Your phone could be faulty or maybe the signal is just really bad.
Personally I find the call quality to be quite magnificent on this device.
Call your network provider if you bought the phone as a contract or contact Sony to send the phone for repair.
All the best!

speaker audio really quite poor

Anyone else not so thrilled with the audio quality from the speaker?
I have to keep it turned down very low a lot of the time because it hurts my ears if it's up too loud. That is one feature in a phone i'd be willing to pay more for....a really good speaker

pay more? on top of an already high price tag?
the sound quality is not amazing, but i think its on par with most other phones.

My old Wizard (8125) had 1 speaker on each side and was the best I've seen. HTC has squeezed out the speakers with other features. I wish I had that sound on my Fuze. Oh well.... I like the new features and will have to live with it now since my Wizard is long gone...

How is call quality/speaker quality?

Anyone with the device care to comment on call quality and speaker quality? Does it go loud or is it kind of quit maxed out?

Not many opinions there.
Its only about 3-4 people that I have seen on here that already have the phone, so you probably won't get many opinions as of yet
I'm curious about this too particularly because HTC phones as of late have had some pretty terrible loud speakrs. (vivid and evo3d) This is the only reason I have not pre-ordered the Evo LTE. I wanna go to a sprint store and listen to a phone call on speakerphone and also listen to the sound when an incoming call comes in or listen to a youtube video. I had the evo3d but returned it after 4 days because the loudspeaker was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to weak and the alarm wasnt loud enough to wake me up!
I guess for now I will just subscribe tot his forum and see if anyone with the one x posts a response.

Well, the speaker volume isn't like Iphone loud, but the audio quality at louder levels on speaker is vastly clearer compared to my previous 2 Inspire 4g's.
Speakerphone is usable now, sounded like crap before.
Hope this helps.

[Q] How is your speaker?

i noticed that my speaker is very quiet, even on my buddys sensation
my last two phones (nexus one & mytouch4g) both had LOUDDDDD speakers and the speaker on the sensation is a bit of a disappointment
anyone else notice a weak speaker?
Yeah its a known problem. Not much we can do about it.
Spkr sucks
This is the worst speaker I have had in a phone. I even tried dl'ing a volume booster app, it was ok i guess. but I jus went n bought a cube, (the lil external speaker) and that thing is really loud for its size. But mostly I gave up and just carry my iphone with me and listen to that instead. It makes me regret running over my sgs which put this speaker to shame.
Mines is just fine in call is very good and media such as music isn't that bad ...
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
I've got a problem with in call volume, especially with sip calling with the native client. Sometimes it's fine (in terms of the normal Sensation quietness). Sometimes it's just about inaudible. It's not a problem with my provider since I don't have this problem with other phones/sip clients.
Seems to be fine if I use a bluetooth earpiece though.
Don't really make regular cell calls too often, so not sure if it's a global issue or isolated to sip calling
Mine is xLOUD and its fine
No way around it the speaker quality for this phone is the absolute worst I have experienced period. I thought it was just me, good to know others have the same issue (I suppose). Does xLoud work with Virtuous Inquisition? Or is there any other app that does work at boosting the sound. It's the one qualm I have with this phone...

Want a loud speaker? Buy a Motorola rokr e1 or Motorola e398 ;-)

The first "iPhone" was such a dud, and yet it's call volume probably still obliterated this phone's. Is it too much to ask that the speaker isn't the equivalent of cups and string? I mean maybe it's a manufacturing defect or something (which I guess I'll live with until a significant upgrade comes along) but I contemplated returning this phone from day one. Fortunately, the pro's outweigh the cons but it'd still be nice to have a fix...

i dont know man
i heard about the dust under the screen problem, the bad touchscreen digitizer problem, the deathgrip problems.. lol so far i only have a weak speaker but im still thinking of switching over to the amaze or just wait to get a one s
the community here is HUGE and thats making me want to keep the sensation
Spkr sucks
My in call spkr works fine (although I basically make everyone text as I hate talking on the phone). Its jus the external speaker for music that really annoys me. I thought about it and this phone has the lowest output volume of every single phone I have owned even from a while back, Nokia 5310,(i still like that simple a** phone for some reason) xpress, 5730, g1, g2, hd1, my-touch, my-touch fender, Sgs-1&2, iPhone3, iPhone 4 all seemed to play louder than this. But hey, If they made a phone that had the complete pkg i guess it would stop the need for future phone sales so they gotta screw us outta sumthin at least I guess.
I too was on the verge of jus moving over to iOS n usin my iPhone4 since I JB it, the iPad & all 3 touches I started liking the amount of stuff you can do, But I came across this site today & was reminded of why Im stickin to the lil green guy on my phone.
My speaker is so so, but with Volume+ app it rocks!
My speaker is loud enough using DSPManager, but the quality is absolutely terrible.

Acording to the sony Xperia L white paper http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/c2105/whitepaper_EN_c2105_xperia_l.pdf
Its CTIA, the newer standard.
My new phones have arrived!
It works just perfectly. Bass is very good, higher frequencies could be a little bit better, thought.
The button works as it should to answer calls, and play/stop music.
Price is great for the build quality, materials and the general awesome design.
Nice earphones!! There should not be any compatibility issues with our Xperia L
What about Apple Earpods , anyone already tried it on Xperia L ?
which coloud headset?

Hello,
i had asked coloud in the past about the compatibility of their headsets with SONY XPERIA L but they weren't sure if they'll work with Xperia L and that stopped me from buying them. I just saw that they worked for you:good:! Can you tell me the exact model of the coloud headets you buyed and works its microphone and answer/terminate button?
Thanks a lot,
Nick

hey man
Sadly, I cannot recommend the coloud phones to anyone. The right speaker simply degraded in sound quality really fast, to the point I simply couldn't stand using it anymore, so I just shelved it... And after a while the rubber material of the chord also deagraded, turned sticky, horrible. All of that with very light or no use at all.
It could be that I was just very unlucky with the speaker going bad, but the material, if it is still the same one used, is really stupid of a choice as it degrades with time. and as for the button. it should work, depending only on the phone specs.
Im using a moto g 2014 for a year now. I bricked my xperia l xD

Hi, thank you very much for your response,
that's too bad to hear, since they look very nice at photos. I'm disappointed from the fact that is so hard to find a proper handsfree for this device! i thought it would be piece of cake, but it's not... Where are the years that every phone(even the cheap ones) had it's own handsfree in the box?

Speakerphone (loudness, clarity)

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.
