Overall call quality on the device is excellent, I would even say its the equal of the s6 that it replaced. However, as someone that uses WiFi calling I do have to complain a bit here. Wifi calls come through fine but approximately 10 seconds in to the call my voice becomes choppy on the other end. I never have the issue on VoLTE so this is an issue with wifi calling not VOIP capabilities of the device. I do spend more time than average on the phone which is typically for me around 3 hours a day roughly sometimes as much as 5.
Quality is excellent for me, coming from an lg g3, i can say that the call quality is better, clear, crisp and louder than in g3.
Call quality is good on my end. I'm not sure about call quality on the other end since I've never asked but no one has complained about not being able to understand me so I guess it must be good enough.
i think it depends on counrty to country or cellular providers.
It is horrible. I came from AT&T using a Samsung Galaxy S4. Half my calls are so gargled that I cannot hear anyone, and they do not ring on the phone until my computer has rang for half of the set rings before it goes to voicemail. I am supremely disappointed with this phone and the Fi service. I am about to sell it for whatever I can get and go back to AT&T or try Verizon. This is not to mention all of the delayed and duplicate text messages.
Note: they are better when I turn off WiFi completely, so that the 5X is forced to use a cellular network over WiFi calling, but the quality is still worse than AT&T. I have more or less experienced the same poor call quality on all WiFi networks.
The call quality on this phone is terrible. I can't say whether it is just the phone or Google Fi's service, because I got them both at the same time. What I can say is that this phone is about to get sold due to how bad it is.
This phones weakest point is call quality. The speakerphone echos for the person on the line, and the mic is poor at maintaining the sound of my own voice. Callers frequently tell me my voice drops out like I'm talking from across the room.

I am also facing call quality issue. When i put the phone in speaker mode and talk, the other person can hear echo. Also the call quality is not that clear. Want to change the phone just because of this reason. Even if you have android what if basic Phone functionality is not working properly.
call quality suck the big one on this phone. it sounds like there is something rattling in the speaker half the time, tinny, and I always have issue hearing what some people say and they me.
Never was an issue on any of my htc phones. I guess Google dropped the ball as approving this phone for quality control
Aside from that I rarely talk on the phone so i dont have to deal with it too much fortunately.
Love the speakerphone use it for business calls all the time

Need some help guys and girls with my Z1 and also my wife's (they have the same issue) to let us know if this is normal for these phones or not?
List of issues below which we both have with the call quality.
1. When using viber or skype over WIFI the volume is turned up to the max on my phone but I can barely hear anyone even in a very quiet room.
2. When outside in a fairly noisy environment (town for example) I cannot hear ANYTHING apart from a muffled muted sound.
3. With the volume turned up to the max we can hear an echo so to speak a split second later with what we have just said.
4. The other person on their phone says sometimes it's very clear but normally it sounds like you are on speakerphone and/or very far away from the ear piece.
I have played around with the call settings by turning off noise suppression, playing with the EQ and everything else I can think of but so far I have not been able to fix it.
NOT interested in rooting whatsoever as if I cannot find a solution I may have to look for a new phone.
P.S I love everything else about this phone, the build quality, the camera just want to be able to use it to make phone calls.
I have a similar issue where if i'm holding the phone between my ear and my shoulder ( no hands on the phone ) , the person on the other end of the call says the same thing you've mentioned in point 4
"4. The other person on their phone says sometimes it's very clear but normally it sounds like you are on speakerphone and/or very far away from the ear piece"
this might sound funny, but i made my first ear-to-earpiece voice call yesterday on the Z3c, after having the phone for a couple of weeks. up to then, i've only used speakerphone for calls.
call quality is, frankly, BALLS. my gf sounded like a Transformer the other night. there's some awful digital treatment or filter or something. equalizer didn't seem to make much difference.
strange thing is: speakerphone sounds great, if a little softer than what i was accustomed to using. and the stereo speakers in general, for music, videos, etc. are great -- especially when you take into account the size of the phone and speakers.
so, i'm curious: what have you done in terms of settings to make non-speakerphone calls sound better?

And please, make your comments how others can hear you with and without loudspeaker "on".
I just used this phone for the first time on calls of any length. Thanksgiving and all that. I actually said, out loud, a couple of times, "Wow! This is the best phone I've used in a long time!" Those other phones would be iPhone 6, Moto X 2014, Moto X, and Galaxy Nexus
No problem making calls with phone itself or headset putting on.
Callers could not hear me until third redial or reboot. Factory reset did not work. Verizon replaced the phone about five days ago.
Same issue on intermittent basis. My suspicion is that being constantly on wifi due to weak data signal both at home and in the office has something to do with it. Calls via bluetooth in car work perfectly.
Having said that, never had those problems on previous phone ( SG Note 2). Same provider and location.
I get service in places in my house I didnt get with my lg optimus l90
Best phone I've ever had. Calls are crystal clear over mobile network or WiFi.
Excellent.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this phone, but my experience with call quality is horrendous. Wifi calling? Constant dropped calls, breaks up, people can't hear me. Full LTE bars? Constant dropped calls, breaks up, people can't hear me. My biggest disappointment with the phone is the call quality, its probably the worst in any phone I've ever had, and I was really hoping the new TruSignal tech by Qualcomm was going to make it exceptional, buts horrid.
When I'm calling with other phones (not all of them) I can hear quite a robotic sound in my front speak, but that's just a problem of the other person i guess. Otherwise it has pretty good "calling powers".
Best phone i've used for making call :good:
I mean it's a $600 phone
Phone is not usable if trying to place a call with Wifi Calling. I can hear the caller but the caller cannot understand what I'm saying. I don't know what else to try since I rely on Wifi Calling since I work in the basement of a hospital.

Terrible, constant high pitch sound always present when screen is on and a clicking sound that is like a clock. Always the same rate and always present even during calls. RMAing my Pixel 2 and my wifes Pixel 2 for the same reason.
My Pixel 2 has the same type of problem. When you are on a phone call and using the phone against your ear, you hear digital interference noises and ticking sounds. It is so very annoying and unusable.
I heard that turning NFC off help this for the 2 xl
I made one call today from my house and didnt have that problem but my NFC has been off since setting up the phone. I am on Fi and wifi calling as well. One off thing though is I did pair the device up with my Jeep and was playing pandora when a call came through over bluetooth. My Kenwood receiver picked the call up and immediately maxxed out the volume, the beep was loud enough to crackle my aftermarket speakers. Scared the **** outta me. I just immediately hit end call and dropped the volume down. I wouldnt doubt his very well may be an issue Kenwood though.
No issue here with call clarity. Maybe a small step down from my Turbo. But if there is one thing Motorola always nails is their radios.
Side question though, should these phones have a Face Sensor that locks the screen while on a phone call? Mine isn't locking and I was doing all manner of crazy things when my cheek touched the phone.

A little google searching suggests there's a link to Adaptive Brightness. I've re-enabled AB and will see what happens today.
Call quality seems to be good, but I have noticed an intermittent high pitched electronics whine. It's not on every call and not on every call with every person.
It's not a *fix*, but I find myself making and receiving actual phone calls less and less. These days just about every app has a high definition VOIP option available, so I find myself using that a lot. Hangouts, Messenger, Signal, etc. If you're making a lot of business calls daily or talking on the phone a lot with someone over a traditional voice call, I could see it as a dealbreaker. But moving forward, if there's a slight bug I can live with, some minor electronics whine over a legacy communication channel would be it.
I noticed the same problem from my pixel.. I was on a voice call using the Duo app, there a very low volume static clicking sound. I turned off NFC as this thread suggested and the clicking noise goes away; however, there's still some static noise. I wonder if this is a hardware issue...
Can any of you tell us where you got your GP2? Is it a Verizon Phone or did you order it from Google Store?
I just noticed this issue today, it is in line with the rest of your comments ("clock ticking", interference sounds, etc)
I have a Verizon Pixel 2, but I do not think it is limited to their phones. Hopefully Google is able to patch the issue in a future software update by disabling whatever is causing the issue during a phone call.
I assume a software fix will resolve the issue. It would be shocking to go to production with such a glaring problem.

Is the Pixel XL screen burn-in not a glaring problem?
Is anyone else having an issue where you place a call and nobody can hear you on the other end?
Just got my Pixel 2 XL Black last night, No clicking or Buzzing sounds. Call quality is clear. Speaker is bloody loud had to turn it down VS my original Pixel XL.Side Note NFC is on I use NFC daily.
My Pixel2 from google store works perfect. No sound issues. In fact better than my Pixel. The signal at my home left my pixel constantly jumping onto wifi, now I have bars and never goes on wifi. Using Verizon pre-paid.
Tried a GSM call today (Pixel 2 to Nexus 5X) and it was fine. Nothing wrong / Nothing special.
Generally I use VoIP that works also good.

Same issue, AND the beta didn't fix the annoying clicking sound either.
Has anyone else had an issue with Clear Calling blocking the voice young children? Here is what I mean. Because Clear Calling blocks out ambient noise, it would as designed, mute/reduce the sound of my kids talking behind me when I am on a call, however, I have noticed that it seems my 9 year old is also muted when he is the one making the call, and should be the primary voice. For example, he will call my wife from my phone, and despite the fact he will be speaking into the phone properly at a normal volume, my wife will hear nothing on her end of the call, as if he isn't even talking, yet if I speak over him, she will instantly hear me just fine.
Curious if anyone else has encountered this and if Googles algo for Clear Calling just automatically blocks sounds in a particular frequency band. Just really inconvenient to turn Clear Calling off just so that he can use the phone.

Tell the kid to try talking in a deeper voice, bet you it will work then. It really is just the stupidest algorithm imaginable, just cuts things out that are beyond the normal adult human voice frequency range.
