Speakers not as loud on my unit?

[BlackPrince310]

I've had the 32GB unlocked One basically since it became available in the US. Before that, I had the AT&T model. On both phones, the speakers sounded great and were loud enough to hear, but not extremely loud like some people are claiming. If I turn on the loudspeaker in the car I struggle to hear it just like I would with any other phone. It doesnt sound noticeably louder than other phones I have, just clearer. Is my unit defective? Is there a way to increase the max speaker volume?

Mine is the same way. Quality is there but it's not very loud. Hardly Boom-like loud. It's loud for games but not music.

My att model seems pretty loud! Dumb question but is boom sound enabled?

There's a setting for BoomSound? I'm aware of the setting for Beats but not Boom.

Yea I compared my ONE with my GS4. The quality is better on the ONE but the volume is louder on the GS4. Of course in turning up my ONE's speakers to around 90 percent I noticed the popping sound. Going to have to exchange again lol

WOW Madlaw! You called it. I feel like a moron. Please forget my last post! My bad. But I guess that leaves the question...Can it be turned off maybe in dev mode?

I have both and you're right about the volume being louder on the S4 but obviously not as good. Hopefully they will allow the volume to be increased in the next update.

I can confirm that mine does not seem to have any popping sounds that I notice. I'd exchange it too. Let us know how the new model holds up!

I can go to 100% without popping/cracking. Has anyone here done any tweaks to increase the max volume?

I will. I originally picked it up Saturday night and noticed the original had the issue where the top of the screen sticks out. I tried to ignore it but every time I pulled the notification bar down It would catch my finger. Exchanged yesterday for a new one and now it has the speaker issue. I know all devices have their defective units in a batch but 2 in a row kind of sucks. Oh well I will just try another one

Beats turned on = softer

Beats turned off = louder

 

[ectoren]

Beats turned on = softer

Beats turned off = louder

....and that's the best answer y'all gonna get.
