Call quality for me so far has been poor can hardly hear the other person.....speaker phone and extra loud enabled and I still have to put the speaker in my war

Cristal clear calls, at least in my home city, I had a note 4 910c, it had a problem, the person calling me always complained about hearing echoes, no matter from where I were calling, really annoying, but no problem with my note 8

no problem with quality using advanced wificalling

Quality call here in Brazil is very good. Especially when in VoLTE

No issues with call quality here either (in Canada).

Call quality has been excellent. No complaints from me or the person on the other side.

Pretty **** on T Mobile hd calling. Scratchy and awful.

perfect on wifi lte calling, otherwise becomes less clear or loud. too bad samsung can't improve on that.

Since VoLTE became available, this type of calls sometimes do not work fine, the other side sometimes can not hear me, so, I ended switching to std calls, I think it might be a carrier glitch

Signal reception is lousy compared to previous Sony and Apple phones. Same network. Loads of dropped calls.

Signal is great here on my N950F and never dropped a call once. Strange.

I've had my Note 8 for about a week. In comparison to my last three phones (Note 3, ZTE Axon 7 & Essential Ph-1), people on voice calls tell me that I am more clear. They ask what I am saying far less often. Using sm-n950f (Exynos) on ATT in USA.

I've had consistent calling issues since I've gotten the phone (4 months ago). During normal phone calls, after several minutes of talking, the caller can no longer hear me speak. The call will continue, but no amount of toggling mute, speaker, or hold can bring back the audio and allow the caller to hear me. I can hear them continue talking, but I cannot respond. At this point, I usually try to end the call so I can call back, but the phone is usually stuck in the call and takes up to a minute to disconnect. When placing the call again, it works fine to begin with and eventually it cuts out again. Sometimes it cuts out after a couple minutes into the call, sometimes it will take 20-30 minutes.
I've resorted to using Google Duo as a backup (works great), but that gets irritating to make people use a different app to call me.
Background info: I am using Cricket wireless in the USA, the sim is several years old and I have not ruled out it being a Cricket problem, though none of my family on the same plan (all running iPhone) has this issue. Running latest stock Sony firmware available for Central Europe region.
Any advice to fix my issue would be appreciated.

Of all the phones I've had, I think the XZ1 Compact most stable and best sound quality one I have (one of the others I have is a Note 8 which also is good, but both sound quality and stability (has some sound dropouts from time to time) is inferior to the Sony. Maybe related to that the Note 8 is rooted and running another ROM while the XZ1C still runs stock). Also, Sony actually has a decent volume now compared to earlier phones.

I think the call quality is okey, i wasn't blown out with it. I think my HTC U11+ is louder though not by much. I don't know why the manufacturers put a cap on the volume strength when clearly you can go beyond and still it will be safe. Leave it to the consumer to decide.

No VOLTE
So I've spoken with tech support with both Asus, T-Mobile, over the phone and in store. The end result was that the Asus ROG phone does have the capability to support VOLTE calls, but the software is not enabled, nor able to be enabled to make it work. So it's not a T-Mobile or AT&T issue, it's an Asus issue. Worse still Asus knows its an issue and has no plans to release an update to get it working. So calls basically sound like they did back in the late 90's which isn't good for those of you who weren't born yet. Any help on this issue from the Dev's here would be a huge help. I'm going to try rooting the phone and see if that will allow me to force the option to be allowed to turn on in the secret settings menu after punching in the code on the dialer. Currently if the code is punched in on the dialer the option to turn on VOLTE is there but isn't able to be enabled. Hoping rooting fixes this. If not the phone is going back. It is a phone after all.

call quality is bad

Hello, i have really big problems with this phone when is about talking to it, i was write on Asus forum details about this issue, i'm on the 3rd replaced rog phone in 5 days, all of them have the same problem: quality is horrible, the person i talk with barely can hear me, then is hearing some weird noises and total silence. This is happening with each call, random times, can happen from start of conversation or seconds later or minutes later.
Hope it's ok if i drop the link here:
asus.com/zentalk/thread-246208-1-1.html[/url]
If anyone had any similar issues please let me know. I talked with someone from local Asus and they are aware of this problem, but the problem is that i can't get a replacement everyday until i'm lucky enough to get a functional phone, wasting my time on my own money after paid $900+ for this phone... i like it how it feels in hand & it's specs but can't use it as a phone atm to talk at it.
PS: sorry for my typo & eng skills

I believe this is a software issue and not hardware. I hope they fix in next update.

I read on ThreeUK's site the below as much as I want this phone I may hold off as the call needs some quaility.
4G Super-Voice doesn't work on other non-Three devices yet however, even if the manufacturer has stated that it's VoLTE compatible. We're working on this, so be sure to check back for updates.

I am having similar issues. It takes 10-15 attempts for me to dial out (if I ever do), and if it connects the person either cannot hear me at all, barely hear me, or I cut in and out. I've RMAd it twice now and they are unable to recreate the issue. There was some thought around a theory that the noise canceling mics might be not working properly, but I'll need to do more testing. The fact that you (and a couple other people I've seen around the net) have had the same issue with MULTIPLE phones makes me think there is a software and/or hardware defect. At this point I am leaning towards just getting a different phone.

They are very aware of this, i changed 4 phones in 2 weeks and each one of them does the same thing. I decided to keep the 4th one with hope that they will fix this asap, but problem still persist.
Check my thread on the ASUS forum.

My personal experience with this phone has been very good. Call quality is excellent, although I have only tested regular voice calls and whatsapp calls. On either one, the reception has been flawless, even on say, hard to reach locations. I have inevitably compared the call reception with my Nokia 8 and they are both incredibly good. Nokia has always been superior on call reception and call quality, and the ROG really makes up for it. No stuttering, no call drops, really good.

I concur.

I just spoke to my brother driving through the snow storm in north dakota on his way home, call quality was solid. Heard him loud and clear, no background noise, never had to say "what?" , and thats a long distance call where he's in white out conditions. (plus I'm with bell and he's on rogers but probably connected to a US carrier ATM)
ROG phone has never dropped a call or had any audio connection issues so far. I definitely get VoLTE on certain calls, but not many. I think it depends on carrier, the actual phone that you are calling, and even whether they are on another network or not. at least for my canadian carrier.
overall, I'd say definitely solid and reliable in my own 3+ months with this phone.

I'm experiencing the same problem. The microphone gets "muted" in the beginning of every call. After about 5-7 seconds of talking, it gets activated and the other person can finally hear me. It's extremely frustrating.
Apart from that, the call quality and reception is excellent.

In my case call quality is crap. But it is me who can not hear properly. It is due to lack of VoLTE I think. 2 people connected via 3G and both on BT headset = call quality disaster. Pixel 3XL on volte no problem at all

I made 3 calls yesterday and receiver kept asking "where are you now, signal is bad". I do think that noise cancelling maybe does too good, it cancelled my voice also

ok, no one cares. you clearly don't own the phone in the first place and you're just spamming the threads with non sense. I'm looking to buy the phone and looking for a legit answer from a legit owner. Post proof that you own the phone or stop spamming negatives all over

Poor

Medium. Not bad, but not good either. Let's say 5 out of 10.

Surprisingly good enough.

Great. More than expected. No complaints from anyone till now and calls are crisp for me as earpiece isnof high quality.

It is fine. What service you use also matters. Like voip vs using signals from cell tower. Voip is going to be better. Same goes for whatsapp.

Calling fails......
This is the worst thing that is happening in samsung phone . when you call someone it takes about 10sec to take you to the calling screen and after that it sometimes takes 10 more sec to ring. This thing bugs me the whole time. I give 1 out of 10 rating for this call quality. If you have read the above replies , then let me clearly say that iam not the owner of samsung but i request him to make the quality better. If anyone face this problem please reply so that the company makes quick actions against this problem.

Is there any roms that have video calling added? Thanks in advance

I had low quality of call, poor and crispy.
Do you have any solution?
the phone never beat or break its on perfect conditions!
help me please

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
