Call quality on the Droid

I am thinking of upgrading my Storm 2 to either the Droid X or the Droid 2 Global. Can some folks give me some input on the incoming call quality of either of these two?

As a former BB Storm user, I can tell you that the call quality on the Droid X is louder and clearer than the Storm. Occasionally, I do have the "walkie-talkie" effect that Cody described. When that happens I just have to try to remember to pace the conversation so as not to talk 'over' the caller. Strangely enough, I don't use the actual phone on the Droid X as much...I guess because the texting and everything else is so much better than it was on the Storm. (Or maybe people just don't want to call me anymore...sigh. LOL)
Can't offier any advice on the Droid 2, but in general, I have never had a serious problem with call quality since I've been with Verizon.

Skype 7.x missing "Check call quality" icon

Hi,
In old version, next to the "add participants" icon, it have a call quality check icon, which i can check the "Connection speed in between me and other side.
In new Skype 7.x, i cannot find anymore, only found this icon when already startup the call.
Where i can check call quality before the call startup

Try to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

Terrible call quality disappoints

I LOVE my new Charge as a device (except for the terrible battery life, but I can work around that) but am finding the call quality here in Dallas to be unacceptable. Callers are frequently asking me to repeat myself and calls are dropping. Usually I can hear callers fine, but on two occasions they became so garbled I had to get off the phone and use google voice on my computer. I am within my 14 day window with the device and am considering either getting a different device or just switching back to Sprint which is starting to look pretty good from here. I thought switching to Verizon would be a step up. And of course, with Sprint I had complete google voice integration. Any advice?

Well, I don't LOVE my charge but I do like it - I have had it for a week. Except that Verizon seems to like giving you features on a phone and then slowly taking them away and making you pay for them (tethering, encoding voicemail passwords,tiered usage plans, etc) which isn't related to the individual phone. That being said, my Charge's call quality is really bad at various times in places where I have always gotten great reception. I have tried *228 but it doesn't make a difference. At the VW store, they all acted like they had never heard about bad call quality with the charge. So they ordered me a new (refurbished) phone. I went through multiple HTC Tbolts with the last one being unable to latch onto a GPS signal before they decided to move me over to the Charge. Now I have my doubts about this phone... We'll see tomorrow when the "new" charge comes in the mail.

Has the new 2.2 Froyo update fixed the call quality / reception?

For those that have installed the new 2.2 Froyo update, has it fixed the call quality / reception issues?

Thanks guys. I am debating whether to get the droid incredible or the droid 2. I heard the droid 2 call quality is muddy/choppy to the listener.

For one thing, true call blocking (ie. where the call NEVER actually connects through to your number) can only be done by the service provider at their switches.
The best a device can do is allow the call to connect, and then use the caller ID information to compare that to a list of allowed and a list of disallowed caller IDs. That is a feature known as blacklisting, but it is not the same as actually blocking a call completely.
So as suggested, contact your carrier and ask what they can do for you.

The worst call quality i phone.

I bought the phone 3 days. But call quality over ten years with the same phone.
I keep dialing your friends will be lost in the middle. Or phone dropped in the middle.
It is very difficult to call. Another feature is good, but it does not look a call is the most important features.
Please improve call quality. I want to smooth call.

To phrase what the previous poster said a little more politely, you may want to take the phone back. You may have gotten one that was defective. This is a user-to-user forum so you're not speaking directly to Apple here. Do you have an Apple Store near you? If so, make am appomtment at the Genius Bar for technical assistance.

Best of luck.

Htc rezound call quality

Hi there, i just bought the htc rezound, i notice the call quality is somewhat choppy or i'll get half what the person is saying. I'm thinking going back to store and get droid razr, the call quality on there sounds good what i heard.

FWIW, I also have a Rezound and the call quality on mine seems pretty good. Not saying you shouldn't go with a different phone, but it might be worth it to try another Rezound and see if it's any better. Just keep in mind, if you are outside of your 14 day return window, you may (depending on if they have any or not) get a certified like new device. And, they may make you try two or three of them before letting you switch to a different model.

IPhone 5s, call quality, periodic echo

I upgraded from the iPhone 4 to the 5s 4 months ago. Ever since I upgraded, I have periodic issues with call quality. In the middle of a call I will all the sidden start to hear myself talk and the person on the other end cant hear me at all and I cant hear them. This happens to be in the Atlanta, GA area in the same places on interstate 75.

jab1820,
Thank you so much for reaching back out to us. Could you please provide us with your mailing zip code? With your iPhone 5s can you please reset your network settings. You can do this by going into Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. Then re-try the call quality after that reset has been completed. Please keep us posted.

IPhone 6 Call Quality Issues

iPhone 6 64gb 8.0
As of yet, I've not been able to make or receive a call without the other person sounding like they're three rooms away. I've turned up the volume on the side and within settings. I've turned the phone off and back on again.
I backed up this phone from my last iPhone (5) so that I have all my personalization and files, etc. on it now. I also took the SIM card from my old phone and put it in my new phone.
Everything else seems to work fairly well. It's just the call quality. I can hear what they're saying, They can hear me, but it seems like the volume is as low as it goes. But I know it's not.
HELP!

since I received my iPhone 6 Plus on Friday I've noticed that all of my phone calls have very bad audio quality. i thought it was just when I was talking to someone in a car. But it doesn't matter where they are.
WHat hat does it sound like:
its like a crappy digitized vrry tinny sound. It's as if the ither person is talking on a radio.

IPhone 5S Call quality issues - Are they resolved?

Hi folks,
So long story short, I was previously a VZW customer with an iPhone 5S. When I was a customer, everything worked great, except one thing, Calls.
What would happen during is:
1) The calls would sound metallic/robotic
2) the calls would sort of go in and out (for example I would hear: " Yeah ... Fun at... Saturday)
(Both 1 and 2 would happen indoors and outdoors)
3) Calls would drop
So like any reasonable person, I called into Customer Service and was offered a Network Extender for $199. This did help indoors for the most part, but not outside (like literally outside my building; out of range perhaps?)
I read of others having the same issues here, so I knew I wasn't alone, but there was just no solution to the problem. I thought it was my iPhone at first. However, I ported out to AT&T and the calls were crystal clear compared to VZW. So that kinda confirmed it's not my phone.
My zip code is 10453 (and this area has great coverage according to the coverage map, but I couldn't get any more than 3 bars of LTE outside and 1-2 indoors). My question is, has this issue been resolved? If so how can I improve it? Honestly looking forward to being a VZW customer again, despite no simultaneous talk and surf on the iPhone.
Thanks for any comments/solutions offered!

When the person called me, I was indoors. I am the one with the ATT phone (wanting to switch to vzw) and never get this issue, not even when Sprint callers call me. The person who called me was outdoors and he has Verizon (zip: 10023)
The call was very choppy with the voice cutting in and out on his end, and the call was slightly metallic sounding. I could barely understand a word he was saying. The quality was exactly the same when I was with Verizon. At first I thought it was my phone, and now this confirms it never was my phone. I am truly convinced this is a notice cancellation issue with verizon because like I said, I never get this issue when Sprint users call me. It doesn't really matter who initiates the call, the quality is always the same, horrible.
I really want to be part of VZ but I can't if I am to expect these issues! please help. I don't know if it's congestion or just the call coding itself.

IPhone 5 call quality

I just bought my iPhone 5. I was disappointed when I received a call and discovered the phone call quality on my end is bad. The other person's voice sounded very tiny and soft although I have already turned up the volume to maximum. Is it that way with all iPhone 5? The receiver could hear me clearly. I tried speaker and the person voice sounded much much clearer.
Please recommend suggestion to fix this or I have a defected phone?
Thank you!

Actually, after examining my phone properly, i think that this problem might have been caused by the plastic cover that I have yet to remove as it looks like it is blocking the earpiece. ><
My apologies.

IPhone Poor Call Quality Without Headphones

I have an iPhone 4s. When I am working in my home office, the carrier signal level is good - typically three or four bars out of 5. However, the call quality is sometimes very poor - I can hear the other caller very clearly but they cannot hear me clearly and often say that it sounds like I am talking through a long tube or that my voice has some kind of metallic quality. However, when I plug my earphones in, it all works just fine. The call quality is generally fine in other locations.
I did wonder if this is something do to with the apple ambient noice cancelling system and some kind of interaction with it and the case that I am using but I have tested it with and without case and it makes no difference.
Any suggestions that you might have would be gratefully received.

I did they have know referred me to Apple!!!

Iphone 6 call quality issue....

Hi, yesterday i saw software update in my iphone 6 and i thought it will solve the call quality issue , but unfortunately it was not for that.
Dear iphone support , the call quality in iphone 6 is really bad, I was using iphone 4S and that had great voice quality. iphone 6 voice during call is not clear , it has noise .
When I told my friends about the problem , they told me that I might have bought the refurbish phone. But I bought it from Dubai in 750 USD and I do not think it would be the case.

Since my iPhone 6 has great Call Quality,
My tip would be to take it to an Apple shop. All apple Products have world wide warranty.
If it is really they should be able to fix it.
Hope this helps,

Export a clip in exactly the same quality as the original

I have just tried importing a DSLR H264 file in premiere and export it back
1. At the question if i would like to create the new sequence i choose using the clip's settings
This generated a correct sequence (regarding the frame size the pixel aspect ratio and the field order) but it set the preview settings in i mpeg / 50% quality, while the clip uses the quicktime H264 codec (let us say that this will be used in the editing procedure and can be altered at the export)
2. I immediately exported the clip from the sequence using the match sequence setting option (which uses the I mpeg codec)
3. I Linked then to AMA in the Avid facility we have, (both the original and the -so called same as sequence = same as clip export - (I used link to AMA so that i could prevent Avid from trnascoding any of the clips.
4. the results (using Avid's Color Scopes) are that there is a colour shift to the exported video from Premiere vs the original.
5. I retried using H264 as the export codec and disabling the Limit data rate and enabling any time cost setting
6. I tried many other possible solutions regarding the export codecs or the sequence settings and still having a different kind of shifting all the time
What is the official Adobe solution to import and export in a lossless way any material, or importing something in Premiere means you start shifting from original?

First of all thanks for the reply. Both codecs you mention are pc only codecs and i am working on a mac
I am working on an avid environment, having proposed the install of 3 premiere suites
My point is that i want to edit no matter the codec (impeg or whatever) but be able to export the edit using the native video codec and at the native quality like avid's AMA link way
So when i use H264 i want to export H264
Nevertheless i have done some experiments here and came at the following conclusions
1) exporting using animation codec gives back 100% quality in the best speed
while this is back imported to Premiere and matched down with the original using Premiere scopes and the sequence's preview files being set to H264 gives back 100% the original, when i match it on avid (1 track the original AMA linked 2nd track the exported from Premiere (also AMA linked) ) the Avid's scopes are showing a minor shift in chroma and luma (which visually is non identified)
My question though is more generic and has to do with the whole philosophy of Premiere's materials handling.
I import a video - it is by default using the 50% quality impel in order to edit quickly and when it comes to export what do i do?
I use a different export codec than the one i used to edit?
What about the effects rendered on the timeline (having used the imeg codec)?
I try to switch the sequence's settings to a quicktime animation codec when i finish an edit (it losses the preview files generated by the impel codec) and then export using again the animation codec, but that;s me
I try to find if there is an official Adobe Lossless method of doing this...

Is there a way to hang up call without using the touchscreen?

I'm using an HP Veer 4G. In the wintertime, when I need to wear gloves, I'm wondering how I will handle calls without using the touchscreen.
I've figured out most of the process: hold down the volume down button for a couple of seconds to load the Voice Dial app, then speak the name of the person I want (which has worked flawlessly for me so far!) and then I'm connected.
The problem I'm having is how to hang up without using the touchscreen. If someone answers the call, that's no problem because I can just wait for them to hang up. But if I get their voicemail then what? I thought I'd be clever and use my nose, but the sensors black the screen out so that doesn't work. How are people ending calls without taking their gloves off?
Post relates to: HP Veer p160una (AT&T)

Hello!
Unfortunately this is the trade with using capacitive touchscreen
HP has logged this in its software issue tracking system. We endeavor to continuously improve our software quality and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are grateful to the community and will evaluate options based on customer feedback and software best practices.
In mean time, there is a patch in the homebrew community that allows closing the slider to drop calls and can check more into that via precentral.net
