How do you find the Earpiece sound quality and voicecall performance compared to previous owned phones?
I think too many people where unhappy with the device because of the phone performance in general. I can't understand how such basic features where not treated as top priority specs.
It's " Who cares " typo sorry, not possible to edit the poll.
Thanks
EDIT: FLashed Radio 2.06 and voicecall quality is better but STILL CRACKLES
i find the sound quality is weird with this phone i.e.
rear speaker = loud but tinny, and seems that anymore than 70% volume and the software overpowers the actual speaker and causes distortion
headphones = ok sound quality very vocal friendly, quite nice for ambient vocal tracks, soft and fluff sound, i used shure se310 headphones so some of the best around
call earphone = very bad, even with the volume very low it still distorts when people talk, im not sure why this is and i thought it was a damaged speaker but its as if the sound is to harsh with the high feq.... so only call or accept calls from people with deep voices lol
It isn't necessarily the ear piece that's the problem, it's the VOLUME being pumped through it. The volume on my HD2 is ridiculously loud so I'm not surprised that my speaker is popping and distorting!
i went with the "it could be better" option
i always find myself switching to the speaker, then going back (repaeat cycle over and over with each call just trying to find an easy way to make out what people are saying.
a couple of mods would ultimately fix it, but im happy that the speaker is loud. Which kinda means its got the Umpgh
i use the headphines for music, i switched into an inear buds. it really makes a difference

Yes but it's TOO LOUD. I wouldn't mind if it went loud but I also want it to go quiet too, it's way too loud at the lowest volume setting. I can't use the speakerphone at all, it is destroying itself with distortion. I actually can't use the earpiece close to my ear either, due to criminally high volume. I use the earphone as a speakerphone - I kid you not. I don't know if it's just certain batches but my HD2 would be suitable for almost-deaf people.
Actually the keypad tones also are WAY TOO LOUD! I was in a meeting and it was like everyone was trying to find out where the was sound coming from... I had to turn it off.. a shame..
Not to forget also the pain the earpiece causes during phone calls. This thing is really sharp !!!
In terms of HTC phones, I've had the Kaiser and Raphael before the HD2, and I must say that the call quality on the HD2 is the best of the three! This wold be both through the speaker on the back (speaker phone) and through the earpiece.
I agree that the initial volume was way too loud, however there is a tweak somewhere on the board where you edit a registry entry for initial call volume, and that helped tremendously. So I'm actually quite pleased.
People who made the HD2 @ HTC Tech.. were a little bit deaf I think..
Bad speaker quality because of distortion and popping

Yea I think so, I am gonna try the registry tweak; hopefully it's gonna work.
voicecall is pretty bad because of the random noise similar to radio static. This nosie is particularly noticed when no one is speaking.

Same here ... someone spoke with HTC about this issue !?!?!?
I am not really bothered by the noise but by the poping and cracking sound the earpiece makes.
The registry tweak did not work for me as I expected
I will have to wait for a hotfix if any... I hope HTC will consider this issue...

have had the phone for only about a week but no issues with random noise. I do find that the loudspeaker distorts @ max volume, but just one notch below that and it's ok.
think the Touch HD has better earpiece / loudspeaker, but the HD2 can output higher volume on loudspeaker compared to the HD, so that's a plus.
maybe it's an issue with your phone operator?
For people who experience the background noise - Have you tried (if possible) both GSM and UMTS/HSPA (3G)?...

Yaah unfortunately that did not help
What tweaks worked for you guys to eliminate the distortion? when I lower the volume I keep hearing like a popping sound and cracks even with the headset.
Any idea? thanks.

I doubt that this is an operator related problem since my previous phone worked OK with this sim card.

Currently I'm only using GSM network but I will try making phone calls using UMTS. Don't think that will solve this problem though.
About tweaks I haven't tried any because all tweaks I saw were related to the distortion due to extremely high volume (which is not my case).

Same here, I need to remove the cracking noise, more like filtering the call quality, it's not a hardware fault im sure.
I've just installed the MCCM HD V4.0 [Desire HD] ROM to my phone and it works great. The downfall I have is the volume is not loud at all. When a call comes in or I listen to my music on it, I can barely hear it. How can I fix that problem? Thanks in Advance!

Louder Volume Hack v3.6
Check out the link above it should fix your problem
weird as this sounds .. try turning OFF the "beeps" when you dial the phone.
Settings / sound / Un-Check Audible Tones
And Make a Test call .. Some Roms this makes the Volume Louder!

I installed the app to my phone and nothing happen. I tried all of them and the volume still sounds the same. I don't know if I'm doing it right or what, but if you can guide me on how to set it up right.
Hi,
Is there any solution to increase earphone volume and call quality like in HTC or samsung by using service codes or any modifications?.
I think the volume and call quality in X8 is very low and poor.
If you are using cyanogenmod rom with working DSPmanager, turn on compression, it will give you a real boost

Does turning on compression improves in-call volume?

Sorry man, never tried calling with compression enabled, you`ll have try it yourself

Absolutely useless advise. DSP does not work with earspeaker.
Having installed cyanogenmod7, also faced with the same problem - my xperia x8 has very low sound via earspeaker. I can hardly hear what caller is speaking to me.
then this must be your cell phones problem, not with the rom. I dont have any problem listening even on a busy road.
Try to clean your speaker of dust......
FXP roms over 028 and official CM71 rom have bug there - very low call in volume.
Hi Folks, on my nexus 7 i used to be able to play videos etc at max volume and hear them without distortion - now at max volume the speaker is all crackly.. im using rasbean jelly and trinity custom kernel - could this be the issue or could there be a problem with the speaker?
cheeers,

Did anything happen to your speaker before the distortion?
Like a crackle or a bubblely sound?
If so, hardware !
If not, then yes this may well be the software you have installed.
I would try:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motioncoding.beats&hl=en
Try that, if no improvement I'd try to go back to stock and see what happens.
If nothing then must be hardware, this has happened to a few nexus's, hense I asked about the bubbling or crackling.
Hope this helps.
Hey guys,
Recently my in call volume has been insanely low. Like I can barely make out what I'm hearing low. But when I put the call on speaker it works fine, and regular audio works fine so I assume it's not a speaker issue. Anybody know how to solve this issue?

I have no case and it's definitely not my finger. I think it's a software bug of some sort. People can hear me fine, I just can't hear them.
Root, flash elementalx kernel, install ex manager, go to sound, and bingo!!
