mtciii Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I tried searching for things about HD, HD Voice, but I didn't find other threads, so I apologize if I'm beating a dead horse. My girlfriend, her mother, and I all hate the way HD calling sounds. It's very...I dunno, robotic? and every time I see it's an HD call I'm just like, ugh. I'm very rarely in a situation where I care about the omission of background noise, so I don't see the benefit. I know there's not a way to turn it off in the account, but what about on an individual device? We have S6's and a Moto X pure in the mix.

SeanK_ Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Sprint is moving into this. Not sure why you think its robotic when its amazing when I get to use it. Much more clear and sounds louder. Maybe you or someone is in an area where a tower is having issues and that you might want to open a support ticket with Sprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cortney Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Maybe you or someone is in an area where a tower is having issues and that you might want to open a support ticket with Sprint. Or maybe someone in the mix is a secret VZW user. Edited October 3, 2015 by cortney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it hasn't seemed to matter where I am or where the other person is. If it goes through as an HD call, it just sounds weird. Maybe I still have to get used to it.

mtciii Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 It's just something to get used to since our ears are used to the old crappy quality calls. Will it eventually be a cross-carrier thing, do you (or anyone else) know? As much as I'd love to see everyone I talk to switch to Sprint, I know it's not something that will ever happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something all the carriers have talked about with VoLTE HD calling compatibility but it's a ways out for Sprint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to edit and enter your MSL code (if you don't have it, check your phone activation email; should be 6 numbers) Then go to Advanced. Scroll down to 1xAdvanced Then disable it, Exit menu and reboot phone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshnys8913 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I think Sprint always had far better voice quality then the other big 4 (even before HD), at least from my experience with the others. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travismheim Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 If you integrate your Sprint number with Google Voice you will lose HD voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samappz Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 On android 5.1.1 is service option 73, reduce rate 4 under 1x engineering indicative of HD calling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
