[HTC 10 Real Life Review] schmeggy929:
Us Sprint version, firmware 1.24.651.3 rooted, s-off and Badboyz ROM. Regular mp3 music files.

Edit: boomsound set to Theater.

Maybe US Version different, haven't really seen anyone complain about volume levels in Sprint forums.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] dlads:
I find the sound quality superb and the volume is spot on, this is a phone chaps, not a ghetto blaster.

Get an amplifier and you'll see how good the sound quality really is.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Ricardo_G:
yes

is the HTC 10 a phone or a music player? so was the HTC one M8 a ghetto blaster?

How to you use a phone if you can´t hear it when ringing

If you want a music player and to connect a amplifier go to Baso, Ak, Cowon or another one DAC

---------- Post added at 07:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 AM ----------

Very interesting, because this problem occurs in the unlocked version 4G in EU/ US with original firmware. But I have to see if another ROM can work to fix this issue. I rooted and used V4A without success
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] dlads:
Lol OK son, calm down.. The m8 was also a phone with two identical speakers, the m10 is not.

Also why can't you hear your phone? I've not missed a call once are you always in a loud environment?

Also I do have an amp, a good one at that and the audio through the HTC compares with some of the best I've ever heard..
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] dynamikd:
The speakers are good for not being front facing. I just received my phone and switched over from the Nexus 6. There is a huge difference in sounds quality.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] mauiblue:
In my opinion, my HTC M8 had much more fuller and a bit more volume than the HTC 10.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Ricardo_G:
totally agree
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Alex_Tech:
That's an odd discovery but i guess it's worth a try. My wife was complaining about the same thing, was this immediately after updating?
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] nizmoz:
I just got this phone and noticed when on a call that it sounds muffled. Not clear like my S7 or iPhone did. I'm on AT&T and since it's unlocked, not sure if its using LTE over voice or not.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Ricardo_G:
It´s not for your network or company, sadly when the phone rings only sound in the lower speaker (remember that it works only for bass), for this the sound is pretty bad

Several threads in this and another XDA forums appoint this, nobody knows any fix or mod for to correct this
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Galinha1:
I thought my unit was defective , one of the reasons a bought the HTC 10 was because my S7 Edge sound was baffled and low volume , but even though the HTC 10 is much clear sound, mine is not much louder , sounds less than my iphone 6S . I bought it from Hong Kong, unlocked. Well i'm receiving an update right now, hope it gets better. The camera definitely got better after the previous update.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Ricardo_G:
bad news

i have bad news for you: it is not your phone. several people have the same issue

1- the new fw update doesn' t fix the ringer problem, the same s****

2-i have the S7 edge, head to head the ringer volume is very much better in S7 edge, but not the multimedia and music ,( with headphones)

3. I have searched in this forum, in XDA or another forums

NOBODY HAVE ANY IDEA OR MOD TO FIX THIS ISSUE and it' s frustraring.... again

IF ANYBODY CAN HELP US PLEASE !
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] LibertyMonger:
This is absolutely false. I just had my M8 at a Verizon store comparing the sound to the 10 and the 10 is slightly louder and much more clearer. I wanted to test the sound difference before I ordered the 10.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Ricardo_G:
you can review several comparative video from YouTube, with sound meter, not much to say
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] LibertyMonger:
I reviewed live, in person. Now I have my new HTC 10 sitting next to my M9 and my M8. The 10 is slightly louder than the M8 and it is really close with the M9 as well, with the M9 possibly a hair louder. Not much of a difference. So far the sound is great except for songs as ringtones. This is a big disappointment and hope there is a mod that can fix this.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] richii0207:
Removed. Wrong thread!
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] petvas:
I think that the speakers are loud enough, definitely not louder than my previous device, the Nexus 6P. What is more important though is the clarity and overall quality of the speakers and this is where the HTC 10 excels. There is nothing better out there.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] mellybelly_:
Can't fault the clarity and it doesn't sound tinny at all. I've used it in public quite a few times so you people saying it's too quiet must be going deaf :p
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Luhccas-X10:
For hands-free calls, waze instruct, ringtone, notifications and alarm it's really good.

What i really love in HTC 10 is the quality through earphones!

At 66% of volume it's louder than Galaxy S7 in 100%, for example.

The quality is in another league too.

Light years ahead anything i've ever heard.

Sent from my HTC 10!
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] thewilkster:
BoomSound is SO loud, I know HTC are renowned for their speakers but it still took me by surprise. After watching an episode of The Grand Tour last night I was also impressed with the subtlety of the audio for a phone. As an aside the bundled earphones might even replace my Sennheiser's.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] zilvrstar:
My HTC 10 is having problem with ringtone and Notification sounds. Some times the ringtone and notification sounds do not work(It occurs 1 or 2 times in a day). At this time the video will not play, it show cant play this link. Same with you tube and I have to restart the phone in order to get sound back. If any one can help kindly leave a reply. My phone is having Android Nougat 7.0
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] hexxor93:
My HTC 10 speakers are not anywhere near as loud as the M8 or M9. They are so quiet, its more noticeable when in a voice call and using the loudspeaker. Compared to my Moto X they don't stand a hope even to my Meizu Pro 5 :(

But I didn't buy this phone for its loud speaker performance tbh

The speaker is simply not loud, so don't buy the phone if you think it is gonna be loud like the last 2 one M flagships and loud speaker performance is a must.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] mtoda:
I'm experiencing similar issues. I am a speaker person. I use the speakers on the 10 at least 2-3 times a day if not more to listen to music, phone calls, and watch youtube. Like you, I came from moto x (pure), and I'll say this much, the volume on the moto x feels like it is 2 times louder, though the HTC 10 has slightly better sound quality. I actually almost never blast my moto x to full volume where as with the 10, I think I'm almost always at full volume. every time i use the speakers on the phone. Where the HTC 10 shines is when you pair it with an expensive headphone. Only on flights do I appreciate the HTC 10 more than the moto X. The battery on the HTC 10 is also like 2x better than on the moto x. I really wished the 10 was louder. I'm happy with everything else the 10 has to offer, but unlike you I actually bought the 10 for its boomsound. I still like the phone enough not to switch, but I would love this phone if the speakers were at least M9 standards.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] hexxor93:
Don't get me wrong, I agree with the audio via the headphone jack! Hands down. Also with the battery life. Just wished the loud speakers were a bit louder. But coming from using a galaxy nexus, nexus 4 and 5 where those speakers were poop. Its not a deal breaker for me :)
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] cavist:
In my opinion, speakers are loud enough but only in silent environment. Listening to the max volume in bath with active exhaust fan or during a shower, playing YouTube on max volume in a car is manageable but not loud enough. My M7 was a bit louder but also nothing special.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] M7er4life:
You got dam right

I wish they were a bit louder but the sound is very good.
[Moto X Q&A] Prodeje79:
This is a stock XT1058 running 4.4.4 212.44.26.ghost_att.ATT.en.US (build KXA21.12-L1.26)

My parents have an older LG on 4.4.4 getting all sorts of Google play update errors. I'd like to give them this phone. I could use your help in confirming what I should put on it. I was hoping to get something 5.x on it, but I do see various threads with people having various issues with lollipop, even rolling back to 4.4.4. Hopefully the answer isn't to keep it at 4.4.4

If the answer is to keep it as is, are there any issues to note? Will it eventually have Google Play update errors since it is so old?

If the answer is to try a newer ROM, please link me. Especially if it is on Filefactory. I cannot seem to search on their site.... I would probably follow this thread:

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the LG G5, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the LG G5 is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it. :o

Well, I hate this phone. Mine couldn't survive a 12" drop onto a parking lot without severely shattering the display.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] nobnut:
Maybe it committed suicide as it no longer loved you.

You should have tried relationship counselling, but now it is too late.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] spencer311:
Unrootable means un usable in my eyes. Plus the battery lasts about 6 hours.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] eep1:
Not sure why you can't use it without root, I am. And my battery last all day with 4G.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] LightJak:
Absolutely love this phone, and yes, I do sleep next to it :p. Everyone will have their own opinions, mine personally is this is a great phone. Love the camera, battery time is great (although having 2 batteries help), and finally a usable phone outdoors without having to really focus on the screen(very bright screen is what I mean). I would really love to have root, but I have patience, this nonsense of "no root no phone" kind of irks me but when you're spoiled you're spoiled.

LG G5 more hits than misses

Upgraded a number of family phones to the LG G5. I'm a bit old school and prefer simple flip phones. We would probably still be using Samsung Rugby flip phones if they worked with our carrier.

If you're in the market for a high end phone that's more than shiny, with lots of usable practical features and actually includes the latest available technology, consider the LG G5. We think it definitely has more hits than misses.

1. The 3 Cameras, make the phone one of the best camera substitute

2. Modern CPU (Qualcomm 820, currently top of the line) helps performance, battery efficiency, spectrum / wireless performance.

3. 4GB RAM useful for multitasking and running large demanding software

4. 32GB internal built in storage

5. Expandable storage with Micro SD (sorry Apple)

6. Miracast, industry standard screen sharing

7. IR Blaster

8. USB-C, the modern USB port the industry actually agrees and moving towards

(including devices from Apple, Google, Microsoft, LG, etc).

9. User removable / replaceable battery

10. Modular, and easy repair-ability

11. FM capable - enabled depending on carrier

12. A major phone brand / model thus more available accessories

13. Price point - best value for high end / flagship phone

Cons - what's missing that other devices may offer

1. Water / Dust proof - a nicety, and can be added to the LG G5 via certain cases.

2. Premium Metal / Glass feel - subjective. The LG G5 is all aluminum but covered in a primer paint. Besides, most folks I know use a phone case.

We have a number of mobile lines / phones within our family. Our last few phones have been Samsung, from Samsung flip phones to Android devices Galaxy T989D/S2X, Note 2, Note 3, Note 4. When we were up for replacements, we going to go with Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but it was no longer available, replaced by the Note 5. The Note 5 was more expensive than the Note 4. It was hard to justify paying more for a successor that included less than its predecessor - no Micro SD, no IR, no removable battery. Note 5 excluded usable practical features for a shiny exterior, and wasn't even water proof. We heard new phones were coming March / April 2016 so we waited and eventually decided on the LG G5. We believe it to be the best value, and offered the opportunity to award a vendor trying to innovate.

Ultimately it's just a phone, but at least it has the more important convergence features covered, mainly solid phone features, and solid camera.

** Unrelated, but its thanks to XDA community and other enthusiasts who help keep golden oldies such as the T989/S2X and Note 2 phones kicking. There's several Marshmallow ports for T989 and Note 2 :)
[LG G5 Real Life Review] cpthornman:
Got a G5 (on AT&T) yesterday as a gift from my work and am coming from a Moto G with custom ROM's galore. The only thing I really miss is forward and back arrows in the nav bar for typing and Chrome Pie. Why pie controls aren't native to Chrome and requires root access is absolutely stupid.

Every other root function I used on my Moto G was to make up for the limitations of the device. No need now. Holy crap this thing is fast as hell and thanks to doze, standby is crazy. The SD 820 is an absolute beast of an SOC. And this is only my first full day on it. Going on a hike later today and can't wait to use the camera on this thing. So far I am very impressed with this phone.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] Pphish20:
Just received my EU h850 in the mail on Wed, already unlocked and rooted. No build quality issues at all.

Don't know why some are having battery issues. I easily get 24hrs of use with 5+hrs sot

That's with gaming,youtube, browsing,and Bluetooth

The screen uses much less battery than my Sprint g3...and even with custom everything on my g3 this phone performs sooo much better in everyway.

I think carrier branded g5 have a lot of bloat killing battery

Haven't heard a bad thing about unbranded h850 yet
[LG G5 Real Life Review] adamelphick:
Got mine from O2 in the UK and love my G5... O2 have put no bloatware on it at all and it therefore has good battery life. I have a G4 and the G5 flies compares to it (I loved the G4 too even though it had it's issues!). The only negative point is that getting a good tempered glass screen protector is going to be a nightmare as the screen is clearly quite flexible (hence the corner buckles etc) and so getting one to fit perfectly is going to be a challenge. Having said that, this is a very new phone, and all new3 models have odd issues (software/hardware), so if it becomes a problem then I'll RMA it to O2 or LG and get it swapped.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] chocobomoshpit:
Hate some of the software tweaks, but this is a damn fine phone.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] DimidiusDeus:
All in all, this is a pretty good phone. I'm really liking the wide angle lens and the fingerprint sensor. (This is my first phone with a fingerprint sensor)
[LG G5 Real Life Review] NightOrchid:
Same here and agreed... awesome standby time as well... My only issue with it is, I wish the screen and always on display were brighter outside and the overall volume was a bit louder, especially when using your own ringtones, like my G4. When I set up mine.. I didnt bother with the App drawer update, to me.. it was a new phone, new UI so I went for a bit of a change instead of copying my old G4 setup... made me feel like Ide actually bought a new phone.. and im finding it much simpler and enjoyable to use.

I find the UX5 much slicker and faster to use, more responsive and I can fly through tasks, OneNote and OneDrive.. Very Happy with my G5, also the 0.2" screen reduction makes no difference after a day or so
[LG G5 Real Life Review] sguerra923:
For the ATT G5 is there a way to save pictures/files/videos directly to the memory card or does that require root?
[LG G5 Real Life Review] galr:
Love it. I'm not crazy about the design but a 2.5$ case makes it look badass.

Camera is outstanding, battery life is good (30 hours with 4 hours SOT , brightness is set to Auto, BT and NFC off).

The phone works fast and doesn't overheat.

I'm happy
[LG G5 Real Life Review] ATOJAR:
Loving my G5 had it a few months now, bought the Spigen Rugged Armor case really nice, snug fit. Great camera, battery life & blazing fast, great screen, fingerprint scanner works amazing its really responsive, i was pretty surprised actually at how well the fingerprint scanner works .... Don't care for root to be honest, only thing i really liked about being able to root my old G2 was having AdAway installed. USB-Type-C is a god send especially in dim light.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] midgarsfinest:
Camera FTW

I also love the camera and settings provided on the LG G5. My only disappointment might be the capture time when using HDR mode. Aside from this, the video and picture quality is worthy of this benchmark phone, and the wide angle option adds a new enthusiasm for taking your phone with you on the scenic route.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] XeroemoXmageX:
From South Africa here. I have the H850 G5 as well, and no bloatware whatsoever. Battery lasts me a full day under moderate to heavy use (That does not include the camera). The auto-brightness is on point (but gets a little too low in a dark room to make watching videos or gaming comfortable). Battery charges fully in 28min from 1% whilst turned on. It's blazing fast. I have games in the background that I get back to hours later, and the memory never fails. Best phone I've ever owned.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] lethalfriend:
I like almost everything about this phone minus the flimsy quality of the lcd quoting/Glass as its getting scratched very very easily, same is the case with back camera glass/visor.

Unfortunately, i wasn't using any screen protector earlier and i'd tried to clean the screen with a very soft microfiber cloth but to my surprise even that cloth had left some tiny hairline scratches. I couldn't believe my eyes at first but this was the fact sadly :(

I am not sure now if i can get rid of these scratches as i really love neat and clean phones.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] jdougs:
I upgraded from an S3 that had been in service since it's release and had never failed me. It just became a bit dated and the battery was due for replacement. I caught the G5 for $1 at Best Buy so I said what the hell. My first unit didn't last 12 hours before dying. However the replacement is on it's 4th charge/discharge cycle and is seamless. I hope that the first unit was just a fluke because this thing hums. I hadn't even tested any other phones since owning the S3 so the speed and fluidity of the G5 blows me away. I cannot wait for rooting capability to customize it even though the factory setup isn't bad and not as restrictive as others I have dealt with in the past. I am giving it 3 stars for now due to the DOA unit I first received though.

JD
[LG G5 Real Life Review] vxjnt:
Same here... Had s3 since it's release and I was pretty satisfied with it. Phone served it's time and I got new LG G5... I was bit sceptical at first but I gotta say I am pretty satisfied with G5, everything is snappy and fast. Battery life is great, at the end of the day I have 25-30% left. Only thing I am disappointed is it's build. I like the metal build but it doesn't have "the feel" of it, I don't know how to describe it. Anyway... I hope G5 will serve me as s3 and hopefully better.

Why you hate Lg

Bro why you hate android phone. LG is very popular mobile and millions of user can loved it..
[LG G5 Real Life Review] osiris010:
I owned an LG G2 since launch; it was the best smartphone I ever had. It was also the first smartphone I ever broke - shattered the screen after only a year. I ended up buying the Motorola Nexus 6, which turned out to be a huge disappointment tbh. The G5 though, so far, has been fantastic!

I love the camera! The Nexus 6 had the most basic, boring and slowest camera I have ever experienced on a smartphone. The wide angle camera is amazing and I love the full manual mode! Battery life has been great too, which was my biggest issue with the Nexus 6 - it couldn't even make through my work day without needing to be charged in the afternoon (it charged fast, but come on). I've been averaging 12-14 hours on my G5 with 3-5 hours SOT, auto brightness, NFC and Bluetooth (I have a smartwatch), WiFi while at work and at home, LTE everywhere else. The screen is BRIGHT! I have no problem walking to work and using my phone while wearing sunglasses! I could never do that with my Nexus 6. This is my first phone with a fingerprint scanner and I am really impressed at how responsive it is. Honestly I think the speakers/max volume is quite loud - something I was a little worried about since the Nexus 6 had the speakers on the front of the device, but after using the G5 for a week this is no longer a worry.

I received an update when I first bought it but I have not received the app drawer update for some reason. Not a big deal, but odd I think. I can't wait until we get some custom ROMs for this device so I can flash a stock/non-carrier branded image to this device and get rid of all that crap bloatware! My only complaint so far is the bloatware AT&T stuck on it, but that's to be expected with a carrier branded device.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] jdougs:
Before I put mine in a case it hit the ground at least 3 times and once was from 3 feet high where it slipped from my hand and landed face down on a concrete driveway and didn't leave a scratch on the screen. The other times it hit the corner and did leave a couple dings in the case.

Shaky hands..? :)

I'm coming from a G2 which is still an amazing phone! The only real reason I upgraded is for the better camera.

Regarding the app drawer update, Just open LG smartworld and get it from there. It's called Home & App Drawer.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] charlobagis:
I love my G5!
[LG G5 Real Life Review] xanderin:
Yeeeeup. I've noticed it gets too dark in even a dim room if it's facing a poorly-lit wall, or gets stuck at really dim settings occasionally... Maybe 10d fixed the getting stuck part!?

You get it done in less than a half hour?! I've gotten it charged in about 50 min at its fastest... Of course, if I left it alone during that time, maybe...
[LG G5 Real Life Review] Octoxan:
Barely functional, much slower than my G4. Phone always claims it has a full signal but nothing loads. The camera on snapchat fades to black every half a second. Nothing really works.
