Hi,
While calling people there have been several complaints that my voice is very low while on the phone has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks
Yes, a little bit, then I carry on talking and the other party manages to cope. I was assuming my case may play a little part in the problem, even though there is a small pin hole where the mic is.
My case is the official HTC One flip case... You?

Yes it's the same flip case. hmmm. I wonder if there is a way of improving it.
funny I dont get this even though the case covers the mic at the bottom of the phone.
I mentioned on another thread that there is a fault with every double dip flip case. The mic hole doesn't line up with the mic properly!

Dam. Might have to buy a new case.
The thing is I can see that the hole perfectly lines up with the hole from what I can see.

Which case you guys are talking about? The plastic cover which have 3 parts? Or the black flip case wich can let the phone stand up in landscape mode?

The case I am referring to with the issues is the flip case and NOT the one with three parts.
But im not even using a case right now, but im also getting people saying they can't hear me that good, sounds great on my end though.

Try to record your own voice with inbuilt recorder app than play and see. Check if you have case which covering Mic? Try to see if any residuel trap inside the mic hole try to use vaccume cleaner to suck from both Mic. Or try to talk with customer service number and talk very softly and ask if operator can hear your voice properly?, restart the phone and do the same and check if anything improved? Try to record your voice using camera and check. Hope this all step help

I'm having the same problem, I have narrowed it down to being the bottom mic, When in a call, using speaker phone the back mic is on and people can hear me. When headphones are in again, people can hear me, again though the back mic. But when I take out the headphones, and turn speaker off, people can't hear me, unless I'm talking directly into the bottom mic, but words get cut short. Hearing what it sounds like I'm thinking it's noise canalization going on..

Having the same exact problem. Using the voice recording app - the volume of a recording using the bottom mic is woefully low compared to using a headset to record.
When using the speaker to answer calls - doesn't exibit this behavior as bad due to the other external mic.
Everyone that is calling me is complaining that they can barely hear me and I think it has nothing to do with the carrier, but all to do with the phone.
My partner's phone is also doing this. Every time she answers a call the other person can't hear her and she almost has to yell. She does have the HTC Genuine case but I've tested calls without this on and still the same thing.
It is the Silver 32GB HTC One ordered through Handtec.
I guess you're talking about the official case which can hold up the phone like the case comes with GSIII ?
I saw two thread complaining the same issue in another forum. However, I have a similar case (but not THIS case) and don't have this problem.
why put on case on HTC One? geez

bad mic issue

e: it was a noise cancellation + hole blockage deal for me. seems alright now
I just tested mine and I can hear myself loud and clear.
people I call tell me it's like I am sitting next to them when I call

I have had other people tell me they can hear me, and I would move the phone and then they would say I'm perfectly clear.
I'm talking moving it a couple inches farther from my mouth. But then speakerphone works fine. I happen to believe it's cancellation taking us out as well.
Has anyone else encountered a rattling and/or ticking noise when they place their HTC One onto a firm surface (e.g. wooden table)?
It's quite easy to recreate by tapping the back of the phone - on the top half, near the camera - with your knuckle.
Possible causes: autofocus module, OIS, sim tray
I'd be very grateful to find out if anyone else has experienced the same, as I'm trying to work out whether it's just my phone or if it's normal!
Thank you!
It's the camera module as always, like u said autofocus module and there is a mechanical gyroscope element in the camera, your device is normal
Don't OCD
Yep, same problem here

I have the same rattle coming from the camera lens area. Easy to hear if you tap the top back edge of the phone. Seriously rattles hard when the phone vibrates, which if it is the focus I imagine can't be good for it. It also makes it sound a bit cheap with the rattle on vibrate as it's easily noticeable.
I was tossing and turning whether I should exchange it after setting the phone up for 2 days but looking around forums it seems like a common problem not limited to the HTC One. Great phone otherwise.

Mine does the same. Its the only issue I have with this phone, otherwise its an amazing phone. I have two friends in work with the same phone so I'm going ot see if they have the same issue too. Seems its on all of them so far so I wont do anything about it until I hear of a repair down the line.
Chimo
Every phone I've had in past 3yrs has some kind of rattle, just don't shake it

same here... a lot of phones have it. very annoying. My new htc one has it... not sure if i should exchange.. they might look at me like im crazy and tell them why i want to exchange
Every phone will rattle due to the auto focus. This is brought up every year and is a non issue .

Not just every HTC, every phone.
My htc one hasn't really got any rattle but my iPhone rattles like a child's rattle and so did my nexus4. But like you say nothing to worry about

Hi, due to several defects, many have chosen to send back the nexus 5 to receive a new one. infa89, a member of an Italian forum, had the following defects:
dancers and noisy buttons
SIM tray protruding
"cutting edge" display frame.
Comparing the old with the new phone, he noticed several differences, as you can see in the picture.
The new one has none of the above defects, it has
fixed buttons
larger microphone and speaker holes
more yellow display
green stuck pixels.
Someone else has noticed differences between his nexus and replaced one?
Mine has the small speaker holes, I bet that's why it buzzes through the whole phone.
Goddammit, now my phone feels second rate! :crying:
:laugh:
You know just yesterday I was looking at the speaker holes thinking they are probably too small to let the sound out easily.
RMA? Because of buzzy sound?
Edit...Yeah my buttons are fine too, and it's a 311
Oddly I have the tight fitting buttons, but the speaker/mic grille look to be the smaller ones.
I have a 311k btw

my 32 gb white had the small holes, rattling buttons, microphone problems during recording, as well as backlight bleeding.
I immediately sent it back, but still waiting for the new.

Where are you checking this?
seems like i should return my nexus 5 to goole
Not sure what mine is.
When i boot into the bootloader, there is something there that says:
HW VERSION - rev_11

By rattling buttons, you mean if you just shake the phone? Because mine rattle a little, but its not a problem. No backlight bleed or small holes though.

Hi,
On the box?:

EDIT: turn your head, I forgot to rotate the picture, sorry :laugh:
I have the larger speaker holes from the 16GB I purchased from Best Buy for Sprint but the original 32GB I ordered on the Play Store had the smaller holes. However, the volume on this new handset is much much worse.

I have no evidence to back this, but the couple I've seen from carriers all seem to be defect free while the ones from Google play seem to have issues. Esp the white ones. Just throwing out a random thought

I feel lucky now...got mine from play and it has the larger holes. I've been very pleased with everything...I did have a panic attack earlier when I dropped my phone and suddenly the vibrator stopped working...took my case off and heard a snap...I guess the cover came off or something? But now its working fine...
Only thing I noticed as far as defects is slight light bleeding on the edge of the screen in the corner. But I'm not anal enough to care...its only noticabke when the screen is black at night...

I got a black 16gb from rogers only it has is the rattling buttons wich is no big deal
310K or 311K only indicates the build date. HW Revisions is more important!

However it might be, that we are the "lucky" ones with small speaker holes and the "tightest loose" buttons maybe..?

OMG, i love this joke.
I'm not even kidding. It has been a running gag for months in my environment.
But back to the topic:
It wouldn't be surprised by updated "outer hardware" as the Nexus 4 also got updated with these "gummish-spike-thingies" on its back against slipping.
Does anyone else have a small hole that looks like a chip in the camera flash ring, top right? I've seen some press pictures without them and some that looks like it might be there. If it is, is it a microphone?
Yup. Microphone.
Thanks! That is what I thought since I've been careful with my precious. Then someone pointed it out to me and I freaked out a little.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
It's a noise canceling microphone if I recall correctly.
Yes. I have one too. Seems part of the design.
They could have put it in the damn center
Is anyone else having an issue with no sound coming from the bottom left speaker? I tried a sound test on Youtube and the top and bottom right speakers work. When something that should be playing out of the left, it just plays through the other two speakers. I also went into accessibility settings and set audio to play only from the left and it still only plays out the right and top speakers.
Try an audio track where you know where a particular sound should be.. left or right speaker...
Not a you tube track tho..

There is only one speaker on the bottom.
The other hole is a mic.

I was hoping for a reply like this and not that the device was faulty. Thank you for the quick answer. I'm coming from the Note 8 so I'm use to the design of the speaker/mic being different. Thanks again :good:

Sad to hear this, as initially it was reported that both of those would be speakers. Kind of disappointed, now.

yeah, no proof. I believe it was just initials speculation, since you don't need that many holes just for a microphone.

On the other hand those make it look very symmetric on the bottom.

I agree with this. At least the other holes are being used for something. Not like another certain OEM ,cough cough, OP...
