Hi,
I have a AT&T Fuze and I'm not happy with the sound quality so I usually use a BB Bold. I find the Fuze ear piece to have low volume and a tinny sound and the mic picks up too much background noise. I tried different audiopara files and have something useful but not what I would call good or near what I get with the Bold.
How is the call quality with the TP2 (not speaker phone, just handset)? Is the screen as nice as the Fuze when outside? I found the Tilt screen to be poor outside. I wasn't planning to upgrade until WM 7 but I installed 6.5 and it seems to work well on the Fuze.
Thanks.
Can't compare to the Fuze as I never had it but the normal call quality is just great. I love talking on the actual phone to the point where I prefer not to use my BT headphones for actual calls (I now use it primarily for music). As for the mic picking up noise... remember there are three noise cancellation settings for normal calls (not speakerphone): off, always on, and "automatic" (it samples the noise level at the beginning of the call and applies a constant noise reduction based on that sample throughout the call regardless of whether the noise level decreases or increases).
The call quality on the TP2 is the best I've ever heard on a mobile - this is particularly important for me, as I'm partially deaf and need phones to be clear and loud.
Thanks. What about the screen outside? The Fuze is good but the Tilt was horrible.
After deciding I'm not buying another without a 3.5mm jack and WM7, I'll probably be at AT&T Sunday morning

Ok, so I've searched the forum about the speaker quality on the TP2. After playing around with my TP2, I can say that I am impressed with the volume/quality when comparing it to my Kaiser. BUT, the design is a bit flawed when using the phone tilted for watching videos, as mentioned in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520823
This makes me wonder if there could be a potential hack for the in-call ear speaker, because it's actually very good in quality - much better than the Kaiser. I'm wondering if it can be hacked to be used at a boosted volume when playing back media, thus utilising all 3 speakers on the phone and giving an all-angle audio extravaganza! My old C550 shared the ear speaker as the external speaker, so I'm wondering if something can be done with the TP2 ear speaker to a similar effect.
Any opinions?
What about SRS WOW?
Have you tested¿

I was pretty pissed that my Acer Aspire One's speaker was on the bottom. It's completely useless. In that instance though, there was plenty of room for speakers in the screen bezel where they would have been usable. For the TP2, there aren't a lot of good places to put it. And since they wanted speakerphone access by flipping the phone over, that placement made sense for enterprise purposes.
I do hope your idea improves its media player creds, but I wonder if amped up audio from the front speaker won't end up sounding as flat as muffled sound from the larger speaker(s?) beneath.
WMExperts, CNET, BoyGenius say things like the call quality and speakerphone in the Tilt2 are excellent. WMExperts say best in the market.
But I read here in the forum of people experiencing muffled sound, low volume, etc.
How to sort this out? What is "reality?"
Obviously this is a feature I am very concerned about before buying the Tilt2. I have relied on Nokia (although they get knocked -- rightfully -- for their OS) for reliable and clear call quality and speakerphone (people don't even notice that you are using a speakerphone).
I think one main factor is network conditions. Under excellent network conditions, you will be able to take advantage of the awesome sound quality that this phone has to offer. The phone volume itself is a bit soft. That doesn't mean sound quality sucks, that means volume sucks.
The speakerphone is a dream though. Dual mics and speakers provide excellent sound quality when using the speakerphone, and the dual mics provide some pretty good noise cancelling.
So while the phone is certainly capable of excellent sound quality, its all up to network quality as well. Personally I think the Tilt2 has more than enough volume for me (way better than the Fuze), and that sound quality has been very good. I especially love using the speakerphone on this thing. Its crystal clear and I love it.

I am inclined to agree with you. I have just moved over to the T-Mobile version after almost 4 years on a Wizzard and the call quality sucks in comparison. It sounds really flat. I cant understand why it gets good reviews. No way this is ntwork affected. I have 5 bars of 3G where I am.

T-Mobile duffed the output, you can find that anywhere in the forums.. AFAIK it does not affect any other model except the T-Mobile, and there is a file you can replace or install to restore it.
the hardware is definately the best of any phone. just try it out with another phone and youll see. for alot of people the low volume can be solved by hitting volume up, but it still can be a bit soft. the software hasnt really changed from phone to phone and being windows mobile, its easy to get the phone louder through software. i would recommend looking at tweaked audiopara3 files.
Since Desire doesn't have the noise canceling function of N1, how's the call quality of Desire compared to N1? Is there alot of difference?
it should be the same with the rest of HTC devices .... except Nexus One

I may b the only 1 who think so but I didn't notice any big difference between N1 & my HD2 & now between N1 & Desire...

People can hear me fine, that's all I care about. Not like Noise cancellation was going to effect anything on my end.
This is making me sound like a noob. But I thought the noise canceling was more meant for speakerphone capability?
There are 2 mics on my Touch Pro2 for noise canceling but that only kicks in when in speakerphone mode. Other times, only 1 of the mic is active.
Having just changed from a Compact IV/Touch Diamond I think the call quality is better, much clearer audio - at my end anyway!

Noise cancellation are for the other end users, ... for example if you are in a crowded place, this feature will make your voice clear to the other end.
even in Touch Pro2, ... when you put it in speaker phone there is a possibly that alot of noise will come, hence the importance of the noise cancellation, .. it will try to ignore the crowd and concentrate on delivering your voice only!
so, it is really meant for the other guy/girl to hear you clearer at the end of the line, ... not you, unless if you wanna hear your voice through your phone, .. which doesnt make sense, Lol
must say im well impressed with the call quality of my desire. calls sound crisp and plenty loud cant believe how good it is ! mind you my previous phone was a xperia x1 which sucked balls for call quality the desire is in a different league altogether !
It is better than my HTC HD2 and much better than my previous iphone in my opinion
hello freinds,
i've been reading a lot about the desire and i decided to buy one.
one thing that i can't find an answer to , is how about the call quality and the earpiece volume.
i work in the most noisy place the you can imagine, and now i own pro2 and it's really really great.
so comparing to pro2 , how's the earpiece volume??
and how's the sound quality in general
please advice
thanks a lot
i didnt have a Pro 2,
But in Comparison to my N97, the Call Quality seems to drop a little from my Nokia,
Nothing Major, But from the moment i put that phone down to picking this one up i noticed,
now when i listen its crystal clear,
The sound that comes from the speakers is good, but its too loud for the speakers and you get that horrible noise when you have the phone on Full Volume,
Leave it down by one and your OK,
Mic i find was good my GF said she could hear me very clear,
All in All Very good Hope it helps a little
Hey!
I was previously interested in the Sony Z2 but returned it because of issues with call quality, mainly the speaker being sh*t. I reckon the new Z3 will be of similar style. Although probably one of the best phones in the market, I can't live with the waterproofing making speakers worse.
The idea of a stylus and sketching on a phone intrigues me since I get so many ideas where ever and have little ways to scribble them down. Therefore I'm really considering getting a Note 4 even though I realize the real usage may be nonexistent in reality. Now, my question is, how is the speaker on the Note 4? I don't necessarily need stereo speakers, as the value of stereo on a smartphone is questionable but I do prefer decent sound quality. I talk A LOT on speakerphone and I want it to be crisp and clear. Also, how are youtube videos on the speaker?
PS. I'm coming from a SGS3 and want better battery life and bugless UI.
Anyone have a say on the speakerphone quality? And the onboard speaker in general.
I find the sound from the speaker load enough but a bit tinny. Speaker phone is good and YouTube videos are acceptable however I prefer using ear buds.
Ditto on what tbparkey said.
