The sound on my s9 plus seems to sounds a bit muffled and not crispy at all. Does anyone know what I can do. I think i can live with it but it's annoying compared to the crisp sound of my note 4
It's terrible in comparison to my S6 Edge+.
Every call so far, I have had to get people to txt me a number so I can call them back from a landline.
At this rate I'll be returning the phone.

Have y'all tried enabling this feature or disabling it
My s9+ got an update today, that is supposed to fix those issues.
Exynos variant, PHN firmware

I don't have any options around "HD calling" as I'm not in the US - I believe it's a Sprint or other US carrier option only.
If I understand the option correctly it's part of VoLTE?

I saw that there was a release in Germany a few days back to resolve call stability, which some sites also claimed to resolve call quality issues.
Version G965FXXU1ARCC by the looks of it. Can you post what version/build number your device now has? Mine is G965FXXU1ARC4.

I placed a support call to Samsung yesterday, we did some troubleshooting including swapping the SIM for my wife's one.
I'm on Spark NZ, she's on Vodafone NZ, and the call quality with hers was perfect.
Her SIM is new, as her device (my Galaxy S6 Edge Plus) was the first she's had with a nano SIM.
My SIM is older, maybe 2 years old.
Anyway Samsung has grabbed hard onto that snippet of info and advised me to get a replacement SIM, and place a new support call if the issue continues.
@jeremysherriff - I am on R16NW.G965FXXU1ARCC
Well for me in Portugal , when i start a call with any one, the sound is really really good at the start i can hear them clearly, and then it gets lower, and lower , and worst and worst i don't understand why, i can still hear them properly, but not as clear as the start of the phone call

Ive been using the camera without any issues so im not sure if it is related only to a couple apps or if its a possible problem with the camera that may get worse over time.
When using redlaser or att code scanner, after the item is done being scanned, the camera itself makes an audible click which is not a shutter noise. You can feel it, its not as strong a feel as the haptic feedback so i believe its the camera.
Is this something i should be worried about? Should i do an exchange on it?
On a side note, this click does not happen with the normal camera app or with any others ive used, just redlaser and att code scanner so far.
try factory restart

Actually, it turns out you DON'T need one!
Samsung thought about this long and hard...finally, they decided to add an actual button on the side of the phone that will do it!! You may see a (+), that means LOUDER. The (-) one means QUIETER! Samsung is the absolute best!

If you are still determined to get it even louder, you can check this link out.
On my Verizon LG G3 sometimes people I am talking to complain that it sounds like I am getting far away and then they can not hear me for a second before the audio for them comes back. When I researched this other people with the Verizon G3 have had this issue and I am wondering now that custom recovery can be flashed, will custom roms/kernals fix this issue? it seems like there is something off with the noise cancellation and that is why it cuts out if not held just the right way.
Having the same issue, wondering the same thing.. Hope it'll 'get fixed' though.

What problems u having
Same problem here. Have found no solution so far...
Only started happening to me when they started rolling out VOLTE in my area.
I have always had it. Drives me nuts, but it's just hear and there. More annoying than anything I guess. Figured coming from T-Mobile it would be better voice. Boy was I wrong....
I disabled two items like call enhancement and background noise suppression or something like that and in call audio
issues went Away. I froze all vzw apps and lots of others and was thinking the combo may have been issue

I have voice enhancement unchecked but,I don't have an option for background noise suppression/cancellation. Is that an extra option that you need root to access? My solution for this issue is to sell my g3 and switch to a new phone.

I might have to root my g3 and try this. My note 4 is getting delivered tomorrow but if this works for my phone I might have to return the note 4. Do you have problems on your calls now with background noise coming through making people you are talking to able to hear that noise easily now?
G3 toolbox in play store. Not sure if that setting needs root. Not sure if you need xposed for g3 toolbox module. Not sure if you u need donation g3 toolbox. Sounds more like hardware defect....but I'm not a doctor. G3 lifer here.

Well I was able to install g3 tweakbox without root and saw the noise cancellation item and it was unchecked already. Not sure if it was because I was not rooted and maybe if i root and install exposed that when I go in it would be checked off for noise cancellation so that I could then disable it.

I had the same issue with mine. It seems to connect better if I have the phone unlocked with the screen on then press the connect button on the Gear S (not a physical button, just on the screen). I'm using AT&T so you may be having a different issue.

it fixed itself with a restart. Now it's good. But I heard you have to change the ringer count before voicemail or it takes forever to forward the calls.

Mine does pretty good on battery life. Two days if I use it bluetooth connected to my phone and don't try to use any mobile networks. One day if I use the watch as a standalone phone without my Note 4 nearby. Although I have noticed that I sometimes get less than a day if I have horrendous service (literally one bar or no service all day). I also get one full day if I set the watch face to stay on permanently so I don't have to raise my arm to see the time. As far a lag, I haven't noticed any. Responds just as quick as I expect it to :good:

I have a mate 20 pro, L29 version. For whatever reason I still have not gotten to Android 10 update. I've tried everything from changing my region and the Hicare app to even reformatting my phone and seeing if I could get the update right away.
Anybody have any ideas how I can force the update to my phone? I live in the US and don't have access to anything like a Chinese SIM card.
I think stay on Emui 9.1! Much nicer and better! Believe me, Android 10 is for the visually impaired!

I have the same problem, bought mate 20 pro from Amazon. I still have emui 9.0.
Tried VPNs, called Support but no solution.
They say get a Chinese sim.
If you get a solution please do post it. I am trying if I get something I'll do the same
I changed my country in the hicare app to either uk or china, but when i did I checked for an update through the hicare app and there was emui 10. I then went to the system update to check for updates and there was nothing there. I downloaded through hicare app and upgraded. I have LYA-L29(C432)

That's a little offensive as I am visually impaired. The dark mode is a lot better on my eyes instead of blinding light and I am greatful that Huawei and especially Google have recognized this and are taking steps to help handicapped people such as myself. Think before you speak and especially before you post for all the world to see!!
Why is it offensive? 9.1 also has dark mode on! Should pay a little attention !!!
