Not sure if anyone else has this going on, but multiple people say that I sound muffled and hard to understand while on the phone. Never had the issue on the Vibrant, and now it seems to be pretty common.
No, I'm not covering the speaker and I talk loud and clear. I'm using the latest QuikSense in case that has anything to do with it.
Thanks!
I have good quality when on the phone. Maybe it's a hardware problem. You should try it over Bluetooth to make sure

With my Thunderbolt, the other callers hear a constant echo of their own voice, combined with a constant scraping sound. It sounds like half-duplex, but with constant echoes and horrible sounds. It is nearly impossible to hold a comfortable conversation with the party using the Thunderbolt, but calls sound fine to the person using the device.
Anybody else running into this problem, or found a fix? Haven't monkeyed around with the phone, and read that some people had better luck in just exchanging the phone.
I should mention: the scraping sound is incredibly loud. It's like the sound of someone scraping ice from a windshield, or pushing a giant cabinet along a concrete sidewalk.
Yes, I hear this when I don' t use my Bluetooth, any ideas on solutions?

I have this same problem. Has anyone heard of a fix? Have people replaced their phones and gotten TBs without this problem?
People have been telling me they can't really hear me good when i'm talking and i sounds a little fuzzy/far away. Anyone have this issue? where is the mic on the phone? maybe i am blocking it when holding it? Using aT&t
Reviews I've read and people I've talked to on my Note all say the call quality is great. The main mic is the little hole on the bottom edge between the pen and the usb port. There is a noise-cancelling mic on the top edge.

Try turning off noise suppression under settings>call>additional settings. You can also do this while on a call. Hit the menu button. Mine was the same. I turned it off and everyone says I sound so clear.

Anyone having a buzzing sound in their earpiece? Sounds like the little metallic screen is buzzing away when someone is speaking and the louder the volume as they talk the louder the vibrating noise is. Just wondering is anyone else has the issue.
EDIT:
Just checked again with a phone call and by applying pressure to the area of the earpiece speaker makes the buzzing go away. Now the wife is pissed because this is her mother's day present to shut her up from complaining about her OG Evo..... damn the luck, lots of complaining ahead now.... hahahaha.... oh well....
Not I. I just had one of the clearest sounding phone calls I've ever had on a cell phone.

I do agree though, when I apply pressure it does have a nice sounding call quality. Makes me want to give up my SE4GT.... what a killer screen!
I have made quite a few calls with mine already and they have been clear as can be, I am completely impressed. Is it like that on every call or intermittently? Perhaps if it was just one call, maybe it was the other persons phone and not yours.

Unfortunately each call we tested has been this way. She said it happened all day when she tried it as well. hmmmmm.....
Got my replacement phone today and of course it has a phone speaker that constantly buzzes regardless of volume. Go figure, I can't win with this phone!
Going to take it into a Sprint store tomorrow to see if they can repair it otherwise I am going to demand a new phone since I know they will have them in stock with the Saturday launch.

It's crystal clear... Until you drop signal from the Sprint tower, lol. Not docking the phone. Sprint service has gone down hill over the past few years
Hey all, just wanted to ask if anyone else had a One X+ with an extremely loud vibration mechanism. My girlfriend just purchased a new HTC One X+ on AT&T, and while she's loving the phone so far, the vibration is shockingly loud on it. It's also more.. high pitched (for lack of a better way to describe it) than any other vibration I've experienced. My Droid DNA's vibration is virtually silent, and I had expected the One X+'s to be similar. Is anyone else experiencing this or is her unit defective?
tl;dr: When the phone vibrates, it buzzes really loudly. Is this a defective unit or are they all like this?
Thanks!

The vibration is pretty loud, although there is a bit of variation. I am on my second HOX+ and it is not as loud as the first. My first one had a strong rattling noise almost like something was lose in the phone as soon as it was vibrating.I think it is not a defect.

Yeah, it's not quite that bad where there's a rattling noise, but it's essentially as loud as the ringtone itself lol. I was just surprised at how loud it was, and I'm trying to determine if it's worth getting it exchanged.. most stores in the area are sold out of it so it would be pretty difficult.
Not sure what rattling are U talking about but maybe source of rattling noise during vibration was the same as here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34789475&postcount=8

It's not rattling for me, it's just making a loud buzzing noise. Granted, it's a solid-sounding buzz, but still..
During phone calls, I am getting some distortion or slight background hissing sound on the earpiece when volume is set to around medium. Anyone else getting some distortions or annoying slight background sounds like cellular noise???? I can't replicate the issue when I use another phone other than my Note 2. I really like this phone but the earpiece just does not produce clear sounds. There is definitely slight hissing/buzzing that can be heard when using the phone in quiet places.
I have not experienced the hissing/buzzing but calls do not sound as clear compared to my s3.
I haven't had any issues with mine either.

Yup, same thing on mine. It's not bad, but it is noticeable.
Ive head a bit of crackling a couple of times but once I turned down the volume slightly its not there.
I had mine cranked to the max and then pushed the button for even more volume. No distortion.

Using my ink'd headphones with mic everything was fine. People heard me and I was heard fine. No distortion even with music turned up.

I have had this as well, going to trade mine out today at the Verizon store and will see. It sounds to me like a bad speaker. I just logged on to see if anyone else was having this trouble. Love this beat otherwise though!

I have not noticed this yet, but i will say clarity is not as good as my s3...no hissing or background noises tho.

I immediately noticed the same problem with my Note 2 last night. VZW sent out a replacement today.
Bummer, since the phone isn't rooted yet, it took me a while to set up the phone and install apps...what a pain without Titanium. Also wasted a SGP screen protector. But the earpiece noise was definitely noticeable, especially since my S3 sounds perfect.

Good to know. Hope my replacement is problem-free as well.
Same crackly static/distortion on my earpiece. Looks like ill be calling Verizon as well. Wasted a Zagg on this too.
Correction. Still bad on the second one. Going to get a third one today. Bummer. It sounded pretty good at first, but after a few hours it was back. So we'll see.

I'm getting a distortion/buzz as well. Only appears to be when the earpiece is producing sounds (not all the time) which still very noticible and annoying. I stopped on to see if other people were having the same issue because I had my family and gf vet the problem and they said I was "too sensitive" :silly:
Thanks for posting this, will try swapped hardware this week - otherwise device is excellent!

Yep same here. Using a Plantronics Legend earpiece and have the same distortion.

That sounds like it may be a different problem. As I am experience and read from others the distortion or fuzz is from the built-in earpiece of the device. I have tried to replicate the issue with other outputs (speakerphone, BT earpiece, wired earpiece) and none of my other output attempts have had the issues at all.
If you are experiencing distortion through BT connection only I would look to your BT earpiece or surrounding environment (although less likely).

Could someone please elaborate on the hissing? I have an issue with mine where when someone finishes a sentence talking it becomes sort of static-ey. It doesn't happen all the time.

Well, basically what I experienced was when a person spoke you could hear a short of static type noise with each syllable they spoke. It didn't happen all the time and was worse when talking to Verizon customer support, although that may be because the note 2 can sense evil. My third one seems to have done the trick. I have had since Friday and no issues. I can say as someone mentioned already that the call clarity is not as good as the s3, but I don't care as I love the phone enough. This is only when talking on the phone as mentioned as well. Not through an earpiece.
My Note 2 killed your phone.

Coming from another manufacturer and another carrier (Orig Evo, Sprint) can you clarify the "call quality" comments?
I'm fully on-board with the fuzz/hiss/static that happens when the other person is speaking and I'm working to switch mine out and rectify that issue but I've read a number of places that the quality is lesser than the S3 - how so? Hardware specific from S3 to GN2 or a VZW issue?
Thanks,

The issue is too much volume coming out of these satellites. They can't handle the maximum output, neither the speaker or the earpiece.
From what I can tell this is not a defect issue but the way it is. Replacing phones, especially this early into the production cycle, would be a waste of time for both parties.
