anyone else with similar issues?
the HD2 had AWESOME sound, and this phone has a ****ty speaker. this is a BIG NO NO for me as it will lead me to stray from this HD7
sound fix
go into the htc hub and download the sund enhancer app..the settings will definitely improve the sound
Even with sound enhancer it sounds like crap. I'm trying to give my hd7 back to handler.

+1. Calling it crap is ridiculous. It's just too damn quiet. The headphones that come with the HD7 are excellent though. I wish there was a way to make the speakers louder too though...
I wouldn't be suprised if the speakers are exactly the same as the ones in the hd2.
Seems for somethings they are loud and decent, and for others you can barely hear.
It would be nice if they would make the sound volume consistent across the phone.
Must agree that the phone speakers are rubbish, but i guess HTC and MS want us to use headphones with it like apple,
as you know they seem to have copied the best of both apple and android with this device

My iPhone and iPad speakers are loud enough to share a video or game with others. With the HD7 it's embarrasing sharing a video when you can barely hear it yourself and that's with the vol at max and hand cupped around the back trying to amplify the sound.
The quality is indeed crappy BUT has anyone noticed that there just a few days ago there was a Sound Enhancer update? I did it and it sounds slightly louder when it comes to notifications. I am not a fan on playing music/video through speaker and I use my Sennheiser headphones when it comes to listening. And boy turning SRS on it sounds like my legendary N91 ! And that was one of the musts for me.
But, indeed, it would have been cool to have a decent speaker.
i returned the HD7 because of the crappy speaker. gonna wait for another WP7 release with a louder speaker
Yes, poor it is.
When I put it into the pocket, I always let the camera side face outside, bcz the speaker is next to the camera, otherwise can bearly hear the incoming calls.

This is so NOT cool.
People are idiots because they expect their expensive devices to function the way they've been advertised to function?
Really?!
I don't think this is even a case of expecting everything for nothing. There are standards and these companies that want our hard-earned money need to adhere to them instead of spending millions of dollars on misleading AD campaigns; telling everyone that their devices are the best thing since sliced bread, but are too greedy to do any real QA on them because time to market is short and besides, they're really only concerned about the bottom-line.
Quality loudspeakers on a cellphone is one of the least things you should expect from a phone these days. Every smart AND dumb phone out there has a speakerphone. Its not rocket science.
For crying out loud, these jokers even designed to phone in such a way as to EMPHASIZE the speaker grilles on the top and bottom of the phone.
And yet the sound is obviously tinny and pathetic.
And by the way, downloading software tweaks to make your phone work the way its supposed to work right out of the box doesn't make you smart...it makes you the guy who paid HTC for the privilege of doing their work for them.
Congratulations!
Speakerphone on this phone is just plain embarrassing.
My g/f has the LG Optimus 7 and when is on a call on full volume and NOT on speakerphone it's actually louder than me ON speakerphone.
Now how bad is that?

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.

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

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've owned 2 pairs of Sennheiser CX300, the I and the II and I've been terribly happy with them, until this morning when my 3-year old CX300 IIs said bye bye. One side went mute and there seems not to be anything wrong with the cable... twisting an turning it all along its length does nothing. On the way to work, this morning they worked fine, as did they every day for the past 3 years.
Now they pretty much died so I need new earbuds.
What would you recommend for replacement, under $40, cheaper the better?
I found these Panasonic earbuds for very cheap at a local store and reviews are pretty good. But the price being so low - I can get them for $8 - makes me a bit skeptical of their quality.

i do use a pair of skullcandy jib, i've bought them for about €9.99, and i use them woth the EQ set on "raise trebles" or whatever is in english (i'm from .it XD)
don't know, i'm fully satisfied, maybe you'll find a fit with them
Best way is always to test each set before buying, although it is becoming increasingly difficult even on more expensive equipment. Some more information on your preferences would help though. Open or canalphones, bright/flat/bassy, etc.
In general though, the Yuin PK2 or PK3s for open sets and i've heard nothing but good from the Brainwavz M1/M2 for canalphones as all-rounders. Do some research and if possible listen to them with your phone, the best way to find out which set you like best.
There isn't much good for less than what those cost, so probably your best bet.
Yeah, I should've provided more info.
I'm looking for in-ear buds, with those silicone/rubber things that mold to your ear canal. I love how they isolate outside sounds and I find them very comfortable. Soundwise I'd like them to be as flat as possible.
Regarding trying them out... there are very few stores here that would let me open a sealed box to test the speakers so that's why I'm asking instead of just going shopping.
Also I don't care all that much for volume/play/skip controls on the cable... actually I rather they don't have any.
I personally have the CX300-IIs so i know what you're after (they have a very nice sound for the price, comfort and durability, and slightly bassy just how i like it), though i too don't have anywhere nearby to audition so i can't help you with the specific sounds of alternatives. Don't know how much products would cost you either.
There is however alot of great information that you can find through forums like headfi and hydrogenaudio. There is one retailer in Aus that has also been alot of help for me and many i know in choosing equipment, so you can also have a look at the descriptions, recommendations and forum posts over at Headphonic. One of the most objective places on the net for headphones, though just remember it is still essentially a retailer.
IMHO the CX300-II are nothing near "flat". But if you like boomy bass, warm sound signature, but with a better sound quality, try ViSang R02.
Really cheap with great sound quality?? Philips SHE3570

Thanks, but as I said previously I'm ruling out anything that colors the sound too much and "boomy bass, warm sound" is exactly that.
In this moment, I'm using 'that' panasonic earbud. It's just awesome, for this price it's the best. If I will ever buy another earbud, it's because it doesn't have a mic. For music, it is perfect. Oh, and don't forget to use Voodoo sound! I also flashed HTC's Beats audio btw...
The CX300s are definitely not flat, they do push more towards a warm, slightly boomy but not overpowering sound. Whether it is similar to the Alpha-series Brainwavz i wouldn't know.

Lol nevermind, it's subjective anyway
I don't own the cx300-II, but from what I've read they aren't the best headphones for flatness. Actually, I think they are known to appeal to bass lovers.
I'd say get the "Soundmagic e30" for budget and "Hifiman RE-0" for something a bit pricier. personally, I really like the energetic sound offered by my Klipsch S4's though they are definitely not flat.
I absolutely love my Beta Brainwavz. They're pretty cheap, and the quality is good. I've had mine for over a year and some, and they've only been getting better the more I burn them in.
I use Bose IE2 and it is really good except for one thing, price. It seems to be too expensive. It sure has a quality that matches it's price but it may be too expensive for most people.

Klipsch Promedia can be had for under $40 if you check Slickdeals, etc.
Got mine on sale from Tigerdirect a while ago for $25.
They are relatively unknown which is a shame because they are the exact same thing as the more popular and expensive, S4/S4i model. They use the same drivers.
For the price you can't do better.
If you are willing to go over the ear route, Koss Portapros are the budget cans to get.
Hope this helps.

Looking for a good BT headset. I don't use them much, but am moving to a place that prohibits holding my phone in the car. My primary criteria is good voice functionality. I'd like to be able to do as much as possible without touching the phone, and preferably without touching the earpiece. Call quality should be good, but doesn't have to be best in class or anything. Mono is fine. Keep in mind that I have a very full beard, so the headset can't depend on facial contact.
I've been poring over reviews and just can't make any sense of them, so I thought I'd ask. (Motorola CommandOne seems a decent buy)
Thanks!

Thanks, I had read Vectron's review but decided it seemed more music oriented than call oriented. I'll revisit that.
Edit: Ok, now I remember the problems. It's a beard thing. On me, the mic and controls will sit under my beard. That will make it difficult to use and will probably severely diminish call quality. Darn, looks like a good one, but not worth shaving for.

I wonder about mic placement on that. I *think* it's in the control unit and is meant to be clipped to your shirt. If so, that means the mic is going to be sitting down on my belly. Maybe too far away? I think I may need to stick with one of the mono units. Jawbone is out due to needing skin contact if I've understood their tech correctly.
