HD Voice / AMR-WB - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I couldn't find official confirmation of this, having kind of assumed it's included by default. After making some calls on the EE network today, to an iPhone 5 user, I noticed the audio wasn't sounding as good as it does when HD Voice (AMR-WB) is on.
Does the HTC One even support this? I've got a SIM Free One.

My incall experience is not that great . HD voice on my s3 was quality. This phone sucks a bit . It's the only thing that's bothering me with this phone

I tried the following, taken from another GS3 post about HD Voice / AMR-WB but it doesn't work:
You can check to see if AMR-WB is enabled by dialling: *#197328640#
And selecting option 8

Any way I can find out if I need to mess around with the phone to get HD Voice working? Mine is SIM Free, so now I'm irritated if it's not enabled by default. It should be...

I haven't read anything on HD calling on the One, so I'm gonna assume it's not included.

The HTC One is also AMR-WB (Adaptive Multi Rate - Wideband) enabled, as expected with basically all the new flagship phones.

as in the AnandTech review.
So it most definitely should be!

I've got a sim free One on 3UK, and calls to other 3UK handsets (a GS2 and an xperia T) have used HD voice. Sounds great compared to normal voices calls.

I would like to be able to do something along the lines of what's mentioned in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41831183&postcount=1
Anyone know a way?

[Q] Droid 3 Call Quality

Forgive me in advance. This is my first Android phone, and my first time on Verizon.
I'm adjusting heavily to Android. I've been used to the iPhone 4 for the last year, and though I detested it, there are things the iOS has that Android 2.3 doesn't.
One of those issues is the call quality. I'm not sure what it SHOULD sound like, but to me, this sounds like I'm at NASA talking to the ISS, or that I'm talking thru wax paper (like a kazoo), or that it sounds like early VoIP days (before NetMeeting).
Am I way off base here, or is there a setting I haven't found, or do I have a dud?
Thanks for any help you can provide,

Call quality is really good for me, my only issue is that it isn't as loud as on my old Eris, even with in-call volume up all the way.

Agreed. Call volume could certainly be louder, but I have absolutely no issues with the quality at all. If it really is bad you may want to bring it to Verizon for a replacement.

Voice calls on 3g Nexus 7

What do you think is the possibility of us getting this function guys, even if its not officially supported.
I've seen it built in on the 7" samsung galaxy tab 2.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ9RNhJAgjE&feature=bf_next&list=HL1351349133
Its not ideal, but im thinking it could be a useful feature so you at least have the option of just taking one device when your out and about :good:
If they had voice calls and especially messaging, then I would totally buy this as a replacement to my phone.
As a response to your question, I am pretty sure that it can be done, heck if the app is just deactivated on the stock ROM, it might be re-activeable, right?
I think messaging would be reasonably easy to activate.
The thing with voice calls is that you would either have to do them via speakerphone, headphones or bluetooth kit. I think I could live with that though for the functionality of a full 7" tablet experience. Its not something I would use in replacement to a phone every day but I'd at least like to have the option, and play with it a bit.
I was going to pick up the 32gb wifi and just tether it to my phone, but with past devices (ipad to phone) this hasn't always been a completely reliable experience and I'd like a backup plan.
So if the 3g device doesn't have much of a price premium I can see me picking one of those up instead. Im hoping its a $50 premium to the 3g device, if its $100 I won't bother.
Enabling the phone app can be easily done. The question is now well the Bluetooth support will. In the current WiFi models Bluetooth headset support has been very unstable (in headset profile). This is the idle way one would make a phone calls a voice enabled 3g n7.

Well let's hope with the arrival of the 3g model there will be more incentive for developers to address the issue.

I'm seriously contemplating giving this a try for a few weeks when I am able to get a 3g Nexus 7...
Yes there are compromises. Headset or speaker phone calls I cam like with.. The not having a camera would be annoying though... :crying:
All you would need is to copy the phone apk over and get 'er done.
Funny we're talking about it because a few weeks ago I had my N7 at a football party and we we're joking how awesome my new phone was. Everyone was holding it up to their ear and making up stupid fake phone conversations. Haha.
They're all mostly S3 and Note owners btw.

I believe that T-Mobile (U.S) has separate SIM cards for phones and tablets. You can't just take the SIM out of your phone and put it in a tablet. Is there a workaround for this?

Our devices already have phone.apk in the system/app directory.... its our framework that needs to be tweaked to allow voice calls. If you try to copy phone.apk over or install it then you will get a message that you will replace a system app are you sure you want to so it.
Our framework is compiled to hide the app as well as some other changes need to be made to XML files in the framework.res area.

What he said + need to make sure the modem will support voice calls in addition to data PLUS let's hope google will fixe the horrible bug the wifi N7 has with BT headset profile where in 99% of the time the mic doesn't work (otherwise you will only be able to make call with the speaker phone which is lame).

What I'm most interested in is having a connection for data without a wifi connection. Is that what this is supposed to be? If so, Skype could be my primary "phone". Could even bring my current cell number over when my VZ contract is up.
Not sure what everyone is talking about for the BT headphone issues. I use SKYPE now on my 16GB Nexus 7 with RocketFish RF-MAB headset and the headphone and microphone work perfectly.

I thought the question was what to use for voip. But now you change to tethering. I for tethering you have several choices.
First wifi hotspot
Second Bluetooth tethering
Third otg data stick method.
For Bluetooth I can recommend open garden even though Skype does not work with it. Tethering works fine out of box on mobile phones. And about the data dongle with otg cable you can find quite enough threads about it.

Did Whompasaurus come with the kernel or did you flash it after the fact?
I may, because the phone tends to get "stuck" on 1X or 3G and refuse to go to 3G or 4G even if there is a strong signal available. I usually have to toggle data to fix it and it's getting annoying. Other phones, including the S4, do not seem to have this problem.
Apart from that the One is pretty much flawless, so I'm just waiting until the end of the 14 days to see if the irritation of constantly switching data off and on gets to me.

Not at all...this is actually the first phone I haven't had any issues with. Not even considering rooting right now just b/c everything works...HTC One ftw
Had the S4 for less then a week before I brought it back and exchanged it for the ONE. Best decision I have made during my 14 years with Sprint. Didn't like the feel or performance (in my area) of the S4 at all. Lots of reception issues, dropped calls etc. Plus the phone just felt "cheap"

Would never switch to the s4, I have used the s4 extensivly. I updated to viper 1.1.0 and no issues with the back and home button anymore, big thanks to viperboy for all his work. Also a huge factor for me is the front speakers, makes the whole phone experience that much better.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
I have both. Im using the s4 but still play with the htc one. I bought both off craigslist for a really good price. They are both amazing phones. I cant decide which to keeo. I love the sexy design of the htc one. The speakers are amazing and i love the music app. I really love fact it downloads the cover art automatically. Then the S4. I love the bigger screen. I love touchwiz. I love the fact it has more features. I looooove the meny button being stationary and not different places dependin on what app your using. The fact is there both amazing phones. I think samsung listened to the consumers complaints about the s3 and note 2 and did its best to put out a product wed all love. I think htc listened to the complaints about tue htc one and the one x and did there best. I lean towards the galaxy only bc all my tablets are samsung and my fiance has the s4 so im just more comftorable with touch wiz. But the htc is super quick very snappy if you know what i mean lol. Uuuughhhhhh which one do i keep!!!!! Lol

Did both of those at least a dozen times, but the issues are still present. It may be a sprint problem, but it only affects the One. My old HTC Arrive did not have these issues, and neither do the s3 or s4.

Try repairing at the longest possible distance while the car is running so it hunts for the best BT channel. Start far enough away so that it fails. Then get closer until it works.
Bluetooth works great for me, finally since it was awful on the EVO 4G LTE. Only problem is voice command prompt volume is too low.

I have been having the same issue with the LG Optimus G here in KC. It is a network issue. It is how the phone trades off between 3G and 4G. I will be on 3g and my wife is on 4g at the same time. There shouldn't be a difference between S4 and One. They have the same modem.
Already did and I'm happy
First one to 64GB on Sprint gets my business (for the S4, that means 64GB +64GB SD Card).

[Poll] Nexus 5 Call Quality

Additional comments are welcome.
I'd say the phone has excellent call quality, it's loud and crisp, I couldn't ask for more really.
Bump.
whoever voted poor must be an iphone user
I haven't voted until I make more calls but of the three I've made, every person said my voice was choppy. I find it hard to blame the network because I have full signal and there were no complaints on my previous phone. The only difference is I had to switch to a micro sim but I dunno how that could be an issue.
I've made a few calls so far and all sounded fine.
The volume wasn't as loud as other phones but the sound was clear.
I've run into what might be a problem on my phone. When I send or receive a call, the first few seconds the other person on the line couldn't hear me. Then the sound would slowly increase till it was normal. I only have two bars where I'm at, so I'm hoping it's bad reception. Funny my wife has a moto x and she has full bars and the call quality is excellent. Oh,I can hear the other people loud and clear. Maybe it's my microphone.

Yeah the X is my first one, its call quality is superb. I was expecting the N5's to be pretty bad considering everything I've read about LG (the N5 is my first LG as well) but it's actually pretty good. Quite pleased.
I have a call quality issue. My voice sounds terrible to the person I'm talking to. I've left myself voicemails to confirm.
This isn't necessarily a problem with the phone. I think most noise cancelling systems are confused by the specific tone of my voice, and end up trying to cancel pieces of it.
I had the same issue on the Galaxy S3. The S3 had a setting in the dialer app to disable noise reduction and that fixed my issue. I have not found a setting like that on the N5.
As a test, I put my finger over the noise cancelling microphone and left myself a voicemail and I think it sounded better. But that was only 1 test, so I'm not certain about that yet.
comparing to the iPhone 5S, 5 and other devices I've used that I think were great. It's on par. I'd say excellent.
Ive experienced excellent call quality, both on regular netwrok, and VOiP with GrooveIP
compared to my desire hd the nexus 5 is like talking face to face. I always had issues with the htc and i was told people were talking mostly to their echoes and not to me.
This is the best phone, call quality wise, that I've had since my last dumb-phone.

It's a bizarre product if you ask me. Essentially it's a Bluetooth remote for your phone if I understand correctly. Allows you to perform basic functions away from your actual phone.
I can only really see one viable usage for this and that's business users. If you're using your phone to project a slideshow or stream a video you can then use the mini to respond to calls and texts without interrupting.
Even still, I don't think it's really a great product for the everyday user, business or no business.

HTC MIni+ for tablets
Whilst I got all HTC One models and this thing works well, Ultimately it could be a hot seller if it works with any android device. I've paired it with my Galaxy Note 8 3g, which has phone functionality but looks ridiculous if you use it directly as a phone. But it is severely limited. You can only pick up a call, but you can neither dial nor see anything on screen. With HTC phones, you can see who's calling, dial from phone history or through keypad etc. But nada on another device. This sucks. Does anybody know how to hack this to work with any android device. I'm sure if you know which files HTC is using in its system for all this, you can hack it like people have hacked Samsung Gear to pretty much work with any android
First, it is an overpriced nearly worthless accessory. Yes, if you want a 1999 candy bar phone, great. It also will use the laser when powered off & my dog likes to chase the red dot. However, it DOES NOT allow you to reply to text messages, not really. It lets you select pre-written messages to send, but you cannot compose on the fly. HTC also killed the 12 hr clock, in favor of 24 hr only. Whatever, not a big deal. It could be kind of useful, but the range on it really is atrocious. The degradation is nearly unbearable at 10 feet. So, why do I have this? One reason alone. It works perfectly to control Google Play Music which I use constantly in the car, of which I drive 50,000 to 60,000 miles annually.
Also, the ringtone on it is pitifully low, as is the vibration. But it makes a great remote in the car, albeit a bit expensive, controlling tracks, volume & play/pause.
I'd probably bite on this for $50. My m8 is going to be a DAP after I retire it because it is an excellent music player and has nice synergy with my C5D DAC/amp. Would be awesome to change tracks and do other stuff without having to turn screen on.

Found service for HTC mini+. Can I edit for other phones?
