Offtopic : worth changing? - One (M8) General

Hi Guys,
I am a proud owner of an m7ul device and I am torn between the M8 and the M7...
My main concern is the speaker and Sound....will it be that bassy? (deep sounds)
lack of ois? and mic quality?
With the m7 I could stand next to the biggest speaker during a concert....and no distortion at all...
Will it be the same? ((
Thanks in advance

It's better.

Are you talking about recording next to a big speaker? If so, I have never done that so I can't compare that to my old m7. Completely honest opinion here. Pro's and cons when comparing with m7… Speakers sound the same to me, and I actually don't like the fact that you can't turn off the boomsound feature as you could turn off beats in the m7. I listen to metal and once I get the volume cranking, it really struggles with the double bass in the background. The m7 did this too, but you could turn off beats and it sounded better at high volume. I know they say they are 20% louder but it sounds about the same to me. Mic quality on phone call is great, as it should be in 2014. I'm not sure if that is the kind of mic quality you are talking about. Speed is noticeably faster. Wifi signal is outstanding, and cell signal is about on par with all flagship phones. Battery is simply amazing. Screen size is nice too. Motion gestures are a big plus to me. I know you could load kernels on m7 but they really do put a draw on the battery. Ext sd card is nice. Duo camera is kind of neat, but I wish they would have gone a different route with the camera. Soff within 10 days is awesome. These are just my opinions.

Really worth it mate...i also have the m7 with purple issue on the camera...little bit disappointed but htc really knows how to build a beautiful phone and I couldn't resist it...i picked M8 and so far no complaints at all...simply perfect!

Call quality

I am just going to say it... the htc aria's call quality is horrible. Maybe I feel that way because before the aria i had a nokia phone. However if you go to settings- -call- -hearing aid. If you check th hearing aid option the call qualit is much better and you can hear people even in noisy rooms.
FYI: I recently got a check up and I have perfect hearing.
So my question is does this hearing aid use up battery life? And how do you guys think the call quality is?

I do notice that if I lower the volume a little bit I can hear an echo of myself in the mic.. Also, the volume of the music player can be better too..

I have seen the hearing aid setting, but I cannot find it in options on cm6..

Infinitely better from the terrible LG Vu I had prior to my Aria and definitely better than iPhone. I have no complaints.
the in call quality is a lot better than the other phones i've had. the volume may not be as loud, but the quality of the audio is great. i haven't had any echo/weirdness at all. i had tons of that with some of my other phones.
from what i've asked people i call, the quality on their end has improved since getting the aria as well.

In general, I have always been really happy with call quality on every HTC device I've used. I think it is probably one of their phone's best characteristics.

I had really bad echoe problems with my 3GS, I think it may be an AT&T thing. The Aria is a much better telephone imo than the 3GS in every area except speaker volume. The speaker on the Aria just isn't loud enough, but I have better signal and way fewer dropped calls than with the 3GS.
Tinny sound + Earpiece louder than Speakerphone
When talking on the Aria I get a tinny sound in the ear speaker on the phone...also people claim I am breaking up yet I hear them loud and clear.
Anyone else getting this?
Ear piece louder than Speaker phone...

No to all three off your questions

Sounds a little like a troll thread. I've had nothing but clear calls. It may not hold full bars like some of my other devices, but it sounds better than my old nokias that did and gets better battery life to boot. If you're not happy take it back.

Everyone say they have poor call quality.. But none of you give any details as to which Rom on Aria you are using..
Quality & Volume are awesome with one latest Rom's..
The only time I have noticed poor call quality is when I was using the stock rom. It was more noticeable when on a Bluetooth headset when I had the phone below the waist. I would head crackling on my Bluetooth when it was to thexpoint that if I moved the phone to chest level it would go away.
Since upgrading to cm 006 then to cm 008 I haven't had a problem. In fact I can now leave the phone in the other room while I'm on my Bluetooth without any problems.
Hope this helps.

video on how terrible the speaker is

just found a video on youtube that shows how bad the speaker is on the hd compared to a old n95
Yeah the speaker sucks, my old phone was the N95 and the speakers on that are a lot better than the DHD I have now.
who knows;9118124 just found a video on youtube that shows how bad the speaker is on the hd compared to a old n95

I agree that the speaker on DHD is be low and "terrible" to people but I don't think it is fair to compare it to the nokia n95 which I think probably have one of the best speakerS (since it has 2 huge external speakers). Nokia is known for being a great music phone too.
aah, the N95, amazing sound. Used to have it for a long time, then got my first HTC (touch HD) and was extremely disappointed with the sound quality, and now that I got the desire hd, my ears got used to the crappy low-tech sound quality! well you cant have them all in one phone
wonder
I just wonder if there is HW problem with speaker or its simply limited by software ? because I really couldnt belive that it would be that big problem to add louder speaker..
To start with, I made that comparison video. So if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
I am utterly disappointed by the speaker quality of the Desire HD.
I fear that this is hardware related, as the speakers sound very high-pitched, without any low tones at all. Also, when at maximum volume playing high toned music, the sound starts to distort and crackle. As you can hear, you can hear the low tones pretty loud and clear on the N95, but on the Desire HD, you can't hear it at all. The volume is noticeably about 2.5x louder on the N95.
If you compare the Desire HD with the Galaxy S, you will quickly notice that the Galaxy S has even better speakers than the N95, with plenty of low tones, at a high volume. The volume of the Galaxy S is many times higher and clearer than the Desire HD.
All of this leads me to conclude that for a flagship phone as the Desire HD is, it really has crappy speakers, and I truly don't understand how they could make a ****up like this. How much would good speakers cost anyway? Cents?
I expect a flagship multimedia phone like the Desire HD is to have proper speakers, comparable or better than we had in the N95 time (the flagship multimedia phone 3+ years ago). Samsung seems not to have any trouble to achieve this, but for some reason HTC didn't -utterly unexpected-.
Now let me be clear: even with the bad speakers, the Desire HD is a much better choice than the Galaxy S for several reasons, but really, HOW THE HELL have they achieved to fail so miserably on this point?? I'll make another video soon to compare speakers of the Desire HD against the Galaxy S. Also check out the other video's in my channel, rate and comment!
I think in general HTC's phones have sucky speakers, even that new HTC 7 phone with that big speaker isn't that impressive.
tried poweramp and turned they volumes up on that and it just crackled looks like its gunna be a replacement speaker hopefully the samsung galaxy s is similar in design, if so ill try and make it fit lol
What a shame on DHD about that poor loudspeakers. I do not care about music because I am sure that most of people are using headphones like Sennheisser or something like that but about ring loudness and vibration feeling, it really sucks.
You pay so much to this phone and knowing that you will be left with those speakers are really annoying.

The most Annoying thing is that I can't even hear it in my pocket as a matter of fact the speaker is so bad I even managed to miss 3 calls when the phone was layed speaker side down on the floor even though I was in the same room, really annoying

Sorry but this seems a bit exagerated! You're saying that having the dhd on the floor and being you in the same room, you couldn't hear a phone call? Come on..you were looking to TV with highest volume, or listening to music with earphones, or something similar...otherwise, sorry, I can't believe you!
Anyway, apart from this, I admit the speaker is really CRAP. I hate this. Hopefully vibration is good enough to feel the phone vibrating in your pocket, because the speaker could make you miss calls when in a sound-crouded area.
p.s. did we all have N95s before the dhd?? I had the 8Gb and...its screen has gone! It had the greatest speakers I have ever heard anyway, so the comparison is not that fair. Most phones don't have good speakers, but the one on the dhd is really RIDICOLOUS!

i was watching tv, and the phone was around 5/6 meters away and i didnt have vibration on.. to be honest i couldnt believe it myself i even rang the phone to see if any music was playing lol
so how is in-call volume? is it just external sound or in-call volume sucks too?
That extremely inaccurate, the speaker, if configured properly is very very good. I an audiophile, I love sound quality, I've experienced many devices. The Desire Hd stands out by far for the smartphone category. N97? Come on. I be owned one of these they were decent..

So that would mean that all of us have faulty speakers.
Someone else also said his speakers were great, so I guess a few people got decent ones.
Can we use SE Live View with this ? Does it have better speakers than this ? A option for not missing the calls ??
P.S- I m yet to buy DHD

I don't know how he configured his DHD properly, but i think on DHD there're much more options to optimize sound quality than changing volume. I think abound de-/activate SRS and/or dolby mobile and there should be also an equalizer be integrated.
Think about that you shouln'd compare the quality of sound with any other devices than other smartphones or mobiles.
I've registered just to post a comment on the speaker quality. It's terrible. I'm not talking about headphones or the internal speaker. Specifically the loudspeaker. It's tinny, clips at higher volumes, and is worse than phones I had more than 5 years ago. I'm seriously considering sending the phone back on this basis.
Yep they are crap. I can't believe they've put something like this in one of the most expensive devices on the market.
Yesterday I was watching an episode of Family Guy and the quality of the sound was terrible. I thought it could be because of the codecs I used to convert the vid. I tried few mp3s (256bit) still crap. The louder I've put the volume the lower the quality went. Very very disappointing.
Still though... I love the phone and wouldn't change it for anything else. I wasn't expecting to get All-in-one device.

Speaker sound

Hi,
How is the sound of the speaker?
Is it louder than the HTC Desire HD?
Thanks
Daniel
Not sure of the Desire HD but it's a hell of a lite better than the one on my Desire.
It's a little louder but the sound is clearer, less tinny and overall a crisper range.
DHD is crap! Compared to my Dell Streak anyways
Do not mention even Desire HD. I am not a user of SGS 2 but I am pretty sure there is no other companies than HTC can prodecure a lower speaker phone than Desire HD. That was my one of the main reasons to sell Desire HD.
My Desire Hd was crap UBER CRAP! i hope SGS2 is better, any improvment is a +, also curious if its better than iphone 4 speaker as that was my most recent device, anybody know? thanks
Do not expect too much from mobile phone speakers, as they can not have that good quality because of their dimension and form. IMO every mobile phone has bad speaker quality (never had one with good).

True but its all relative. I seem to remember my 1890 hd or whatever we caled the omnia hd having quite good speakers.
Comparing with Dad's iPhone 4 I'd say it's on par if not a little clearer. It misses all the low-end bass but it's not meant for music and the speakerphone quality is ace.

You've never owned or heard the Nokia 5800 then? Astounding quality speakers (yes there are two). Never heard another phone better than it, proves it IS possible to get good quality from small dimensions.

Obviously better than Desire HD, none of us saying mobile phones' speakers should rock our world but Desire HD's speaker is really really unacceptable.
i am also an ex dhd user. every time this thingy rang, and i was surrounded by other people, i felt ashame for the super low budget speaker this phone was ringing with. peace of crap

[VIDEO] HTC One vs Galaxy S4 (in car footage test, front and rear video)

Alright, well here's the conditions to the best that I can remember.
Focus not locked. Didn't see an option for that in the Galaxy S4 menu. Galaxy S4 software based stabilization was not turned on. Anyone want a redo with it on? Hardware stabilization was on for the HTC One.
Also have the Optimus G Pro, Note 2, and iPhone 5 available for tests if requested.
Front facing camera vs rear. Thoughts?
EDIT:
Software stabilization turned on for the GS4. Does anyone know if this actually use pan and zooming to stabilize the image? I'm guessing it does and there is no other way to combat shake.
EDIT:
On my trip to Colorado I added a low light test. I was pretty drowsy. Just woke up from a rest stop nap!
EDIT:
Tried to let the HTC One redeem itself in the audio department. No cases and subject (me) is in front of the camera. No bouncing the sound off of a windshield. It is definitely quiet than the S4, but turn up the volume and let me know what you think.
Seems like the s4 audio sounds better. The HTC one audio sounds echo-ey. As far as the video, they look similar in quality but the viewing angle is wider on the one. I think I prefer the zoomed in on the s4.
Man, I keep going back and forth on these two phones

The One video seems more color accurate and the OIS really stands out when mounted in a car like this, and obviously has a wider FoV. But the S4 has much better audio recording quality (the One had some weird occasional popping going on too).
As far as front facing cameras, again the One has a wide FoV, but the color seems better on the S4's. Whether or not the One is color accurate on the front facing cam, the S4's just plain looks better.
Here's hoping HTC has a firmware update to address the audio quality coming, because if they fix that then the One takes this victory.

If you do a youtube search for HTC One Concert you will find a lot of really great audio recordings by the HTC One. I don't know why it was inferior in the car but I've heard other recordings with the HTC One where the audio sounded great. My own recordings with this phone sound much better than this video.

In the comments on the video he says the holder it's in is blocking the rear mic. That's why the audio is bad on the ONE no way to fix a huge obstruction like a holder no matter how good the mic is.
I've done three tests. Do you think it's just the output levels? Seems pretty strange.
I didn't see any options and everything is being processed in the same fashion.

Actually the holder had a very narrow grip. I was noting that if the audio was directed toward the lens it might sound better. Instead in these tests there is a big ole windshield.
I'll figure something out!
Any suggestions are welcome.

The mic on the HTC one is on the back, right next to the camera. The sound from the HTC One is echo'ed because it is actually being bounced off the windshield.
The mic on the S4 is on the bottom near the charging port I believe.
Great comparison video. The S4 seems much sharper and has better color.
Can you please do one in low-light? (night time driving) Would love it.
Nice FR-S btw. Ignore the riceburner comments, they are kids who don't know jack about cars. The FR-S is a great great car.
superb comparison.. what car are you testing it in btw? looks like the seats of an 86.

Live concert demo video/sound

First of all, I took the earphones protective plastic off them and put it to protect the camera, so don't know if the quality got affected, don't think so.
After 40 sec after the intro in the first video, the sound quality gets better.
The sound is better than live actually in the first example at least, it was way too loud in there, I didn't hear that well live as in the video lol.

Well actually the video isn't *that* bad, especially the parts where that crap blue light isn't the primary light that's shining. Audio quality of course was very good.
I think the recording turned out quite good, I've seen live shows with more professional cameras that did a worst job so the device you used really wasn't all that bad at all, for a mobile device.
:good:
Yeah,the lights were flashing like crazy, I think if I would've been closer it might have turned out great. But nonetheless the sound is awesome.
Had anyone else recorded live music with the m8 or any other phone for that matter?

The plastic will definitely affect quality, how much can vary. It is mass produced plastic with a very high tolerance for variances. It will be thicker in areas & thinner on others, on the order of microns probably, but could be enough to cause distortion. Hard to tell in the lighting how or if it was affected. As other mentioned, the audio is great.
Hey Guys,
I no its against the rules, but how can I make up my mind other than this...
I have an m7 and for me the main things are :
- speaker quality (m8 should be better right? deeper sounds, louder etc..)
- Camera (lack of ois I find disturbing)
- Mic quality???
I recorded this with m7 next to a f..huge speaker and the bass came out just right... will it be the same for the m8?

I hope the lack of OIS will not be a big issue...how do you guys see that?

Lack of OIS is a big issue. That's why I gonna stick with M7. It's real downgrade. Video are very shaky. Shooting movie with one hand gonna be unacceptable.

In general a big issue, or you are taking videos while you are moving? :S for example from a moving car, or I dont know... in concert it should be no problem...
and the htc one reduces the framerate in darker env...
(ps I am also not sure how to or what to do ..keep it or not +

Well lets take a simple real situation. I very often take video of my son, who does karate sport. Taking steady video of my son with M7 preserving stable image on any distance while he accomplishes performance is very easy. Even on big screen pictures looks very stable. Shooting video under mentioned conditions with non OIS camera is headache. Even watching video on 12" screen size looks disgusting. It is very shaky. Having watched many video samples from M8, I'm really disappointed, this feature being dismissed.

You can clearly hear, S5 has distortion on low frequency. M8 is better, but worse than M7
