Hi, I have a Note Pro 12.2 which I carry in my bag all the time. I just added phone service. I am concerned that I might miss important phone calls or messages. How is the Gear 2 phone capabilities? Somebody mentioned that there is no noise cancellation. Is it convenience to use it for making phone calls? How is the speaker and microphone quality? Can I use it for audio recording? is the recording clear?
Its very good if u keep in prespective its still a watch. I can talk with arms swaying while walking, on the steering wheel while driving... on a very noisy day, like with anyother speakerphone u will have issues though.

agree; its surprisingly clear and loud, and no one has complained about the volume or sound quality yet..

I keep reading reviews knocking the sound quality and voice quality of this phone, and it's scaring me away from it. They say the speakerphone and earpiece speaker is very low and tin can sounding. Can you all share if this is true or not?
Some days it sounds like a tin can but others it's fine. My DX was a lot better sounding. People can hear me without any issues though. It's only on my end.
the speaker for the bolt is pretty quite wish it was a bit louder, as for call quality on stock and das BAMF for me its one of the better sounding phones i have owned
I found that the phone sounds crappy a lot of the time. The volume control range is too narrow, so the volume is either too loud at the lowest setting or too quiet on the highest. When you crank the volume all the way up you get a lot of distortion and noise. I was definitely surprised by the low quality of the phone on t-bolt. My clamshell from ages ago worked better.

in call sound quality on mine is not that great,I get a crackeling noise at max volume which i never had before(also didnt notice till i dropped it a few days ago so may be the cause for me) but i almost always use bluetooth so its not really an issue for me the BT sound quality has been great for me.
well i have had 3 of them and so far all have been better than any blackberry or my htc imagio,the speaker is behind the kick stand that makes it quit but thru the headset and tethered to the car stereo its just fine. I drive a truck and its loud in here but all works well.

Unfortunately the TB is the worst sounding phone that I've ever owned... people on the other side say that I sound awful as well.
Yes it sounds bad and they know it!
I talked to HTC about the sound quality. They told me it was a software problem and would be fixed (Sure it will). They said to close the kickstand to make the external speaker sound better. Well if you can't hear it I suppose it sounds better. They said to turn the volume down so the ear piece sounds better. The phone also has a bad headphone amplifier. It distorts bad if you add a little base. This is my first HTC phone and it will probably be my last.
Wow, coming from my Droid X I have the exact opposite of what most of you are having.
No one has noticed that I have changed phones and I'm having an easier time understanding people on the other end.
I have a friend with a heavy Swedish accent that is much easier to understand now than he was on my X.
Hey all I'm looking to pick up a Blue Tooth Earpiece for my father who has an epic any recommendations? Thanks

My Epic Bluetooth
I own this bluetooth for over a month and I love it. Great sound, clear, and loud.
Voices sounds perfect with bass not like a hollow high pitch. When you place a call you can hear the sound level increase to a optimum level. Best thing is that it has a long battery life of 14hrs standby, a on/off switch, and volume control, voice controls and redial last call. You can't go wrong with Samsung since they make the Epic 4g its best to stick with this brand for the highest compatibility. Also its cheap and you don't have to break the bank.
I recommend this bluetooth to all epic 4g users alike and XDA...

best bluetooth I ever used..
controls music, volume and calls..
it also vibrates around your neck when u get a call.. so if your phone is on silent or u just cant hear it.. u will still know u have a call coming in.
I agree wholeheartedly with bigdreco! Best Bluetooth of the dozens (I'm hard on small electronics) that I have owned... until I washed it in a pair of jeans I could have SWORN I checked all of my pockets though.
I picked mine up off Ebay for $35.
I have to agree with lanboy except for one thing..
Get the Samsung Modus HM3500...
It has a stereo headset option. You can use it as a single, over the ear, bluetooth or
attach the included earbuds (with additional mic) and use it to listen to music and get calls.
It's about $25.

Hello
I would like to know which is the Best Bluethooth headset
with Noice Cancellation
1) Plantronics Voyager Edge
2) Plantronics Voyager Legend
3) Jabra Stealth
4) Jabra Storm
5) BlueAnt Q3 Premium Smartphone Earpiece
6) Jawbone Era
If there is a another better headset
Please let me know
Sennheiser Presence
I use my Plantronics BackBeat Pro headphones. Noise cancellation and 24 hours battery life, sensors that stop music when you remove them from your head and restart when put back on plus lots more stuff. And I like their fun sound.
The Storm seems to have mixed reviews at Amazon UK and Germany but the Stealth has mostly good reviews. I use the Legend and can recommend it but have not compared it to others.
I have 2 I use everyday.
1. LG Tones Infinim
2 Voyager Edge.
The Edge also stops playback when removed from the ear. Good noise cancelation.
I just love the LG's, they are always around my neck. The ear piece cords retract neatly into the headset. Music and calls sound great, easy controls and comfortable.

Thanks Bro
I think Voyager Edge seems a good choice
its surprising no comments on BlueAnt
Jabra Stealth
The Stealth is a great head set. Great noise cancellation, loud clear volume, announces the callers name, answers your calls with your voice and it has the best Google Now intergration of any headset that I have ever owned. I have the Jawbone Era and the Stealth is unequivocally a better headset.
Beats Studio Wireless
I been using the for some time. I can be outside in the wind without any issues talking on the phone. There are times were the headset will disconnect randomly. If there is no sound (music or video) the noise cancellation noise can very loud. Almost like if you were in a small air plane. There is no way to turn off noise cancellation without putting mute on. Battery can last over eight plus hours straight use. Sad part you can used it wired but head phones needs power to work. Great head phones a little over priced. I wish they didn't take away navigation buttons found on gen one.
Bose bluetooth very good

So the Voyager Edge has Google Now integration only in the US and EA regions. What's with that?
I can't understand why something I was regularly doing on Windows Mobile 5.0 is so fkn difficult for these guys. (and I mean Voice Command rather than Google Now, for any pedants out there)
Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy S8's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Its loud and clear. Great sound. All stock and no root

Get headphones or a bluetooth speaker for like 100bucks. You got an s8, dont tell me you dont have 100eur more to spend on something
The quality is good but honestly if it went a pinch louder then it would be perfect
speaker quality is par at best. obviously no improvements in the past 2 or 3 generations.
people have a hard time hearing me on speakerphone. speaker for me is just barely loud enough.
hopefully they will fix in coming updates.
Does anyone else get a laser beam sounding tone on high pitched sounds
The quality and loudness is not good enough on the speaker phone. Honestly, i have a lenovo vibe s1 costing $135, sounds better and louder. Sorry to say, i had to say this, as i was comparing the loudspeaker clarity with Huawei honor 6+ and lenovo vibe s1, both of these phones performed better than s8
I like having the front firing speakers since my finger sometimes covers the speaker when I hold the phone in landscape with one hand. With the bottom speaker, I have to kind of "cup" the speaker to "direct" the sound frontwards. The sound isn't bad, but I do prefer the front firing speakers for this reason.
On calls, with Verizon HD calling, it sounds amazing. With regular calls, it sounds pretty good usually, but if I'm outside, I often find myself selecting the "Turn on extra volume" option.
I'd have to say it sound a bit on the quiet side. Since it is very similar to my G4, I've already got use to it.
I traded my S5 in for an S8 and transferred my ring tones over from the S5 to the S8. Even at full volume on the S8 they are much quieter than the S5.
I love modem strike online and it sucks cause how you hold the phone it covers up the sound. Sucks. You can't 'cup' and play
My S7A is the loudest phone I have heard compared to all my friends and co-workers.
Speaker on the S8A is really that bad?
I got my S7A just befor the S8A became available, I'm considering dumping my S7A and getting the S8A.
Hmmm, maybe a major update might include a fix for the amplifier.
Could also be the location of the speaker on the S7A.......
I actually just had to send mine in due to the loudspeaker being all distorted sounding. Was really disappointed because I love this phone. I sent the phone in for warranty repair. I will reply with how it turned out.

Coming from a Moto X Pure, which had stereo front facing speakers, This was is the best way to describe it. It totally sounds like laser beam sounding tones and it drives me insane.

Yeah the S8 volume sucks.
Hello.
I have a dilemma, I can't find good/comfortable wireless earbuds that would work well for phone calls in windy conditions (riding bicycle). Every headphones I've tried so far pickup too much background noise especially wind, to the point that the person on other side can't hear me. Jabra Elite Active 75t headphones are supper comfortable and have phenomenal sound quality, but mic is useless with a slight breeze.
The mic in Sony SBH20 (a BT receiver w/mic, which accepts regular wired headphones) work very well when pinned on shirt's collar on the inside (the shirt blocks wind), I'd use it exclusively, but I don't want to carry wired headphones.
So I wonder if there is a way have 2 BT devices during a call, one for sound and another for mic? (or maybe someone could suggest headphones that work well in windy situations?)
Using Samsung Galaxy Note 10
Thank you.
