Does anyone know if this phone can be made to support any of T-Mobiles enhanced services, such as Enhanced Voice (EVS) or Enhanced Messaging? I assume it doesn't, out of the box. But is there a way to add this functionality? Calls with EVS on my Galaxy S7 Edge sounded amazing, and I really liked the "... is typing" chat style notifications while texting, as well.
HD voice worked fine on the 6P. It should work fine on the Pixels too, but I haven't had a phone call with another T-Mobile subscriber to test it yet... is EVS something different than HD voice?
I wouldn't expect any RCS advanced messaging functionality yet. Google said they want to implement it in one of their messaging apps (this was months back), and I expected it to happen with Allo, but we've all seen what a flop that has been so far.

EVS is better than HD Voice. It works on landline calls, and has even better voice quality than HD voice (it uses a different codec). It came out some time this spring (march/april, I think), and I noticed an immediate difference on my S7E. I can tell by the audio quality that it isn't enabled on the Pixel, but I wasn't sure if there was a way to make it support it.
Thanks for all of the info, and the confirmation on RCS!
PS. You have great taste in cars.

I'll admit, I started this reply waving my "BS" flag. Because technically. You cant hold an HD call with a land line. It isn't exactly possible. HD Voice is a wideband codec (AMR Wideband in most cases). This is infact a different codec then "SD" voice calls. However T-Mobiles interconnects and the legacy landline voice networks don't support Wideband audio. The best audio you're going to get out of a real land line is G711/Ulaw. 64Kb/s on a channelized trunk like a T1/PRI.
After reading https://newsroom.t-mobile.com/news-and-blogs/volte-enhanced-voice-services.htm
It does appear they are some how offering better call quality to land lines. I suspect (As you pointed out) this is a higher quality codec that runs between the phone and Tmobile Interconnect. Their interconnect doesn't exceed G711, And is considered a narrowband voice path. However, you certainly can get better voice quality on a real land line then most phones provide in a single GSM/1X voice channel.
I would ask Tmobile if EVS is supported on the Pixel. If it was supported on the S7E it should work on the generation newer pixel series.
I will say though I've noticed difference in the Pixel vs my old Note 7. HD seems a little less crisp on the high side of the frequency range. But the low side sounds MUCH better. I suspect this is a physical difference in the phone ear piece. I will note however, "SD" calls seem to sound quite a bit better compared to my Note 7. This is my experience on VZW atleast. So not to be confused with EVS, I'm just saying from a physical audio difference from the phone hardware itself.
I suspect the two items go hand in hand (EVS and EMS). And that they don't currently have a profile to enable these services on the pixel. Presumably because it's a BYOD device currently. Just like VOLTE and HD Voice is only supported on the ATT network if you've got an ATT tested device. They're trying to get you to buy one of their devices.

I can tell you that it definitely isn't BS (it seems like you discovered this as well). The difference in voice quality to a landline is amazing. I actually noticed the difference back in the spring before I even knew that it was supposed to happen. I had to do some googling to figure out what T-Mobile had changed. Calls between T-Mobile phones sound like the person is in the room with you. You hear the full spectrum of their voice.
I agree that there is less high-end/treble in the received voice on this phone. I haven't noticed an improvement in low-end, but my S7E had a pretty good earpiece on it, so it may not be as noticeable in comparison.
I think you're probably right about them not having a profile for EVS and RCS on this phone, because they don't sell it yet. I hope it happens at some point, though. Thanks for all of the info!

Yup, I do agree from the article I linked it does seem to be a real thing.
There's always been varying qualities of "SD" voice. For instance. My desk phone here at the NOC is a Yealink T48G. "SD" G711/ULAW calls on it sound worlds better then your plain old home phone, Or most cell phones. It's the same codec, So nothing is different. It's just the quality of the phone generating what you're hearing. IE. The weakest link in the chain is the physical channelized voice trunk. That knows nothing but 64Kb/s audio.
Cell phones are different. Standard phone calls have always been a lower quality codec (GSM/AMR). So the weakest link was the poor codec between your phone and the carriers interconnect. It would appear that Tmobiles EVS increases this codec so you're able to extract the maximum quality from Interconnect. IE, Once again moving the weakest link to once again be the carriers interconnect. None of the above is considered "Wideband/HD" but I get what you're talking about.
Honestly, I figure this was another further step for TMobile to get rid of the old circuit switched style connectivity with the phones and move more toward Data (VOLTE/RCS are all data based). Allowing them to focus more on their LTE deployments. Rather impressive of them to say the least. It's been a long time coming and it's about time honestly.
To digress. I would recommend reaching out to Tmobile and asking them about support. I suspect you'll need to demand to be transferred to a higher Teir of support to get someone with a clue.

Hi,
i've noticed today with that the voice quality sucks hard. I have two iphones and two desires here. With the iphones the quality is brilliant, on both desires i have a constant hissing / acoustic noise in the background during the call (only when the other personal is speaking).
Any comments on that? I found dozens of complaints in a german forum, we're not sure if its a hardware or software issue. For sure it's no provider/coverage issue...
Fantastic voice quality on T-mobile and Vodafone. My Desire is on T-mobile and friends on Vodafone. Also, 1000s of T-mobile cutsomers (UK) have had Desires and I never heard of a call quality issue.
No issues with voice quality on voda
no problems on O2 Ireland.

Doesn't seem any worse or better than any phone I've had in recent years.
Is better than IPhone and htc touch HD for me. Absolutely no hissing at all.
Ok thx for the input
My desire calls are much clearer on the t-mobile network than my iphone 3gs on 02, as a general rule i found iphone's call quality to be awful.
strange as i thought t-mobile was a crap network the last time i used them, seems ok now though.
Hi Watercool
Little late reply, but i just recently got my desire and have tested a few calls. I have the exact same problem as you describe. When the other person speaks, there is a constant hissing noise in the background. I have seen other posts with the same problem. It might be my speaker, as the hissing is barely noticeable when i use my bluetooth headset. Might try to contact my dealer and see if this can really be true, as so many here claim they have no problems at all.
no noticeable problem during calls... 3 network aus...

I have 2 iPhone 3GS' and one Desire. Desire's audio quality sucks hard in comparison to iPhone in every aspect (making a call or capturing audio/video).
My call quality isn't particularly wonderful either. Infact, its exactly like how it was on my HD2... They both are pretty bad compared to my Blackberry and iPhone =/
I am on O2 uk and must say the call quality is absolutely ****e. I can't figure it out at all as some numbers I call always are bad but other numbers are ok. Seems other network calls are worse so not sure this is the handset causing the problem?
I would say call quality if good on at&t in US. .but i did notice that i have answered couple of calls since i have had it and its like no one is there when i answer? Weird, anyone have that? ALso today i was like on phone for 40minutes today and i lost call twice and i was just standing in the same spot.. more like it went quiet and that was it.. I have Telstra model A8183 and rom. I dont like it but havent had any luck rooting the phone so i can load stock htc rom..

I moved from an iPhone3G to my Desire, and found the voice call quality to be about on par with both devices. No complaints here!
Loudspeakers pretty much sux compared to other phones. To 4 years old phones even.
Call quality is decent and the sound through headset is good too

Having got rid of a 3GS to keep the Desire I would say speaker quality is ****e on both, but on Orange UK the call quality is 100% better on the Desire, one of the main reasons for dumping the iPhone was because the person on the other end of the phone sounded like they were under a duvet.
Some of you are saying the speaker quality is better than on the iPhone? I really can't believe you. Try playing the same mp3 on the iPhone and on the Desire. Surely you must notice the shallowness of Desire's speaker.
Hi, I'm calling all SGS2 or iPhone 4S owners to help me identify whether my device is somehow broken, or it's "normal" for the GSM version of Galaxy Nexus:
In short, voice in-call quality is definitely worse than on SGS2 and iPhone 4S. I tried all those phones with exactly the same SIM card standing at the same place, calling exactly the same number (my voice mail), hearing the same message on all three, so it's not a matter of card/operator/signal.
I noticed, when using the ear speaker, that:
1. At maximum in-call volume, on Galaxy Nexus I hear some occasional creaking noise, like if the volume level was too high for the ear speaker to handle. I don't hear any noise like that on Samsung Galaxy S2 or iPhone 4S.
2. At maximum in-call volume, GNexus is still the quietest phone out of those three. iPhone 4S is the loudest (and without the creaky noise), Galaxy S2 is second (without creaky noise as well), and Galaxy Nexus is the quietest of them and yet develops some creaky noise at the same time.
3. Some high pitch sounds are unpleasant to hear on Galaxy Nexus, while they are fine (the same word from my voicemail) on both SGS2 and i4S. I'm not sure how to describe it, some words (I know only polish words that cause this at this moment) are really unpleasant to hear on GNexus..
4. I'm not sure if it's because of the creaky noise or not, but the voice from GNexus sounds the most 'robotic' out of those 3 devices. As I already wrote, I was hearing exactly the same messages on all three phones (my voice mail), and while they sounded pretty much identical on SGS2 and iPhone 4S, they sounded a little bit more 'robotic' on GNexus.
Ok, that's all. Don't get me wrong, my GNexus is capable of making/receiving calls. The problem is I'm a little bit hearing impaired and in order to understand people (especially when they don't speak in my native language) I need to turn the volume up a bit, otherwise I can't hear them. And unfortunately my GNexus is _definitely_ the worst phone in regard to call/voice quality out of those 3 phones. Anytime when I talk with someone for longer than "just a minute" when my SIM card is in GNexus, I wish it was in SGS2 or i4S just because I know I could hear someone better then. For short calls it doesn't matter.
So, the question is: does anyone who owns either SGS2 or i4S noticed this as well? I wonder whether there's something wrong with my specific device and I should replace it, or it works "as expected"..
Maybe it's caused by 2G network? I'm very often on 2G network, though with good coverage (4 signal bars)..
I appreciate any help, thanks..
I bought the GNEX because my wife constantly complained that my International SGSII was unbearable. Well there were other reasons also, but voice quality was her biggest gripe.
The GNEX is much better.
My wife has an iPhone 4S BTW (we are both on ATT).

Interesting. But that's from her side, suggesting that mic on GNex is better than SGS2. I have no idea whether it's true, people can understand me no matter what device I use.
What about your side - did you notice any differences (especially something related to what I described) when it comes to voice quality compared to SGS2?
I get crackling on occasional calls. But it's not consistent and not every call. Hasn't bothered me a ton. Volume is fine.

That's interesting point and I admit I never asked anyone if they hear me better when I use GNEX. I'm a little bit selfish though and more interesting in how I hear other people, than how they hear me, especially since my hearing is quite bad
Perhaps GNEX has better noise detection mic than SGS2?
At the verizon store it is not only too noisy to test this effectively, but the security devices smother the speakers. So for those who have heard both, can you comment on the extent of the difference?
I will be using the phone heavily for business, so speaker phones and a good Mic for meetings are critical. Although I wanted to go with the Nexus, I must say all in all, I need a good phone with quality speakers/sound pickup.
I've heard some chatter that the speaker quality is not as great as the rezound, but have not found any fulkl threads dedicated to this topic.
This isn't precisely what you were after, but GSM Arena did a speakerphone comparison that may help.

I have tested several time on my Galaxy Nexus, it doesn't enable the noise cancellation during calls.
My friend can easily know I am on train with the noise they heard.
However, I am doubting if it is rom related, can someone share your experience?
Boy I can't wait for VoLTE for this.
I question this too. I get complaints when calling from the freeway.
But i can confirm both mics work using tape recorder pro and testing each mic separately. The rear mic almost sounds better than the front.
Noise Canellation
On Galaxy Nexus the noise cancellation I never see it work at all. On my Old Nexus One The noise cancellation was working great. I don't think the noise cancellation is working at all on Galaxy Nexus.
Noise cancellation is disabled during phone calls. That was already known. It's mainly for video recording.
Also, having both mics sending data over 3G/2G is too much, but we won't get VoLTE as we only have one lte radio.

Thats not how noise cancellation works. There is no sending 2 mic data anywhere. Besides, tons of existing phones already have 2 mics with noise cancellation, nexus one, atrix, iphone, and they all work great and dont send 2 sets of data anywhere. It all happens on the phone. Sigh.

Low-res camera? Dude this camera is great! If people honestly are going to freak out about MEGAPIXELZZZZZZZ then they need to do some serious research. Megapixels do not make the camera, they just tell you how big you can blow it up. And last time I checked most people aren't editing photos or sharing photos on a 100" screen, so there isn't a need for anything beyond 8. 5 is perfectly sufficient as well. I heard a phone at MWC yesterday was going to be released with a 41MP camera. That is outrageously stupid but people will buy it just because there is a bigger number than before. Just like exhaust on a car. 5 inch exhaust!?!!? OMFG I'm sure that has to give me like 100 horsepowers!!!!

You are missing the point. We bought the most expensive phone on the market and thought we were getting the "best" phone, but Samsung skimped on features. Yes, the camera is acceptable, but 5mp is 2010 technology... No noise cancellation on a high-end smartphone is just wrong.

Unfortunately, the hardware is NOT there... It's a special chip we are missing. Sure, they could add software noise cancellation and use the two mics, but it would be vastly inferior to something like the earsmart technology, which was on older nexus devices.

I like the GN, but I am disappointed with the lack of some high-end features.
Question: is it Samsung's influence so the GN wouldn't take away too many GSII sales, or was it Google's decision to build the phone to a price point to keep margins high?

5MP equals out to a resolution of 2984 x 1680 (Compared to 3768 x 2120 for a 8MP camera). Find me why it would be necessary to have a higher resolution camera? Also, this camera has a faster shutter speed than most newer phones.
Oh, and if you are doing major photo editing with a phone camera... you're doing it wrong.
pixel hype is so 2008
I prefere low sensitive with low noise ccd.
Some good low light presets would be nice to
no need for 12Mp
noice cancelation would be nice, but can say I'm missing it much

Coming from the Galaxy line of phones, with the note 9 being my last, I find no issues with reception or calls. No better or worse. I live on a fringe area and I lock on to LTE, although I get barely 1meg download at home. On a good signal area, download speeds of 25 to 50 megs is about what I get. I'm on an att mvno (red pocket), so no hd voice or wifi calling. But standard voice calls are ok.
On T-Mobile, I've actually seen nearly identical or even better download speeds vs my OnePlus 6T, which is surprising considering the power from the 6T.
I'm really stuck between both phones. I've always LOVED any OnePlus device I've owned. While I've used pixel devices before, this is the first one I've actively owned and used consistently, and I'm actually loving it. My OnePlus fanboy side is telling me not to give in... But I'm becoming a bigger pixel fan every second I'm using it
I just passed on my 6T today, I had held onto it in case remorse set in but that hasn't happened. I went from Tmo on the 6T to Fi on this phone and for whatever reason get faster speeds on this phone even though in theory I'm on the Tmo network. Go figure on that one, only thing I've got is that my 6T was the unlocked variant, could be a factor...
I was getting too many dropped calls.
Not just in my house, but all over.
Very disappointing.
I returned my 3a XL for this and a few other reasons.

I think this phone is awesome for the price. I sold my note 9 for a better camera and timely updates, and don't regret it one bit. But I do have some issues with the bluetooth behavior. When I turn on any previously paired speaker, the phone automatically assumes I want it to connect to it. This is annoying because every time I turn on the TV, the Pixel redirects sound output to it's sound bar. Also, when I connect to bluetooth speakers, music starts playing and then cuts off, and I have to redirect sound to the phone, then back again to the bluetooth speaker for audio to work. The second issue seems to be fixed on Q, but not the first one. It's just a minor annoyance, and not enough to ditch this phone, but never had this issue with any other phone. Other than that, I love my Pixel.
