I just thought to check whether it works on speakerphone- it does, so is my streak broken?
Could be, check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=763468
This person's earpiece stopped working and Dell said that it was a known issue, send it back to Dell or O2 and they should either fix it or replace it for you. Hope that helps!
ah yea, cheers dude, will see what dell say
I'm sorry guys I jumped ship. I wanted to like my atrix so much! Literally the only problem I had, seriously the only problem was the people couldn't understand me when I talked to them. It was a great phone but I'm starting to like my phone more.

Well I would assume working on your speaking or getting a less defective Atrix would work just as well. Not like anyone else has a probably with the voice quality...
I had the same problem. I turned off the noise cancellation feature and that fixed it. The noise cancellation feature sounds like it has a gate with a threshold that's too high so it cuts off the beginning and end of words.

Yea I got the inspire sorry for not being specific. Well I talked to the guy at best buy and he looked at me like I just wanted a new phone. But I'm pretty sure I know how to hold a phone and even when my phone was two inches away from my mouth when I was on speaker and people are still complaining I don't think that it's the position I'm holding it. It's not user error and now all of the sudden after I got the inspire people have been commenting on how they can hear me for the first time since I got my atrix. They didn't know I got a new phone. I'm not trying to say the atrix was a bad device it just didn't suit my needs as well as I liked. And I didn't know how I was going to be able to prove that my atrix had bad call quality to the best buy guy since it's a qualitative example.

you probably coulda called him and walked across the store to show that your mic was bad, nobody has any problems understanding me whatsoever.
I've had complaints on my phone as well... they say it sounds muffled basically. I'll see if things get better with noise cancellation off. That's one of the few complaints I've had about the phone actually. I never really had much concern over call quality, but it's been mentioned enough times that I think it's a reasonable issue.

If you didn't think you could convince the BB guy with a phone call and then you state that the Atrix didn't suit your needs, it tells me that you really did just want a new phone. If you didn't like the device just be honest about it. If you liked the device you would have exchanged it for a different Atrix as defective.
My phone sounded muffled on the first day of owning it. Now I have no complaints, not sure if it was a setting or what.
I had the same issues with speakerphone, but after I turned off noise cancellation everything was better.

Actually a lot of people have issues with the voice quality. I've gone through 3 atrixes and still have the same issue, even the employees at the ATT store notice it. Motorola said they were working on it and some people have had some luck exchanging the phone, others have not been so lucky. The issue is only with the mic in the phone, if you use bluetooth then voice quality is crystal clear.
Bell atrix here..
On Fido. SOUNDING CRYSTAL CLEAR
Hi Guys,
I am looking at buying a unlocked phone. I am going to ask my friend to pick up one for when he is travelling to US next month. None of listed phones are available in my country and I guess it will take another year. Before that I guess we would have quad core phones I was almost fixed on Atrix until I read the voice quality problem. I won't be able to replace it with the new one so easily. What you guys reckon? My second choice is LG optimus 2x or Dell Streak. Just want your advise so I could make up my mind.
I have an AT&T Atrix unlocked on Rogers in Canada and have had zero call quality issues. It's on par with my Nexus One, if not better. I cannot speak for the LG, but I've had a streak and far prefer my Atrix.
The Streak was a great phone, but I found it too big. I tried it as a cross between a phone/tablet and that's exactly what it is. As for Streak call quality, it was great via bluetooth, but found it horrid when holding it up to my head.. not to mention I felt like a tool everytime I had to put it up against my head.
My vote is Atrix, although I still get my flash fixes from my Nexus, so it depends on what you're looking for.
i cant speak on the LG or Streak, just the atrix
holding the phone to ear:
hearing people on my Atrix is good -> above good
i felt the N1 speaker in the ear was much better
talking into the phone, i had to turn off the noise surpression feature and as log as i wasnt erratic with my talking i can be heard fairly well...
hands free speakerphone
i can be heard very loud and clearly, and the speaker is very loud and clear
i have not used any bluetooh device with it yet, but have heard good things, depending on the quality of the BT device you choose...
GL (love the atrix gonna be hard to get this away from me)
IMO forget about the Dell Streak. I had one for 5 months, and the lack of updates, plus the overall laggyness of the interface was really annoying.
I've had a play with an LG 2X and its very quick. The build quality (and the big chin below the screen) was a major let down. The call quality was pretty poor also (typical of all LG phones).
I've had my Atrix now for just over a month. I've had no call quality issues. I bought the Bell Canada version, and I am thankful now, because the Bell seems to accept other firmwares (eg, flashed an Australian Telstra SBF on to it with 100% success) where as the AT&T version does not allow you to do this.
I would go the Atrix if you need a phone right now. If not, maybe hang out for the Samsung Galaxy S II and compare them both. IMO the SGS II will be a nice phone, but the super amoled screen is going to look pretty pixelated at 800x480 res on 4.3" - and its a pretty big phone too.
Thanks for the reply guys. Atrix will be my first choice. I will be getting one of the unlocked version from ebay. I mostly find the AT & T version only there. I am also following up with the Motorola Audio quality thread, hopefully its not a hardware issue just a software issue.

Beware.
There's no such "unlocked version" of the Atrix. It's not the iphone world anymore my friend.
Please estimate the unlock at only $20 USD when you're looking for an unlocked Atrix.
Or else we will show you how to unlock an AT&T Atrix for $20 USD.
Thanks and gold luck.
Edit: To add to your first question. I did not face issues with call quality in the Atrix. I knew from the very first call I made using it that it's crisper than my previous iphone 3GS. Moreover, The external speaker is epic on the Atrix!
From experience the Atrix has better voice quality than ny streak. Also I use a stereo bluetooth headset when I play basketball at the gym. With the streak, I had to put the phone in a holster on my hip because it would cut in and out while listening to music and occasionally drop the connection entirely until I reconnected them. With the atrix, I can sit my phone down in the corner somewhere and play full court basketball and rarely even get a skip in the music.

Thanks for the reply. I was bit worried since there were complaints about muffled or muted voice quality on the other side. But good to hear not all of them are affected. I have to take a bit of risk anyways no support for Atrix in my country.

Hey mate, are you facing any problems with the call quality?
It's really luck at this point. Like you said, check the call quality thread on the official moto forums. There are hundreds of posts where people have had a ****on of troubles. I went through 3 Atrix phones before finding one that was acceptable. Noise suppresion on the phone is done via second mic on the back of the phone.
I had various hardware problems with the previous Atrix phones that I've had and I continue to have problems with the last one I got.
Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I would not gamble my money and hope to get a good unit from eBay.
One exemple: me.....i have that probleme and im at portugal. I cant chance the phone now....i houpe motorola launch an update ota to correct this

I have the same worry mate. I guess Motorola should still cover it, however I can't ship it so many time back and forth. I could buy a new mobile for that

My Atrix also has no problem with voice call quality. Don't have the LG or Dell to compare though.
I experienced the poor quality on the atrix but my current one is ok.
I think the atrix is a great phone, but if I had a choice id get the LG g2x.
IPS LCD screen that's supposed to be very nice.
Superior build quality/materials
Better camera.
Stock HDMI mirroring
The only thing the atrix has on it are more RAM, fingerprint, and bigger battery. Check youtube reviews on the LG. Reviewers rave about it

I was at my sons field day and had my streak in my pocket all day and from bending over and squatting and everything else that was happening the outer frame bowed up and out away from the frame and the volume buttons slid down and now it wont snap back together, now it thinks there is headphones plugged in when there is not. They keep trying to tell me its "customer induced" damage when in the pics that they had me send them clearly shows that there is no other damage to it but that. Its been escalated to the highest level supposedly but I don't believe that. I want to talk to a person that speaks English fluently and understands that crazy things happen every day with products. Its not like they aren't going to fix and send it right back out as a refurbished device. So does anyone have a number or a way to contact someone other then the non English speaking tech people.

A Dell rep recently scammed me into buying speakers they said were on discount. However they were just selling me cheap speakers. When I called to make a complaint about the sales person I got the run around until I was disconnected.
Good luck dealing with Dell if you have a compliant.

No offense to anybody,but the guys on Dell support speak worse english than me,my first language is not english either and sometimes I have such hard time understanding them.
Had to call today because my Streak keeps freezing if it's facing my leg,I had such difficult time understanding every single word they guy said but anyways they are gonna send me a replacement so we'll see.....though as soon as I get it in the mail I am gonna list it on ebay,I am kind of tired of this device and its glitches.
hey guys ive been offered a dell streak 5, but the cover for the touch buttons has came off, apparently the buttons still work and the cover just needs replaced, if i cant get old one back on is it easy enough to source a replacement or is it a whole new housing? also ive already got an x10i is the streak a better phone , i ve heard its good but im looking for people who have actually used it

No it's just one little piece. The streak is an awesome phone, but I've never used the x10i so I won't compare.
