Poor Call Quality - HTC Incredible S

Anyone else here having hissing/crackling in the background on calls with people?
I have checked settings, I'm not roaming, and the phone is stock out of the box.
With the speaker up to highest and 2nd highest setting I can hear hissing and crackling on several calls. People on the other end say they can hear themselves echoing as well.
Tested a Nexus S and iPhone and both don't have the problem.
Wondering if its just a bad device or issue with the quality of the speaker in the phone(which HTC is known for)

To be more specific, the dead air(in between conversation) sounds hissy/crackling.
I can also hear myself in the earpiece when I talk.
Tried same SIM on nexus s and iphone 4(no problems)

erhm.... LOL?
idk where ur livin or what kinda of provider ur using, but im like 100% sure no one in holland or surrounded (since i dont know the state of other country's have this problem)
so no...

Thank you for that informative reply....

Hi! I wrote it before, because i have the same problem in Hungary... People say they dont understand what iam saying... Echoing everytime.. i try it with another sim it wasnt better...
What can we do whit it??? Iam very angry about it!

your very welcome, and most likely its your provider not the phone, forgot to finish my sentence sometimes im busy and forget to add the rest of what i wanted to say.

Turns out, if the volume is turned up anything beyond 50% of the volume rocker, the sound distorts and can hear very low crackling.
With setting 50% and below crackling is not there.
Maybe a blown speaker? Can anyone test this out on their IS so I know whether to swap it out or not.
Thanks

With the higher volume than 70%, i can hear a little crackilng... So, same problem!

Same problem here, but not with all people (60 % problems ; 40 % - OK.), just with some of them (Nokia users in special)

Which problem? Eco or crackling?

Can someone do some test about the crackling problem?

Exactly how I'd describe the sound quality of the Incredible S.

I wouldn't say there's crackling but it does sound a little harsh.

Eco (is heard by the person that I am talking to)

Waiting for new feedback about crackling problem...

Just bought one of these and made first phone call. I always have earpiece volume on full on every phone I have and I could definitely hear a faint but noticeable buzz / distortion from earpiece when other person spoke.
Oh well I've got 7 days to find a fix or it goes back. I wonder if these are faulty units or all incredible s devices do this.
Can owners who don't have this problem at all chime in ?

Loud Speaker hack please anyone?

Hello does anybody know or have a hack to make the speaker louder? I hate to say it but its not as loud especially on the phone call.
Also i already exchanged it for a new phone and pretty much same. Its not mind blowing loud like people say ,,that's hype.
Seriously anyone here may know of a way to update some files to make this ***** louder? My galaxy note 2 have that hack and BOY ITS FREAKING AWESOME MIND BLOWINGLY LOUD LOL
please help
It's pretty loud and it much clearer with bests audio enabled. Sorry to say your deaf and you don't make threads for requests

K c'mon man o I'm deaf now come on man take a look around on Google I'm not the only one that having this problem I've been googling for this phone like I said its loud but its not mind boggling or mind blowingly loud
Please ask these questions in the Q&A section.
the speakers are already pretty darn loud. not really much left to do with them.
I would have to agree that they aren't as loud as I though they'd be. I compared it to an Iphone 4s and it's marginally louder... Now the sound quality on the other hand is much richer than any other phone speaker I've ever heard.
A speaker hack would be awesome, as long as it doesn't reduce the sound quality.

Sorry, have to agree with post that says phone is loud enough.
If you feel it's volume is insufficent then either
1) your volume is turned down
2) your device is faulty
3) possible hearing impairment

I don't wish to get into a slanging match with you, or anyone else. I did consider if my response was wise, and hoped that it wouldn't have elicited the response that it did. You obviously have a very different opinion of loud. I did wonder if I was mistaken and you weren't referring to the HTC One . I haven't been influenced in my opinion by anything I read anywhere, my opinion is based solely on listening to my HTC One through its speakers at various volume settings with music and videos.

You telling me you think you tube video is loud on htc one? Dude you're crazy. You must of seriously doing it in library lol
@OP
There's a sony xloud hack scattered in the xda forums. Once you port it on HTC One it should increase the loudness by multiple levels. Take for example my old 2011 HTC Phone. Just 1 level from the lowest setting could make it already sound loud enough for people to hear it clearly within 3 meters.
Whilst when disabled you can't even hear anything unless you put the speaker in your ear and you'll hear only a tiny sound.
So how do we get it to
work..
?

I don't understand why everybody is bagging on this guy cause I made my first phone call with the phone and I was definitely surprised at how NOT LOUD the volume was. I even tried turning it up... definitely was a little inadequate for my taste. I mean I haven't said much said that was only one call and one call only but I seriously would have preferred the volume to have been louder personally.
the speakerphone during the call definitely way too low
The speaker volume in calls is a little too low, I will give you that, but then we are not trying to use the speaker phone in a crowded room or trying to let every single person on a crowded train hear your conversation.
As for youtube and the music app, I have yet to hear a phone best the volume or quality of the HTC One speakers. Iphone ? HAHAHA please don't make me laugh so much i'll bust a gut!
As for Note 2 volume, sure, it might be loud, but for crying out loud, that phone is HUGE!

You are either the biggest troll or the biggest tard out. Obviously hes an htc one fan, considering he bought it and is posting the the device specific forum. Please OP quit posting about this, you want your ears to bleed than go get a sound system, not a phone

no, I don't have this problem.
try cleaning the speakers at the top and bottom gently with a soft toothbrush.
I was asking about rom/unlocked as there are some apps/tweaks you can install to improve sound, but all need root.

microphones not working properly

Hello,
is anyone of you having problem with the microphones?
i am, and apparently a lot of other people are complaining on sony official forums!
my phone is brand new,never felt from any height,but still people are telling me that they having really hard times understanding what i am telling them!!
they are reporting muffled voice, that comes and goes, sometimes turning robotic or with statics background.
not to mention the ****ing second microphones, that when is enabled make impossible for the other person to understand me at all!!
in your opinion can it be a software issue of maybe something realetd to a bad sealing??from what is possible to read on the internet, is not so uncommon to find phones damaged from water
Try to disable microphone noise suppression option. It is located in settings / call settings.

The person on the otherside can hear your voice loud for two factors, one is the cellular connection is really great and second one is the in-call volume is set to max. And you're listing the voice loud as you've mentioned that the volume is set to maximum. I don't see any problem here

If you don't want too loud sound, then just lower the in call volume
