I am just going to say it... the htc aria's call quality is horrible. Maybe I feel that way because before the aria i had a nokia phone. However if you go to settings- -call- -hearing aid. If you check th hearing aid option the call qualit is much better and you can hear people even in noisy rooms.
FYI: I recently got a check up and I have perfect hearing.
So my question is does this hearing aid use up battery life? And how do you guys think the call quality is?

I do notice that if I lower the volume a little bit I can hear an echo of myself in the mic.. Also, the volume of the music player can be better too..

I have seen the hearing aid setting, but I cannot find it in options on cm6..

Infinitely better from the terrible LG Vu I had prior to my Aria and definitely better than iPhone. I have no complaints.
the in call quality is a lot better than the other phones i've had. the volume may not be as loud, but the quality of the audio is great. i haven't had any echo/weirdness at all. i had tons of that with some of my other phones.
from what i've asked people i call, the quality on their end has improved since getting the aria as well.

In general, I have always been really happy with call quality on every HTC device I've used. I think it is probably one of their phone's best characteristics.

I had really bad echoe problems with my 3GS, I think it may be an AT&T thing. The Aria is a much better telephone imo than the 3GS in every area except speaker volume. The speaker on the Aria just isn't loud enough, but I have better signal and way fewer dropped calls than with the 3GS.
Tinny sound + Earpiece louder than Speakerphone
When talking on the Aria I get a tinny sound in the ear speaker on the phone...also people claim I am breaking up yet I hear them loud and clear.
Anyone else getting this?
Ear piece louder than Speaker phone...

No to all three off your questions

Sounds a little like a troll thread. I've had nothing but clear calls. It may not hold full bars like some of my other devices, but it sounds better than my old nokias that did and gets better battery life to boot. If you're not happy take it back.

Everyone say they have poor call quality.. But none of you give any details as to which Rom on Aria you are using..
Quality & Volume are awesome with one latest Rom's..
The only time I have noticed poor call quality is when I was using the stock rom. It was more noticeable when on a Bluetooth headset when I had the phone below the waist. I would head crackling on my Bluetooth when it was to thexpoint that if I moved the phone to chest level it would go away.
Since upgrading to cm 006 then to cm 008 I haven't had a problem. In fact I can now leave the phone in the other room while I'm on my Bluetooth without any problems.
Hope this helps.

Hi guys,
I recently purchased two G2's over the weekend for my wife and I and overall I am pretty impressed with it. We both unfortunately got loose hinges with ours that we may worry about getting fixed later but our big concerns are sound.
I used my speakerphone a lot and while I read the sound was tinny I was rather shocked once I used it. Not only is it tinny but the sound cuts in and out with the volume pegged. My CDMA Hero sounded much better and achieved a higher output.
Also the headphone jack seems overly bass filled and muffled. I used my pandora a lot played through my car stereo and this newer uber phone sounds worse than my hero. Have any of you experienced similar things? Are these problems a firmware update can fix or is it hardware related?
We love the G2 but the audio quality might be a deal breaker. Have 12 days to decide.

EDIT: I guess I jumped the gun, should've guessed that there was more coming... my bad.
Revised! Reviews showed the same experience with the speakerphone; unfortunately it's something we'll all have to deal with. There might be apps made to adjust sound ouput, but I believe it's mainly the hardware.
As for the headphone jack, I can't speak from any personal experience, but my audiophile of a friend simply uses a more powerful music app to adjust the sound to very fine details. I can't recall the app, but give that a shot.

I agree with you on the speakerphone, but I was expecting this from experience with my N1.
As for the audio quality, I've found it to be much much better than my N1 as it was rather lacking in the bass department on the freq response graph and in the upper ends, though my headphones naturally make it flat. The G2 sounds much closer to a flat EQ, but it could be me and my headphones again.
Also, I believe the music app in question is MixZing as it is the only one out there with an EQ built in.
the speakerphone does leave something to be desired but it seems like after a week or so, it breaks into a more acceptable quality (not great but not terrible or a dealbreaker). As for the headphone jack, I've only used it with my grado sr80i so it sounds amazing as always =)
I read a few complaints about the speakers before I even recieved the phone. When I tried it out once I got it, I can't really hear a difference between the G2's speakerphone and the Slides. They both sound similar to me. I don't really have any complaints. Maybe I'm just getting old...
I had a BB9700 and all I have to say is that HTC speakerphones are HORRIBLE!
I love my new G2 but the speakers are probably one of the biggest turnoffs
I think I'm going to go back to my Samsung vibrant.
that phone was great.
I will miss the keyboard though
I'm not really one to use the speaker, but I did have some times having it on while listening to Pandora. I can't compare the quality to anything else, but I'm having no issues with it.
I just need another pair of Bose in-ear headphones and I'll be set! Last one, the wires toward the jack got loose and the sound is abysmal. Two years of service though.

I love this phone but omg, the speaker does S U C K ! My tp2 had a rockin speaker. I was playing with it earlier and man the sound it put out while playing music. Wish phone makers would stay with what's good. Put that speaker hardware in here? That'll be somethin.

The speaker on the G2 is awful, might be a dealbreaker. I'm tempted to switch to the Vibrant as well. My husband has the Vibrant and his video and speaker playback is outstanding, makes my G2 speakers sound like a screech box
I gotta say I was disappointed with my speakers on the G1... I'm a little disappionted with the speakers on this phone too.
I'll have to say that I like the G2 sound quality allot better than the G1 for sure. I am hearing impaired (but not completely deaf). The default ringer is waay louder and I am impressed that I can hear my phone further than I could with the G1! Before, people would tell me my phone is ringing when when i don't feel the vibrations for some reason.
As for the phone jack. It did make me smile when using it with my FM modulator in my car. My car stock system isn't that great to begin with but at near max volume, my speakers sounded distorted with the G1 (thought it was the FM transition). But with the G2, I noticed that it seems to 'bump' allot better at near high volume.. it seems to rock for me
Now I am not saying that the G2 is all that as for sounds, just that it is noticeably better than the G1 as according to my ears. I have not tried it as a speaker phone but most phones seem to suck at that to me anyhow.
Hi friends. I noticed something today. I record a video in a silent room, just me and my wife. After recording I started to watch and noticed that there is no sound until one of us speaks. There is a sound cut in the video. No background sounds until someone speaks and when someone speaks I can hear all the voices. What can cause this problem? I tried it with lenovo super camera app, stock camera app and moded camera app and all of them has the problem. I tried it with my friends G2 and the result is same. No sound until someone speaks. BUt it is normal when the tv was open or there are much peaople talking in the place. Anyone noticed something like that?
It sounds like noise suppression is working to me.. compared to my One, I think it's great. I have 2 toddlers and this phone does a great job at blocking background noise during conversation.

same problem here with the sound on video recorded.Mybe someone will find a solution for this issue.
yes I too have same problem. The sound keeps cutting in and out whenever there is no talking or loud noises going on. The mic picks up sounds great, especially voices. But ambient sounds are very hard to hear with all the sound cut outs and background noises. Maybe just some faulty units, or something that needs to be addressed in a future update just like on the Moto x.
Nexus 5 has same issues, read a long thread about it this morning. I have the same problem when recording audio, almost like an underwater sounding effect. I think it has to do with the LG noise cancellation algorithm. Not sure of a fix, only thing I don't like about the G2 so far. On the Nexus 5 some folks adjusted the build.prop to turn off noise cancellation if they were rooted and it seemed to work. Not sure how to do that though.

I just bought my LG G2 for two weeks. It s a really amazing android phone and I love it. But yesterday when I started it up in the early morning and noticed the micro sound from G2. This sound like the sound from a hard disk when it run, u must listen carefully to realize it. Then I pay attention at it and actually hear this sound from my G2 when run some heavy apps or games.
Is my G2 OK? Have anyone else heard this sound?
I've never heard a sound. Sounds like a short with the speaker or microphone. There are no moving parts outside of the camera. How loud is it?
I noticed my. NEXUS 7 2013 makes a sound when I mute the audio while playing a video. Its a slight frequency pitch but stops even with volume set to 1. It starts and stops at random.

Not sure what you describe is the same.
I have static noise - buzzing in the earpiece. Even when screen off....annoying in calls...
In my case it's an old known bug of LG devices(someone said all devices to have this to some extent, however LG's is the only one I can hear it from). I reported it few times... It's very well documented in the Nexus 4...
At LG G2 the users do not like to be told that their precious is bugged...
Some do not hear it or do not want to hear it.
The buzzing, static etc. You can hear it even when the screen is off...
Supposed to be shielding issue?
Maybe yours could be the same
Can you check with screen of if you can hear some buzzing?

No, not sounds are made from speaker or microphone. It seem be made from one of hardwares of G2. I don't know exactly. This sound like sound is made from hard disk of PC when it runs.
Similar here...
I have this sound on headphones in the right channel.
It's very low and as quachhanthanh says it's like a hard drive starting up but much lower with similarities how radio frequencies disturb speakers.
It increases a little when I touch the screen but is constant like a very low beat when not using the screen.
I will try this later on CM latest stable.
Hi guys,
I made a post about this in Q&A but no results at all. I'm coming from the N5, while I'm driving I tend to put the phone on speaker ( can't drive and talk overhere ), I had no issue with the N5 people could hear me, the quality was great. Unfortunately, with this device the quality is quiet awful, no one can hear me when I'm driving really. Is there a way to improve this?
Considered using Bluetooth? Speakers are not the strongest point of Samsung phones so not sure you can hear well inside a driving car.

Not too much into bluetooth, I'll get my headphone worst case. It's not only inside the car, while at home, it's not that great neither.

Is the S5's speaker worse than the S4's? I tend to use the speakerphone quite a bit and the S4 is adequate at best.

Never used the S5, if the S4 speaker is similar to the Nexus 5 then s4 speaker are better than the S5.
i will agree with this. Because I actually had the HTC One and found out that even that phone has a good speakerphone than S5. Audio quality is another fringe area that can really improve the way you use your phone in ways you don't think about. I often watch video, play music, and Skype on my smartphones, without using headphones. I sometimes use the speakerphone as well. While there's nothing wrong with the Samsung Galaxy S4's speakers, which I had, they don't have the same loud, rich audio impact as the HTC One's excellent set.
I find that my s3 had a better speaker sound quality than the s5
