Call quality - HTC 10 Real Life Review

When you call granny, does she keep saying "Huh?! Wut?!" or does the conversation flow pretty well? Rate this thread to express how you feel about the HTC 10's call quality. A higher rating indicates that calls are clear and crisp, and that regardless of background noise, you can hear the other party clearly (and with ample volume) and they can hear you.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Definitely not top notch. HTC should have included some kind of noise suppression feature like other OEMs like LG.

Mine is good. I didn't experience any issue, phone call is very clear.

Mine keeps cutting out.

Very clear for me. I bought my Dad an HTC 10 as well, so HTC 10 to HTC 10 is BEYOND amazing. Its super clear.

The best out of my all my previous phones, all samsungs. Calling my wife at work from home, I have never sounded better, she says. The speaker phone was also superb even when I was talking and playing a game, she couldn't tell I was tapping on th screen.
Could be a mix of a stronger signal I get with this phone at home. I'm always green whereas with all my other Sammy's my reception was pretty much yellow all the time, never green. Wifi calling with T-Mobile also helps.

I actually have the total opposite. My call volume is sooooo low. I constantly have to repeat or ask the other end what did you say.

I have same issue.

Same for me, the other end oftens ask me to repeat myself again.

My voice is not heard by the other side the first 3-5 seconds.

Same problem
Came from an M8 with no issues, same callers, locations. not happy

much better than iphone 5s, if a bit quiet

Superior wi-fi and cellular connectivity to most other phones

Good quality, clear and loud enoguh, but I feel it's a bit worse than my old M7. Definetly better than Samsung or iphone for that matter

I live in the middle of London so haven't had any complaints previously and this is no different. Crystal clear (on Vodafone).

Got phone few days ago and in some parts of the city when talking normally on the phone, people on the other side can't hear me, as if mic not working. I check the signal strength and it is 4 to 5 bars. I tested with and without VoLTE, no difference. Also the earpiece seems to produce tiny sound and lacks in low end. On top of that, most other external noise is present and other person hears it, as if mic isn't trying to eliminate noise.

My in call volume is pretty low too. I'm trying to find an app that will increase it without having to root.

[Q] Call Quality on Xperia Z/ZL

There have been a few posts that say the call quality is bad.
GSM Arena's review states that calls are loud and clear, but the speakerphone performance is awful.
(Link to specific page for GSM Arena review)
While everyone is wondering about the display and battery life (two very important qualities in a phone),
can anyone provide details about the CALL quality?
yeah yeah,.... a few weeks ago it was cool hyping the xperia z in reviews....now it seems that bashing it is the new way to go...i've even seen reviews that complain about the too edgy design of the device, and it doesn't feel as good in the hand as the s3 htc one does...
(don't get me wrong, nothing against you, but people should stay cool about all the upcoming news on how bad this and that aspect of the z is...)
Disappointed by the loudspeaker, but "loud and clear" calling is good for me. Don't use speaker really so don't care too much about that.

All they actually say is:
The built-in secondary microphone is used for active noise-cancellation, so calls are loud and clear even in noisy environments.

The way that's phrased makes me wonder if they actually tried making calls with it, or if they are simply noting the fact that it has active noise cancellation.
I've only seen one review that specifically mentions call quality, and it's fairly negative: http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Sony-Xperia-Z-Review_id3247/page/4
call quality is fine but nothing exceptional. The earpiece is a bit weak for our taste, meaning that you may have some trouble hearing your callers when in noisy locations. Do not expect wonders from the quality – everything will sound quite high and digital. Strangely, the sound that gets transmitted through the microphone of the Xperia Z gets somewhat modulated and appears distorted on the other end of the line. Lowering the volume can help you to remedy this issue, but still, it's something we though was worth mentioning because we haven't encountered it in many other phones.

Here, I've got a 8/10.
But there is no details...
any more opinions?
Call quality (both ends of the call) is excellent, quality and volume are top-notch.
The Z has a "waterproof" main speaker and the output is quite low, so not great when used as a speakerphone. The ZL on the other hand has a freakin amazing speaker - really loud.

Call quality?

I had an HTC One until last Thursday. It had to go back because the camera was defected.
I also noticed the call quality was probably the lowest I've experienced any phone! There was a constant hissing noise which was often louder than the caller, there were popping sounds and other distracting noises. In general. It was terrible.
I have a new HTC One On order and it should be with me this week. I'm hoping that this unit won't suffer the same low call quality as the last.
For those who already own the one how would you describe the call quality?
Absolutely fine for me. Maybe you had a generally defective device?
Best call quality of any phone I've owned, regardless of all the other issues I've had with it

So I've had the HTC One for about 10 days now, and I have to say that it has by far the best call quality of any phone I have ever owned (and that's a lot of phones).
As an example, I was in a busy shopping center the other day, near a children's play area, and took a call, so was expecting the usual complaints from the other side about the screaming in the background, but when I questioned the other party, they said that the could hear the background noise but it was not distracting.
By comparison, I took a call from a colleague with an iPhone 5 last week, and had to ask them why they were talking to me while playing with their children (the screams were deafening!), but it turned out that their daughter was in another room already. The background suppression on the One seems to work very well.
My mother is hard of hearing and calling her on a mobile was previously fraught with difficulties, but she has mentioned how much clearer I sound when calling her now.
I have not experienced any hissing, clicks or other interference.
I'm also impressed with the call quality in poor areas. I was a little concerned that the One was showing poorer reception at home that my previous HTC Sensation. Experiences on that phone had shown that it was difficult to make or receive calls in specific places in the house, but using the One in the same locations suffers no degradation.
The same effect can be seen when using the One with a variable signal for example on a train; places where calls would drop with other phones are now accessible.
My classmate had got the phone and I have used it, the call quality is great.
Just reinforcing what everybody else is saying, call quality is brilliant for me to.

ive had numerous HTC handsets and this is by far the best call quality so far:good:
Thanks for your replies. The unit I sent back must have been dodgy in the camera and phone department!
Looking forward to the new one this week.

Speakerphone (loudness, clarity)

Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the LG Nexus 5X's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Not bad until you reach max volume. Then it becomes spiked with glitch sounds and really becomes tinny.
I was using this phone for almost 2 hours on a conference call. I had it on speakerphone the entire time, but it was so weak that I had to huddle around my phone. My previous phone, Galaxy S3, was at least twice as loud and had significantly better audio clarity.
This speakerphone sounds like it's sitting in a box of kleenex that's been submerged in honey.
Very tinny, and prone to experiencing glitches.
For me the speakers are clean and loud enough - if i want to play loud music I would just connect my phone to an external speaker.
My device sometimes stop playing sound at all, like while watching video on YouTube sound would stop coming through speaker but videos keep playing, this also found on spotify too a restart fixes the problem. Is it some sort of software glitch or my unit is faulty? I decided to take it to the cpw store but it happens randomly
I think its everything is good.
Tinny it is.
compared to nexus 5 this phone has tinny speakers. what good does speakers in front do if they sound shallow. and according to specs, nexus 5x does have a few less DB than nexus 5.

I was about 20 seconds into a call before we realized "this isn't going to work". Very low volume, poor sound quality,.
I find the speakerphone really poor on this phone.
I previously had a Samsung Galaxy S4 which had a great speaker phone - it was ideal for use in the car hands-free from the mobile phone holder.
However with the Nexus 5X I can barely hear the caller. The speakerphone just cannot handle high volume - maximum volume is not loud enough and it gets badly distorted and tinny when going over 3/4 volume (surely the only part of the speakerphone volume that anyone would use?). I also have issues that the caller cannot hear me either.
Honestly I was hoping for better. Times I want to listen to music but don't have anyway to connect to an external speaker it seems quiet. Turn it up to the max and its like the speaker can't handle the volume. I just came from a LG G Flex. Good phone but no support. However it had a rear facing speaking but it was loud and clean at max volume. Kind of feel like I went backwards with the speak build.
I expected it to be pretty bad after hearing complaints about it. It doesn't seem bad to me and I'm coming from a Moto X 2014, which has really good speakers.
Coming from an LG G2 it sounds the same - glad it's front firing.
The speaker on my 5X is much better than my last phone, an LG G2, so I'm pretty happy. Maybe some are better than others?
One thing I recently learned that, to me, is counterintuitive, but it works with both this phone and my old Samsung tablet (which, with 2 speakers, isn't really much louder than the 5X). If you put the phone on a hard surface, speaker facing down, it becomes much louder and fuller. For my tablet, with the speakers on the bottom, I keep it vertical leaning against something.
My Nexus 4 that I have given to my wife , leaves it for dead in all repects, its garbage period!
This phone - set to its loudest settings - is quiet compared to any of the last 5 phones I've had: Galaxy Note 4, Droid MAXX, Droid RAZR MAXX, Thunderbolt, even a Droid Eris.
Coming from the m8 it's an unfair comparison considering that they are in different tiers, but I find the 5x speaker to be pretty weak, not even average. But it's fine for everyday stuff.
Just don't expect to show cool songs to your friends in noisy environments.

Since several weeks a proper phone call is impossible seems like the speaker went down. On Nokia forum I posted it also but no administrator reacts

Bring it to warranty. Might be a physical problem.
After using a couple of weeks, it seems call quality is better to me. I have previously used Motorola and Samsung in mid range. Nokia 5 has better call quality.
Nokia 5 Call quality is very good

Network is a factor. But the device itself too.
Coming from Huawei mate 9 with a crystal clear (best i ever heard) sound while having a call, I am disappointed by the oneplus 5t. The sound is somewhat stub imo. The person I talk to says my voice sounds stub too.

I'm coming from a Nexus 5X and have to say the call quality is quite an improvement compared to that. But - I'm still somewhat disappointed in it since it isn't really that clear. It's okay, but nothing to boast about.
It's not really that great in my opinion.
for me its pretty clear, i never faced any issue with call quality
TMobile VOLTE superb
Not great same lg g6

clarity is better when compared to OPO, but the earpiece isn't as loud - even at full volume its very quiet
Just got my 5T yesterday and I'll say that it is just ok. I came from a V20 and it was way better than the 5T.

I'm coming from a Nexus 5x as well. I am felling that it really hard for me to hear and the volume is too low.
Running OmniROM 8.1, my call quality is crystal over wifi, using either a bluetooth headset or the phone itself. But that's wifi. Kind of a cheat.
My call quality is crystal clear on Nexus 6 & iPhone 6plus but on OP5t call quality is poor and volume is low.
For me it got better with Oreo.
call quality
For me it was clear. Never faced any issues. I feels very good when compared to my previous mobiles.
