App to improve voice call sound quality?

Waynefb — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 22:06:53 GMT

Greetings one & all.

My new phone (a chinese cheapy, but all I can afford at present!) gives fairly poor voice sound quality. The speaker sounds too trebley and there are hisses on 's' and 't' sounds.

I've tried a few equaliser apps, but these seem to work on music playing, but don't seem to affect the quality of voice calls.

I presume that this is because the 'phone programme' and 'music player' are two different bits of software?

So, any ideas on apps that will address the 'phone' software so I can enhance the speaker quality during voice calls?

A million thanks in advance from both me, and my brother - who is sick of me saying "Eh?" and Whaaat?" at him!

Cheers,

Wayne.

Google for service codes for your phone model. Some allow you to change certain parameters that might help.

If it's a fairly new version of Android, it may be worth looking in settings/ call setting and seeing if there's any enhancements in there.

No joy on either of the above I'm afraid. 😞

I know it's not a proper fix but get a pair of headphones with mic, Samsung pair or something. It'll bypass those nasty tinny speakers and produce clearer sounds.

Hi

Their are some quite nice smartphones on the market that may surprise you ,and be in your price band.

Places such as CEX on the high street can throw up some nice deals on phones too.

Just a thought if the phone you currently own carries on not providing a good user experience.

I've never seen a 'CEX' on the highstreet.

I'm getting so tempted just to have no mobile at all. They all seem to be a pain in the asteroid in some way or another.

Anyone know a good carrier pigeon supplier?

(thanks for replying though. I'm off to live in a cave now.)

They aren't the cheapest re-seller around, but they do seem to offer a reasonable level of service.

You can buy a low priced Lumia, Moto G or Huawei Ascend brand new from Carphonewarehouse - There's no need to spend hundreds to get a decent phone these days.

I was thinking of Phones 4 U - they had the receivers in earlier this week.

Yes unfortunately they did. Let's hope they can be saved somehow.
