Cellular Strength is not upto the mark..

Excellent. No complaints. O2 UK. Very rare to find myself with no signal. Much better than galaxy s7 in this respect.

I get static noises and bad line on calls where the other parties can't hear me properly.

I use the X Compact on T-Mobile. Unfortunately it doesn't support VoLTE or wifi calling, so it has to use the older GSM networks for phone calls. I have fairly regular problems hearing the other party because of this, unfortunately. Of course this depends on the signal in the area, but other phones that support VoLTE handle calls much better in my area.
Calls over 4G (like Hangouts) are crisp as clear as anything else.

Same for me in France, X Compact does not work with VoLTE but it's not Sony's fault. Device is compatible. Blame the operator...
Quality call is very good for me even in 3G and with poor reception so it's still OK.

The build in speaker is pretty bad.
Microphone cutting out during calls
I am afraid to report that my S7 edge microphone is cutting out during calls, and that it sometimes simply drops calls. I have an Exynos version on Swisscom, and I will unfortunately return the phone within the two week-return period .
Am I the only one affected by this issue?
My speaker start making noise within the call and almost muted. Also when I talk longer somehow something switching- I can hear it and then adding like a 'echo '. Difficult to explain.
and the quality is way worst than iPhone 6+
My earphone started making popping - clicking like sounds when the other person is speaking. It is kinda irritating. Any body else has the same?

Check speaker with *#0*# code
Same problem here. Speaker sounds ok on all three frequencies.
The problem is only there when I am talking to someone via gsm network. Not on viber or listening to music. Please note that I have used same gsm network number on other phone and it works well.
Beep sound
The only problem i have with the s7 edge calling speaker is the *BEEP* sound when calling someone. It sounds distorted.
Maybe it's my carrier.
Anyone else?
During my test of low frequencies, the clear sound was only in 300. The other two - 100 and 200 was kind of noisy, messy comparing to the 300
Is it normal or there is something wrong with my phone?
4.5/5
Same issue

never had a call drop, poor connections or refusal of the device to connect a call. i generally have never really thought much about it, or paid much attention to it. so i guess, in a way, that says a great deal, in a positive light.
For me it is a bit quiet at times.
And also i just got it from repair because if i pressed fhe phone too hard onto my ear it started makinh wierd noises, like cracking. And somtimes it made it louder. Sometimes totally muted it. Now that its back its okay but still i think it could be a bit louder

This can be turned off in call settings.

Call quality also depends on carrier, network etc. HD Voice, Wifi Call or voLTE.
Also different carriers have different quality in their systems.
From my point of view the call quality is amazing with both 4G Voice/voLTE and HD voice.
On my carrier voLTE requires both caller and receiver to be on same network, if I call people on other operators I ''just get'' HD Voice.
I have not tried the speaker without root and Viper4Android. But with V4A the speaker sounds good, high and clear!
This said if there are alot of background noice on receivers end, I find HD Voice to be better than voLTE.
In quiet surroundings I find vOLTE superior again.

How about quality when there is poor network?

I meant to say if there is poor network or fluctuations hows the reception or stability? Meaning the call still continues or drops immediately. Just wanted to compare with others. No need to use such word for simple things. Be a good member of xda
nice
Very loud calls.

On the handset, I "sound like I'm on a speaker phone", the other party sounds like they are talking to me through a tuna can. this is intermittent though. other callers I normally speak with sound normal (HD)
That's not normal.

Both phones are acting the same way. I am on Verizon and the issue has been with another Verizon customer. My VOIP phones come through in HD.

I have T-Mobile and calls come through clearly...but when they work. The network signal is terrible even though my other phones with the same sim card all work great in the same areas. Essential must have either a really messed up software modem in this device, or the devices themselves shipped with either broken or inferior antennas.
I'm on Sprint. I've only made one phone call yesterday while standing outside, and I'm not sure how I sounded like to the other person, but on my end the call audio kept cutting in and out like I was in tunnel.
I'm hoping this is fixed with a software update, I might have to switch back to my Nexus 6.
A quick edit:
I just made another phone call and half of the call the person sounded like they was a robot under the water.
After spending tons on other flagships and sounding like i was on a paper cup this device is very clear
Telecomm strength is in average only ..
Sprint calls sound meh on this device... TMobile sounds better. Speakerphone on Sprint is horrible. Haven't tried speakerphone on TMobile
Call quality is great in both receiving and making calls here in Belgium (provider: Proximus). Downside: compared to my previous phone (iPhone 7 plus) the signal drops more often and reconnects slower...
Horrible with no service in weak service area. I am with T-mobile and there's no signal at home whereas i see 2 bars with my OnePlus and S8.
Had a 35 minute call today, switching between mic and speaker-phone. The person that called me said the call clarity was Crystal Clear! I am on Verizon with VOLTE activated.

perfect in France (Bouygues Telecom)
Call quality is good but I find the in call volume very low ,am I missing a setting somewhere
I don't find that at all.
Sent from my PH-1 using XDA Labs
In Canada on Rogers... Call quality excellent and haven't had a dropped call since Nov. purchase.
Fine on Verizon.
Cell quality is not good with my PH-1
It is only about 2 or 3 signal blocks....
At the same place, my redmi is with 4 to 5 signal blocks.
Very sad.:crying:

Earpiece sounds really nice clear and loud when making a call with AT&T.
Signal strength is about the same as my other phones with same sim card in the same place.
I have a demo phone and this is with 7.1.1; upgraded to Oreo and speech to text stopped working. Went back to 7.1.1

Call quality is good enough...
Calls on the other side sound muddled and not very clear
Maybe it's some kind of a network problem, cause in my case the quality is excellent, cristal clear and loud, I had to turn down the in call volume.
Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk
no problem with mine either. clear & loud enough. i turn down the in call volume.
Clear and loud, mic is next usb-c port
Just good enough.
why it sometimes auto calling when I receiving the call?
I'm getting a lot of distortion on earpiece, though not always. Receiver test gives perfectly clear sound, but when I call someone or answer the call sound is loud as hell and distorted. Lowering it down does help a little but it is still bad. At first I thought that it is a hardware issue with speaker but, as I already said, receiver test is perfect, sometimes only tone for ringing on the other side is distorted, and sometimes everything is fine.
No problem with calls over loudspeaker and 3.5mm.

with virtual operators it behaves really bad.
echo, metal voice etc ....
Loud af
Just good enough.
My granny is dead.
After 2018Feb update the call volume permanently dropped like 80% in my device. And I've been reading in the official forums it happened to a lot of people, but Xiaomi's moderators are denying it or calling it a feature (#$%& #$%&). It's so frustrating that I'm considering replacing Android One with Lineage OS.
Call quality is one of those things where you won't get consistent answers because it's depending on too many variables:
- Are you using VoLTE?
- Is your call partner using VoLTE?
- Your Carrier?
- Call partner's carrier?
- Your current signal?
- Call partner's current signal?
To me it seems to be pretty average. I can't say that I have noticed anything unusual about it, neither positive nor negative.

And also depends how clean your ears are.
Call quality in loudspeaker mode is ****ty. People can't clearly ear you while you can hear them very good.
speaker is too low volume

I guess this might help you. The post if for the ear speaker but if you need to increase the volume of the bottom speaker is basically the same procedure.

The worst thing about MI A1 is after upgrading the Android version to 9 (PIE) microphone volume is slightly reduced. I have a friend has the same issue. When you call some one, he/she says "your voice is so quite, it is hard to hear and understand what you say".
There might be a bug and need a patch. I was hopping that the MI produces a patch but last two patches (february and january) did not include a fix for that problem.

About the same as my S8
I'm finding the call quality to be quite poor, the person on the other end always seems to sound muffled. 4 out of 10 for me at the moment.
I would say it is worse than my note 8 tbh it is hard to understand the person on the other end. Its always funny to me how these "phones" never improve the actual functions of the phone

Hi, guest here. The call quality is pretty poor, I have to turn on the hearing aids so I can hear people with max volume during calling, I also had to turn on dobly atmos. Whenever listening to media its fine, just during calling it sounds like absolute garbage, I kinda wanna trade in for a different device if they don't fix it with a software update.
On Verizon and no issues at all. VoLTE high quality sound and no loudness issues. Great phone.
Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk
I have unlocked version and have tested on both Verizon and Tmobile. Both were usable but the Verizon call quality was noticeably better and very good.
Superb!
I am on T-mobile in the U.S. in the Mid-West and the call quality is excellent as well as the reception. The Note 9 has improved radios and I have no issues in areas I previously had poor signal strength on my previous device.
Call quality seems a little better than my S8A which was pretty good. Can hold calls we're the S8A couldn't. Pretty impressed.
On at&t

Call quality on exynos version is a bit worse than on my previous device on snapdragon 630 (1st floor of 9 floor city house)
Excellent call quality on [email protected] (Tested on Jio and Airtel) #Note9 Exynos
For communications, the Galaxy Note 9 is also very good. Note that the phone is compatible VoLTE and VoWiFi and therefore remains in 4G + calls (instead of switcher edge / 3G). The quality of the audio is very good, both in transmission and reception, with good isolation of the voice compared to surrounding noise and very little distortion.

The call quality of the Note 9 is pretty good. At full volume, the voice of the call partner is easy to understand even in very noisy environments. However, under normal circumstances, the caller sounds way too loud at maximum volume. The sound quality is not as clear as we would have liked, and there is also some background noise which is irritating sometimes!
The enhanced radios on my Snapdragon T-mobile branded Note 9 have greatly improved reception quality. In areas where I previously experienced poor signal quality/dropped calls on other devices, I now have a full set of bars and no problems. Whereas other sites focus on camera quality, color selection and other aesthetics, it's good to see one that remembers that the most important feature of a phone is its ability to send and receive calls.
