How is your call quality?

[Kevinb84]

Hey all,

Just trying to see if my issue warrants a trip to Verizon tomorrow. I picked up my Droid on launch day and literally every person I've talked to with the exception of my mother has told me that I sound like ****. My wife says that it sounds like I'm a robot. As lovely as it would be for Motorola to include a voice synthesizer, I don't think this is the case.

Let me know if you've had the problem or not. Every review I've read says the phone had "great" call quality.

Thanks,
-Kevin

have you tried to update the programming on the phone or update the cell towers?

[Kevinb84]

I did not, Im doing that right now and will post back with my results tomorrow.

Thanks,
-Kevin

Hey there,

i guess we had this once or twice here and it looks like ****ty calls are in the minority of DROIDS. That makes me think of a hardware error. Ever talked to VZW Hotline bout it?

I think that the Droid has great call clarity, better than most phones I've used. And when I was talking to my dad, he told me that the call clarity was better on his end as well.

mine has a bit of static/ crackle that I hear in the background, though people I'm talking to say the quality is great. I didn't have this problem with my previous Verizon dumb phone in the same calling areas. I updated the software/towers and it didn't help. Will likely take it back to the Verizon store today to swap it out. Of note, phonearena.com had a similar experience with their test unit when they did their review of the Droid

Mine sounds pretty good, but it does have some kind of digital compression sounding mumbles on it wihch is very annoying. Even with silence i hear some kind of dac or dsp artifacts from the earpiece.

I just got mine last night, but I have no issues at all with hearing or being heard! It's a heck of alot clearer than my previous phone!

People sound great on my end, but a lot of people say i sound muffled on their end. Pretty annoying always repeating myself.

I get the same thing on mine...some kind of static background noise when I am on calls. Wonder if I should swap this out at VZW.
