This is a long shot, but with all the folks that have taken apart their Streak, has anybody figured out a way to improve the sound quality? Talk about tinny: the built in speaker is almost unusable, even for phone calls.
Perhaps you have a dodgy one? Mine is clear and sounds fine.

Mine is crisp and clear as well. Its stilo 2.2.1. Could it be something with 2.2.2 ?
Residing with DjSteves 1.9.0 there's nothing to complain about impaired hearing. If your phone's built-in speaker doesn't give you what you seek, try custom roms.. that's about all i can advise you with.

Can anyone with 2.1 check for me to see if the sound on the xperia is louder now please. I know Sony said they're knew about the problem and were going to make it better, I just want to know if they did.
It is louder IMO after 2.1 update.
ive yet to test the sound will update as soon as i test it

Mine is slightly better
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yes, much better. However, I've noticed that there is some noise for the person on the other side of the call
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I seriously think the volume issue is hardware related, I have never had a problem with mine on 1.6, but the 2.1 update cranked it up, I keep my volume at 50% as full volume would make me go deaf. I was talking on my phone under the L tracks with a train going by in Chicago today, no place is louder, I heard the person fine.
How do u guys hold your phones to your ears?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Umm.. Its not any louder for me, but that annoying static is gone.
I rang my mum who has a really ****ty phone line and for once the call was crystal clear.
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
I find it a little bit louder,not much...Works fine for me
There is no noticeable difference since the update it is still one of the worst phones to make and receive calls on I have ever owned, I also own a galaxy s which is way better to use to make calls on ie crystal clear and very loud.

I have 2 x10's. On both skype calls great to the echo test but anything else is no doable.. i mean verry bad quality. Anyone a solution? Both latest se rom 2.1
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yeah, same here. Actual call quality is horrendous.
Yep same here, its a shame really but hopefully Skype will fix it
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Try Skyping with handsfree. Should improve quality.
Headphone nothing better, the test call is super, so that says iys not the problem.....
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Skype is just crap for the X10. I tested it to and calling is terrible!
Not working at al. When i use the handsfree option it still uses the call speaker not the phone speaker, but only louder on call speaker.
Echo works, sort of. I would expect it would run just fine, but no.
It's a shame.
Hey all! I was wondering how your call quality is? Everything seems great on my end. The people on the other end however say I sound muffled, too bassy, too quiet, or like I am in a tunnel. Is this normal for these? They all said I sound clear, just quiet. They can especially tell as I am coming from a BB Torch as my main phone. Any input or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The first few days I had my Atrix, I had that problem but once I turned the noise canceling to high and got the 1.5.7 update, everything is crystal.
Play around with the settings to see if you can't figure something out.
The Skype app on the Atrix has known problems with the audio so don't use that for now...
Sent from my Atrix 4G using the XDA App
I tried that and it didn't help much. This is really very disappointing, I had someone tell me today that it was so quiet that they actually had to concentrate on hearing me. I'm thinking I'll have to have it replaced or returned. I would think it wouldn't be a problem since it's Motorola. I hate the idea of returning or exchanging it because I do like it and I've got it all customized and loaded now.

It most likely is software but hey getting a new handset from them can't hurt.
I read on here that moto went above and beyond to fix someones phone with a audio tech approved handset!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I tried it with my Jawbone Icon and it works perfectly. By software do you mean something I may have put on, or Motorola's software? I guess if I do want help with this contacting Motorola direct would be best then? I really appreciate all of the input guys.
Edit: Also my other thought was that I could change it out for an HTC Inspire. Don't know as though I would like that as much though.

Find your local motorola service center and take it to them. They'll courier it back to you free of charge.
Before you do that wipe it and see if that helps.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Your holding it wrong....or at least I was. I was getting the same complaints, and realized I was holding my finger over the Mic on the back of the phone. May fix your problem, just a thought.
As far as wiping it, that has been done and did not seem to help at all. Covering the mic on the back could possibly be an issue however. You are referring to the one by the fingerprint sensor correct? If necessary I may just keep my Jawbone around all the time. I will attempt to find my local Motorola service center in the meantime.

Hey, just wanted to update everyone. The update to 1.83 seems to have helped significantly. People say I sound much more clear. Thanks for the help!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I can't get over how poor the incall voice quality is on any Rom including stock. Thought about returning but hoping for a fix. Increases volume with crazyag fix but calls still sound poor often. Its not all the time so that makes it more baffling. Anyone else notice and have any solutions.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I never have issues. More often than not I use a stereo Bluetooth headset. But, the caller sounds crisp and clear to me on stock, S8, UnNamed, MIUI, and ICScreweD.
What exactly do you mean by poor? Low volume? Static? Etc.

It could be a problem with your hardware or your phone's signal. I don't have any problems with call quality.

If the problem is echoes heard by the person on the other end - use a case that doesn't suck.
A lot of cases make the echo canceller/noise reduction go nuts.
Its not a case as it happens occasionaly with or without a case. Its hit or miss.

It's not as good as my old iphone 4 but its better than most other phones ive used. The skyrocket had better in call quality to. But this phone is better and i dont talk enough to care. I say try the skyrocket if you dont care about the speed of the device. Or exchange it and see if the new one is any better
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
Talking isn't a big priority for me either but very frustrating when i do. Maybe ics will help. Strangely task's Rom seems to be the best so far. Just installed iscrewd so maybe that will be the ticket.

I've had people complain to me that the audio quality has been irregular on speaker phone and bluetooth. Some people have even told me it is echo-ish.
Mine sounds fine to callers, i just can't understand people sometimes due to low quality/clarity

Is it just as hard to understand various people from various phones? Or do some people from different phones sound better than other people/phones?

i've been told that sometimes i suddenly start to sound like i'm a million miles away even though i didn't move the phone away from my ear.
kind of annoying because it doesn't go away until i hang up and re-dial the number. had the same problem with my skyrocket but never with iphone....
and this is with no case. still waiting for my otterbox commuter in the mail.
No issues here either, clear call quality. I came from a 3GS and 4 where my gf would tell me it would sound like an echo (no cases) or distance sometimes like mentioned above. Said that hasn't happened with this new phone and i sound clearer when calling her.
Not to confuse the op, but this issue in regards to what im hearing not what the other end hears and its sporadic too. I never get complaints from callers, i just can't understand them sometimes.

My girlfriend and I both have Rezounds she however likes to talk with hers between her face and shoulder while busy doing other things. When she does so she sounds very distant and barely audible. Is there anyway to anyway to get around this? She is rooted running CleanRom DE 1.4 if that helps.
I've had multiple cln rezounds and everyone of them I've had, ive gotten complaints about my voice going in and out, unfortunately i think it's just how the rezound was made.

I think you should try updating to either OTA or global firmware and trying some different roms based on those. If it only gets halfway better that would probably still be a big difference. It won't fix a hardware issue but just software may make some difference.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
The problem is that the rezound uses two mics and a proximity sensor to tell when your face is right up against it. Too much movement of the phone and it switches between modes...causing the audio to sound super compressed for a couple seconds.
Get her a Bluetooth she can hide under her hair

I had the same problem with the mic and Bluetooth. I found turning off voice privacy worked for me.

As soon as I have the chance I am AT LEAST going to get her onto the global update. I think while I am at it I might as well s-off her phone before that maybe get her on a decent new rom.
I wonder if using one of the asop roms where you need to tweak the proximity sensor anyway if there is something in doing that which could help? *shrug*
When it comes to using a Bluetooth she has one but she never thinks about it so she rarely wears hers.

I tried the voice privacy and haven't noticed a big difference maybe a little bit but a little bit is better than nothing I suppose. Thanks for the suggestion.
