Hi,
i just bought the case and soon after, the person i am talking to complain of hearing echoes of their own voices.
i tested this by calling some robot (topup service or something) and tried to listen from the mic side.. and guess what, i can hear its voice quite clear here! i guess the sound from the speaker travelled too damn well through the case, and eventually coming out from the mic port.
have anyone else noticed thsi problem? do share pls..
Haven't come across this from anyone on the AT & T forums. I ordered mine yesterday and will report back when I get it installed to try and replicate this issue.

Mine is fine.
Been using this case since last Saturday and no issue on echoes.

hmm weird. i actually thinking it is unlikely not to have echos due to its very design. did u use max volume for call? or myb silly me just installed it wrongly? demm..
I just got mine and no echo. Maybe a network issue?

Yezza. Full max volume for call. Try to reinstalled ur case n test agaon.
In the echo still persists, might be network since ur on maxis n im on celcom.
i tried using it without the case, and no echoes detected (i tested it by using another phone, calling to my note), so i am certain the case is the culprit. installing it again does nothing to help.
ah well, i guess i had gotten myself a defective unit somehow, or my callers are just annoyingly *****y. Interestingly, google also reported that this issue existed on iphone 4 otterbox defender...
You are not the only one having problems!
I am experiencing the very same problem. Callers hearing their own voice echoing back even at the minimum sound level on my device... The case somehow causes echoing.. very annoying.. I've been called 3 times by different people tonight right after I switched to Defender.. each person called me three times thinking that there must be something wrong with their phone.. Was it their phone??? No! It was Defender causing problems..
Will I in the end give up using this case? I doubt it. Paid too friggin much to dump it.. Is it annoying? F.ck yes!

Hi,
I hope you read this. Wanted to thank you.
I had rigged mine with some tape before I read your guide and it worked half assed.. there was still some noticeable echo..
I'll try the ear foam method asap and let you know if it works any better..
ok guys and girls heres my problem, i work in an automotive shop 8 bays , i have a very large snap-on tool box which i have mounted a computer surround sound system to . every morning 6 days a week i plug my phone in and we all listen to pandora all day. now the plus to this is i can hear every phone call, email or alarm that comes to my phone . used this set up for 2 years with my rezound . well with my new One the music sounds great but alarm sounds and ringtones are very low to the point that i almost cant hear them .also on my rezound music would kinda... not pause but stop for a second when notifications came through then come right back on . the One does not ,the notification just plays on top of the music. does anyone else have this problem ? all my sounds are set to the maximum . im thinking its some sort of programing error and was hoping a dev could fix it ?
thanks guys

Notifications alarms and such (minus phone calls) are very muted without a doubt. Sometimes when I go walking and listen to my music I have issues with that if someone texts or something.

Glad to hear its not just my phone . Now is there anything we can do to fix it ?
Drives me nuts too. Luckily I have the Pebble watch so notifications vibrate my wrist, but I still miss a few when I'm driving down the road streaming music and charging my watch. Looking for a fix or workaround as well.

That doesn't effect them when music is playing. Its been an issue on every HTC phone I've ever owned. They are severely muted when music is playing.

I may be S-OFF but it came with a price-tag, 8 days of stress. Monetary value was also worth it, but being ignored for 2 days while other phones that got there 1-2 days after mine did with no response, not a great process for ME personally, please don't attack me again ppl this is MY experience and opinion.
But,
trust me bro if I knew how I'd do it.. I always do..
I have and never will mess with the audio ESP on this phone.
I could turn it too high because I have no idea what I'm doing and blow all your speakers.
I don't ever claim to be Mr. Amazing DEV either, in-fact according to XDA I am only a Recognized Contributor.
but I digress. I have limited skill. I am not one that can write original code.
I am decent with smali, but again cannot write original code, most devs can't either, in-fact prob 99%.
Does this mean I am worthless as a Developer, IMHO, no, as it's proved on the SG3/SG4.
Basically, my skill range only goes so far, I really do wish I could fix everything you guys ask for, but the reality is, I just am not that talented to accomplish the task, and I',m never embarrassed to admit it. I have an *idea* of where I would start coming from the S4 and call recording, but that entire MOD confused me, so like I said I don't want to change a value and boom there goes ur speakers lol
my notifications come in VERY loud compared to my s3/s4.. I have it set to less than half, FWIW

I think someone would need to use custom rom or custom hacks to do this. Definitely would have to be rooted to fix this. Something like the Viper rom with the extra tweaks it has might accomplish this. I know...this is not avail yet.
It is just a built in protection I bet. It thinks you have headphones on and some of the notifications can be pretty loud.

i guess that could be part of it, for ear protection . probably not to many people running a set of speakers all day for music .
And andy i meant no disrespect at all . sorry your phone got passed up and you were without it so long . i can flash a rom and maybe a little more .thats the limit of my romming abilities . i have no clue how much you know ,but im sure its more than me . so all i can do is ask . loving the rom cant wait for the next update . thanks again

wow, in how many different threads are you going to go off topic and bring this up? You don't want to be bashed for it, stop posting about it.
Where'd your thread go about buying a java card? You make stuff disappear better than houdini.
To the OP, I have noticed this as well. I'm guessing this will definitely require root at least. Maybe devs can incorporate a fix into ROMs.
Those in the know swear an exploit is coming, and that should help things. Personally, I'm sending my phone to colorado. The guy has been 100% perfect on getting the phones s-offed and returned. I think the longest total time has been 10 days.
cool thanks for your input .

Hi,
I was on 4.1.1 and the speaker volume was very low but on the earphones it was good.
I upgraded to 4.2.2 and it has gone extremely low on the speaker and much lower on the earphones, plus the equalizer app is not as noticeable anymore.
Seriously, the speaker volume now is just inaudible, just a whisper. I can't hear anything on it (calls, music, videos...). Nothing. The phone is usless like this.
HTC told me to send it while it is under guarantee, but they can decide that I damaged it myself and not repair it.
So, first, I'd like to go back to 4.1.1. How can I do i? Resetting to factory settings is useless, the problem persists andI'm still on 4.2.2-
Any advice?
Thanks

Dude,
I thinks your speaker is damaged!
Because HTC One x volum on sense 5 is very good and louder!
Regards from Brasil
Thanks for your help guys.
I think it is everything. It is an old phone and it's dirty, so certainly the microholes of the speaker must be clogged with dirt. At the same time the speaker must be defective because it is extreeemly low and it is a very common problem for many owners. And finally, what I know for sure is that yesterday the sound on the earphones was excellent and today is low and poor, while it is dead onthe speakers, and that is caused by the 4.2.2. upgrade.
In these spanish forums other people are reporting the same after upgrading. http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=688211, so it's not only me.
So, what I'd like first of all is to know if it's possible to go back to 4.1.1, but still I will send it to HTC for repair on Monday.
About cleaning the holes with a toothbrush, I already tried with normal toothbrush and nothing changed. I read that some people are opening it and cleaning from inside with some specially thin brush, but I can't void the guarantee by opening it.
Thanks again. If you know if I can go back to 4.1.1 that is my main concern now.
Hi. Try this.
I understand the volume on 4.2.2 Sense 5 is a lot low. Get Viper4Android app and install it and do the settings as you would like. It works wonderfully on 4.2.2 Sense 5.

I can't root it by now, I need to keep the guarantee. If HTC fails to repair it, then I will try Viper4Android.
Thanks anyway.
Still, I'd like to know if it's possible to go back to 4.1.1. Nobody seems to know.
You can go back to 4.1.1 but you need to unlock you boot loader and flash a custom recovery and a custom 4.1.1 ROM. Sorry but no other way.

Oh I see. Then I better wait to see what HTC can do with the volume and then I will decide if rooting and using ROMs.
Thanks a lot.
Actually, on the earphones it's still great sound and the equalizer app works fine. I was doing something wrong. It's just the speaker which is low.
Thanks to everyone.
Update: I sent it to HTC and they fixed it fast and free of charge as it is under guarantee. Now it sounds very well, loud. In the report paper they say that they changed the software but not any hardware was replaced. I stil have 4.2.2, so I don't know what they changed. Maybe they just opened and cleaned the speaker inside.

Viper4Android worked like a charm :good:

Is this the one you are talking about? If so, yes I do have that problem aswell, and didn't notice it until now. So thanks for that But the problem I was talking about is similar but it doesn't come out from the speaker, just the back of the phone. Therefor I believe it might be "coil whine".

Actually It does NOT. I did not think it was the same problem as the one earlier spoken about in this thread but now I do think it is. However, the sound does not come from the speaker, only it is rather easy to hear because of the wholes in the body of the phone. The sound seems to come from slightly below the HTC logo.
Here's the other thread describing the high pitch noise: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/whining-noise-speaker-low-brightness-t3376476
Yeah I was going crazy about this until I installed the 1.53 OTA. Completely stopped the noise.
I believe it was something low level that had to do with the display. Probably a kernel fix.

Nope that is the OTA. Whats your software number, and what country are you in?
Run a stress test to see if it gets worse. That's when coil whine will be most noticeable. If it does not change in frequency or amplitude, it's not cool whine.

Yes I had the noise on that firmware. If you haven't received update yet, it must not be available in your country just yet.
But don't worry too much, it's not a hardware issue. The 1.53 update fixes it. Don't make the same mistake I did and order a replacement lol.
Your choices are either wait for the update, or unlock your bootloader and flash the 1.53 firmware.

It sounded similar to how lights sound on a dimmer dimmed all the way down. I'm guessing it had something to do with current level supplied to the display, since the higher the brightness, the quieter it gets. I believe electricians call this 'lamp sing'
The more I listened I felt like it was coming from the bottom of the display, near the fingerprint scanner.
Either way just glad they fixed it.

Hi guy,
Not sure if anyone else has had this (can't find anything here, or with search engine, so starting to worry it's not software problem), but just the other night, was surfing then all of a sudden, I get this loud horn type noise from my phone... Certainly woke me up! Then stopped... Then no sooner did it stop, again it happened. I check, but my volume is almost at mute. So I close Chrome, and re-open, and haven't heard it since, but now I have noticed my speakers crackle and distort on certain frequencies.
I'm hoping this is just some software issue, that hopefully I can just update, or re-set, but I haven't come across anyone else having this problem.
Please help
Thankyou, O.

Do you have any mods (audio) installed ?
Are you rooted? Running a custom ROM ?
We need a little more information..
If you're completely stock then no it's not normal and I'd put my money on a hardware defect..
If you are rooted with a custom ROM and perhaps some mods installed it still doesn't sound normal and I'd try to go back to a custom but stock type ROM.
Least then you can see; if it replicates, then it's more than likely a hardware issue.
Did u push the speakers a little too much with a mod? Over amplify them or similar? Any water damage? Drops?
From the outset it doesn't look good but until you / we can answer the above we won't know more.
Hopefully it's just a mod gone wrong.
If not then it'll be a defect covered by warranty anyway..So a return to stock and RMA will get it sorted, so a hindrance but not then end of the world.
Let us know.

Hi Dladz,
Sorry I didn't put more info in before.
I'm totally stock (running 7.0). Not running away mods, or audio changes.
I suspect that it is just that, a hardware issue, I was just hoping not. I've never had an issue with any of my HTCs' before, nor have any of my friends. The build quality has always been the best you can get.
I guess it's back to the supplier it goes :/
Thanks for the response,

Ah that is a shame and no worries, I've skipped info before as i'm sure others have and will
I wouldn't let it put you off HTC they do make some rugged devices and I swear by them, speak to a rep and see what RMA would take then get it done mate
All will be well, this wasn't your fault, I'm just thinking what could've caused it if anything?
Playing at loud volume constantly, music or audio with frequencies which put stress on the speaker??? Nah I dunno mate, either way it's not your fault so get yourself a nice replacement
Good luck fella. :good:

Thanks Dladz,
I've loved HTC from the start, and still do. I recommend them to everyone I know and meet. This is just one fault in the entire history of mine and everyone I know who has or had one! I think that is a pretty good fault rate.
I'm already hankering for the HTC Ocean ? Can't wait ?
Cheers,

I had this problem too on my HTC 10 one month and a half ago . I was on leedroid with nebula kernel and no other sound mod and all of the sudden the bottom speaker started to crackle and make many distortioned sounds . I suspected to be the kernel so I asked the developer , but he said that he hasn't touched anything sound related . No one , but only me, had this problem reported on kernel thread . I asked on ROM thread but the same.
Now I see that someone on purely stock had this problem. Only thing I can say is that where I live 2 months ago was a really cold winter and that affected the speaker.
I had send it back to repair services and now it's all good

HTC 11 will be interesting, wondering what they're going to do with the screen now that everyone is looking to go bezelless.

I just hope they don't put the home button on the back!
It is this same issue that´s making me want to upgrade from my otherwise still great HTC One M8. A distorting top speaker that the repair shop couldn't fix (they tried 3 new speakers, to no avail). It´s very annoying and I am waiting to see if the HTC 11 ticks everything I want in a smartphone:
- Full Metal Chassis
- Stereo Front Speakers
- 64GB of UFS 2.1 Storage
- 4GG of RAM
- Support to Micro SD cards
- Snapdragon 835
- Great low light camera with IOS (like the Pixel)
- Preferably with water resistance
Otherwise, I am buying the HTC 10, which is much cheaper now since it´s been almost a year since it was launched.
I dont understand why we dont even have a Evan Blass rumor about the supposed upcoming HTC 11, that is making me a bit worried...
Cheers
I have the same problem.
Now if anyone know what is the certain solution for this problem?

I am running HTC 10 Android 9.0 - lineageos 16.0 w/ latest oreo firmware and im still having problems. I have tried several other firmwares/ROMs and I feel that it is a software defect but im going to replace the speaker anyway... I'll let you know..
