Carrier? if its T-Mobile if its ULTRA clear means you're connected to another person on the other line that has a HD Voice Capable device
If it just sounds like Normal it means the other person doesn't have a HD voice capable phone or you or the other person is not on the capable network (HSPA) So Both of you Could have HD Voice handsets but the other person is on Edge which reverts it back to normal voice

Mine is like that only when I'm talking to my son on his S4. He said the same thing that when he's talking to me the voice quality is super clear. He's on Bell, I'm on Telus.

Weird. Well I called big red and they did something. My prl is now just 1 instead of that 15***. I had it changed to 13*** before but never seen just 1. But now my call quality is awesome... I can hear better
Meant to put this on the q&a

I have the same issue with sound on the other end being muffled, and others have trouble hearing me also. How would I go about changing my PRL to 1 to try it out?
You can't VZW has to.

I've had this problem from day 1. A bunch of different techs from VZW have looked into it and changed stuff on the backend and still no luck. :-(

I haven't noticed any issues and I got the phone on launch day.
Here is a thread on Android Central that we've been trying to do some testing about this issue:

I have been told that the voice quality isn't the best by some people but I have listened to a voicemail I left on someones phone and it sounded fine to me.

[Q] Verizon Turning off CDMA

Ok so i'm having an issue, I use my phone to tether as my main internet connection. Before with my x2 i was able to turn off CDMA and use EVDO only. So text wouldn't cut off my tethering date. On this phone i'm in EVDO only mode but i still get text messages :/
I dont think i can get phone calls in evdo only but the text still mess up the internet. This is weird
This phone does data and you can use the phone at the same time. Not sure about it while tethering, shouldn't be a difference though.

I was under the impression that this feature only works while on 4g is that not the case?

Always works. Its a qualcomm SoC thing. Rezound and thunderbolt could as well. Kind of silly to jump to conclusions like that without actually seeing if it hurts anything. I've answered phone calls while playing black light online.

Its not really silly, with the x2 if you got a text or a phone call you lost internet. Everything i read said it was because of the verizon network. so i figured it was every phone. Just what i read and was told by people on here and verizon.
New to Verizon.. if I understand correctly you're saying this phone can do voice and data? Even on 3g ?
I thought Verizon's network couldn't do that. If the previous statement is correct then can we use the international dialers that have video built into them ?

I thought the same thing, But i guess that was silly of me to think....... lol Really though idk what samsung did with this phone but on 3g you can do data and voice at the same time. i'm kinda surprised. I know nothing about international dialers
Like I said, its a qualcomm SoC (system on chip) thing. What I'm saying is silly is that you already claimed the txt messages hurt your tethering.

I also came from ATT so this is a nice surprise for me.
as for the dialers, I know there are dialer apps out there (which generally come from non US phones) that have video calling features built into them, is there anyone watching this thread who could tell me if it would be possible to get one and make use of it? and would it require root to replace the dialer app? (I'm guessing it would)
thanks

Call recorder?

You need to get a different phone. The geniuses that built our phone, decided to block that feature on a hardware level.

When you say hardware level, do mean firmware? or do you mean the audio chip itself is completely incapable of recording during a call. Surely there must be a way to trick the system into recording a call?

Google voice with lycamobile?

Is it possible to get google voice working with any other services besides the ones they have listed? I want to set it up with my lycamobile number. So is there a way to do this or is it not allowed unless they officially support it? I Google searched and all I could find was how to transfer your Google voice number but nothing about getting it working with other companies. Thanks

When I tried setting up google voice and texting and calling on my computer it said choose your carrier from a drop down list. The list only had certain big ones. Lycamobile wasn't on there but it supposedly runs on tmobiles network so do I just choose tmobil?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I never had to select a carrier but I set mine up a few years ago. Maybe things have changed. If your provider runs on T-Mobile network I would choose it

OK I'll try again and see. Last time I tried was a about 2 weeks ago so I don't remember exactly what the process was.

It didn't work. It says mmi something then error or something like that when I put in the activation code. It says prepaid T-Mobile plans not supported and my plan is prepaid so that might be the issue.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I don't understand what activation you are having to do. When I set mine up, I simply put in the number I wanted to verify from, what number would be used to forward to and that was it

They must've changed it then. Or maybe it detected yours was already supported. I wanted to set up the voice mail feature but it said. Your carrier may not be supported. Set up from PC or something along those lines and have me a link.

Se situation
Abdel, I appear to be in the same situation as you. I am able to receive calls/texts using my Google Voice number, but I wasn't able to make calls using the number because Lycamobile isn't on the drop-down list on Google's "activate Google Voice on this phone" page. BUT then I just changed the setting in GV to "Making calls: Use Google Voice to make all calls" and it works perfectly, showing my GV number on phones I call and ringing my phone when people call my GV number. It even seems voicemails are handled by GV and not Lyca.

Awesome thanks. I'll try that. So after setting it to make all calls you don't need to do anything from the computer? And does it let you text people with it too?

Correct, nothing else onthe computer. I'm using the GV app for all my text messages, not the normal Android texting app (soon to become Hangouts, methinks).
If this is working for you, hit the thanks button. I don't know much compared to some people here, so I'll take any boost to my thanks meter I can get.

I don't see the option for make all calls with Google voice. There's two about international calls and then one saying don't make any calls with Google voice. The international one says ask to make international cars and the other says make international call with g voice

So I was able to get Google voice working by using groove IP lite. It uses my Google voice number. It doesn't even need the voice app installed. In just going to have that set as a sort of personal home phone. What sucks Is in may apparently Google won't allow those apps anymorw

Need help with voice calls

Hey guys I'm running the cataclysm ROM with Franco r25 kernel. Every time I'm on the phone with someone they say I sound very muffled. But when I do a audio recording of myself it sounds clear. I'm also on T-Mobile. Would it be T-Mobile or the phone?

This could be one of a few things:
1. It could be your network
2. You may be speaking wry loudly into the microphone
3. It could be a microphone issue like other people are having.
Personally I would believe it's a software issue that Google will hopefully address soon.

Here's the thing my fiance and I are both in T-Mobile. She hears me very as if I "put a pillow on top of my phone" so she says. When I talk to others they say the same thing. Now here's the weird thing when I record a voice memo it sounds crystal clear. I would think if the voice memos sound good. Then phone calls should sound good as well.

Do you wear a hat or something or maybe you are covering the top microphone with your finger? I heard that complaint when i'm laying in bed with the phone pushed up against the pillow.
