but nothing that impedes your ability to use it as a daily driver. Not pimping my own build, mind you, just offering options. So, give something new a try and hope for the best is my advice. Oh, and try harder not to drop the damn thing.
Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the advice!:highfive: Out of curiosity, why do you say to get s-off instead of just HTCdev unlock? Also, I find alot of files that I assume are for the m7wls with m7spr in the title. I don't really not follow most of what people have posted about the different modes and titles, but I gather that as long as the ROM says m7 and is a CDMA version I'm good? I'm going to superglue this new one to my hand. not really. I need to be more careful though. never had a nice phone before. I would like one that has kitkat... I never had that phase of, "I hope I don't mess my phone up," with the EVO, but I like the one so much that I find I'm apprehensive about ROMs now. For the sake of calming my paranoia, what do you think the likelihood is that either of those issues had to do with CM10? It feels low to me since I unrooted and the problem persisted on the second one. Do you use your kitkat mod? I kinda do want kitkat and I'm such a fan of CM. admittedly partially because I like the color, but still. I like it. Where can I download?

[Q] HTC One M7 bottom speaker not working at all

Ok so I just updated my Sprint HTC One to Android 5.0 Lolipop and about 24 hours later my bottom speaker is not working at all. I have not dropped the phone and I have not seen/heard signs that my speaker is fixing to blown. I am wondering if this is a hardware or software issue. I am waiting for a response from HTC about this. Any help will be very appreciated.

i'm having the same issue, except i'm on an ATT htc one with ARHD 90.0 ROM. Have you found a fix?

try this, if this doesnt fix it then I dont know, huess you'll have to wait to hear back from HTC, please post their answer, but they are not going to cover a custom rom at all: http://www.htc.com/uk/support/content.aspx?id=7652

It doesn't have anything to do with the browser, and i don't have, let alone use, Chrome (for me at least)

Same here, I did not notice it till now, I have been playing with different roms, and also Zero infinity and intense blast...I will try to troubleshoot and share results here.
