Decent review.
No gaps, the trim round the ports looks clean cut, too, and the word Audio is missing.
Wonder how many went through QC before they noticed.
Makes you wonder what else QC might have missed.

On the back of the HTC One devices there is normally a logo at the bottom that says "Beats Audio". However, some devices only have "Beats" written.
Hence the discussion. Perhaps concern about QC?

beats audio is a brand and beats audio is the trademark of that brand.
Some HTC One phones only have the word beats on the back of the case; the word audio and the ™ symbol is missing.

^^made me :laugh: out loud in my office at work!! Thank you for making my ****ty boring work day a little better lol!
in regards to OP, it's interesting. I wonder whether or not it's either a change in the development timeline that perhaps the earlier phones had beats audio or visa versa. Or perhaps a sign of 2 different factories producing slightly different handsets?
I'd be interested to know if there was any correlation between the handsets with beats/beats audio on to the ones with the gaps/no gaps, as that could give some idea on if there is an issue in production in one particular factory making the phone. Or if it's to do with the release date.....
For those I have lost with this semi-rambling post.....Example;-
All the phones with beats audio on are the ones that also have the gaps in the build and are all the earlier released phones.....
or
All the phones with beats audio on are the ones that also have the gaps in the build and although produced at different times since the phones release they were all made by the same factory.

I am seriously wondering whats going on @ HTC.
how could they let something like this slip by?
I assume they have a slightly lower QC level due to the expense of the case itself? Does not justify it... but.
That would be my phone in the video (with my hands and voice of course ;p) and yeah no audio on the bottom just the beats portion of it.
Phone is perfect apart from that, but since it's nothing huge I will be keeping it as I can't see many of them, special edition
Let me know if I am the only One (it was too easy)

I've heard of two other phones without the 'audio' bit but there must have been fair a few unibodies go through the
screen print machine before the person watching the screen print process noticed that the silver ink had run out !
Great review by the way. Better than having a nasal American voice chewing up our language

As of late I haven't really heard any more news of significant clock speed gains from other higher end phones such as the Droid X/2 or the SGS phones.
From what ive read the X/2 overclocks were overinflated fibs and the OC method used in the SGS phones overstated their true clock speeds. Anything that I have missed?
I watched a competition like this once...
It was done at a dyno shop amongst members from a Nissan car club.
It was all fun and games until someone exploded their 1000hp Skyline engine.

Ahhh, the beauty of trying to sound witty on a forum.
One would never assume the OP graduated with an associate degree in automotive technology in early 09'. Now that I've stepped out of my realm of expertise into this forum and asked a simple question (at least it's not in the dev forum) I would like some serious input if that's alright. Just proud of my phone that's all.
BTW, the correct terminology is detonated, not exploded and it can be caused by any number of issues...my money is on either a boost spike or lifted head.
Seriously not trying to be an ass here, the g2 has gotten some press over this issue lately and its legit unlike the other phones.
Thanks dude.

not that i am against overclocking(this is the first phone i overclocked and i set it to 1 gig) but other than "because i can" why do we need it faster than 1.9? sometimes i like to put my phone to my face to talk on it and i would like to keep from needing skin grafts. do any of our apps really NEED anything more than maybe 1.2?
psx4droid runs great at the higher speeds as long as you keep an eye on the cpu and battery temps. I have the 1800mhz Zimage on my phone right now but I keep it restricted to 1000mhz via setcpu.
Really I see it as about pushing the boundaries for the sake of knowledge, if I could compile my own personal kernel I would but being on the verge of going to pharmacy school and work both keep me too busy to learn how.
This thread isn't really about why one would do it, it was just simply asking how the g2 is fairing against other higher end phones.
I'd love to see something like this as well. Sooner or later, we're going have to start installing heatsinks on to our phones.

man, i like your style!
this is a great idea.. but: plates must be very close to eachother, and it's unuseful if the plates are close to other parts themeselves; don't exceed with the paste: it must be a small quantity that, pressed, it expands itself close the the edges of the component
if it doesn't work, you can clean the paste with some alcool, using a cotton-fioc ( you know, these little cotton-sticks you can use to clean your ears )

Could someone with the device please confirm the exact audio hardware in the phone? We know the Intl' variant has the Wolfson audio chip, but nobody yet that is holding a phone has confirmed what is in the US version.

Wouldn't they have to disassemble the phone to find the DAC?

there should be some easy way to find out by reading the info out of one of the system files or installing an app that gives detailed system info.....I don't know exactly what app would do this but surely one of the many system tool type apps would have a detailed system info dump
I downloaded the source for the ATT model and found a file called
WM8994-core.c
there are other files that look like they could be other Wolfson Media C files, so I am not sure if the source is set up to be able to compile for a large array of audio hardware?
Found the file in location in source
"SPH-L710_NA_Kernel.tar\SPH-L710_NA_Kernel.tar\drivers\mfd\"
anyone care to comment?
I think you nailed it dude. theres also a folder in kernel\include\linux\mfd called WM8994 so thats a good sign. HELLOOOO VOODOO SOUNDD!

Subscribed to this thread! Hoping for voodoo sound.
just sent supercurio a message with finding to see if it's an option
Really looking forward to answer about this.
Fingers crossed it's Wolfson. I miss Voodoo Sound from my Captivate.
But I'm pretty sure you nailed it, and it is indeed Wolfson.
It was such a let down on the SGSII when I learned Samsung didn't go with Wolfson for it.
So I'm not sure what people meant when they said the headphone volume isn't very loud. I just tried it and holy hell it's louder than my Gnex with sound control and almost as loud as my Fascinate with voodoo.

What I've read said the international version is quiet while the U.S. version is nice and loud.
Would love to know if the wolfson dac is confirmed on the US version. As far as i can tell, it's only been asserted in a couple reviews against supercurio's tweet that it wouldn't be used.

So even though it not same wolfson chip as intl being tge wolfson 8994 does that mean voodoo sound will work or just need a few tweaks to get working?

It really depends on what supercurio does. I saw a tweet where he says he was only deving voodoo sound for the Intl version but if they end up being similar it would be a slap in the face to everyone who has donated and purchased his app in the US. I think if its Wolfson he will still do it eventually myself. Just a hunch.

Yeah, I think they started realizing that hardly anybody uses the headphones provided with phones anyway (except for iPhone users, apparently...I see them using the Apple ones all the time), so some manufacturers just don't even bother to include them anymore.

It's not that they were saying "only iPhone users use headphones." It was that it's more common to see iPhone users with their "earpods"( :silly: ) and not so much android users with their stock phones. My friend had the Beats phones with his HTC and said they were crap compared to his Bose ones and threw them away. I have also never found value in the cheap in-box phones personaly. To each their own, but I would be happier to pay less for the phone w/out them and have less crap to throw or give away later.

I have also switched from s2 to one.
Call quality - very clear and loud. Perfect.
Wifi - i have recorded speeds of 25mb download
Battery - solely depends on case by case basis i have not used it to play games or watch videos yet and lasts me days and a half before it dies.
Ear phone - its ok for free ear phone. Other members in this forum rate these better.

After having a galaxy s (still going) and seeing Samsung's lack of software support, on that alone I'd choose the HTC ONE. I'd be happy with the hardware upgrade of the S4, but the ONE seems like its of better build quality.
Not only that, but the whole PR debacle where Samsung was revealed to have been spreading bad user reviews of the HTC One also casts a shadow of doubt on anybody ridiculously badmouthing the One. Good job Samsung!
Hopefully the fact that almost all of the reviews mention the HTC One in comparison will give it the media exposure it is lacking due to minimal advertising.
Wow is that confirmed to be true? But yeah its some media exposure for HTC is always good.

Sony , Nokia , ASUS, LG's problems disappeared in a second. hTC sacrifices itself to save the world.
I was one of the people who was torn between the S4 and HTC One i kept changing me mind right up to the last minute. I was coming from an S2 which i never had any problems with infact its still a great phone over 2 years old (the misses uses it now and loves it) I'm glad i went with the One though it has that WOW factor that i dont think the S4 has. i'm more than happy with my decision the One is an amazing piece of kit
I take it all but the most demented Sammy trolls are now far too busy over on the S4 forums to hang around our street corner anymore.
