Allegedly Sprint and Harman Kardon have done a speaker deal which is exclusive to Sprint customers. Would HTC actually alter a complete production line for one carrier?

If true seems a bit of a crappy thing to do to others?

It seems there is a line in the default.xml to enable it. (similar to Beats audio)

Having flashed to the RUU GPE conversion I don't have the stock default.xml so can't check.

Apparently there is also an RUU out for Sprint customers

I'm hoping it's just a eq like the beats audio software, if not I'll be a sad panda

you can activate harman/kardon feature on default.xml file but for me I'm not noticing any diff

Are the speakers made by h/k?

Actually probably not made by them but maybe they helped with the amp and tuning it

It's in the International Rom in the default xml that's right, however the libs are missing. Same as wen can enable the beats toggle but due missing libs, it's just a useless toggle. That's why you guys don't here a difference

However my team is looking into that and is going to try to make it work for us international users too.

So you believe it is simply a software issue and the hardware is the same? Would the RUU the Sprint users have hold the libs?

Where are you guys seeing the Harmon entry on the default xml? I only see boomsound and beats. Is it in another part of the file? Can't search it now as I'm on the train..

Edit nm I found it
