Just received this beast it feels solid but there's 2 issues I'm noticing already.
1st issue is that the screen has vertical grey lines/bars that are really noticeable on bright white backgrounds.
2nd The speakers have a high pitch sound when playing audio with Atmos on. High pitch sound goes away when turning atmos off. It actually sounds better with it off....
This sucks because sending it in for a warranty replacement all the way in Hong Kong is going to be a huge pain and really long wait.
Not sure what to do now...

I have the same issues with the speakers and screen. I don't know about the screen, but the speakers are a software issue. Apparently Razer did issue an update to fix it, but I still haven't received it yet. Customer support told me that the engineers are working on updating the phones. What is your software build number and kernel?
No update here

Yeah, me neither. I have the same build number. The newest build number is NMF26X-CKH-171108.853 , It's already updating for some. For me, I'm going to wait for another week and if it's still not updating, then I'll exchange it.

Bad speaker
Just got my phone in and the bottom speaker seems to be blown, crackling like crazy under certain sounds. Disappointed and not sure what to do now!
Can someone take a picture of the screen line issue? In all the reviews I've never seen anything like that or has anyone brought it up.

And for what it's worth I don't have any high pitched sounds from the speakers.

That makes much more sense why the build has CKH in it. It's actually good that you're on the carrier build as it is the latest build for now. The unlocked models are still on an older software build and some are experiencing the high pitch noise from the speakers when using Dolby Atmos. The latest build fixes that, but unlocked models, like mine, haven't been updated yet.

usually carriers get builds last or around the same time so people who got the device straight from Razer should get updates before carriers. It wouldn't surprise me down the line if we end up getting updates later just so Three can add that stupid little logo on boot -_-

Same here (lower speaker as well)
Started RMA, they said 1-2 weeks. Tried to ask for a bit of time in case it's software but Idk, it sounds like a blown speaker to me.. I verified with my gf's that came today too, couldn't get her speakers to blow so pretty sure it's a manufacturing defect. Tried to replicate everything I did on mine.. Thought it might have been a bug within the atmos eq but still couldn't produce anything.
Amazing phone otherwise!!

Yeah, they are writing me an RMA, after reading the above reply, Im thinking of just returning it and getting a Pixel 2. Im not waiting 1-2 weeks to get a replacement phone that arrived (essentially) DOA. That's ridiculous.
My phone installed the latest update straight out of the box on Friday 17th and is running the same build as Roxas598 as I am using ThreeUK too.
I Wouldn't normally ever push any speakers over 75% but to test them out I have put them to max a few times and having noticed any crackling yet.
Only issue I have had was a weird screen pixelation watching some videos on Netflix or YouTube but haven't seen it for a few days now so for now putting it down to bandwidth or codec issue at the time.
Not sure if this is a problem or not due to the way Qualcomm works however my wall charger when charging the phone from 0-25% will make a obvious humming noise, once the phone changes its battery percentage the noise does get quieter. I did contact Razer about this and they where not too sure but after 2-3 days they are sending out a new wall charger.

Yesterday got new system update now all my browsers are forcing close all the time anyone else had this problem
I'm not having force close issues but I've had to reboot like three or four times for various reasons. Once every time I would open the browser I would only get an all black screen. And earlier my status bar(or whatever you call that black bar that runs across the whole bottom of the screen) got stuck at half size and unusable after an alert tried to come up. There were a few more issues.

I got the update maybe a few days ago, haven't had any problems with it so far except once when the browser wouldn't open any new tabs, then force closed, but that only happened once, after that it was fine.

I wish i could remember how i got around that issue. Did you check around?
The way around it is to play the music/movie without the headphones plugged in. Then, plug them in and the sound will stop playing from the speakers and just the headphones. If you plug them in first, they still play through the speakers.

Sounds interesting! Sure hope that I'll get it soon! Does the 3.2.1 update do anything to make the UI more smooth and fluid? After getting an iPad last week, Ive really noticed how choppy the UI in Honeycomb is, and all of the occasional slowdowns a lot more...

Honestly it makes me so angry. There's so much work that goes into the development of these devices. Can you imagine what it must feel like to pour your heart and soul into engineering & development work, only to have the support folks fail it so hard?
ICS should have been released a week after the sources became available.
The headphone problem should never have made it out of QA. But it also should have been fixed within days of it being reported, and pushed out, worldwide, the moment it passed QA. Instead, this Canadian still has not received it (though I'm applying it manually, right now). It's been months since this problem was reported.
I know no manufacturer is perfect, and there are a lot of products to manage, but this is just irresponsible. Come on, Acer. You're not a charity. We paid good money. Now support your devices.
So I have a Cyan unlocked 900 here in the UK. I am on FW 2175.2101.8779.12201 and Zune shows no updates available.
In NaviFirm there is a 2175.2503.8779.12301. Does anyone have any info on this version and whether it is safe for me to flash it? I am keen to get some of the improvements to the camera that the recent AT&T update supposedly gave.
Thanks
I updated my rm-823 in the UK to the latest 2175.2503.8779.12301, I had 8773, and the phone seems a lot quicker.
I had the screen not brightening up to an appropriate level for some seconds (not good when trying to answer a call etc, the phone took 30+ seconds to start charging and some other weird issues to do with response)
I would recommend to upgrade if you had anything like the above problems, but no idea what this new FW is supposed to sort out.

I have been using it for a few days. It seems to fix almost nothing. The camera is still sub-par at best and I still have the issue during phone calls where the other party gets echo feedback.
The auto screen brightness is still really slow and dim witted but very slightly improved.
Just got 8779.12228 here in Canada (Rogers). I wonder if the firmware updates might also be carrier specific???

I got a refurb Lumia 900 to replace my broken LG Quantum. I had a really bad echo problem, and no updates fixed it. Contacted ATT who sent me another refurb, and echo is completely gone even on the highest call volume(old phone had to be no higher than 6). I think it's a hardware problem, look around on Nokia's support forums, seems most could only fix it with replacement. I also had the vibration rattle, and that is gone in the 2nd refurb.

So recently my phone has been acting weird. Had this phone since the 3rd week verizon released it and only within the last 2 months when im on the phone...its like i have no signal and the other person is breaking up. (Like in the old days) But I have LTE and had great verizon coverage for 10 years now. My data and signal drop also as soon as I answer a call.
Last night I was listening to a podcast and I was getting a crackling noise, and the audio also sounded like it was going in and out for awhile. So I thought something was wrong with my speakers and played a music track...music and speakers sounded fine, so Im confused and wondering if anyone gets that issue?? Im on CM11 from October, but I dont think its the problem.

CM is touch and go for any of the MSM8960 phones. if you want to eliminate the variable that might be rom related, i would suggest to change to a sense based rom for a couple of days and see if it improves.
after a couple of days, if things dont get better, it's more or less going to be the phone itself. I dont know of any test that can be done to determent otherwise.
Thanks, Im gonna try that

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.

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.

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,
O.

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..
