Good stuff. Compared to the voodoo nexus, how does the the One X do when it comes to detail, sound stage and instrument separation? assuming "beats" is off, does it have a colored sound signature or is it flat/accurate?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] crabnebula:
Well I can assure you it is clearly audible with my device and IEMs. I also tried with several cheaper IEMs I have around the house and I get the same result.

If I play a completely silent (computer generated) WAV file, the noise is inaudible, though I do hear the amplifier turning on and off. However the noise becomes obvious when any low signal is played, so it is noticeable in very quiet passages.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I hear no noise whatsoever through my Shure SE530 or E5C IEMs, or through my AKG K240MKII cans. Very happy with the sound from this phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] crabnebula:
Overall I'd say that apart from the noise, any differences are slight and won't detract from the listening experience. To me the frequency response is very similar to the Galaxy S (ie, flat), but mids/vocals sound a little more transparent.

Compared to Wolfson/Voodoo, the sound stage on the One X feels a little wider/more open and separation is perhaps a bit better too, but there is also a slight harshness/sibilance and the details are a little bit less refined. Again, the differences are small and I'm just giving you my own impressions.

If it weren't for the noise -- that apparently only I hear :-) -- I'd be perfectly happy with the One X. I actually prefer it on some material because it just feels more transparent/open.

Regarding the noise.

Just an example of a track where I hear obvious hiss on the One X and nothing on the Nexus S :

Artist: Destroyer

Album: Kaputt

Song: Bay of Pigs

On this track hiss is easily audible for at least the first minute.

I'll try to post other examples from more mainstream stuff later on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] crabnebula:
UPDATE: I repeated the below measurements with a new USB sound card (a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6) and obtained a different result one the One X. Please see new post later in this thread.

---------------------------------------

For those of you who are interested, I used RMAA and my M-Audio Firewire 410 audio interface to record and analyze the following:

- Samsung Nexus S with Voodoo Sound

- HTC One X LTE with sound processing off

- HTC One X LTE with Beats audio on (headphone set to Other)

I used supercurio's new app that plays a RMAA test signal to do this. Also, I repeated each test twice to verify that my results were accurate.

Note that on the One X, the output level doesn't go beyond -10dB when volume is at maximum, so I adjusted the Nexus S to -10 dB, even though it can go higher.

I have no idea if my methodology is sound, but I'd say the frequency response speaks for itself.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sassafras_:
Awesome, thanks!

So, the HTC is tuned for a non-flat response, no wonder it sounds so wrong to me. I wonder if this is software and can be fixed?

sassafras
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ThisWasATriumph:
The picture is a bit misleading because with beats off, it's still only a deviation of ~1 decibel. I don't think that is discernible by the human ear.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] crabnebula:
Deviations are fairly small (+/-1 dB), but no, it clearly isn't flat.

I suppose you could use an equalizer to flatten the response. Does anyone know of a system-wide equalizer?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mesasone:
This is correct, the human ear has trouble discerning differences of less than 3 dB. While far from perfect, the results seem reasonable and I would suspect would be fairly easy to correct with the right tools/methods.

I'm not exactly sure what Supercurio did with Voodoo sound, but on the Captivate you could adjust the levels via hex input in the service menu. I always suspected this is what Voodoo sound was doing, but never really followed up to find out. Perhaps we have a similar option available.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] crabnebula:
Some studies suggest 0.5 to 1 dB in overall volume is discernible to certain people. Not sure about variations in a frequency response spectrum, but the easy way to check is to play around with an equalizer.

Still, I don't think it matters too much. I still find the One X has good sound, except for the annoying hiss.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mesasone:
FWIW, here is the methology GSM Arena uses for their audio quality tests: http://www.gsmarena.com/latest_features-review-171p2.php

Sadly, they didn't do audio testing in their review of the AT&T One X, but they did for the international One X and the One S.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raytraceme:
COuld you do a test using power amp instead and include srs sound enhancement because to me poweramp is better than stock att one x music player.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sassafras_:
You miss the point of the RMAA. The frequency response should be the flat white line. Anything else indicates the device has colored the sound and is subject to the listeners subjective bias on what sounds 'good'.

I can understand some deviation on the 'beats' setting, but for stock? That is silly.

sassafras
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Isn't 1 dB double the intensity? (Because it's a logarithmic scale) I would hope you could discern that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rancor22:
Actually 6 dB would be a twice as loud a 1dB increase is about a 12% increase.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
...The more you know! :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] crabnebula:
For your info, I didn't use the stock music player. I used supercurio's new app called "Voodoo Audio measurement play", which ensures that the test signal (it has built-in flac audio files) isn't altered by any processing during playback.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raytraceme:
oh ok I didn't know thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] belyle:
I hear the white noise, too. I find that it's really obvious with IEM of any quality. To hear it for yourself, try plugging in your headphones, but not starting any music. Then, start playing a song (I use Google Play Music, but also hear it in Pandora). I find that the white noise is especially noticeable at low volumes (I tend to listen to my music one or two clicks above mute). It is much worse when 'beats' is active than when I leave 'beats' off.

Without having the phone handy for AB comparison, I do remember the Nexus S (with Voodoo) having far superior sound quality, at least with respect to noise.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Xodium:
I think Samsung includes better DACs in their phones. I took my AKG K271s and listened to both my Focus and the One X. And while the One is definitely alright for listening, the Focus just knocks it out of the park. I can't exactly find a descriptive word for it, but the sound just sounds...better.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mesasone:
It depends on what you are measuring. If you're measuring power, then 3dB would be a doubling - if you're measuring voltage then 6dB would be correct. Typically these readings are going to involve some kind of load, so you'll be looking at power out.

Also as an aside, it takes an approximately 10 dBm increase to make something twice as "loud".
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] crabnebula:
Thanks for confirming that you hear the noise too. Indeed, Beats increases the noise substantially and this is probably due to the spike in high frequencies that it creates, as seen in the frequency response. The Nexus S is dead silent with respect to noise when you compare both side by side.

I'll be very curious to see how the North American Galaxy S III performs compared to the One X, given that it is also based on the same S4 processor.

In the end, I absolutely love the One X as a phone, and will I'll probably endure its slight deficiencies in SQ unless the S3 is much better.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lamenramen:
I can confirm that the One X (tegra 3 version) has a vastly inferior sound chip.

I have an iPhone 4, and upon switching, I immediately noticed a difference. In fact, noticing this difference without any prior reading is what drove me to look for this thread.

The difference is not placebo, and it's not a matter of what my ears are used to. I gave the One X a good 2 week exclusive listen, and I did not like what I heard. The iPhone 4's sound quality is far better, and it's hard to describe but it's got deeper, tighter, denser bass; better balance, more overall volume, everything is more controlled. It just sounds right; the One X I found to fatiguing. Listening through $300 headphones.

I hear that the One XL is much nicer, along with far better battery life, which would completely fix my two biggest gripes with the One X Tegra 3 version. Ain't no way that the Tegra 3 will fix these qualities. The processor sucks juice, period. The sound chip isn't going to magically improve, either. As an aside, I agree that Beats is a complete lie, and if I was judge and jury, I'd prosecute them for false advertising. There's marketing, and then there's beats.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DesirableDesire:
Is it just me or does everyone get the buzzing sort of noise when they are plugged into power and have the headphones in with nothing playing, and it is still there when listening to something also. It annoys me so much and I have to unplug my phone whenever listening to something. Holding my finger on the camera lens stops the noise but this is uncomfortable, and the noise returns as soon as I lift my finger. I'm guessing it's some sort of electrical interference. It only happens when it is plugged into AC power, not when in my computer via usb.

Is it just me or does everyone have this annoying noise? It's not something which you have to listen closely for.

UPDATE: It only happens when plugged into the HTC adapter that came with my phone, just tried plugging the cord into an iPhone power adapter and there is no background buzzing sound.. Is this happening with anyone else? Maybe it is just mine, or maybe its just the Australian ones?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ThisWasATriumph:
The bundled adapter I found to be extremely poor quality in regards to electrical noise. Causes the touchscreen to go all wacky and headphone noise. Plus the cord's way too short. Haven't used it since I got it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Assuming the audio has JUST stopped (within 1 second) yes there is a buzz, but this has nothing to do with the ac adapter and is set to stop after one second. If yours continues to buzz after that 1 second and nothing is playing I'd say that's odd. I'm also not sure why the camera lense would affect it either.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DesirableDesire:
This must be different, because this is as soon as the headphones are plugged in the noise is present. I'm guessing holding the finger on the lens is some sort of grounding or something because it stops if I hold my finger on the exposed part of the headphone connecter in the headphone jack.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aznrice2k4:
Has anyone tried neutron and lowering the latency to 23?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] crabnebula:
I repeated measurements with a new USB audio interface (a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6) and obtained different results for the One X LTE.

The frequency response is now almost identical to what GSMArena obtained for the HTC One S, which is what we should expect given that they use the same hardware.

Since this is a newer audio interface, and my older one is now dead, I'd say the previous results were probably due to that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Well that settles it, the phone has a good DAC. Which makes sense considering how good it sounds on my sennheisers.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aznrice2k4:
One thing that. I've noticed is that with beats enabled there's this static in the background. The white noise becomes even more noticeable when I enable dither in neutron. I'm using neutron 64bit version and I gotta say wow this is almost comparable to my infuse with voodoo sound and neutron.

Poor Audio Quality

I have One Xl Hong Kong CID _602

This Phone Has Worst audio quality in both speakers & earphones i have ever heard,,i am on jb 4.1.1 stock

My previous phones S2,htc one v,sony xperia u had way better quality

On full volume there are lot of distortions

When i connect with aux cable with my car,its extremely low & poor

Htc Sensation Has way better sound than one xl
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
What exactly do you hope to gain from posting a rant like that? That isn't constructive at all. If you don't like the phone, sell it and buy something else but don't complain about it here, that isn't what these forums are for.

I have no problems with the audio output from my Evita, I use decent headphones. Nobody needs to read a post like that, plus you revived a thread that was dead for nearly two years just to say that, which is another no-no on XDA.

Hi all sometimes my keyboard doesn't work properly.

For a example I have to press "n" two times to make it working ( also with others letters) if not it doesn't type letter.. What should I do?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnricoTFYKD:
I'm having a similar issue with the letter "T". Probably, I'll just open it up and clean with compressed air and/or isopropyl alcohol. That should definitely work. :p

I think that dust can easily enter through the opening in the case for the flex cable that connects the two halves, and that the dust stuck under keyboard buttons isn't good for their responsiveness.

Using EE Neutrino ROM right now.

Can you make the wallpaper for the lockscreen to be different from the wallpaper from the homescreen?

How can you change the unlock style? I have this ball I have to drag to the other side right now to unlock the screen. Is there a sliding bar? Or maybe a drag up the entire lockscreen picture type unlocker like Windows Phone 7 does?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidRunner:
All within CyanogenMod settings. Not sure about the lockscreen wallpaper. But you can definitely have the sliding bar. No WM7 lockscreen though, unless you get WidgetLocker.
