Noise cancellation

Does this phone have a secondary noise cancelling microphone or does it use software cancellation? Also how good is the noise cancellation regardless of the method used?

I could not find a second mic on the device.

I think it's software noise cancellation, but today I called someone in the street with lots of car, and my speaker didn't eared any cars.
So it seems to work correctly !

O2X has TWO microphone (second - near with top caller speaker). Let's see a service manual.

Speaker not very loud.

The speaker isn't loud enough to hear the person I'm talking to so I have to use the external speaker and I really don't like everyone else hearing my conversations with other people.I've heard this is a problem with the bionic.Any input would be a help.

Are the speakers really that loud?

I keep hearing how these speakers are suppose to be so loud but mine don't really seem to get that loud, not sure if something is wrong with mine or others are just over exaggerating, I was trying to show them off to a buddy at work and played a YouTube video and we could barely hear it, so then I played some songs straight out of the internal memory and it wasn't really to much louder, I got the volume turned all way up and beats audio on, maybe there is some other eq somewhere I don't know about? My old evo 4g was almost just as loud

The one I am sending back were not that loud, but they would fade in and out to really loud to barely being able to hear. Also the crackling.

Mine are really loud with no crackling. The first time I got a notification it was startling how loud they were. Games sound amazing.

Won't be able to say for sure until I get mine Monday, but I went to the sprint store and played with the display today. I think the speakers are a touch over hyped. They are definitely louder than any phone I've had personally...but didn't seem like some people make them out to be.
Again, I'll know for sure Monday..

The speakers for me are very loud and clear. It's hard to believe they are on a phone

Mine are extremely loud, my wife and a few coworkers have been taken aback by them. Yesterday my wife texted me while she was upstairs and I was down. After her first text she tested right afterwards telling me to turn my phone down because she could hear it from up there.

For phone speakers they are very loud and clear and people are not exaggerating. You're phone may be alright, you may just have unrealistic expectations for what they can do with tiny speakers in a handset.
My Note II is about as loud but doesn't sound anywhere near as good.

Honestly mine are appropriately loud if that makes sense, well except for when turned down to lowest volume they are STILL kind of loud. It's kind of startling how loud it is, I actually jump sometimes from getting a text or email because it's just abruptly loud. It is something to get used to, but it seems you may have to return yours because it does seem there is something wrong.
A good rule of thumb for max volume on the HTC One speakers is that it should "fill the room" with sound. I can play mine max volume in my room at the other end of the house and hear it perfectly fine while in the kitchen.

I bought one of these when I got my One. I'm use to hearing things this loud so I don't expect much from phone speakers. Ring tones and notifications are crazy loud. Music isn't to crazy on my phone. I usually have my goodie bag of stuff, extra charger, external battery, this speaker, ipad, twinkles, you know the usual.

Are you running a Rom? Viperrom has the bootsound disabled by default. I have a flashable zip to reenable it

No unrooted stock

Mines is no sound also, completely stock still.

Oddly enough, mine also didn't have a sound when stock.

Was your phone on silent or vibrate before you rebooted? I swear it disables the start up sound but I could be wrong. It annoyed me so I deleted the sound file anyway.
Also, I wish the max volume could be lowered. The minimum volume is still freaking loud.

After having the phone a couple weeks or so now, and letting the epic feeling wear off. I've realized that while the speakers sound pretty good, HTC "boomsound" is a letdown.
My girlfriends s3 is just as loud but doesn't sound as good. Tonight the power went out at work at we gathered in the break room..a bunch of us starting watching YouTube videos. Granted I could barely load any with Sprints crappy network (and most definitely not hq) but when it did play, some dudes crappy LG was drowning my "boomsound" completely out.
The speakers are loud and do have a better sound than a lot of phones, but they are over rated. I like them, but I'm still slightly disappointed

I also found my speakers weren't incredible loud, the quality was amazing for being on a phone, but if i'm in an environment where people are talking, or outside and it's windy at all i have a hard time hearing the phone, but it is consistent, no fading or crackling or anything

What is a headset blocker and why does your music player change songs when it hears noise?

When i plug in headphones, insted of just the headphone icon at top it shows the headset icon with microphone. By doin that i think it enables voice commands therefor when it hears a noise it changes songs. Headset blocker blocks it from going into headset mode

I know there is an option in Google Now to listen for bluetooth mic, plug your headset in and see if it gives an option for that mic.

I have the same exact problem. Wizdroid doesn't work. I can use the HTC headphones or a pair of BOSE headphones (with microphone) that I have. Regardless, if it hears any kind of external noise, it'll start changing songs, or stopping music or dialing phone numbers. It's really annoying. I can't even put it in my pocket and walk around, it'll start dialing phone numbers. I have to keep it steady and not move the wire around in order for them to work properly.

I think I'm just going to switch mine out since it's still under warranty. I have a lot of other problems with the phone too (camera tint, starting to feel some lag, my boomsound isn't as loud as other htc one's, etc.)
Does anyone know if Sprint stores do warranty exchanges? I really don't want to send my phone in to HTC and wait for them to send it back to me.

From past experience, unless you have the insurance you will need to send it in if its past the first 14 days. I had a problem with the camera on my E4G and the would not range it even thought it was under warranty.

Rear Speaker?

My rear Speaker is really weak. Talking on speakerphone with any background noise renders it useless. Is this just my model or others have the same issues?

Mine is pretty similar. As well as my friend who has one on T-Maybe (hahaha). It vibrates at full volume.

It's a bummer. I don't expect the world from every phone but at this point the least we could get in such a premium is a decent speaker. Kind of pisses me off.

Every review I've watched so far said this has one of the loudest loudspeakers ever. Weird.

Yeah well its possible I just have a defective speaker.

I have to agree on it being a loud speaker. Earlier this evening I just streamed from music from the Play Music app and it was remarkably loud and clear.
Sure, it was no BoomSound and you could for sure tell that the sound source was a cell phone, but it was definitely one of the better speakers I've encountered on a phone.

Put me in the unhappy with the S5 speaker column. yes, it can be "loud" but it often seems "tinny" with distracting vibrations through the back cover that make the device seem hollow. subjective opinion obviously

On my second one. Both, same observation as yours. Loud as Hell, but "tinny" and the '"rattle" when turned up is really, really disturbing. Also, does anyone else feel a "bumping" of the speaker through the center of the back of the phone when on loudspeaker and/or playing media? It's almost like the phone's back is going to blow off due to this heavy beating from the sound through the back-casing. Again, second specimen; same issue(s)...
