I just got my Rezound and one of my only complaints is the call quality. It sounds very distorted. I wasn't sure if there was a mod or something I could flash to change or better the call quality.
Search is your friend.
Scroll down to almost the last post.
Thanks, I did a search and for some reason didn't see that. Anyways, tried it and calls still sound off. Im beginning to think that it's a speaker issue.
My first rezound had a bad ear piece speaker. Sound like the speak was blown out. The new phone I have is perfect. Exchange the phone.

my incall quality is great, it's the low speaker volume that sucks!
As a phone my Rezy has far and away the best performance for voice calls of any smartphone I've ever owned...ymmv.

Purchased the Amaze a few days ago and loving it...everything except the call quality. Voice calls sound tinny like I have a bad connection most of the time. In addition there is noticeable background hiss.
Has anyone else had this issue or do I have a bad unit (with a defective earpiece or sound hardware)?
Mine doesn't have this problem.. I haven't seen anyone else complain either. I would say do an exchange.

I think you've got a bad unit. I would rate the call quality on mine as excellent - on par with my BlackBerries.
To a discerning ear I could consider it tinny, I'd also throw in that it's pretty quiet, as well.
I do have to say that it is still very good.
Ever since I booted up the DNA, the speaker sounded outrageously loud distinguishably.
I pulled out my old Samsung Fascinate and tested its decibel level at full volume...and guess what; the full volume from the Fascinate is close to what the DNA produces at the lowest volume level!!!
At full volume from the DNA, it clearly eats up the sound from my laptop at its full volume.
Nonetheless the sound quality even at full is just superb with no distortion nor uneven dynamics of each frequencies (From standards of a phone of course), but it is just too damn loud even at the lowest level.
Yeah I like how loud and clear it is, but I also find it annoying that this thing is still quite loud at the literal lowest volume setting haha. Oh well...

Mine isn't very loud .. is it broke?

Yeah, it really cramps my style watching videos in my work bathroom. I have to lug my N7 around now because of it!
Using speakerphone is a bit quiet for my taste.

You could test your DNA's decibel levels and have HTC determine if your device is functioning as it should be. But I doubt that yours is a faulty one, as HTC would test all products during the manufacturing stage.
GSM arena tested it

GSM arena tested it and it did very well it is supposed to be 83.1 decibels so I suppose if yours is less than that then your speaker is faulty. I feel like mine is not that loud of a speaker so I may have the same problem as you.:crying:
True.
I would agree, it seems rather loud, especially for some of the ringtones. It also depends on the ambience of the room obviously. In a quiet house where no noise is made for several hours, a simple tone on low volume seems too loud. Though when I go outside, sometimes the speaker is not loud enough. I can't ever find that happy medium.
Ha! OK, I thought I was the only one to think this phone was loud. In fact, I even seem to remember seeing another post on here about the phone being too quiet. Whaaaa?!? I find myself attempting to turn down the earpiece volume even though it's already on the lowest setting. Sometimes I think people sitting next to me are listening in... I can use the earpiece as a speakerphone in a quiet setting. Any devs out there planning on creating a custom ROM would do themselves good to add a wider sound range for the earpiece speaker.
Mine is noticeably loud but not like, exceptionally so. I usually keep it like 2 notches below full and the ringtones are kind of "normal volume".
This is interesting. I have found my DNA to be too quiet even with volume at 100%. I can barely hear (let alone understand) the navigation voice when driving in my car. Though I do find the earpiece to be ridiculously loud. Other people around me can easily hear the caller speaking when I'm on the phone. I'll have to see if I can find a way to test it.
Put me in the "too loud on speakerphone" category. The sound is clear, but it is WAY too loud at the lowest volume setting on speakerphone. It's a real problem for me, as I ALWAYS use the speakerphone, but I don't want everyone within 50 feet to hear my conversation. It's crazy-loud.
Is there any way to tweak this? Some dbproperties, or whatever? Also, has anyone been able to root this phone? I can't find any instructions that actually work. Thanks
ClarkSt,
Adjusting output level from software or kernel isn't yet possible on this device, but you can reduce the speaker volume manually; simply cover the speaker bar with your finger or some rubber or wood material to the length which you want it to be.

Yeah, it's pretty loud for me too, but only on the second setting level, the first level is perfect on mine, I compared it to a Galaxy S2 and Nexus.
I'm loving this phone in all other respects, but the call quality sounds a bit muffled to me. Anyone else?
I'm coming from an HTC Inspire 4G. It wasn't the greatest in terms of call quality but I feel like it sounded better than my new LOG.
I was expecting bad call quality after reading reviews, but my call quality is excellent and never muffled. And I also get good service at work whereas my iPhone 5 usually had NO signal.

I had the same concern. However, this phone gives me the best signal reception and the call sound quality is exceptional. Sound so good, loud and clear from the builtin speaker.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
Agreed...This phone has the best sound quality for phone calls that I've ever had.
Mine is excellent,actually the best sounding phone I have owned and coming from a S3,
Not a problem here.

Turns out the area I was in when I made this post just had incredibly poor reception. Call quality is great when I've got a proper signal!

I went to a show last night and took some videos.
The audio recording on this thing is terrible.
I go to a lot of metal shows, and have been able to capture the action beautifully in the past. This was not even close to a metal show in volume, and the audio sucked.
Coming from an Atrix 4g which handled loud recording like a champ, this is quite a let down.
I remember that video recording at shows worked best on any stock based rom for the Atrix. Trying it with Cm, the audio would come out crappy.
I think the reason it is so bad is because the mic sensitivity is way too high. Does anyone know how to reduce it?

Even semi loud recording is terrible... Wasn't sure if it was the app or the phone at the time.

im on the same boat at the moment, my S2 is a champ at it when it comes to loud audio recording and my OG is supposedly going to be my new vlog cam for the car, looks like ill have to invest in something different
There is a mod that was posted that'll enhance camera / video and audio recording. I've noticed a huge increase in quality in all 3 aspects. Check the dev section.
Sent from my LG-E970
the last phone i had that could handle high quality recordings was a nokia n97 4 years ago, since then the 4 phones i had were crap compared.
I would recomend an external mic to record concerts, that's what i do.
here u have some info http://goo.gl/57vRX
could you post up a video for reference? i'm curious how the video itself looks.
i personally use my work phone (iphone 4s) which does great except for bass clipping. it is better to use a separate voice recorder (i use an Olympus WS-210S which works fantastic).
Here are some samples...
First is an Arkona show from last March. This was shot with the Atrix and the sound is amazing... for a phone.
Scroll to 1 min for when the loud stuff starts.

Good grief. The OG is absolutely TERRIBLE. It's a distortion fest.
I really think the mic gain needs to be turned down...

I was hoping for some advice. I have received my Z2 today - the overall phone seems amazing, but the call quality through the earpiece seems really poor. There is muffled sound, clearly some digital background and sometimes it is quite hard to hear the other person. I have changed settings and sim (as I thought it could be static) but all to no avail.
Any advice I would be grateful.
I am with Vodafone UK and quality on my iPhone 5s was amazing but this is poor.
Thanks

Maybe a stupid question but could it have been the person at the other end's phone? Have you tested more than one call?

Move the phone around your ear. You maybe positioning it too low.

I have tried that as well. The calls just sound digitised and there is a lot of noise with the calls - it is louder than the voices themselves.
I hear quiet noise during call exactly when opposite speak...looks like speaker generize voice and strange noise in background.
EDIT: noise is present all time but when opposite speaks it is little louder...

That sounds quite similar - but it is causing me not to be able to easily hear the other person.
Are there only two such cases? Should we exchange our devices?

No, mine does this too. I'm hoping an update addresses it.
I also hear a little bit of noise when the other person speaks, and the earpiece seems to not be 100% fixed and I can notice some vibration with loud sound (might be just my phone).
I love everything about this phone except sound quality that I found disappointing in general (earpiece, loud speakers, headphone sound...)

I hope that an update fixes this but it seems hardware related on my handset.
Called Sony - they know nothing of this issue!
I received my Z2 yesterday and I have absolutely no issues with my earpiece. Call quality is great comparing to my iPhone 5. It's nice and clear. It is also so loud that others (people around me) can hear my earpiece too. This is a first phone I had to turn down the earpiece volume down.
BTW I on Three UK.
Yes I agree. I love the phone but disappointed with the call quality. Im In the UK on EE.
One thing I would say I did notice a similar noise on my Iphone 5s but not as bad so maybe because the Z2 is much louder and clearer I am now noticing it more.
I dont notice it all the time.
Other than that I love the phone.
I can see that on very quiet places noise level is higher, on little loud places it disappear; could it be bad job of noise reduction alghoritm?
It is mediocre at best for me. Hissing and some noise. Same for people on the other end. AT&T here.

It might be network related. Please post your mobile providers.
No issues here on the O2 network. Calls are clear and noise free for both ends of the conversation.
