[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syserr0r:
Thanks :)

I do want to say that, since my original post, I have seen a couple of threads from people with pop/crackle/hiss issues from the HTC One on both the speakers and headphones.

I had this on my HTC One X and could hear it quite clearly so I don't think I have missed anything on *my* HTC One, however, there do seem to be manufacturing differences between handsets so this may be one of them to look out for.

I also want to say that some people are reporting crackling/distortion on their speakers (and even headphones) with youtube videos and their music where I do not think this is a fault of the phone.

Possibly people are not aware of quality issues that can occur in youtube/their music collection.

Some potential reasons for this (aka reasons your audio might suck):

Digital Clipping [ See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(audio) ] which can occur

If the sound has been recorded from an overly loud source

If the sound has been 'made louder' digitally

Often done to make the low-end (bass) sound louder

Sometimes to make the whole track louder (e.g. to make adverts stand out or make a radio station seem better/'clearer')

Even original CDs have this done to them!

See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war

Poor quality source

I can make an 'HD' video by recording my old TV from across the room on a cheap PC microphone inside a carrier bag -- it doesn't make it HD just because it was recorded in HD or the format of the file is in HD

The same applies to your music collection; just because the format of your music is 320kbps MP3 or FLAC (or whatever) doesn't necessarily mean it was recorded to that format from CD/DVD/Other-High-Quality-Source

Video not playing on youtube's high-quality/HD setting (uses lower quality audio)

Transcoding distortion

When a video is made in one format but converted to another (often by youtube) sound quality is often lost

This can happen several times (Phone Video format -> Computer Video format -> Youtube Video format)

--

@markj338: I have been taking a look at the 'PureXAudio' mod for the HTC One X and it looked quite interesting but I never got around to doing anything as I was expecting the HTC One.

I am a bit sceptical about what can be done to improve what seems like a hardware fault with a software fix, but it definitely looked interesting and as I haven't tried it out I don't want to discount its usefulness (with regards the HTC One X, not HTC One).

I am not sure if I am going to root my HTC One yet as my wife has had issues with her mic being very quiet in calls (in her HTC One X, but the issue still seems to remain on her new HTC One so not sure if she just isn't holding it right :p), and I don't want any disputes if we have to return anything under warranty.

This doubly so as I am so happy with my HTC One, both sound quality and otherwise, that I see no real need to root (yet).

If there are any tests/comparisons/etc. anyone want me to run then let me know and I will do what I can.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syserr0r:
Quick update to my first post regarding the HTC One's sound quality.

All of the listening 'tests' (if you can call them that) were done with the stock 'music' app.

Note: I have since updated to the new firmware that came out which, among other things, fixes some issues with Beats -- this may change things slightly!

I found when using n7player (which I virtually never use) that none of the EQ/Effects (such as SRS) settings were being applied.

I found that the album I had been listening to in my original post had not been properly replaygain'ed, therefore I now find the volume too loud above ~60% with my V-Moda Crossfade's so you could probably knock 20% off the original figures I quoted above (was ~80% max for the V-Moda Crossfade's).

I found when using poweramp (my normal music player, which I

highly

recommend) I preferred Beats disabled, not because of any distortion but because my headphones already emphasise bass a fair amount and I would rather just use the poweramp EQ instead of effectively passing the audio through 2 EQs.

Lastly, regarding the EU 'volume' limitations, when using poweramp and turning the volume up I had a warning about listening at high volume for extended periods of time. I don't know if this was poweramp or something that came in the firmware upgrade, however given I wouldn't want to listen to anything above 60% for a long period of time and wouldn't want to listen to anything above 80% for more than a couple of minuites -- I don't think there is any volume limiting.

I will try and update my original post with some of this information if I can.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joesee:
I'm really flustered with this whole issue. I too have been waiting for someone to bring this subject up.. not for people to compare what they think it sounds like, but the raw numbers (which I think is what the OP is trying to find out).

I have yet to see anyone produce an app like voodoo sound that modifies and lets you manipulate the HARDWARE portion of the DAC rather than ALL of these other applications which are strictly software (Beats Audio, Super Duper Beats, AwesomeBeats, Acid audio, etc.) It was a sad day when manufacturer's went from an amazing DAC like that Wolfson to these Qualcomm chips just because they were cheaper or easier to integrate into the phones.

I travel 100% for a living and I wear either a pair of in ear Westone 4's or my Denon AH-D600's. MY own taste of course, but, I've went from an Android platform phone (Droid Charge) which was the last one I know of for Verizon that even had the Wolfson DAC in it to an iPhone 5, with their proprietary DAC and was very pleased (with the sound anyway - not so much the phone). Since then, I've had a HTC Rezound, Razr MAXX, S3 and a few other Android phones with bland DAC's in them that sounded like crap.

With that said, I'm VERY interested to find out if anyone can confirm this HTC uses the Qualcomm chip used in most their other devices (like the One X and Rezound) or not. If so, I know the phone isn't for me.

Thanks again for all the other posts. I'm very happy this thread hasn't been closed. Like the OP, the audio quality to me is as important as the phone because I hate carrying two devices to have good sound with all the technology in the world today!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vomer:
has anyone come across ways to increase the bass when using headphones on the ONE?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syserr0r:
Bass boost!

There are several options:

Turn on Beats! ;)

Buy some [better/different] headphones that emphasise bass more (All mine [see above] are fairly bass 'heavy' [some more than others]).

Use a different music player to tweak the equalizer (I swear by Poweramp, but most other music players have an equalizer [n7player does]) or effects (such as Bass Boost) that should do what you want.

Use a system-wide DSP (or if you are rooted, a DSP mod, which may work better than an app) such as Noozxoide EIZO-rewire/AudioManager [both free] to adjust the sound equalizer/effects.

Note: All the options apart from buying different headphones will technically reduce sound quality coming from your device (from an audiophile point of view), however the better ones will minimize this sound degradation as much as possible. That said, most mere-mortals wouldn't notice the quality loss unless they are pushing the sound effects/equalizer/headphones too far in which case distortion/clipping will be inevitable.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadeye*:
How is the quality comparing with Stock vs Google Edition rom? is it the same?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syserr0r:
The only difference is the software, the hardware is the same. Since they have Beats on both devices I would assume they are identical, especially if you don't use beats audio 'enhancement'.

I have boot loader v1.4a and twrp v2.2.2.1. I have installed Stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2_r1 for the Kindle Fire [10-10] and i am using it for more then 6 months and i didn't have any problem not even with wifi or sleep, it was working perfectly and i was using the tablet a lot so i am sure it is well tested and had no problems at all. But since two weeks ago the screen started to lock randomly while using the tablet. For example i was playing a game and the virtual joystick locked it self but then i realize and the back, home and recent apps buttons are also not usable but the game was going on, so i click the hard key on the bottom to lock the screen and when i click again to unlock and i slide the lock to unlock the screen the game is paused and when i resume everything continue with no problem but then after a while it happen again and it happen on random games or apps. I don't know what is the problem if anyone has solution or similar problem please write to me.

After flashing Kyrillos Lite n Fast rom on a friend’s Galaxy Ace 2 (gt-i8160), the phone does not detect the sim card anymore. I tried different stock roms and kernels, which all flash and work fine, but the sim card remains undetected. The IMEI is gone, too. I cannot make calls or enter the network settings.

Do you have any idea how to repair this?

Re: [Q] SIM card not detected

Generally, when you install Kyrillos, making necessary WIPE, read the installation instructions carefully!

. CWM6 Recovery

*- Go to mounts and storage

*- Mount: system, cache, data, preload (Be sure to mount your partitions or the installation is complete!)

After mounting should look like :)

unmount system

unmount cache

unmount data

unmount preload

For anybody who might get into the same situation: I solved the problem.

The Chinese phones, though seemingly similar in hardware, seem to have some difference, I don’t know what it is.

None of the stock / pre-rooted stock / custom roms and different kernels would let the phone detect any sim card, except for "I8160ZCLK3 / CHNLK3 China".

I found it via this site, which leads to a download list). It eventually leads to a hotfile URL.

You must have flashed wrong preloader. Try to search for original ROM for your phone and flash it with SP Flash Tool using Format+Download option. Chinese phones can't get bricked unless hardware breaks down. I've flashed wrong preloader many times and i was still able to flash the right one by holding Vol- button before attaching the USB cable to phone. Good luck.

Here is the solution for not dectecting sim card after flashing custom rom

SIM CARD IS NOT DECTECTING BEACAUSE, YOU HAVE FLASHED ANOTHER ZIP FILE LIKE GAPPS etc, AFTER FLASHING CUSTOM ROM. SO THE SOLUTION IS GIVEN BELOW;

STEP 1 - PLACE THE CUSTOM ROM,WHICH YOU WANT TO FLASH IN THE SD CARD

STEP 2 - GO TO RECOVERY MODE (twrp,cwm etc.)

STEP 3- FLASH THE CUSTOM ROM FILE AND AFTER FLASHING WIPE CACHE.

STEP 4- NOW DO NOT FLASH ANY OTHER FLIES, JUST REBOOT YOUR DEVICE

STEP 5-NOW YOUR DEVICE WILL RECOGNISE THE SIM CARD.

THIS METHOD IS SUCCESSFUL IN ANY CUSTOM ROM.

As far as FM transmitters go, any other option is better. Does your car have AUX-in or Blutooth? I bought an AUX module for my Honda, as it didn't come with an AUX-in port. You may be able to do something similar.

If you must use an FM transmitter, maybe something like this will work? It has a phone charger built in as well: http://www.amazon.com/Excelvan-Wire...qid=1367368532&sr=1-3&keywords=fm+transmitter

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoponpop:
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. If you just got the phone a few minutes ago, what's the harm in unlocking the bootloader? If you unlock it now, it will save you the hassle of wiping all the data from the phone in the future.

Also, just because you have an unlocked bootloader doesn't mean that you have to change ROMs or anything. You can always lock it later if you need to, but having an unlocked bootloader gives you a lot more freedom when it comes to rooting.
