HT4623 speaker echo poor quality of calls

Hi all - I have had lots of negative feedback on the quality of my iphone 4s calls with lots of echo on the other end - I have made sure there is nothing blocking the speaker and updated software as per website support with no difference any help would be welcome.
Many thanks in advance Johnny

Hi Johnny,
When troubleshooting noise or echoing while using the iPhone 4S, the following article provides the most relevant information:
iPhone 4S: Noise while on call or using cellular data
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4225
If this happens only when using the receiver, do the following:
- If you have a protective case on the phone, either ensure that the top microphone next to the headset jack is not covered or remove the protective case completely.
- If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
- Check the receiver mesh; if it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
- If the audio issue happens only in one location, try another location.
- Try restarting the iPhone.
- If restarting the iPhone didn't resolve the issue, update to the latest version of iOS.
- If the issue persists, visit the iPhone Support Page for more troubleshooting and service information.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • Poor quality when calling van a mobile to a skype ...

    We use a skype number for our clients to reach us.
    When they call from a landline the connection is fine.  When they are on skype themselves, the connection is fine too, but when they call from a mobile phone (using our skype number) de sound qualitiy is poor.
    The person on skype seems 'far away' and bits and pieces of the conversation get lost to the person on the mobile.  To the person on skype everything seems normal and good.
    This has been the case for aa couple of weeks now. And is occuring in the Netherlands.  It appears to be associated with the connection between Skype and the mobile network.
    Any suggestions?

    I had similar quality issues exporting H264 from PPro vs. Avid Media Composer.  CHeck out this thread link http://forums.adobe.com/thread/854379?tstart=0.
    I found it pretty helpful, it also links to another reference thread.
    I think it's possible, but will take a bit of trial and error.

  • Poor quality in call audio

    Good evening, members of this forum! In fact, I do not know if the problem lies in microphone or the place where you put the SIM card, because when I talk on the phone it´s lock everything! I just can not speak clearly as if I were using a Nextel phone (radio signal) or speakerphone.
          The device is locking or my voice "disappears". Only when I change position, that is, when I take the phone from my ear and speak close to the microphone, I can talk to the person. What is the problem?

    Do elaborate on your issue.

  • Poor quality Skype Video Calls with good connectio...

    suffering with Poor quality Skype Video Calls and also voice.
    My connection is 8 mb Download and .6mp upload, my wife in another country has Fiber so is alot faster again.
    I am using Windows 8.1 and also a Ipad Air, same issues on both.
    The Windows Pc has a nice microsoft Hd webcam (not one of the cheapones) using a i7 pc with 16g of Ram and a Gaming Graphics Card.
    There is very little software on the pc, a couple of games, no itunes, Downloading software and very little running in the background. I use Window Defender and Anti virus and have recently done a re instal of windows and everything is updated driver and software wise, including skype.
    The Ipad is the Apple air.
    When connecting to my Wife in the Uk the reception isnt great picture wise and after a little while gets bad and also disconects alot and then comes back with a worse picture and call quality. I have even had the bad connection pop up. I have ran speed tests at these points and all are showing fine.
    I also have a issue when calling my Dads land line in the uk where he has trouble hearing what im saying, muffled and echos
    I am a premium paying customer and started to get a bit frustrated.

    @Furgan, in which country are you located? Some countries and ISP-s are shaping Skype traffic. One known country is Saudi Arabia for example.
    If would help us if you could please reproduce the issue and provide logs as described in this link https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12321/how-do-i-create-log-files under Skype for Windows Desktop and attach it to your post?
    Thank you

  • Poor sound quality during calls

    The sound quality during calls is very poor and quiet. I have the latest operating system and the volume is at maximum.
    I am not using any headsets etc just using the handset in the normal way without any accessories.
    I am on the verge of getting rid of this handset due to this issue.  The sound quality is extremely poor when handset is held to the ear during phone calls.  It is slightly better on speaker phone but not much.
    Any help or advice would be appreciated before I decide to move to something else.
    Thanks

        Xchanvonx, thanks for the details. It does sound like your phone has a mind of it's own! Have you tried this:http://vz.to/16IVkUN and retested? Please keep us posted after you try this.

  • New iphone 4s speaker keeps cutting out on calls and have to put it on external speaker, this is happening to others I have called today with the same phone. Is there a fix?

    My wife has a new 4s and quite often her phone speaker cuts out during a call and she has to put it on speakerphone. Telus tech support tells me this is a known issue yet there doesn't seem to be an update to the phone available in itunes yet. So far today we have talked to two other people who live in our area with the same phone and same issue. One went so far as to buy a jawbone for $150 to work around it not knowing it was a software issue. Is this a software fix or do we need to do a hardware swap? Is there a fix out or on the way?

    My gf was having the same issues and also with a big echo every time I called her either from my 4S or even fron a land line as per other comments here. They told he to take it into the Apple store and they reset the software and now it's working fine.....so far.
    Now today my bluetooth earpiece has decided to stop working for some unknown reason and then the last person that called me said my phone keep cutting out. I don't know whether that was because I had to turn off my bluetooth to answer the phone or what.
    I suspect Apple will be sending out an update to fix some of these reported issues but in the meantime the local Apple store seems to be the only option. Just hoping I don't have to take that option as that would require a huge inconvenience for me as neither of the two stores in the Vanvouver area are remotely close to me.
    Good luck.

  • Poor Quality HD Channels

    I see alot of posts, regarding  poor quality HD channels. AMC ,IFC ,FOOD NETWORK, USA in regards to macroblocking, tiling, and audio lag, which I am experiencing in RI. Have called many times regarding this issue. Is Verizon working on this? Is it a problem that can be fixed? From what i understand it is a provider issue.
    This problem goes back to 2009. Verizon's big selling point is  "crystal clear" channels. They dropped the ball on this one!

  • ITunes 10.1.1 plays Mono in poor quality

    Like others already posted I want to open thread about that. Using Echo Audiofire 2 working great on my old mac with older iTunes, now on new Mac Mini only mono sound, and poor quality. All things are checked, and I would just like to know if there´s anything new about that? I need real stereo sound all tht time and can´t work with my mac when acting like this. That´s really poor thing about apple and iTunes, specially as that problem´s know now for a while.

  • Poor quality when connect my Viewsonic monitor 22, to Macbook pro

    Just got a Viewsonic monitor 22 VA2246m-LED , connected to Macbook pro 13" The quality of the type is very poor.
    I call Viewsonic tech support & they could not recommend any drivers. Check the website & no drivers were list. How can this issue
    be corrected?

    The Mac uses a single highly-parameterized Driver that easily accommodates every display. There is no benefit to using different Drivers, so no one has developed different drivers. That is not a solution to your problem.
    What interface are you using to connect this display?
    what adapters and cables?
    If you use the display's DVI-D input with an appropriate adapter (rather than VGA) you will find the results are much better.

  • Why is FaceTime so poor on international calls?

    Why is FaceTime so poor on international calls?  I continue getting "poor connections..."

    The distance between the two devices does not really matter. The thing that matters is the quality of the internet connections on both ends of the conversation. Either one or the other devices is experiencing connection and/or bandwidth issues. Double-check the connection and speed for each device before establishing the connection.

  • 'ken burns' poor quality interlacing jagged

    This post is to document issues with 'Ken Burns' rendering in Final Cut Express 4 and some workarounds and possible bugs in software I found.
    Similar posts about this issue:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/5207261#5207261
    When I import images into final cut express and  apply keyfram effects with panning and zooming a.ka. the 'Ken Burns Effect' I find that image quality is very poor. This occurs in most BUT NOT ALL images in viewer and canvas windows as well as rendered footage.  The video issues are severe interlacing artifacts (horizontal blurry lines) as well as motion jitter along edges.
    Many other users on the web suggested the following, which did not work for me:
    -Avoid using JPEG files because their compression introduces artifacts which causes problems for Final Cut
    I have found both JPEG and TIFFs have trouble with Ken Burns, although I do have certain TIFFs that seem to work.
    -Using different software to render ken burns panning.
    This seems silly to me.  I find that the integration of  pan,zoom necessary for fine tuning during editing.  This would be extremely time consuming to separately generate each pan/zoom clip and import. I have heard that some software has high-end smoothing, but I am satisfied with the images that do pan and zoom correctly in Final cut.
    -Adjusting Field Dominance in the clip properties to none
    this was already set on my clips
    -Adjust render settings.
    I saw a 1001 rendering 'recipes' offered up to fix image pan/zoom issues. None worked
    Things I discovered
    Ken burns effect looked great when the image was in a transition, but bad when it was not.  For example: Imagine a 5 second cross dissolve between regular video and ken burns motion image.  When image becomes clearly visible in the latter 2.5 seconds of the transition it looks excellent while panning/zooming. When the transition finishes there is a sudden change to poor quality in the pan/zoom.
    -The render bar on top of the timeline is dark-green for good-looking images, which according to the final cut manual, means 'no render necessary'
    -There was nothing special about these render-not-necessary images that I could find in resolution, settings, etc.
    -Good looking images were jpegs, gifs, and tiffs
    I tried converting other images and reimporting, no luck
    -I can make the ken burns look good for all images by playing the movie in the canvas window and setting it 99% zoom.
    Any zoom level other than 100% looks good.
    -This seems like a bug to me.
    Eventually I just used a screen recording application called screenflow to capture my video playing in canvas window at 99% in real time.
    This worked.
    Hopefully someone can explain why rendered images never look good and what format works to get the dark green line and avoid rendering all together and these problems.
    I don't mind converting file formats beforehand as long as they work well

    The render bar on top of the timeline is dark-green for good-looking images, which according to the final cut manual, means 'no render necessary'
    This is misleading. It simply means rendering is not necessary for playback. It does NOT mean that the material does not need to be rendered.
    100% zoom level is as close to how your video actually looks that a computer monitor can display.
    You never said what format you're working in.
    You always have to render still images. You're making video, and they're not video.

  • Refund not allowed for poor quality

    I have learned that even though my Skype number does not work correctly and there is poor quality on the line, it can never be refunded, and apparently Skype don't guarantee that it will even work properly according to customer support.
    After three hours, over a number of 'chats', and loads of conflicting info the best they can do is troubleshooting tips. I would love to sell people broken stuff and tell them that it don't guarantee it will work... lol
    They really are ruthless and not very customer orientated at Skype. Polls have shown they are way behind others in terms of call quality etc. so I do advise you to take your money elsewhere. Skype know they have bad quality, so it's best not to promise something that works. Clever.... but for how long?

    hi gundam,
       why do u need to create a credit memo for 100% loss?
    just need the material movement document that will update the stock accounts then add a billing block.
    thank you and best regards.

  • Flash is a poor quality software

    Guys, after just short time (luckily) that I had to work with flash, during which time flash show what its capable of (not a positive thing), my thoughts on it.
    Flash is extremely poor quality software. Incidents working with flash involved
    1. thumb doesn't show up on slider when I click button once, but shows up when I click this same button twice. (code: thumb.visible=true), that all there was to it!!!
    2. movie clips moved out of scene are showing on scene anyway
    3. Simply copying the aforementioned slider and placing it on first frame on main scene brakes totally unrelated code somewhere else. But pasting the same slider on second frame doesn't brake that code anymore! Needless to say that slider has no code whatsoever so it couldn't possibly reference anything in my scene anyway!
    What else? Yesterday I was happily working till lunch. Saved my work, went, had a lunch, came back, try to open my file, nope, not so fast flash tells me that this is incorrect format of a file!!! I couldn't believe what I'm seeing. I've never during my 15 years of working as a programmer came across software which couldn't open file saved by itself. Apparently, this is very common problem with flash: Re: I cannot open FLA files in CS5 "UNEXPECTED FILE FORMAT" help!
    Luckily I've had save this file the day before so I've lost only half a day's work.
    Another phenomena, during debugging flash goes through lines of code and at last line throws error that child mustn't be null, which is really bizarre because on previous lines I've had that child object and flash didn't complain at all:
    child = new Item();//goes through this line
    child.setUp("myChild");//goes through this line
    addChild(child);//throws ERROR that child mustn't be null.
    Another incident, two buttons identical class, all is different is text on them, one says play, the other one says settings. First button do not respond to mouse events, specifically to mouse_over event, second button behaves correctly. Situation got resolved that I've added another, dummy button and moved it out of stage. Now both original buttons behave correctly!!! How is this possible???
    Another incident from before yestarday. Same slider. First frame, two copies of it. First one (top one) after publishing looks as it looks in editor, second looks completely different! parts are scaled up, far away from each other, total mess!!!WHY??? I simply put one slider from library and copied it once. Same frame, same slider, no code involved whatsoever and despite this flash messes things up.
    Another incident with slider. The same slider copied from one frame to other. One works perfectly on one frame (that is you can drag the thumb and the thumb follows your mouse), paste EXACT!!! copy of this slider on different frame and the slider becomes unresponsive!!! Un effing bellievable!!!!
    Oh, and one more thing, can this software and swfs produced by it be any slower and use more processor power?
    There were also plenty of others smaller annoyances how flash behaves, or why doesn't behave correctly. I'm so glad that will not have to work with this software anymore. It is so bad. And it is Flash CC. Unbelievable.
    So I suppose, my question is, why is flash so poor quality software, despite the fact that is on the market for so many years?

    Are you serious?
    Are you genuinely serious?
    Are you really...
    How can anyone think that this, out of box should compile? How?!?
    The child isn't declared, Item class isn't defined, how can you think that this could/should compile? How?!!!
    As I've said in one of my previous posts, this is simply snippet of my code with those problematic lines. And why I have problem with this is, again, as I've said previously flash does go through two lines with child variable, but throws error (during debugging) at the third line that child variable mustn't be null!!! while just before second didn't have any problems with referencing this variable, just one line previously.
    And no Amy, you are wrong saying that I've nulled this variable somewhere.
    If you look at the code (from one of my other posts):
    //[begin of example]
    //some function's body
         child = new Head_mc(); //Head_mc is a movie clip
      trace("child: " + child);//outputs some name of this child
      child.setUp(aHead);//goes through this line fine while debugging
      addChild(child);//GIVES ME ERROR TELLING ME THAT THAT child MUSTN'T BE SET TO NULL!!!!!!
    if I change this code to:
    //some function's body
        var c:MovieClip = new Head_mc(); //Head_mc is a movie clip
      c.setUp(aHead);//goes through this line fine while debugging
    child = c;
      addChild(child);//No problems, but why is it that this works and the first code doesn't work?
    //[end of example]
    you will see that the only function which could possibly nullify child variable is function setUp, yet this function is called in second example as well as in first and yet first example behaves incorrectly and second example works as expected. Why? What's different there?
    Oh, and @sinious, please mate, give me a favor and don't try to compile it, because it is impossible to compile. But also please note that I mention that the debugger goes through some lines so it must mean that at some point I did compile it first and then started debugging. It does make sense, doesn't it?
    As for working with complicated software/languages?
    Guys, please don't make me laugh.
    Maya, Catia, AutoCAD, 3DMax, Visual Studio, Blender, Photoshop, ZBrush, UDK, UE4, - (except Catia I work on weekly basis, every week of the year (except holidays and weekends that is) with each and everyone of those products), and of course as a language of choice I use C++. How do you think C++ compares with regarding difficulty, complexity, learning curve to as3 do you think?
    Flash (and as3) is a relatively simple but buggy, poor quality and unreliable software. I can say that not because I cannot learn it. I can say that because I've worked with it and experienced it's poor quality and "bugyness" from day one. I also worked with other software in my life, I also do work every day of my life with other software (the above mentioned), and flash simply proves to be of poor quality.
    None of the software I've mentioned couldn't open file it just wrote couple of minutes ago. With flash it happened. Not once now, but two times. And not just to me. Plenty of examples on the web. Guys, please, open your eyes. It didn't happen because I'm a bad/incompetent programmer. It happened because flash is a buggy, poor quality and unreliable software. And companies are ditching flash not because I say it is bad. They ditching it because through their own experience they realized that flash is a buggy, poor quality, poorly performing, unreliable software. That's all there is to it.
    And as for self-congratulatory behavior of yours:
    "Plenty of evidence is here to the contrary so, mission complete"
    What mission did you achieve?
    The one in which you proved to everyone that you don't understand that you cannot compile code snippet which is taken out of context?
    What kind of programmer you are, it just makes me wonder...

  • Fujifilm X100T poor quality RAW conversion?

    I've been experiencing what appears to be poor quality RAW image conversion from the new Fujifilm X100T camera that is now supported by Lightroom 5.7.
    It appears that Lightroom may be "honoring" the Chromatic Aberration correction that the camera itself writes to the EXIF files. This causes images with high contrast areas to appear very blurry or almost like they've had a filter applied to make them appear hand drawn. It may also be that the camera itself isn't focusing properly, but my tests confirm that the camera can focus just fine.
    I've collected a few examples and additional details here:
    http://bigempty.com/projects/2014/fujix100t/
    Generally speaking I don't apply any in-camera sharpening, noise reduction, or other corrections as I prefer to work with the RAW file in Lightroom. The examples linked above do not apply any post-capture noise reduction, sharpening, chromatic aberration correction, or any other post-capture edits.
    Has anyone else experienced this with the Fuji X100T? Is this typical of the X100 series image quality, or with Lightroom's processing of those RAW images?

    Besides white-balance, Adobe software generally ignores what camera settings you use.  The poor quality is just the best Adobe has been able to do with unique XTrans photosite color layout.   Adobe software is apparently optimized to the common RGBG photosite layout.
