Turn off HD Calling - maybe in a service menu?

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Or maybe someone in the mix is a secret VZW user.

I suppose it's possible. 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.  :)

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.

It's something all the carriers have talked about with VoLTE HD calling compatibility but it's a ways out for Sprint.

For the S6, try this.

 

Go to phone dialer and dial ##DATA#.

 

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,

    • T‑Mobile Shatters World Record for 5G Uplink Speed https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-shatters-for-5g-uplink-speed The biggest news in this is that T-Mobile only recently got access to n258 after swapping their n260 for it with AT&T and they wasted no time deploying it at SoFi Stadium. Hopefully that means we're gonna start seeing a lot more mmWave deployments in stadiums soon. *fingers crossed*
    • Would anyone else be curious in helping me compile a list of quirks for various devices/modems/chipsets for SCP? I've noticed that Mediatek chipsets seem to report more information than Qualcomm. I bought a cheap Moto G 5G 2024 and notice that it displays the LTE downlink bandwidth, and the NSA information of T-Mobile, something that my S22+, which is also Qualcomm, won't do. I'm hoping that we can convince either Google or OEMs to fix their reporting on various devices. So far across all Qualcomm devices I've tested: - NR neighbor cells don't report - NR downlink or uplink bandwidth doesn't report (NR doesn't appear with CA as a result, only showing LTE) - NR signal levels randomly stop updating for various period of time before continuing to update (affects CellMapper more) - LTE CA levels randomly report and don't always update quickly when CA changes   On the S22: - LTE Timing Advance (TA) doesn't work and always reports 0, reported issue to Samsung and waiting to hear back   On the Samsung Galaxy S series (USA - Qualcomm Snapdragon): - LTE downlink or uplink bandwidth isn't reported - T-Mobile NR NSA doesn't report band information, AT&T & Verizon work OK (n5 & n77 tested)
    • Definitely. There are still a handful of Sprint sites here that haven't been decommissioned yet but also haven't been upgraded yet and they're offline. I think T-Mobile really wants to keep them but for one reason or another is running into trouble.
