The call quality is terrible on my Atrix, people have told me that it sounds like I'm underwater or "garbled". I've tried adjusting the noise cancellation with no luck. I was interested in playing around with the ##PROGRAM menu but I couldn't get that to work on my Atrix (Is it not supported?). Anyway, if anyone has any insight as to how to fix this issue I would appreciate you helping me out.
Thank you

I get lots of complaints about the voice quality from the other end.
it is very difficult to understand me, when calling from the S740.
Any idea how to fix that? I'm quite happy with the S740 but would have leave it if I can't fix voice quality.
Hi, guys. Open end up, but even though I got HD2 from headphones and speakers at incredibly sound is coming from. Blackstone's voice was great and I was ahead. By doing this, playing in the registry or something I wonder whether we can improve it. Thank you in advance for your help. Regards.
I have noticed that when I record video with the Thunderbolt that the picture quality is out of this world but the sound quality is terrible at best. I can barely hear my TV playing just 6 or 7 feet away from me. Anyone else have this problem?
I am running Infected ROM but have had this problem since it came out of the box.
Also, I was wondering, if I called VErizon support on this, could they tell that I had my phone rooted just by being on the phone with them?
This issue has been discussed on xda as well as a few other forums (htcs own community as well). I havent found an explanation or anything that fixes it unfortunately. I'm kinda upset about this since I'm constantly taking videos on my phone.

They don't know you're rooted. I exchanged my Moto droid 4 times, it was rooted each time. I often called them and they would just send me another. The buttons kept going bad on my phones. Bad luck I guess.
It uses the mic at the bottom of the phone (same one for phone calls) so make sure you're not covering that up. And it seems that unless whatever you're recording is close, you'll have issues. There was a post somewhere from someone who contacted HTC and was told it was due to the noise cancelling software
Well at least if its software related maybe it can be fixed in the first update. It's a shame to have such great video quality with such horrendous sound.

ignore what I posted, I am tired and that was stupid lol.
Maybe some one can help me out here....recently purchased a Z2 and everything is running wonderfully on it, BUT I have struggled to get get good quality out of the earpiece. I can not pinpoint what the problem is, and my service provider and local Sony Centre refuse to help me out because the phone is imported. Almost every single call I have made has a terrible static, tinny sound. At times its better, other times I cannot even hear the other person on the other line. I have changed sim cards which didn't really help, tried other service provider sim cards which helped only a little. The strange thing is that when I run the diagnostics app on the phone, my ringtone playing through the earpiece is crystal clear and sounds really good. Also if I plug headphones in, the call quality improves immensely. I have read that the .314 firmware upgrade is supposed to enhance the call quality of the Z2 but I'm not sure if its addressing the specific issue I am having, also the firmware update is not available yet in my country. I don't want to send the phone back to Europe even though I have a warranty through the retailer that sold me the phone because who knows how long it will take for them to sort this out?! Has anyone experienced what I am experiencing? Do all Z2's have crappy, static, tinny call quality?

Hey there, sadly i experienced the same. I came from SGSIII, and the difference of call quaility is not compareable. I've heard and read that this is a Sony illness and there's been long time ago. Recently i flashed .314 ROM however that hasn't been released in my country either. I don't want to depress you but the quality hasn't changed at all. Tried every f....ing Sound Settings, but not a step forward.
I'm desperately waiting for the next release of firmware, maybe there'll be some improvement.

Thanks for the feedback. Today I started using a different service provider and I must say that the calls have improved a lot. Will be testing more networks through out the week, but i think the call quality issues may be network related! The calls still have a fuzzy quality to them but not as bad.

Interesting. My provider(T-mobile) says they provides HD call quality. Honestly: i believe them. Ridiculous, the first Ericsson phone i had gave me better sound. I think it's all software related, c'mon Sony, don't ruin this great phone with this annoying incident.

I must say its a really confusing issue. I am getting mixed results on the other sim so far, when the calls are good then they are GREAT! I have reverted back to my old sim and am now getting OK call quality, still fuzzy but bearable. It just confuses me that the diagnostics tests gives me a lovely rich sound out of the earpiece, but then an actual call is absolute rubbish! Maybe its an antennae issue???
Hi, everyone!
I'm G850F owner, and I have quiet noise/hissing in top speaker during calls. It's there all the time GSM is working, including tones before pickup.
It sounds like old radio receiver between stations. Doesn't disturb phone calls, however it's still very annoying. Not everyone hears it.
It's constant volume level, independent of call volume, so it's best heard when volume is at minimum and between dial tones. Same sim-card sounds ok in other phones.
I've heard about "Comfort noise" thing, but not sure that is it: I've tried 10+ different phones and smartphones, and only 1 old Nokia sounded like that. And it's not comforting at all
I've even went to shop and they gave me another device to test - same result. Device was from same batch as mine, however.
So... the question is: do you hear it, how is it comparing to other devices, and do you have some more information?
P.S. When recording call and then listen to recording using same speaker - no noise. So it's either interference from GSM module to speaker, or I don't know what ) Maybe it's software? Then there should be a way to remove/lower it.

Hmmm i do not know what it is. But just FYI I have come across a few threads about this issue for the Alpha on a Swedish Android forum (Swedroid) . A couple of people there are having this issue. So far I have not seen any solution.
Interesting! Just got mine and I have the same problem. So it's just us or everyone has that problem? When I use the earphones it gets a whole better! Is it common or I should return mine asap?
Common unfortunately. I've got used to it ) Not all people hear it at all.

That's a pity coz I was almost sure that I got the perfect phone except from that apparently! that sound of a frying pan drives me nuts! Anyway since everyone has the same issue and I don't have a faulty one I can get used to it! Thanks a lot for replying!
