Yea, it was weird, when I called my brother from my phone (He has a T-Mo cell phone) his voice was freakin loud and clear! But then when I called our house phone, I couldn't hear a freakin thing. Idk what T-Mobile did to this phone, but they really messed it up. And they messed up my stylus when removing my battery case. T-Mo doesn't give a sh*t about WinMo anymore (not like they ever did).
But otherwise, the phone is a good upgrade from my T-Mo Wing.
And hello everyone! I'm gonna be helping out the community, just like I did with the T-Mobile Wing. You can see what I did for them here: http://thewingster.com/
yeah in call volume sounds very muffled and low compared to the wing...
Same thing. Neither .cab or AudioPara file helps.

So, I've been searching and searching, and only found a raphael tweak that wouldn't work. Anyone found that cab?
My in call volume is fine. I am assuming everyone knows you can press the volume up button while on a call and it increases the volume.
Ace nice to see you you have a TP2...can't wait for you to start cooking.

Good to see you made the switch too. I was into the wing/herald forum as well. Can't wait to start modding.
I agree.... The in call valume is TOO LOW!!
I keep pressing phone against my ear. OR I have to switch to Speaker everytime I want to talk to someone. Please HELP!!!
Ok so with all you guys reporting problems and I am not I thought maybe I have been calling t mobile numbers as I can not remember who all is or is not on tmo. So I just called 5 different people who either are on Sprint, Verizon or land lines and my volume is very loud. In fact I could hear the other person without having to have the phone next to my ear. Not exactly sure why you all are having problems.
My touch pro 2 its good i can hear well the outside speaker sound clear and nice its not too loud like other phones i had but the quality its great doesnt sound like some cheap loud phone speakers

No, it's known that the volume sucks. Maybe you have a non-T-Mobile version, but we know it's terrible. We know that. Plain and simple.

I'll wish you luck too.
I'm thinking maybe a custom ROM might change something, but idk.
Maybe I should use this against T-Mobile for a barganing price on the phone, since I'm a "loyal customer", lol.
I have a T-Mo version TP2 and my incall volume is great. There is only one person I can barely hear on the phone and that's one of my friends but I couldn't hear him with any phone I have so I'm pretty sure it's his phone not mine.

So I guess T-Mobile is distributing faulty phones to some of the users. Not sure how many got the crapy phones though, because only people with problems will complain.
Idk, it's just really weird how mine sounds fine with other T-Mobile customers. idk.

on mine, it's "muffled". Sounds like it either lacks highs... or it's too bassy.
I took my T-Mo TP2 to our local corp-owned store and had my wife call me from her cell; once on my TP2... then on the stores demo TP2 (with both volumes set to max). The audio qualities were identical to each other. So I know the problem is not with my specific unit.
Well to me yes the phone does have a little more bass incall then my last device but I can hear people just fine the volume is good to me. I actually like using the speakerphone more often then not anyways!
One thought though. You may try turning off noise reduction that may take care of that problem. Settings-->Phone-->Advanced tab
I can't say that will fix anything but it might!

Speaker phone doesn't have the best sound quality, but that's aside the point.
My earpeice speaker is literally silent when talking to certain numbers. It's clearly a difference. And no other phone sounds that quite when talking to certain numbers, so it's the Touch Pro 2.
Hello,
I have the EVO 3D currently and I have real issues with signal and call quality even though all my previous sprint phones have been HTC phones - going back to their first WM phone and none had this problem.
I would really like feedback from someone who had the EVO 3D and DID notice call quality issues and signal quality issues - is the Epic Touch 4G better?
Any other things you notice - battery life, download speeds?

Thanks - that is the sort of info I'm looking for. Not everyone said they had an issue with signal - I've had 3 3Ds - all have signal and voice quality issues - same with people I know but for some reason some don't believe their 3D phones have an issue so I'd like to get feedback from people who are familiar with the issue.
If I get a few more confirmations that it is better, I'll give it a try myself. I'm past my 30 days so I'll spend a wad o' cash to upgrade from the 3D but if it solves the crappy reception issues and call quality it will be worth the investment.

Thanks - this may sound strange but did you get people asking you to repeat yourself on the 3D? I'm not sure if the choppy call quality was due to the signal or something else but I had to repeat myself for callers on a regular basis. I didn't notice it much on my end but I got a lot of that when I switched to the 3D from my old phone.
some calls were fine.. but then other times it pissed me off cuz i really had to tune in my ears because i had a damm hard time understanding what the hell they were saying.. like the garbleling crap or what eva u call it.. and i travel on train bout an hour each way to work and always surfing on the phone and i notice that theres a few spots commuting that i have very weak signal to practically nothing whereas the Evo 4g neva had that issues at all in those spots... really unfortunate to have this when i was a loyal htc and evo fan

Thanks for the feedback - if you do get the Epic, please post your opinion on call/signal quality. I don't want to be a sissy boy but I also don't want to jump in like I did with the 3D and get burned on another bum phone. I was travelling when my 30 days was up and missed out on returning it even though I did trade it in twice thinking I might have gotten a defective one.
So far my first phone call was real Crisp sounding compared to my Dads EVO 4G. The Speakerphone sounds clear with no speaker abrasive vibrations coming from it like the EVO does. then I tried in my Car speakerphone freeway driving and that wasnt as good as other people claimed it to be for my experience. the Floor Ceiling Volume is not that much better than a Touch Pro 2. I could barely hear it in my 93 Civic from the tire noise (I guess my cars road feedback ground noise is LOUD). My dad said he could hear alot of background noise that was not so cool to hear to him. So with out the noise cancelling mic on this device that might not be up to par.
I dont have an EVO 3D or a Photon to compare it too, but I can tell you the Corporate Sprint Store Reps were all obligining to trade in their Photons and EVO 3D's for this BEAST. That really tells you something when the employees are changing their minds.

The only Phones I could ever claim that have the Best Speaker phones with highest volumes were the NEXTELS especially my i880. all my Motorola Nextels. Since I dont have a Photon to see if Motorola is still living to their name for having the best Speaker Phones of the whole Market. Even my friends Motorola Blackberry wannabe, I forget the model name of it? his had the same HIGH floor ceiling level volume CRISP sounding Speaker phone in his phone from 1. years ago.
I know why Motorola has the best speaker phones is they own the Patents on the speaker phones and the CDMA radio technology.
My call quality seems okay, but I'm having data issues that get on my nerves. My ET won't work in places where my EVO 4G did, and it
s annoying. I'm talking about standing in line at the grocery store, downloading an app taking forever with 1 bar. Not cool.
But voice though, voice sounds pretty good, no one has complained to me....yet.

THanks - I definitely want to hear both the positive and the negative. That sucks about the data which is important to me but I have to say the voice is by far the most important part of the phone. I had problems today with my data as well on my EVO 3D. Data was never impressive to me on the 3D but today is worse, I'm wondering if they are doing that evdo rev b upgrade on the towers in my area they mentioned.
I know people with the EVO 4G and they never had issues with voice quality that I know of so I'm really trying to focus on a comparison of voice between the 3D and the ET.
Anyone else jumped from the 3D to the ET4G because of signal/call quality? If so, is the ET4G any better?

When I played with the phone in a sprint store, the signal strength was roughly the same - it fluctuated between -83-91 dB on both phones side by side.
ET hold call and has better voice quality than EVO 3D but data speed where they have full bar, EVO 3D is way ahead ET, at Sprint store I ran couple speed tests, ET dl around 1.1 where EVO 3D round 1.8
Bottom line, if you like me, live where Sprint has sh!tty signal, ET is better..
I will test this tonight at work. In my office i got 3g with 1 to 2 bars with my og Evo. My 3d was 1 bar but would switch to 1x 95 percent of the time. Tonight i go back from my weekend and will give my results with the GS2. I love this phone either way though lol. Calls from home have been on par with the 3d. Maybe slightly better reception.

I'm having the same issue. I always have people saying they can barely hear me. Or not hear me at all. N its not like the phone is that far from my mouth to begin with. I always have.to have the phone damn near inside my mouth so they can hear me. It gets annoying especially when. I say a bunch of stuff just so I can hear complete silence on the other end n then I say hello? U heard what I said? Then they say what? I didn't hear anything. I'm like wow! Anything at all? They say nope. Then for the rest of the conversation I think people on the other side of the street can hear my conversations Cuz I have to yell.lol

I just got two:
Samsung Galaxy S II - Titanium from T-mobile (SGH-T989)
Not rooted, etc...But stock, as they come from t-mobile.
Voice quality is pretty bad on those two units. I can hear the other party muffed. I thought they are on speakerphone or talking thru a headset. Then the person with the other S G II noticed the same issue. I am having hard time understanding the other party in every call. I really got to focus on the conversation
Low voice volume when rocker is on max. It is hard to hear people in street noisy environment.
I talked to T-mo rep and they said that probably the phone is like this, and suggested to go to t-mo store and try one of their units. I wonder if it's the entire batch or the phones are like this.
I am coming from Google Nexus One. I wonder if Ice Cream will solve this issue or cyanogen mod 9. Is it hardware or software issue? Anyone else with similar thoughts?
Honestly, coming from a Sensation, this phone has incredible sound quality and speaker volume.
I think you should warranty both handsets.
I came from the MyTouch 4G... And the SGS2 has such better sound quality than I had with my MyTouch, and I liked the MyTouch... I think you got a bad phone... Two bad phones, if that's possible... Haha
I have the same problem. Sounds like crap. I returned my first one after about 2 days. Got another one and it worked fine for a month or so, yhen the same thing happened. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do now. I can't Stand it.

Thank you for your input.
I have no problem with my mic. The other party has no problem either, since I talk to different people, and I still have the same result. I have problem with the speaker, or the sound chip. The phones are brand new so no lint/dust in the speaker, or the mic.
I think Samsung does some changes with every different batch. This one is probably just like this. Nothing can be done. The series I am talking is: Samsung Galaxy S II – Titanium for T-Mobile, manufactured in December 2011 (no headphones in the box).
I am sure a lot of other SG2 s are fine.
The volume is on max, when I call someone (before the other party answers) ringing in the speaker is not clear or crisp, since the volume is on max.
I talked to Samsung today 12/21 and they have not hear of the issue. I talked to t-mobile on 12/20 and they have no solution either.
I guess it’s going on craigslist. Probably this will be normal voice quality for other users, and I will downgrade to Nexus S (hardware wise) until some other nexus appears at the end of the next year.

That's what it is. Talk on my phone you'll clearly see the difference. My old Sensation had horrible call quality until I ran the volume + app but then my battery started dying quickly
So I got rid of it & haven't looked back since.
This is someone coming from an unlocked iphone 4 in white (best call quality besides the Galaxy S2)
My GS2 is so clear and loud I never have to worry about hearing other callers no matter where I am. Take both phones back and have the reps at the store exchange them for you.
If they give you grief, have them make calls from your 2 handsets. Make sure they grab a demo phone to compare yours to
same
I have the same exact issue. Just got my phone a few days ago, enjoying Pandora in the car with the AUX input jack...
A call comes in, I answer, and I can't heard a damn thing! I make sure the In Call volume is set to max, still can barely hear the caller. I turn up my stereo...finish the call...then BAM! Pandora is blasting my ears off!
Incredibly frustrating!
sharko, wondering if you were able to get this resolved via exchange...?

I have (extensively) tested 2 different, brand new, Note II phones (Rogers and Bell) and when the volume is set louder than 1/2 on voice calls they both return somewhat distorted sound due to the speaker itself vibrating, crackling, especially at high pitch or low frequency sounds/voices. The closest comparison - although grossly exaggerated - would be much like a busted speaker (broken membrane), or more like the membrane touching the frame when the sound is too loud. It's not continuous but it rather comes and goes depending on the voice modulation and loudness, and although one may normally overlook it, it gets quite noticeable (and annoying) when paying attention.
On the other hand the very same phones perform exceptionally well when playing any other kinds of sounds (not calls) - YouTube music or voice, Music Player, Pod-casts, Radio, etc - they are all fine, more than fine actually.
Anybody else has noticed that?
P.S. Please don't make comments like "I don't use loudspeaker on calls", or anything alike, I didn't start this for statistical purposes, but rather to figure out whether I bumped into some isolated cases or it's a rather common issue on our Note 2.

I already wrote a post about this. Don't think there's anything wrong with the phones speaker because when playing music, youtube etc..., at the highest volume, there is not crackling happening. I think It has to do with the cellular reception and how the signal gets converted to the speaker. The way the phone handles the calls. Hope a software update can fix this.

That's exactly what I was thinking and, otherwise the reason behind testing myself 2 different Note II on two different networks. The only reason this still bothers me is because I came from an S3 and I was using it the same way, yet NEVER experienced this. On the other hand I know that for marketing purposes Samsung "pushed" the loudness of the loudspeaker on the Note II and while they may have had strict control in digital conversion of the sound files played through various apps, there wasn't much they could do/control about voice (due to multiple network variables).
I have not noticed this on a voice call, however on some games like Angry Birds Star Wars it does this when the volume is all the way up. Glad I am not the only one to notice this. I have the Verizon version of the Note 2. Mine also does not crackle during music play back. Guess its something we are going to have to live with. I even popped the back of the phone off to see if it helped and it did not. IMHO its sad considering how much the device cost. I paid outright for it.
I also hear this anomaly.

One would think with the size of this phone that it would have a nice size speaker that could handle it all without issue.
i had 3 note 2 ..i had to switch them out for various reasons..but all 3 including my current note 2 has the same call problem using the loud speaker..but again music and everything else comes out perfectly fine..just on calls only..so guess its normal and we cant do anything about it..
I also went through 2 Note 2's for this reason and have the same speaker issue. I have friends on Tmobile with same issue as well.

This is odd..... I have never had any problem with voice calls on speaker. Whats really weird is I came from the SGS2 Skyrocket and it had this very same problem, only voice calls on speaker . I was happy when using the Note2 because I no longer had this issue. Maybe it is hardware related, not the speaker but a chip or something

Yes, having the same issue here. Went from hunting down Volume + for my G-Nexus to looking for a way to throttle the volume on my Note2's external speaker .
Its like Samsung got tired of people complaing about low volume on some devices so they went the complete other direction and over powered the external speaker.

I don't really use speakerphone so... j/k yea I've had that problem, work with Samsung phones all day, and it does seem to be a consistent issue. I'm not familiar with Canadian carriers are those both gsm or is there any cdma in there? I know gsm has weaknesses when it comes to the digital to analog conversion & back.. your voice is converted to digital for backend transmission and back to analog on the other end. Maybe the note has some weakness in this area. It would be interesting to hear anyone's experience with a cdma note though.
