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 Nokia 8'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.

I can agree here.. Very good quality

audio is good but I am not sure about the reception. I had an incoming call from a landline number and every time the person on the other end was quite the audio was like on mute, no background noises no static nothing. When the person starts to talk everything back to normal. Not sure why it happened but happened only once out of 3 calls from the same number,

has anyone noticed that when talking over 4G there's a HD icon on the phone app? When this appears the call is of higher quality

Same here. When phone is in horizontal position, i.e. on table, speaker is unusable, other side can't understand me. Probably back mic gets muted and confuses software with audio processing. Stock headphones are also unusable for calls. In normal mode calls are pretty decent. I'm on TA-1012.
Edit: A few words

Very good audio!

It has a really good microphone but if you want to unleash the real quality then I recommend tuning onto VoLTE and VoWifi. If your wireless network is decent you'll expirience far better calls quality.

People on the other side keep complaining about audio cutting out fom time to time. Any way to fix this?

Yepp, when You say nothing in call there is a audio cut off.
General Audio processing in voice notes , calls , video recording is not so good as in my xperia z5 compact.
The sony produces much better audio

When VoLTE on both call members used, quality is best what I listened. Very clear sound.

poor wifi

The best part of half of the people I speak with regularly have commented about voice quality since I switched from an LG G4, even though they didn't know I'd changed 'phones. Most asked if I'd changed mobile carriers, one saying they thought I was in a studio because they couldn't hear the usual whir of server fans in the background. Certainly can't complain about the voice quality (and noise suppression)!

On 3G and 4G quality is amazing.
Specially the person on the other side of the line has no trouble at all hearing me even though I'm in a noisy and windy place.

so far so good

hurts ears at full volume! Brilliant reception too.!

great

No, Iam from Europe O2(Czech republic). VoLTE is default on in Settings/wireless and network/Mobile network/VoLTE. This setting must be supported by operator. Some operators have VoWifi too.

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

The call quality on the oneplus 7 pro has been very good and actually does better at holding a signal in weak areas than my HTC U11 did.

The call quality is grate but there is more crackling in called when calling someone on att from the TMobile usage oneplus 7 pro. Could be that the att phone has a week signal. Just wish battery was better other then that the phone on TMobile is wonderful

Call ne

I also notice some cracking in the sound while having a regular call. That cracking was not there with my OnePlus 2, same carrier and SIM card.

Call quality is fantastic.
When switching from Bluetooth to phone, a weird little delay that I didn't have on the 5t.

I'm a bit confused by the call quality. I'm calling OnePlus users, Pocophone users, Huawei and Xiaomi Mi 9 users.
When calling them while they drive and have it connected to the car, everything is okay. They are all loud and clear.
When calling "normal", I can easily hear the Pocophone user as well as the Huawei user. If there's a call by a Oneplus 6, it's almost too quiet. Xiaomi Mi 9 is almost silent, it's a pain to understand the caller even with maximum volume.
The Xiaomi users are reporting a bit of crackling sound from time to time when I'm speaking, for the rest it's a very great quality.

When I have low signal (around -105db), I still find that the phone connects and the conversation isn't dropped, chopped, or grainy. Bluetooth calling doesn't have much of a delay either from car or headset, so overall pretty pleased.

The earpiece volume seems very low on mine even though turned up fully

I can hear people very well, and people on the other end can hear me extremely well. Girlfriend says she has to turn down the volume a couple notches specifically when I call her with this phone because my voice comes through so loud and clear.

sometimes when I'm trying to do a phone call , they can hear my voice but I can't hear them, it also happens that the tune sound simply doesn't sound, it seems like the phone is mute... so I have to hang down the call and repeat, and then it works sometimes I had to restart the OnePlus 7 pro... it seems like being a software issue and I hope somebody can fix this soon because it is very annoying

I absolutely love the call quality so far! Just have no data or text with straight talk

What's speaker phone quality like, I heard its not that good, in relation to the microphone.

Is it loud and clear? I read a few pages on the oneplus community forums whereby they said people couldn't hear them when they made a phone call using the speakerphone.

Yes

I can hear people crystal clear and i've been told that they can hear me pretty well but sometimes muffled when outside. I have xperience issues with the call volume when using bluetooth headphones, max volume doesn't seem to be very high but i will take clear call quality over i higher volume.

Excellent on bliss

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
