HTC EVO 4G :: HTC EVO Poor Picture And Poor Sound Quality

Jul 23, 2010

I use to own a palm pre before I switched to HTC EVO. I think the evo is a great phone but the two things I missed so much about my palm pre is the camera and the sound qualities.

The EVO is said to use 8MP for its camera but honestly the camera quality is nothing compare to the palm pre. Simply put, the camera and the sound output on the evo sucks.

You can clearly notice the difference between the pictures I took using the pre and the evo. The pre gives far better picture quality and also better sound output. I always enjoy plays my sounds or using pandora on my pre, but with the evo the different is the case. The sound quality with the evo is horrible even when plugged to good speakers.

I bearly take picture with the evo because I am used to good picture quality with my pre.

I have had the evo for less than two weeks and i am seriously thinking of returning it because of these two issues.

I really want to know, is this poor picture and poor sound qualities a thing with the evo in general or is it just with the particular evo that I got.

HTC Incredible :: Poor Incredible Sound Quality - Poor Verizon Customer Service

May 26, 2010

I (like hundreds of others) have had a call quality problem with the two Droid Incredibles I purchased for my wife and myself when they were released on April 30th. Verizon recognized that there was a problem and replaced both devices with ones manufactured about a month later (5/02) and the same issue with poor voice quality continued.

We love the device EXCEPT for the lack of ability to understand callers. So, I asked Verizon to extend our 30-day opt out to give them an opportunity to work out the issues with this device. I just received a call from Verizon customer service (which I could barely understand) and was told they would not extend the 30 day period and my option was to live with the poor sound quality or switch to another device. Verizon has no other devices that were interested in at this time so well be canceling these two lines (and one other) and returning to T-Mobile. T-Mobile may not have the best coverage, but they do have great customer service, unlike Verizon.

HTC Eris :: Poor Sound Quality On KaosFroyo

Nov 1, 2010

Is my speaker blown or does anyone else have a problem with the qound quality when playing anything through the external speaker on KaosFroyo? Everytime I play any music or even a rng tone through the speaker it always sounds tinny and distorted. Everything sounded great before when I had the stock 2.1 Firmware.

Nexus :: One VoIP Sound Quality Is Very Poor

Jan 6, 2010

I have both a Droid and a Nexus One. I have both of them set up for VoIP calls, and both are set up the same way. Here's how I set them up:

How To Set Up VoIP on the Nexus One Google Phone using Sipdroid for Free Calls | Dave's Tech Shop

How To Set Up VoIP on the Motorola Droid on Verizon Wireless using Sipdroid for Free Calls | Dave's Tech Shop

The call quality on the Nexus One is much worse than the Droid. I did repeated tests with both. And I used WiFi, so it can't be a difference between VZW and T-Mobile.

Anyone else tried VoIP on the Nexus One yet? I wonder if I have a defective phone or if this is a bigger issue.

The VoIP call quality problems are worse when using a headset on the Nexus One! VoIP quality on the Nexus One is marginal to poor without a headset, but with a headset it is unacceptable. I have tested four different headsets now. I have also tested those headsets on the Droid, and they are good. So the problem is the Nexus One, not any particular headset. My first thought was that I had a bad headset jack. However, after more trouble shooting I tend to think its not as simple as that. Music sounds fine through the headset. It is only VoIP sound that sucks when using a headset. The problem is so bad that phone calls using a headset are not workable.

Summary of Nexus One and VoIP:
* VoIP sound quality is marginal on WiFi with no headset.
* Music sound is good with headset on Nexus One.
* Headsets I'm testing with are good with VoIP and music on Droid.
* VoIP on Nexus One with a headset has poor sound quality.

HTC Desire :: Poor Sound Quality When Pairing With Parrot Ck3100 Handsfree Device

Oct 27, 2010

I experience poor sound quality after my pairing my htc desire phone via bluetooth with my parrot ck3100 handsfree device. The handsfree set is connected to my car stereo, and I need almost to turn up to full volume to be able to listen to the person on the side of the line. This problem doesnt occur with other cell phones i've tried, like nokia and samsung. I actually hear the person absolutely clearly with other cell phones. So this has to be some compatibility issue with my htc desire, or there might be some setting which can resolve this problem?

HTC EVO 4G :: Youtube Video Quality Poor On Phone

Jun 6, 2010

Very pleased so far. Still need to learn Android. I was wondering is the youtube video quality poor on the EVO or Android in general? I'm so used to my old 3GS that was jail broken, the quality was excellent.
But now they all look so choppy on the EVO.

Motorola Droid X :: Poor Audio Quality While Charging?

Aug 23, 2010

I am trying to listen to pod casts on my DX while it is charging via USB. For the first 5 minutes or so it works great but then I start to get static. The static goes away as soon as I unplug the USB cable. Same thing happens in the car while listening to pod casts and plugged into my car charger.

HTC EVO 4G :: Poor Bluetooth Earpiece Audio Quality With Handset

Jun 24, 2010

How is Bluetooth audio quality with your Evo? I'm using a Jabra Extreme earpiece and am experiencing poor audio quality. One person with whom I was speaking said that I sounded like I was running or was in a windy location (I was calling from a quiet hotel room). On my end there was noticeable static. As a test, I hung up and paired the Jabra with my Blackberry 8830, and the person with whom I was speaking said that I sounded a little distant, but otherwise clear. On my end, the audio quality was good.

HTC Incredible :: Poor Signal Quality Inside Buildings?

May 13, 2010

So far I have had bad luck with the signal/call quality. This is not just me not liking the number of bars but actually loosing all signal, not being able to make or receive calls, and it draining the crap out of the battery.Facts:

1) When outside, in my car, near the windows in buildings, the call quality is great

2) A Moto Droid in the same office gets acceptable signal and call quality

3) This is an issue anytime I'm in a building; Lowes, Walmart, the pet store, a mexican resturant... anything larger then my house.

4) My old iPhone never a problem in all of these places.

5) The side affect is it kills my battery life. I purchased the seido extended battery and it is always down to 30% by the time i leave work at 5pm (10 hours off the charger) On the weekends it lasts 40-60 hours no problem.

After talking with a Verizon Tech she told me they would send me a new phone. But due to the back order I won't get it before the end of the month. Which scares me since that puts me out of the 30 day return policy. So I asked her about that and she said this would extend it another 30 days. Which I wish I had in writing but heres for hoping this works because I love the phone when it works

HTC Incredible :: Is Red-eye Bubble Causing Poor Photo Quality?

Aug 9, 2010

I now understand that the strange red-eye housing over my camera lens, which looks so much like an android (or maybe an HTC engineer) after a long night of drinking, is purported as protection for the actual lens. Why HTC didn't just settle for a sliding blackout cover instead of this bulky lesion is anybody's guess. I know that it's relative permanence over my lense will certainly not protect my photos from any dirt and scratches which this protector picks up, so I have been extremely careful to keep it clean and un-scratched. What I suspect is that this lens cover may be responsible for some of my camera quality issues, such as high noise, a reddish tint which tends to flicker on and off, some periodic jerking of the autofocus (flashing out of focus) when you are hardly moving, and indoor shots which are much, much darker than life without the flash. Hey, I get that this camera, no matter how many megapixels they can list, doesn't come with a world-class sensor, but I would like to know from anyone with a background in photography what they think of my concern that even a clean, transparent cap can reduce the amount of light entering the actual lens, while adding its own reflective noise. The same with the opaque cylinder which surrounds the lens (the red eye housing), from a photo-quality standpoint is looks to me like it's only good for cutting the light. If removing this cover would make a significant difference, then it may still not be the best solution as it leaves the lens at risk, but I am still interested in any qualified opinions on how much this red-eye housing causes, if any. It may be good for the future of smart phone design if they see that they have educated consumers, who are paying attention to such possible problems.

Motorola Droid :: Poor Signal Quality Compared To LG Phone

Nov 29, 2009

I have had my droid for 21 days now. The first week I was frustrated because I could not use my "backup assistant" which I have used for a long time to transfer my contacts. ( im sure they will come up with an "app" for that soon, and it works very differently than my old LG. Once I worked through the basics of using the phone I started to notice I have very poor reception at my home. (This is really bugging me because my husband has the FREE LG flip phone and has perfect service everywhere in the house) I buy the best and he gets the free phone and he talks anywhere but I have to go out on the back porch or stand by the back door with my head against the window in order to talk to somehone. Part of me really wants to return it for that reason alone, but I love the other features of the phone and don't know if I want to give them up. Has anyone else had issues with poor signal quality>

HTC Incredible :: Poor Call Quality On Other End Of Line - Worse While Traveling

May 20, 2010

I'm having some call quality issues but they're mainly on the other end of the line. Those I'm speaking to are picking up some static/background noise. I really don't have any complaints with the call quality on my end. Also, I've noticed it seems to be worse when I'm in the car traveling. If I'm at home and make a call, others tell me the call is clear. Anyone else experience a similar scenario?

Android :: Poor Audio Quality Captured From Microphone With MediaRecorder / Implement Them?

Aug 11, 2009

I've implemented "Audio Capture Setup and Start" example (http:// developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html) with small modification - the output format is MPEG_4 not THREE_GPP.

The result - records with extremely poor audio quality.

Could you help me to understand where is error and how is possible to do really good audio records with Android?

I've done an experiment with Camcorder - standard Android application. Sound quality of the video is same poor. The audio signal is extremely low (quite).

Is it "by design" or may be some hardware problem (T-Mobile G1)?

I've found description similar problem here - http://osdir.com/ml/AndroidDevelopers/2009-06/msg00752.html - "Microphone audio capture with emulator is of very poor quality". In my case this problem reproduces on the real device. Unfortunately I have not found answer. I read about some "custom" encoders.. but have not found any example how implement them.

Android :: Microphone Audio Capture With Emulator Is Of Very Poor Quality / Make It High?

Jun 2, 2009

As a first step toward a speech recognition project, we wrote a simple voice recording application based on the information in this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...

It is working; however, the audio is extremely poor -- too staticy for our needs code...

As a comparison, here is a similar audio file captured with audacity on a PC: http://juzzam.org:9090/myAudioFile_onPC.mp3

Has anyone been able to record high quality audio with the emulator? If not, is it any better on the android dev phone?

According to the documentation of MediaRecorder, there is only one audio encoder "AMR (Narrowband) audio codec" and three output formats--3gpp, mpeg, and raw AMR: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder.html

Here is the Activity source: http://juzzam.org:9090/RecordMicrophone.java.txt

We are testing on Windows XP, with a Logitec USB microphone, eclipse ganymede, and we are using all the defaults for an android 1.5 app (no emulator command-line options.. we defined the sdcard in the avd manager).

HTC Hero :: Poor Youtube Video Quality With Hero

Oct 22, 2009

Today at Sprint store I played the same YouTube video on the Hero and the Pre side by side. The Pre looked great, the Hero had a very low frame rate and poor resolution. I hope someone can tell me something was wrong with the Hero and it is not always like this.I am seriously considering buying a Hero and have been spending a lot of time at my local Sprint story getting to know it. Today I was trying out flash video on many sites and they all looked bad like I described above. I just assumed the videos had a poor source until I tried a YouTube video on the Pre. It is hard to believe all the reviews I have been seeing of the Hero wouldn't have hammered it for this if it were a common problem.

HTC EVO 4G :: Poor 4 G Performance?

Jul 13, 2010

Am I the only one, or is there a problem with the EVO and 4G speeds? In the Houston Area, I get anywhere from around 600 kb/s to 2600 kb/s speed. In most all cases, the 3G speed is faster than the 4G. At home, I average around 700 kb/s with 2-4 bars signal strength showing. Tech support is working on this with me and trying to determine if it's a phone problem, or tower problems. I had a chance today to journey around the area within about a 10 mile distance, thus insuring it changed towers. Service stinks on 4g, to say the least. Clearwire tells Sprint Tech Support that the tower for my home has low use, and good throughput. If the tower is good, and the software on the tower, then there may be a HTC EVO problem of some kind as this is the same on 3 different HTC EVO's purchased within 2 days of each other.

HTC EVO 4G :: Poor Signal Strength

Jun 6, 2010

I don't know if this is because of Sprint or the EVO but in my house I barely get 1 bar of signal and people can barely hear me on the other end of the call. This is my first Sprint phone so I don't know if it is the service or not. I came from ATT and never had these issues with my iPhone before. I am a little concerned about whether I exchange phone or am I going to just have to give up on Sprint.

HTC EVO 4G :: Poor Power Management?

Jul 3, 2010

I went for a drive today and put the Evo on the mount I built for my car, plugged it in to the radio and also in to the car charger. I have Slacker Radio set to leave the screen on as long as it is connected to power. My battery was probably about 95% and during the drive, it was charging and, while listening to Slacker, the screen stayed on. However, not long before I reached my destination, my battery got to 100%, the green LED was on, and the screen would follow the 30 second shut off that my phone is set to. I could no longer get Slacker to recognize when the phone was connected to power. Anyone have a similar experience? I'm hoping this was isolated to that one instance (some perfect storm of other settings, use, etc), but I have a feeling it isn't.

Android :: Poor GPS Accuracy - Changing After Every Second

Jul 16, 2009

I'm having a weird problem with GPS accuracy. Basically, I check the GPS accuracy in a background thread after the user clicks a report button, and show the accuracy in a progress dialog, changing second by second. (Code is below.) The following strange thing happens:

1. If the user clicks more or less immediately on the button after taking the phone out, accuracy is unsurprisingly pretty poor to start off with, say more than 100m. But the accuracy never really improves very much while the user is running the background thread. There is some improvement, but it's slow and it never gets very accurate. 2. However, if the user gets the phone out and then waits for several seconds *without* clicking on the button and running the background thread, and *then* clicks on the button, the accuracy quickly improves and becomes very good. When they click on the button, the accuracy shows up as fine - within the same length of time............
