trying to see how many do not have sound

[potatolover1102]

Wow that is awful! Glad you pointed this out. Defect or not?

[zog1977]

I want to see if I should take mine back.
Gonna call Verizon and bestbuy tomorrow

[anonymous239411]

Just checked mine I have sound. What about you voice recorder? Maybe we can see if its a Mic issue

[potatolover1102]

Voice recorder is better but horrible quality and really scratchy

[anonymous239411]

When playing back the video hit volume up maybe the volume is turned down

[anon(75289)]

Oopse, I voted "yes it does" but then I noticed there was an "I can barely hear it" option which I definitely should have picked.

[potatolover1102]

My volume was all the way to the top and practically distorting what little was there lol but man the video was impressive for have almost no light!

[AndroidXTC]

The playback volume is very weak.

[Edwill86]

thats kind of disappointing.. can this be fixed ota or is it a hardware problem?

[anonymous239411]

I would assume software could fix this. I remember having blackberry and the speed dial tone used to be low after they sent out an its update it was much louder. I think the ringed volume too was bumped up and possibly the speaker volume. So I have hope it can be fixed

When I played back video, the sound is very low even when the volume is to the max. When I turned on the SRS sound enhance option it sounded better, but It's still not as loud as I thought it was going to be.

For the people that have sound, can you still hear it when you record something from a distance like a tv a few feet away?

Yes you can hear a tv but the playback volume is very low.

Yours does sound fine, but I tried it with mine and couldn't hear netflix from my ipad only 3 feet away.

It's not just video -- I have to practically yell for voice commands.

Interesting, my voice commands can hear me just fine.

im uploading another one that might show the issue.. how do i post it so that the video plays in the forum through youtube



here it is! you can see it gets quiet as i move the phone arms length away from my face.

[zog1977]

i was recording my son literally a foot away. he was yelling and you can barley hear it on the video.

So I did a test like yours and found out something weird, for my phone, if theres background noise, my voice suddenly becomes a lot clearer and louder even though i now had my camera further away from me, but when i mute the tv and stop the background noise, my voice suddenly becomes quiet again from far away.

[zog1977]

Here are two vids

First is with my HTC aria. I was about 40 feet away

Second is with my tb, I was about 10 feet away with the tv volume up to about 30






You can not hear the audio on the vid from the tb.

Any ideas? Software issue? Hardware?
