How is the quality of the loudspeaker for calls and music as compared to HTC One X and Samsung GS 3?
Anyone?
I, like everyone else who didn't get the phone at the announcement event, haven't received the phone yet. But this is definitely a question I would like to know the answer to also. I have had the Evo 4G, Evo 3D, and now the rezound and my least favorite part about all of them has been speaker volume and quality. I know that the DNA has a dedicated amplifier for the loudspeaker and the headphone jack (can't remember the exact wattage), so I am really hoping for the best here. I want to be able to watch and hear a YouTube video when i am in an area that isn't completely silent, something that I haven't been able to do with my last 3 phones. We should be getting our phones towards the beginning of next week and if you haven't gotten an answer by then I will post my findings here
Thanks mate... Look forward... Surprisingly I am not getting an answer to this question anywhere in the forum even though many seem to have the phone already! Anyways I look forward to your feedback.

I have read that it's clear until the volume is at its peak and it also isn't that loud. The only loudspeaker I have heard that is amazing is the iPhone 4S due to it being so loud and clear only if it ran android.

My evo lte is not that loud. Better than my old 3d but not loud enough.

I am surprised no one having this phone is giving feedback on this issue.. All feedback on the forums seems to be obsessed with battery life only!

OK, Received my phone this morning so here is my feedback. The speaker is excellent. It is quite loud and music is clear even all the way up. It's still a phone though so I don't see myself listening to music on the speaker. It is really good on headphones! Both are definitely better than S3 but can't speak to the One x.
Feedback anyone else?

I think the speaker is good. I would rate equal or slightly better than GS3.

Seems to work fine for me - no problems or issues here.

I can't get over how poor the incall voice quality is on any Rom including stock. Thought about returning but hoping for a fix. Increases volume with crazyag fix but calls still sound poor often. Its not all the time so that makes it more baffling. Anyone else notice and have any solutions.

I never have issues. More often than not I use a stereo Bluetooth headset. But, the caller sounds crisp and clear to me on stock, S8, UnNamed, MIUI, and ICScreweD.
What exactly do you mean by poor? Low volume? Static? Etc.

It could be a problem with your hardware or your phone's signal. I don't have any problems with call quality.

If the problem is echoes heard by the person on the other end - use a case that doesn't suck.
A lot of cases make the echo canceller/noise reduction go nuts.
Its not a case as it happens occasionaly with or without a case. Its hit or miss.

No issue with stock, unnamed and miui.

It's not as good as my old iphone 4 but its better than most other phones ive used. The skyrocket had better in call quality to. But this phone is better and i dont talk enough to care. I say try the skyrocket if you dont care about the speed of the device. Or exchange it and see if the new one is any better

Talking isn't a big priority for me either but very frustrating when i do. Maybe ics will help. Strangely task's Rom seems to be the best so far. Just installed iscrewd so maybe that will be the ticket.

I've had people complain to me that the audio quality has been irregular on speaker phone and bluetooth. Some people have even told me it is echo-ish.
Mine sounds fine to callers, i just can't understand people sometimes due to low quality/clarity

Is it just as hard to understand various people from various phones? Or do some people from different phones sound better than other people/phones?

i've been told that sometimes i suddenly start to sound like i'm a million miles away even though i didn't move the phone away from my ear.
kind of annoying because it doesn't go away until i hang up and re-dial the number. had the same problem with my skyrocket but never with iphone....
and this is with no case. still waiting for my otterbox commuter in the mail.
No issues here either, clear call quality. I came from a 3GS and 4 where my gf would tell me it would sound like an echo (no cases) or distance sometimes like mentioned above. Said that hasn't happened with this new phone and i sound clearer when calling her.
Not to confuse the op, but this issue in regards to what im hearing not what the other end hears and its sporadic too. I never get complaints from callers, i just can't understand them sometimes.

Is anyone else getting a really annoying rattle or buzz in the earpiece when the call volume is turned up above 60% or so? I have no sound manager apps installed or anything of the like. I have had the phone for one week as of today.
Yes, same thing here. ATT OX+. Un-Un rooted. That and ppl say the voice quality sucks compared to my 2yr old EVO. Starting to wonder....

Mine is going from fine to bad and back and forth. No rhyme or reason.
Update on the earpiece. I was just about to swap it out but then during the call it stopped buzzing and became clear. It did this when I took it away from my face and did something onscreen during the call. If it was a hardware issue, it would do it every call and during the whole call in my opinion. I'll leave it as is no app installs etc for 24 hours and see if it changes back.

Has anybody else noticed the sound quality has gotten a lot better with the last update? Music is louder, crisper, and frequencies stand out more.
Thoughts? Or is it just me?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I generally only listen to music in the car over Bluetooth. It definitely has improved.
Yes I have noticed a big jump in sound quality and I like it way louder can bearly keep my volume up to max for to long
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Yes, I've noticed. However, it only got bad after the last update, so I assumed that they just fixed what they broke last time.
I've had this problem for the 8 months I've owned this phone. I'm actually surprised that my monthly Google searches have found few mentions of the problem.
I am not the ONLY one,
Low Audio Quality and Constant Noise in Android app for HTC One X / HTC EVO 4G LTE
http://community.skype.com/t5/Andro...-Noise-in-Android-app-for-HTC-One/td-p/833460
I've been checking back on that thread on the Skype forums, but never any answers. I just signed up to bump it tonight.
I just upgraded to Skype 3.1.0.6458 today, but apparently this has still never been solved.
Overall, the app seems much snappier, which is fantastic. However, the poor audio problems persist.
Skype just got an update might wanna check

Might be because of the 2ed Mic it might not know how to handle it properly and its canceling noises and picking some up

All volumes are great other than incall volume. I tried xloud and it helped a tad but its still pretty low. Is this something that can be tweaked with a custom kernel? Big difference coming from my note 2.

So the new one is much better then?
i don't think its a defective device as every htc ive ever owned had this issue. i cant take mine back anyways as i unlocked the bootloader. people in the international one forums are reporting it to, its not super low, but low enough while in a crowded room or whatever.
