Why does the HTC One have such latency issues? Especially audio.

(Sorry- my first post.... was supposed to be reply to the very first quote!!)

Totally agree. I switched from iphone to HTC One. I have had no regrets in doing so until I tried out some music apps. The latency is so bad. I have tried many different instrument apps and the result is always the same. Up to half a second delay makes audio totally unusable and utterly inferior to the quality of the apple products. Bit gutted to say the least. I have asked people who are not musicians if they can hear the delay and usually it's a no. It's a subtle thing to some ears, but for anyone who wants to actually use the audio apps how they're meant to be used, it's impossible!
 
I was having really bad latency issues as well. After much troubleshooting a tech guy and I discovered that it was caused by the Magnification setting one of my family members turned on. It's in Settings > Accessibility > Magnification Gestures. This is what caused it for me but might not be what is causing it for you guys, hope it helps anyway.
