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

Is everyone happy with the audio quality when making a call?! This is my first XDA phone and have been really surprised at the call quality compared to my old Sony W800i.. it sometimes feels a bit like I am holding a shell up to my ear!
Overall, even on the lowest volume it is still too loud for me, and the tone has too much treble in it for my taste. So does anybody know if:
1. There is a reg key that I can adjust to bring the overall call volume down?
2. If there are any programs that i can get hold of to adjust the tone of the audio when on a call?
Apart from that the Orbit is exactly what I wanted, just a shame at the moment I don't want to make many calls on it!
Many thanks,
Tom.
Mine was exactly the same as yours. I think you described it perfectly, it's like holding a shell to your ear. In fact there were times, I made a call, and didn't even bother holding it to my ear and I could still hear the person on the other end.
I don't have the Orbit anymore, got the Trinity instead, and I think call quality on the Trinity is much better.
You can try swapping it for another one, as you have 28 days. Maybe both of us were unlucky.
I don't think you can adjust the sound qaulity for the call. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Have already tried swapping for another one.. o2 were very reasonable about it however, the new one is not much different (although it does seem quicker than the first for some strange reason!).
Its really annoying, walking down the street and making a call is very difficult.. its almost as if the gain on the mic is too high and is some how feeding back into the earpiece.. which is compounded by the volume being too high and the tone not being great.
Its good to know I am not the only one having this problem however!
I would realy like to find (or develop) a fix for this as in all other respects this is the perfect phone for me!
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 there
i am thinking of buying the htc desire , but after reading lots of reviews i didn't find any good answer of this question:
how's the sound quality of the earpiece during phone calls?
i work in a very noisy place , and currently i am using pro2 which is great when it comes to this point.
so , is the desire as good as the pro2 or better?? , please advice as i really need your opinions
thanks a lot
For me, the earpiece quality is more than sufficient.
But you might want to take a look at the Nexus One, wich has noise cancellation technology with a second mic.
i can't get the nexus one as it's not avilable in my country , and i am stuck with only two options the htc desire , and the sony x10
i pesonally like the bigger screen of the x10 , but i saw so many posts in its forum saying that it has a very poor sound quality
and i also like the sence interface of the desire as i am using it on my pro2
so compared to the pro2 to the desire how's the sound quality?
any help please
this point will be a deal breaker for me
thanks
Get either. They are both great. Although I prefer the desire's slim feel.
Then get a "Jawbone Prime" bluetooth headset. This has a sensor which detects movement in, you guessed it, your jawbone and only returns what its picking up.
I can make a call doing 70 on the motorway with all the windows down and the receiver can clearly only hear my voice on my headset.
Well worth the investment. Cost me £50

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.
