Hi guys,
For those unfortunate owners of HTC HD7? Any updates on the camera and sound issues.
The camera does not focus properly on distant objects not very far though.
The sound on the speakers is weak during calls. Need a booster app.
Thanks,
Get the Sound Enhancer app in the HTC Hub. I haven't used it yet but it gets good reviews.

Do you even own a HTC HD7. the sound enhancer app is just to control equalizer settings.

I'd highly recommend re-thinking your thread starting structure. You're not going to get many answers if you begin like this.
I personally believe (and you'll probably find 99% of other users who frequent the HD7 section of these forums feel the same) that there isn't a better device on the market today. So to call us "unfortunate owners" is kind of insulting.
But i'll tell you what i've told others on similar threads, i personally haven't noticed any problems with the camera and i haven't really noticed the volume not being loud enough. Perhaps it's due to personal use, or maybe you've got a dodgy device, i dunno.

Yes, I do own an HD7, and no, it's not really for just EQ settings. In fact, unless I'm mistaken, you only get EQ options when you use headphones.
It allows you to Choose Dolby or SRS for both Audio and Video. Equalizer specifically says for headphones or external speakers only. If you want to lump Dolby and SRS into that definition, fine.
All I can say, is that it makes quite a difference when playing youtube or netflix. Quite noticable.
( I use SRS )
you guys know if the htc 7 surround has a better camera? i heard the camera on this was horrid. may be getting the hd7 soon

Same here. What i would like to see is Windows Phone 7 OS on nokia devices. that would be a real winner and viable threat to Apple and Google.
But that is never going to happen i guess.

To be honest it isn't like he isn't somewhat justified. I mean how can you mess up the speaker and camera on a phone that is nearly identical to its predacesor. My old school touch pro 2 speaker must be at least 3 times louder than this and the camera is just a joke. I put it side by side with an hd2 and it was like night and day.

its mostly to do with the software. yeah i had the htc pure and the speaker was awesome in it. the camera is awesome on my mytouch 4g, the software is also awesome on sense. WP7 has sh*t camera software. thats all our cameras our pretty much, crappy cameras, and software to make them look good. Nokia is the only company that has made cell phone camera that are actually good without the software. and the touch pro two had two speakers in the back, or thats what i remember lol. it was one of the big features of it, just like the HTC surround. the HD7 has the big screen, thats the feature. HTC wont put all their quality into one phone cause then nobody would but the rest. you want good speaker - surround, you want big screen - HD7, you want awesome keyboard - HTC 7 pro, etc. they wont make a phone with a nice keyboard, perfect screen size, amoled screen, good speaker all into one. the closest they got is the incredible.

I know how you feel. I hate the camera and speakers. Honestly, if this phone wasn't free and didn't look so damn impressive I would have sold it.
and if i didn't hate my touchpro 2 so much. i was ready to take anything

Can you please post the link to that review?
There is no link in your post.
Could anyone who have a HTC One test it with Rightmark or some other program and post their results here?
Anybody here with some decent headphones?

It is awesome. Let me explain why. The soundchip used in Boomsound speakers are not only for speakers. HTC intigrated that technology into headphone jack too so you get that high quality sound when you plug in your headphones too.
Yep, I tried it, crystal clear.
I suppose that GSMArena review isn't that reliable, seen their comparsion S4 vs HTC One and audio quality there is from some other galaxy
Could anyone support me with some more reliable audio test, i'm very interested in HTC One headphone audio quality? (With some decent headphones, like B&W C5)
Comparison threads are against forum rules
But it's not really a comparsion thread, we are just trying to find out how good the HTC One perform with headphones.
Could anyone post a good audio review (not GSMArena) or post the Rightmark results here made by themeselves?
You're comparing the audio quality against other phones, which is very subjective
But feel free to carry on, dont mind me
You just like to see the world burn? lol ok nevermind
So any one with One how is the audio?
So any updates?

Haven't check yet as my pre-order will be coming in the next days....although I have DNA and have compare it with Samsung's s3 & note 2.....and iPhone5...my conclusion is that the sound is by far the best on HTC.....iPhone has also good sound....not as good though...in the other hand Samsung sound is crap...I don't have any hate about Samsung or anything but is one level below in that matter.......Droid DNA uses the extra amp for headphones that reported on One...so I believe if its not equal with DNA will be better......trust me I had the first Device with beats by HTC the sensation xe....the extra amp on my DNA and one x+ was a major update to the sound.....finally it's a personal matter to everyone....hope to helped....

I'm going to get shouted at for this.
I have a pair of Dre Beats Studios, and iPhone 5 and HTC One, and a recent memory of a HTC One X, now sold.
With the Beats Equalizer on through a pair of Studios, it sounds absolutely fantastic, better than my HP DV6. Things aren't so good when you turn that equalizer off, however that's more due to the fact that that sound enhancement was designed to be used with a pair of Dre Beats
As for the iPhone, I find it's audio to be a bit tinny when played through the Dre Beats. I think the sound level is slightly higher on the iPhone, but to me the HTC One wins everytime. And if it's vs boomsound, I think we know who wins :victory:
HTC one with audio technica m50 (actual good headphones not marketing) the sound is brilliant using spotify on high quality, I will test on my iPhone today before I sell it
Hi I bought the HTC One developer edition
Phone is awesome but there is one problem
However, the audio has a crackling sound and pops when listening through speakers. Also, there is a hissing sound when using earphones. I listen to alot of music and videos so this is very annoying.
I have read that the carrier models don't have this problem as much ass the developer edition.
Is this true? should i buy the at&t 64gb model online and sell my current one?
I can buy a different htc one developer edition but what if it has same problem?

any opinions lol
I have the Sprint version and have noticed occasional popping from the speakers. Haven't really used headphones with it. If it is constant you may want to get another but if it's just here and there like mine than it may just be a general issue with the phone.

Thanks for your response. My worry is that I'll get another and the same problem will appear.
If problem persists, I may just get the S4 which is unfortunate since the one is such a great phone.
Hi there,
Ever since the update to Kitkat 4.4.2 on the HTC One M7, I noticed drastic changes in sound. Before that Boomsound really sounded loud yet clear. I don´t hear the same amount of decibels as before or as HTC mentioned "Blast the volume you deserve, from an audio system you have to hear to believe." Yet, I don´t hear that much as before... not to mention the fact that lots of phones are way louder all of the sudden where as before they were not.
Earlier HTC was also playing to its audio strengths as for the HTC One M7 - BoomSound for the front-facing stereo speakers, which are said to blast out up to 93dB. Now does not even come close to this.
Now that I want to find a solution to this problem, I would like to initiating a petition to this matter for everyone whom has the same problem. This petition is for a update for HTC One m7s Boomsound.

But the HTC One M7 doesn't have BoomSound. It has Beats Audio???
It has both BoomSound and Beats Audio.
To tell you the truth, I also noticed a drop in sound loudness - meaning that before (but I don't recall whether the 4.4.2 update or even the 5.0) I could show my friends videos, even in in loud environments, and you could still hear the sound. Now, not so much. With the volume on max.

No need for petitions as it won't get anywhere HTC dropped beats and maybe even boomsound , if you want louder sound look up project era for HTC m7 best audio improvements

HTC nerfed the audio level in one of the first ota update back in 2013. Reason: to much blown speakers. So make your decision. you want louder sound + blown speaker or slightly quieter and no problem with your speakers?
which are said to blast out up to 93dB. Now does not even come close to this.

So you have measured with a sound meter? Do you know how HTC measured it? Directly at the speaker? At the standard one meter distance? I would not be surprised to learn that they have measured directly at the speaker to come with a more impressive number. 93db is really loud, for comparison a lawn mower at one meter distance is 90db. Do our phones really need 93db when you are holding it 1 foot from your head? Are you listening to music from your phone while mowing the lawn or when you are at less then 150ft distance of a B737 taking off? Maybe but I think most of consumers doesn't need that much sound power in everyday usage. There might be some situation where it could be useful, I agree, but not enough to start a (disputable) petition for a 2 years old phone lol.

I would honestly suggest you to put time and effort on something else than this petition. This will not change anything anyway. As an alternative, there are some sound mod available here to boost the sound level if you are ok with the risk to damage your speakers.
Looking for a stereo sound mod for the front speakers (626s). I have one on my Galaxy S4 (which has the main speaker on the back) and figured there would be a similar mod for these faux dual front-facing speakers. Surprisingly not yet?
Good question.. I've seen similar mods for different devices and it'd definitely be cool to get it here, as the phone lacks volume (even with Viper4A).
I've already downloaded a few different variations of this mod for different devices and am dissecting their guts looking for differences.. They all just seem to modify or replace mixer_paths.xml. Hell, i might just nandroid and start flashing for gits and shiggles lol. Let me know if you find anything?
Oh and by the way, are you same dragonhart from the Desire 510 section?
