[Q] BAD Call Quality? - HTC Rezound

Is anyone else having terrible call quality on the Rezound? I used my speaker phone a lot on my Incredible and never had an issue with the quality. On this phone, when using speaker or having the phone to my face, people often say they can't hear me and that it sounds like I'm moving around when I'm just sitting still. This is very frustrating!

Get another phone.

Nope, rather excellent call quality on mine, even over Bluetooth in my Soul.

That's what I thought. My Incredible had excellent call quality and I didn't have to try to sit still to be heard.

yeah man, my rezound has better call quality than my incredible..as a matter of fact, i actually enjoy TALKING on the phone now becuase of it hahah

Same here, the quality on mine is second to none. Far better than my old Droid X and my wife's Incredible.

Aside from the Incredible 2, this phone has had exceptionally good call quality. On my Thunderbolt the call quality was terrible and even worse when I was using Skype. On this Rezound, the quality is very good.... Even on Skype.

That convinces me that I got a dud. I think I will have to exchange it. Thank you all for the replies!

My Rezound has excellent call quality, much better than my old Incredible, and actually better than the new RAZR.

^ this. Phone calls are excellent on my phone. Just the dead/stuck pixel on my phone .

One more question guys, before I exchange my phone today. You folks that are having excellent quality, do you leave your 4G on when making calls or do you keep it on 3G like I do? I want to make sure that my problem isn't the fact that I'm leaving 4G disabled most of the time to save battery.
Thank you in advance!

I'm on wi-fi a lot of the time but no problem on 3 or 4G either.

I think you should go look around their forum cus they are currently having a huge problem with the os build for the last two updates they have had and it sounds like a huge drawback. I agree the hardware is great but the os is being left behind because of their focus on the evo4g lte is my guess

As we have seen in the past..... Better hardware does not make a phone better ....take the gnex for example....plagued with all kinds of issues.
The rezound has s-off, ics, custom sense 4 roms, great dev support ....and yeah we have a beast of a camera too thanks to the sense 4 roms.....so the battery life is not good....big whoop-di-do....its a 4g device, no battery is good, thats why we all buy extended batteries or more batteries.
As far a build quality.....to each there own....You will still need a case and screen protector no matter how great the quality is. Phone quality is only as good as the person handling the device.....so that point is mute.
So if he wants to use a rezound on the att network.....go for it....its his choice. Not all of us can shell out hundreds of dollars everytime we want/need a phone.

is this sprints best phone today?

If you wanted to buy a different sprint phone today without committing to a new contract, I would argue that there is no phone better at this price point. The fact that this phone can be purchased used on craigslist for $100, rooted and rommed up with just a minimal amount of hassles is mindboggling. If someone can show me a better deal please do.
I consider that the Evo 3D with ICS is a better phone than S3(which is a crappy copy of iPhone)

You're joking, right?
1) Out of nowhere you compared the two phones.
2) The galaxy s3 is better than the evo 3d. What you said is like saying the Xbox 360 is better than the ps4. The ps4 will come out later with next Gen hardware. The galaxy s3 will come out later with next Gen hardware.
3) The s3 is a copy of the iPhone? Is that a joke? Just because they have a hardware home button doesn't suddenly make them iPhone clones. Other than that, they are probably the complete opposite of iPhones.

that might be a tad strong, but i just think if you don't already have a 3d, and are already on sprint, its a great alternative to using an upgrade. ( Can we PLEASE not mention that other phone for a while? It tends to make people angry and gets threads closed. Thank you)

Have to agree, a very fine phone at a good price, most of the time those go for about $250 in my area. I would say you will be good for a while with that phone.

IMHO Samsung makes great appliances(home electronics, washers, dryers, etc.) Their cellular phones don't do anything for me and as a previous user stated, the build quality is less than impressive. The screens always have that weird hue to them prolly due to AMOLED which i dont find appealing. And the samsung phones i've played with or friends that have them seem to have lots of issues with signal retention. Lets not forget the countless GPS problems that have been complained about on many occasions.

I'd say evo lte or galaxy s2/3 Samsung flagship phones. Galaxys2/3 are bad ass and flat out fast. I have zero issues with my galaxy s2. GPS is perfect. I love it. Most people who have issues with android cause they don't understand how to operate them.

I think the s3 and evolte will be better but until the network is up and running it's a bit of a negative.

Thinking about trading in my EVO

Thinking about trading my EVO in for a Samsung Galaxy S3 before my 30 days is up. My past 3 phones were made by HTC. LOVED them all. Only Samsung phone I ever owned was the Instinct. Garbage...I love this phone but can't stand the signal dropping in and out all the time and the proximity sensor only works less than half the time. 1 more gig of ram wouldn't hurt either. Should I do it?

Sounds more like a defective unit to me.. my signal doesnt bounce around.
I had a chance to play with the new galaxy. I used to have the first epic, then the epic touch. Honestly, New tw4 is awful to me, makes ics way ugly and bloated. Sense is pretty good, other than multitasking. Personally, I wouldn't get the new gs3 unless there was a way stable cm9 for it.
Yes, I know that with source it is very much possible, but, just like with gs2, there's no real profile and prl update option. I've noticed that over time, network performance degrades big time when compared to other devices.

personally ive considered doing this as well but i always change my mind (i still need to play with the GSIII) simply because i know that cm9 and aokp stable versions will come to the ELTE at some point and with that i have 2 options in sense and stock...i feel like samsung doesnt provide that simply cuz touchwiz i feel isnt worth it at all
Coming from the Galaxy S2 I wouldn't go back to touchwiz. The new Galaxy is great but personally I like HTC sense and the EVO design better.

FYI, signal has nothing really to do with the phone and everything to do with your location. So going to get a new phone that will have the same issues is kinda ...ummmm.......stupid. But to each his own.

Apparently mine is one of the few defectives. Going to VZW Monday and will have to roll the dice between this, 8x, or S3.

Yeah, it happens to me where they cant hear me but Ive self tested by calling my other phones and i cant get it to replicate on any of those devices? Im thinking it may be related to Verizon service. So far its only one specific person that is having trouble hearing me on her Gnex.
Just did a self test with my HTC Evo LTE and the DNA and I can hear myself just fine on both devices. One on sprint and the other on Verizon. So i really dont know where the issue lies.
Edit* im thinking its the calibration on the Mic itself. If i moved the phone away from my face like an inch it was really quiet for a second until it starting picking up my voice and then when i moved it back to my face like normal it was super loud and then quieted down. Im assuming this is due to software and htc will release an update to correct this and better calibrate the mic

I had this problem and you can search the Q&A forum to see my posts.
Your set is defective (as was mine) and you need to return it.
In a strange way it is nice to know that I did not receive the one and only defective set.
I have no idea but I'd guess it is a hardware speaker issue.

Thats the only thing I miss from the rezound, but not nearly enough to go back. The rezound really was such a disappointment. The rezound was the main reason I didn't go with the DNA, i've just lost all faith in HTC.
Pretty sad that my old Thunderbolt could do this on 3g and my Note2 can not. I never realized how used to it I had become until I have been trying to surf while on the phone lately with my note. At my house 4g is spotty, if I make a call and during that call it switches to 3g, it will not reconnect to the mobile data until I hang up.
