Poor call quality on Rogers arc - Xperia Arc General

Has anyone experienced piss poor call quality on their arc with the noise cancelling turned on or off? All of my clients that I speak to say that all they hear is static coming from my end when I can hear them perfectly. Maybe I just got a lemon, but I want to knowif anyone else is having the same problem

I unlocked mine and am using it on Telus. So far I have not had anyone complain about the quality of the call on the other end.

Anyone else care to chime in? I tried a voice recorder app, and it seems that the sound is a bit tinny... Maybe I did get a lemon =\

No issues with voice quality. I think it is better than any of the HTC phones or the Motorola that I've had.

Call Quality

Every other phone is a “killer” of some sort nowadays, but when you get down to basics the most killer thing a cell PHONE can do it make calls. I’ve had my X1 for about a week now and I have to say I’m experiencing the best call quality (clarity, crispness of voice, lack of background noise etc…) out of any phone I’ve had or used to date. Although it would have been great if the speakerphone was louder, maybe adding another speaker.
Prior to this I was using an n95. I’m running an X1i on at&t, mostly in Brooklyn, NY or NYC. Are your experiences similar? Note that I’m talking about the actual call quality, not reception.
I cannot say the same for me
neither can I unfortunately .. in fact, quality is probably the worse I ever had on a cell phone before ... I m on Vodafone, London zone 1
I would have to disagree aswell i think this is 1 of the worst quality sounding phones i have had i a long while when on a call, even if some calls me from a landline its comes out all muffeled and really hard to understand the person on the other end.

Agreed. Call quality is very fine.
I haven't heard any complaints from my friends also.
I am also getting the best quality compared to my Blackberry BOLD, Palm Centro and N95 8GB.
until now, no problems.
Call is very high quality. Only complain: at maximum level, there might occur some cracks. But anyway, you can't keep at maximum simply because it's too loud.
Anyway, i'm very satisfied with my X1i. Calling & data connections: the best i've had until now.
It is the best phone quality I ever had on a PPC -since XDA, XDA II, XDA IIi, Trion and Toshiba G900. And it is great loud. Even on a street with a lot of people and roadworking I can clearly hear the other side. It is the first time I am very satisfied with the phone quality of a PPC
Yup,i am having the best quality for calls,the sound is really crisp and so loud.
The first X1 I had was dreadful - awful quality - dropped calls all the time so I sent it back and got a brand new replacement from the second batch.
This is the best call quality I've ever had - Nokia, Samsung, HTC or otherwise. And don't be fooled by the number of Bars - There's a notorious blackspot where I travel with no reception - the X1 doesn't even fade!
Hate to think what it's doing to my brain waves!!

can you let us have some more details of your device?
Network branded?
wk build number (underneath battery inside)
Radio Version?
start>settings>device information
Rom?
I'm on
radio 1.06.25.29
Rom 1.02
curious to know if there's some newer ones coming out..
If the signal is low there are cracks and the quality drops dramatically. Especially when the battery is running low at the same time, it gets even worse.
Has anyone noticed that the sound changes for a couple of seconds when you press the keypad numbers during a voice call?
ROM – 1.02.931.3
Radio- 1.06.25.29
Xperia produced week 46
The earlier Xperias are the ones that developed the cracks by the stylus, had some peeling issues, I also think the earlier productions are the ones that overheat (no substantial proof ).. So it might just be a production issue.
Apart from the hardware (etc) the call quality should relate to whether you are talking over GSM or 3G. The call quality on mine is brilliant too.
Call quality is in pair with my SE M600i, clear and loud, only vibration is too strong especially during calls. Side speaker is a bit lower quality and not so loud, but that's the case almost for every other phone out there.

How you guys find the audio quality of the phone?

I'm pretty curious to know since GSMArena lambasted the audio output of the device when playing via headphones.
How do you guys find the quality? Acceptable?
I find it to be pretty good, even with the earphones that came with it.

How about the speaker where we listen to other people when we are on a call?
And other people hear you well?
People on call sound very clear, and I haven't had any complaints from people while I'm talking to them.
sound quality is fine i have no complaints or issues reported from people i have called or have called me speaker phone is good no issues there unless the volume is all the way up it will distort but that is the same for most phones i beleive
i also have it paired with the sexii SE HBH is800 and have no issues
PS im loving the phone
Tough choice... I wish the screen is 4inch thou. The price point is ideal for an early adopter set.
Just want to add my two bits:
The phone call audio quality is actually very good. I had the Milestone (Droid) before and this is better. The audio quality through headphones is also good.
Where it isn't so good is for speakerphone. I don't use that very often, but if you listen to music out loud all the time, this probably isn't the phone for you (get a Surround!).
P.S. I am also in love with my phone!

Thanks for all your answers!
Commander Data one question, i dont listen to music that much, but now and then i like too. Do you mean the speakerphone is bad quality or low volume?
I'm also concerned because i use a lot of calls on speakerphone... What are your opinions?
Thanks in advance!

It's certainly manageable. I just had a 15 minute conversation on speakerphone and the other person seemed to be able to hear me fine and I could hear them fine, it's just not excellent. I came from the Milestone, which has a superb speaker. I would say the speaker on the LG is probably half the size so it really comes down to volume. If you crank it, it gets fairly distorted (especially on calls), but at medium volume there is no distortion and you can hear it fine. In other words, it is not a selling feature on the phone, but not a detractor (I had a Blackberry before this and it wasn't as good on speakerphone). Personally, the LG's superior built quality all around is more than enough to make up for a middle of the road speaker. I think gsmarena complained about the speaker because the rest of the phone is truly at premium class and they would have liked to have seen the speaker at the premium level too.
Edit: I should note that the conversation I had on speakerphone had two other people listening in with me and they heard fine.
Thanks Commander

Bad Voice Quality

Hello, I am from Austria and since the X Force ist now available in my country I immediately ordered it. I really love this Phone hence one thing. Voice quality when calling is really bad.
When calling I can barely hear my partner, there is a lot of noise which sounds like some interference from somewhere. It actually depends on whom I am calling though. Mobile to Mobile is quite bad, Mobile to landline is ok! Is there anyone else having these issues? I can still get it replaced by Amazon, but the Rest of the Phone works perfectly so I don't really want to have it replaced.
Hi , received too my MFX this week here in switzerland, GSM/3G call quality is good nothing to complain. Same good quality with Whatsapp calls . Noise reduction works pretty well too people hear me loud and clear .
We've got 3 Turbo 2's since mid-November, and the voice quality has actually been excellent. It's especially remarkable with "HD Voice" courtesy of Verizon's "advanced calling" when that's available - truly the best voice quality I've experienced on any mobile device.

Call quality

When you call granny, does she keep saying "Huh?! Wut?!" or does the conversation flow pretty well? Rate this thread to express how you feel about the 's call quality. A higher rating indicates that calls are clear and crisp, and that regardless of background noise, you can hear the other party clearly (and with ample volume) and they can hear you.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Pixel 4 XL / Sprint / Southern California
- WiFi calling sounded really bad. Was told I sounded like I was under water.
- VoLTE sounded not as bad. QWas told I sounded like I was on the radio in the 80's.
- CDMA old school regular network sounded amazing.
Not sure why I'm not having success with these "upgraded" calling techniques. But, whatever, CDMA it is.

Same here, I was told I sounded underwater on wifi
I haven't talked to anyone on WiFi, but one thing, signal didn't drop in some areas here that other devices always drop out on
I've been told that on speakerphone, I sound awful. Muffled and underwater sounding. Apparently, when holding the phone instead, I sound fine.
I haven't had any complaints with speakerphone on WiFi calling and mobile network. My phone is on Sprint.

Overall I was told I sounded clear over WiFi and also while on speaker phone however when I was in the car on speaker phone someone did say it sounded funny (I was kind of fidgeting and holding the phone weird though)
The weird thing is that video and audio recordings sound fine. I just seem to have trouble with speakerphone. Someone on Reddit who seems to be having similar issues to me speculated that it's aggressive microphone noise cancellation on calls, which I guess could possibly be the case. I just tried calling a landline on speakerphone and it sounded fine, but this is a different environment (quiet office as opposed to city apartment) compared to where I usually have had problems. It happens for me with both Wifi Calling on and off, and with speakerphone off it sounds fine, so it doesn't seem to be a signal issue.
ok speakers needs dual front facing with that ugly ridiculous forehead
Call quality is really nice with Verizon!
I don't like Verizon but the HD voice is what it is [emoji23]

No issues here in UK with Three. I now have WiFi calling, something I missed with my Pixel 2 XL. HD calling is superb, loud and crisp ??
T-Mobile unlocked device from Google, on WiFi-Calling all day at work, 4G at home, never had issues. It sounds great for me, and nobody has said otherwise when I'm on the phone with them.
I'm in the UK and I'm on 3, with my Pixel 4 XL. WiFi calling is awful, the other person can't hear me and it's like I'm under water.
If I'm on speakerphone WiFi or not they say I cut out if I move even slightly away from the phone, like it's trying to cancel my voice out. I've already had one replacement from google for it and I've got the exact same problem. Extremely frustrating,
Att service.
The call quality on this phone is superior to any phone I've owned in the past.
The volte hd voice is amazingly clear. And so is the wifi calling
Sometimes calls just hang up randomly but usually only on the first try. Did custom softwares, factory resets but still. A little weird

OnePlus 6T - Galaxy Buds+ integration

The Galaxy Buds+, when paired with OnePlus 6T gives a very bad call quality. The callers could here a lot of external noise and also wind noise from my side. But, the same Buds+ when connected with other phones (iphone x, s10lite, note9) give a good call quality. Now my callers shout at me to disconnect the buds+ while talking with them. Does anyone else use Buds+ with OnePlus 6T and face the same issue? Does changing ROM solve this? Or nothing could be done?

I had the same issue to the point that I had to get rid of them. One plus BT is terrible and has been for a while.

Its a bit peculiar considering they all worked fine for the initial few days.

I'm facing the same issue. Should I hope for a fix anytime soon?
