[Q]Voice Quality without Noise Cancelling

As I was looking at the specs of the G2, I noticed that it does NOT have noise cancelling. When I first got my Nexus, people I called couldn't tell I was outdoors speaking to them.
Has anyone gotten comments regarding background noise from someone on the other end of a conversation?
I had hoped that noise cancelling would be a standard feature after being implemented in the N1.
Any thoughts and experiences would be great as I consider upgrading to the G2.
I'm pretty sure the mic is noise cancelling... from what I can tell. The quality of calls is on par with the MTS which had voice cancelling for sure.
Very good voice quality
Not sure since it doesn't specifically say, but I am getting very good voice quality with my G2. Callers also have confirmed their end is quite clear. Love it.
I thought to have noise canceling u had to have 2 mics? Idk not to knowledgeable on that hardware so correct me if I'm wrong but any N1 owners I've talked to on the phone sound crystal clear =)

It would be hard to converse with an MTS user if the mic was indeed voice cancelling. That's weird.

Yes. One microphone is placed away from your mouth and tells the phone what sound to drop.
I'm quite sure it cancels noise. I have the 3.5mm jack plugged into the aux in my Nissan Armada and have asked if the caller hears an echo or other noises and they say "No, it sounds like you are on a phone in a quiet room"

HTC Conference Speaker BS P100

Thinking of picking one of these up for video chats, anyone got one and have any comments on speaker / microphone quality for 1 or more people?
Looking for louder, more clear audio than whats built into the handset speaker

are you facing this problem only while you play music or also video? maybe you got a corrupted .mp3 file but i don't think it is caused by that
It's normal, one x has quiet speaker, when i listen to, say, hard electro, or anything else that has stronger kick bass, everything else gets distorted when kick hits, but for low bass stuff the speaker is good.

I had the same problem to the point I couldn't hear it ringing, so I got a soft toothbrush dampened it slightly and brushed the speaker it drastically improved the sound, I have to do it frequently

Loudspeaker Loudness?

So guys, how's the loudspeaker on this device? The voice loudness and clarity is good for call conference on loudspeaker?
Yep very loud and good speaker in the earpiece.
It gets pretty loud. Weird thing is the loudspeaker is right where the earpiece is, which helps so you don't have to turn your phone onto the glass to get the best sound from the back of it.
Seriously thinking about getting the JBL Moto mod for it.

Bottom speaker noticably louder than top speaker

I watch a lot of videos on YouTube of people reviewing things, and I noticed that voices sound louder and clearer through the bottom speaker, is this problem specific to my pixel 2 xl or do any of you have the same issue?

It is not specific to your phone.

Also the the top speaker is off when you receive a phone call( ringtone) and you will enable the speaker during a conversation. Why??

If I'm not mistaken, that goes back to before smartphones. Way back, there was a phone model that used the ear speaker for the ring and it was really loud. Actually rings in general used to be much louder than now, though there was a separate speaker for sound on most phones. There was some issue where people were trying to talk and having it ring right in their ear. I can't recall the exact issue, other than it was in the media.
So basically, they don't use the ear speaker for the ring so that people don't get a loud ring while they have their ear up to that speaker.

With my Nexus 6 this was not the case.. and I believe that it is very easy for a smartphone to understand and shift to the bottom one when you talk one the phone.
Well it isn't a legal requirement, just a design practice. Doesn't surprise me that a Chinese company would decide to do things differently. Proximity sensors weren't on phones until fairly recently.
It's weird as the quitet speaker on my device is the one below the navigation bar.
