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 Samsung Galaxy Note 7'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.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
If your network isn't garbage then it'll be fine just like every other phone, speaker phone tho not amazing with it's weak speakers
I found the call quality to be a step up from my note 5 and a my wife's iPhone. Switched to ATT from Verizon so that could be some of it as well.
I think call quality is one area where I am completely satisfied with this device. I had a hard time with my Nexus 6P, I had to hold the hand like a cup at the bottom for the other party to hear. Looks like this device works like a charm in this department.

Had same issue with the 6p. Still trying to decide what device to keep but I have had numerous people say the call quality is better.

Going from the Note 5 to the Note 7. Rarely had call quality issues on the Note 5, chronic call quality issues with the Note 7.
Using AT&T, I have incredible, crystal clear call quality. The only reason I can think people have rated this phone as having "disappointing sound during calls" is they have a bad service provider, or a bad signal.

Gotta disagree about the phone having weak speakers. They sound phenomenal to me. Very loud and clear. Now, that's not to say that there aren't phones with louder or better speakers, but that's not the point. I wouldn't consider it's speakers "weak" at all. They're certainly on par.
(Sorry for the double post. Would merge if possible.)

Just out of curiosity, did you switch service, or are you using the same phone service provider?

Same provider. I've got two of them doing the same thing. Turned off HD calling to see if there is an improvement.

That's odd. Are you using a case/skin for your phone? I've heard of certain cases interfering with signal strength.
I come from a note 4, that one had a very annoying flaw, at least with my carrier, the other person in the line always hearing echo, with this note 7 no echo, I am pleased with call quality
I will rate for a 9/10 for my call experience...didn't face any problem yet when calling someone

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.
It has a secondary mic so just wondering if thats only for recording video or if it is also used for noise cancellation
It is used for noise cancellation as well, much like the secondary mic on the nexus one.

Is there a way to confirm this? The getting started guide doesn't say that it can be used for noise cancellation during calls. But it doesn't say it can't do this either.

Sure. Make a couple of test calls in a noisy environment, then stuff a wad of chewing gum into the secondary mike and make more test calls. Ask the person at the other end if they can hear a difference.
Most basic Android phones have this feature and I have no reason to think the GNEX wouldn't.
It never seems to do much good so its no big deal to me.

Think about it...so much noise will seep in between your ear and the phone that it wouldn't make any difference.
Just get a nice pair of IEMs or a noise cancelling headset like the Audio Technica ATH-ANC7b (or their less expensive ANC products).

Lots of ANC headsets have the mic in an in-line power box on the cable. Bose come to mind for a start. So I don't see as it would be impossible to make the phone perform the ANC when using a standard headset.

Having the mic in an in-line box is very different from having the mic on the playback device. An in-line box is a small device that is most likely close to the earpieces and exposed to the same environment as the earpieces. The playback device is much larger, likely to be further away from the earpieces, and rarely exposed to the same environment, as they are more likely to be in pockets, purses, etc.

Well obviously it would have to not be in a pocket. Not that it really matters since it doesn't do it anyway.

When you are playing music, how often do you not have the phone in a pocket or purse or something like that? You will need an armband or belt holster. Having a feature that only works with certain kinds of holsters that most people don't have is a waste.

Wow. Totally different from my experience with GS2 and iPhone and BB.
I was standing right next to my neighbor's pressure cleaner as he was cleaning his roof the other day and my pops could not hear the engine at all while on the phone with me. I was amazed.
Maybe you are talking about older phones?

So does the phone have dedicated mic for Noise cancellation or not? in the top back of the phone there a tiny hole is this the second mic for noise cancellation?
, currently i have the phone but there is no option mentioning noise cancellation anywhere

Yes, it does. I've tested mine sitting next to my teams flight simulator which derives it's computing power from about 24 6foot double sided racks of servers...so it sounds like a hurricane of fans in that room and I've made calls there and people can't hear anything in the background just silence. When I had my 3gs iphone everyone said they couldn't hear anything but fans when i called them.
I don't know. I was just testing the Galaxy Nexus in a Verizon store and I was disappointed by the noise cancellation (compared to my Nexus One). I tested the two phones in the store with a lot of people talking and making noise in the background, by leaving myself voicemail messages.
With the Galaxy Nexus it was silent when I wasn't talking, but when I was talking you could hear the chatter of people in the background. This to me is typical of older phones that did not have a secondary mic to filter out background noise. Instead they just turned the mic off to cancel background noise when you weren't talking.
With the Nexus One, you couldn't hear any background noise at all, whether I was talking or not. The secondary mic lets the noise cancellation chip tell what's your voice and what's background noise and filter out the background, even when you are talking. This has been my consistent experience with the Nexus One and people always comment on how good it is.
I tested two different Galaxy Nexus phones in the Verizon store with the same results (the floor model and a handset belonging to one of the representatives in the store). It did not compare to the quality of the Nexus One. Also the Motorola Razr was much better too (Motorola has always put an emphasis on in-call audio quality that other manufacturer's ignore).
Really, given the results I got, the Galaxy Nexus to me seemed like it did not have proper noise cancellation at all.
It looks like the Galaxy Nexus does not have the Audience chip that's found in the Nexus One, which does the noise cancellation processing:
www.audience.com/products/overview.php
It's strange, because the Audience chip is in many of Samsung's Galaxy S and SII devices. Perhaps the Galaxy Nexus is using some inferior noise cancellation technology. I don't know. But, sadly, in my tests it didn't compare to the Nexus One.
[Edit: This review at PhoneArena claims they experienced the noise cancellation working on an HSPA+ version: www.phonearena.com/reviews/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Review_id2915/page/4. I suppose it's possible that Verizon left the feature out? Or perhaps the store I was in was not loud enough to trigger the noise cancellation, since they describe the noise cancellation as "kicking in" in noisy environments. My impression on the Nexus One is that it is always operating and does not "kick in" at certain points. In any case, the experience on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is still that I heard the background chatter of other people cutting in and out, as the microphone seemed to switch on and off depending on whether I was talking, which created an annoying effect, not experienced on the Nexus One.]
i got same problem too,try to call to GS2 and defy in the same area, G nexus noise cancellation very poor. hope they will release some kind of patch to fix it
On my Droid X the noise cancellation mic works great, *especially* for concerts, but you have to change the setting on the camera to "Concert." I see no setting in the GN's video camera options so if it does have noise cancellation it's probably not that great.
I wonder if there is an aftermarket camera that will utilize it a bit better.
Whoa, that's soo cool. How did I just discover this?
I bought the phone recently and I love it. But I have 1 very huge issue.
I can't undstand what people are saying sometimes. Quality on the S4 were crystal CLEAR, whether I have it in speaker mode or in normal mode, sometimes I can't make out what people are saying. It's like this phone has some really bad speaker quality.

Mine is as good on any other phone that I have had. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised with downward shooting sound compared to back firing. Perhaps you have a defective device.....mine is fine.

Maybe it was just me, phone is huge, positioning of the ear to speaker might of been it. Sound quality isn't super great but not as bad as I originally thought. Thanks for the reply. I don't think it's a defect, hope not lol bought this phone cash! 550

The call Quality is excellent. I'm coming from a background of a Samsung Galaxy S4 and Sony Xperia Z3 an Alcatel Idol One Touch 3 and a number of other phones. The speaker phone quality is awesome and the earpiece quality is very good as well and no one has to ever say they cannot hear me. I'm very pleased with my purchase beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Fairly good and reliable signal
I know it's not unique to the G5 but the HD voice calls on Verizon are pretty good. I just wish it wasn't solely a Verizon thing.

it isn't.
On the off-brand T-Mobile aka MetroPCS with the EU H850...best speeds I've had on a phone but I was with Sprint for so long that barely counts...
European H850 here and it has hd voice too... sounds pretty good
Poor but I think its a defective device. I have a G4 on the same network and it is flawless.
The best I've experienced as you'd expect, it's difficult to make. Judgement though given I switched networks with my latest contract. There are probably too many variables to give a concrete answer but calls are always crisp with 2+ signal. 4.5/5 for me.
Id give it a 4/5. Using HD voice apps to get its full potential, it is crystal clear
Nice call quality. But, when it's really really windy (and only then), my moto x force does the noise filtering job much much better tough.

I too found call quality lacking.

Phone Quality is good, but when it comes to Whatsapp Calls or Skype its pretty bad compared to my really old iPhone 5s, people do complain a lot and ask me to use a headset cause if put on Speaker they cant hear me very well.
Call quality is decent imo, microphone's sensitivity could be a bit better. Yesterday while driving I received a call so I had to use loud speaker mode. The phone was lying on the passenger's seat and the person I talked with could hardly hear me
Call quality issue was fixed for me on 4.0.2!!! now is perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!
****** (five stars now) .. but changing vote not allowed .. REALY !?!
Sounds like crap...:crying:
Both myself and my friend have the 3T, we both complain about the quality and we both cant hear each other.
It's very decent IMO.
OnePlus 3T - OxyOS 4.0.2 (Nougat)
Running two SIMS - AT&T and T-Mobile in Dallas. Call quality is really inconsistent. I get lots of people complaining about me breaking up. Never had this problem with my LG G4 on either network. Would love OnePlus to enhance their radio or at least allow some tuning of the radio.
So far, "thumbs down" on the call quality.
I have been using iPhones for years before switching to the OP3T now. Although I'm happy with the decision overall, call quality definitely is a step down from the iPhone, particularly in terms of clarity.
Not too bad though, so it's still ok.

Also have a lot of trouble with Whatsapp and Skype calls both on Oneplus 3 & 3T.... I beg for the developers to fix this, i suppose it is only due to OS optimization of these apps or just poor microphone settings
Yep, same here unfortunately. I have serious issues when calling via hangout. My girlfriend complains about not hearing me as well as about seeing bad video quality. Never ever had such problems with my nexus 6p or my iPhone 6s plus...
Actually this is kind of frustrating...
