Okay I don't understand why the htc Evo 4G has a louder speaker then the htc Evo 3D someone correct me if I'm wrong but After making the upgrade I notice when playing music the Evo 4G had a louder speaker then the 3D. Is it just my phone or is that the way it is??

Yeah the 4g speaker was louder.
It's night and day Evo 4g is louder
Is there a way to force the speaker to be louder without blowing the speaker?

You can use apps like volume+ or dsp manager to increase the volume..
ive noticed that the speaker is a NON free air vibrating one, it requires a surface to reproduce the sound. its not as powerful but even with dsp it will not sound any better it will crackle because its only a 1/2 watt to a watt speaker. try turning the srs wow enhancement off and then on with on table. it does sound like the 4g when on a table. but the phone call loudness is louder on my hardware 0002 with no surface
this is one of the things i seriously miss from the EVO 4G, the damn speaker. it was indeed louder and clearer. i guess that the dual cameras took a lot of space on this device so maybe they were unable to add a better speaker using the same form factor and size.
The speaker is smaller and definetely no as loud as the EVO 4g I had or my iPhone 4 I have no idea why they did this , is nice to watch netfilx on it but the speaker screw it up

I used QPST to change the volume from level 2 to level 3. It is noticeably louder and does not crackle.

I changed mine to level 4 and I use PowerAMP to play music with the loudpeaker EQ and it sounds just like my girlfriend's EVO 4G.
I only use loudspeaker for music, so if I'm watching a movie I'd have a headset on so that doesn't bother me that much.
Ever since I got this phone I've had issues with the bluetooth headset. It's a Plantronics Voyager Pro and callers say I come through so loud that they have to hold the phone away from their ear. I had the same headset with my Bionic and it sounded great. Anyone else have issues? Could it be the ROM (Clean ROM Pro) or would this be an HTC/ Rezound issue?
Thanks for any insight
Also have problems on bluetooth

I have issues too, but not that issue. On stock GB and the second leaked ICS update I am told that my Jawbone Era makes me sound like I'm in a tunnel. It worked really well in my Incredible...On the other hand, I have the MEElectronics Air-Fi AF32 bluetooth stereo headphones and they ROCK! So I am baffled...Sorry, no insights..

Do you sound good on the receiving end with the AF32's?
No issues on GB but on ics I have a P311 Arctic sound stereo bt headset that cuts in and out after connecting but I can fix that by turning off and on the bt. Annoying but I can live with it.
On the other hand I also have a Motorola s9 rokr and an lg hbs-700 no issues with gb or ics.
No issues with calls on any of the headsets. So weird.

I have an HTC EVO 4G LTE and whenever I use my Plantronics MX250 wired headset every phone call I make is distorted. The only way to 'fix' it is to reduce the volume to a level that is too low for me to hear when driving. I tried the Equalizer app to see if I could manipulate the bass/treble but it doesn't make a huge difference. I also disabled Beats. I never had problems with this headset with my touch pro 2 or iphone 4s. I'm assuming that the EVO sends a wider range of frequncies than the headset can handle.
The same issue does not appear on other headphones but I want to try and maintain using my Plantronics headset for phone calls since it is so comfortable. Do you guys know if there is a setting or app that can fix this?
thanks.
I have noticed a similar issue with my Klipsch One Headphones. It annoys the hell out of me. No issues however with my Sennheisher Adidas workout headphones. It is possible, higher quality headsets are picking up issues with the device that cheaper headphones aren't.
Hi
I've just received my One X+ and the speaker phone during a call is next to useless. I've come from a One S and used it in the car on speakerphone and it was fine but the One X+ is so quiet I can hardly hear the person.
I've made sure the incall volume is on max.
I've noticed that the sound seems to be coming from the earpiece on speakerphone shouldn't it switch to the main speaker on the back on speakerphone?
any other people had problems with speakerphone volume during calls?
Mine seems to be fine.

So.. I bought the DNA today and am severely regretting this decision.. Wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue?
I have a Jaybird BlueBuds X bluetooth headphones. Compared to a lot of others, they have an amazing sound quality.. at least they had an amazing sound quality. When they were connected to my Galaxy S3 (running CM10.1 in the interest of full disclosure), they sounded as if they were hard-wired - no distortion, no buzzing, perfect sound quality.
I paired them with my new DNA, hoping for the same audio quality (and then some, due to famed Beats Audio) and... didn't get it.
So the problem I'm running into here is that they now sound like a pair of cheap, 10$ bluetooth headphones - the sound is distorted, there is crackling noise in the background, the music sounds like as if it's 64 kbps - barely usable, very unpleasant. As soon as I pair it back to my old S3, the sound comes back to life.
I've read the forums and understand that the OTA pushed out an update with some bluetooth fix.. I have the OTA (got it that way), so my phone is already running the supposed sound fix.
Has anyone experienced same problem? Especially with higher-end BT headphones? (Jaybirds, Sennheissers etc) Really like the phone, have been an HTC fan since WinMo days, but I simply cannot tolerate this BT flaw... Does it have to do with the BT chip that DNA has, or is it the BT stack/driver on this one?
++> On a side note - sound quality over wire is great.. so this a bluetooth only issue. The issue (noise) is more pronounced on higher frequencies..
I don't have BT headphones, but do have a Sony Xplod CD deck in my wife's Honda & pairing any of my HTC phones via BT sounds so horrible. However, I did get the HTC Steroclip for my Sony Xplod CD deck without BT in my truck & it sounds great. What gives? Was wondering if it might be the same issue as with the headphones.
I am running Creative 350's with apt-x codec and they sound great. I would find a set of headphones with apt-x. You won't be disappointed.

Well, quite honestly, when i first started researching bt headphones for exercising there has not been a single pair that garnered the amount of positive reviews as the bluebuds.. plus they did sound amazing on s3. I did look for aptx - s3 uses it, but no workout headphones that had aptx had good reviews in terms of build quality etc.
I do wonder tho...
On dev.android under the about Android 4.2 JB it does mention that it got a new BT stack developed, replacing current BlueZ as well as updated low-latency audio.. maybe the new stack does indeed improve quality.
im going to flash the s3 with stock 4.1 and see how it sounds and then try a couple of variations of aosp stuff and report back..
Ps. I also found a mention of how s3 uses a2dp edr natively, whereas dna is using aptx... Its going to suck if this is truly a hardware issue...

I think Stereoclip has aptx.
So I flashed S3 back to Stock VRALF2, 4.0.x ICS, and played a couple of songs and still was getting crystal clear quality.. So it has to be the BT implementation in DNA.. Sad. Anyone has any insight into why/what could be the root cause? BT chip? DAC chip?
Thanks
If it helps any, Bluetooth audio sounds great in my 2012 Sonata.

Do you know if the radio in your Sonata supports aptX?
Shoot I'm not even sure what that is. It sounds pretty much the same as when I have it plugged in tho.

I use blue tooth in my car all the time and also over the blue tooth streamer for my receiver at home.
Sounds crystal clear and I have very nice speakers in both the car and at home.

Is codec support built into blutooth or can codecs be added/modified. If so its a non issue. I would help with codec support if I were rooted

Same issue. I streamed music from the same Google Music account, on both my Rezound and DNA, to the same receiver (2010 Infinity G37S).
DNA audio quality is noticeably bad. Especially in mid and high range. It sounds like very low bitrate audio, and/or very lossy compression. The Rezound audio quality over BT is nearly the same as wired.
I suspect HTC has deliberately chose to use a low bitpool value for A2DP w/ the stock Sense ROM. DNA now supports atpX. So, they gimped A2DP stream, with the goal being to sell more of their Bluetooth Stereo Clip product, that support atpX.

If that's really the case.. shame HTC. My m25 ear piece supports aptx and sounds great playing music. In one ear...

Jaybird + dna
I have a set of jaybird freedom's myself and have had no issues with bluetooth, beats audio or audio quality. One thing i have seen though is that some roms do not handle beats over bluetooth very well. The other thing you probably should look at is to make sure that it is pairing as a stereo audio device and not a mono audio device.
+1 for horrible quality here. I use these LG blue tooth ear buds and they just sound terrible. sounded fine on my gs3...and I used one of those jbl stereo boxes and it's awful.. and again fine on the gs3. sucks.

I have a set of Sony bt headphones (bought on amazon a while back for around $40 way before DNA I had Bionic back then) that sound very good I also stream via HTC BT dongle to my Sony xplod in car with with Fosgates all around music sounds GREAT I can really tell the difference when Beats is off even more so when I flash Awesome Beats...I also noticed a setting the other day on my Sony deck for AUX VOL while messing with sub output I turned the AUX volume up now I'm really bumping hahaha

DNA Sound Quality
I hope you haven't given up entirely on your DNA since your post because there are some options you can explore.
Did you try turning off "Beats Audio" in your settings? I purchased the Power Amp music player update and Power Amp and Beats Audio don't work well together. In my experience, the standard Music player that comes with your phone works best with Beats. Other music players may also have the same problem. Second question, did your problem go away with the latest update to Jelly Bean 4.2.2?
Good Luck,
