CShurl,

I know how important call quality is.  If you're husband doesn't seem to be experiencing troubles, then it may be an issue with your specific device/software.  Do you currently have an update available in your settings? Thanks

I have not done the 5.0 update yet (but neither has my husband). I wasn't sure if I should after reading some of these comments.

I had my S5 for about 3 months with the same problem. I opened a case with Verizon, they tested over the phone and discovered it had a problem. They sent me a new one. My new one is perfect- no sound quality issues.

Cshurl,

I understand your reservations in completing the 5.0 upgrade, but it is recommended to be on the most current software version before any additional troubleshooting can be done.  Please let us know once completed if you're still experiencing trouble.

Did you ever get your phone quality to improve? Here we are months later...I just upgrade a few weeks ago and have horrible call quality. I have used it at home, out of state, in town, out of town, etc.  no difference. Have tried all the troubleshooting tips...nothing.

Deciding if it is worth getting an replacement S5 or should I consider another make/model? Just wondering what the outcome of everyone's experience was?

chelytoad,


We always want you to get world class service on your phone! That's incredibly important. We're glad to help. When did this start? Does it seem to be the same on all calls? Is it the same if you use the phone on speakerphone or using a headset?

Yes. It is all calls. I have called using speaker, not speaker, other cell

phones as well as landlines. No difference. Have tried to clear the phone's

cache, use HD voice, and have changed different in call settings. Nothing

seems to help. Tried 2 different cases as well as calling without a case.

Still echoing and garbled on my recipient's end.

The phone is brand new. I have it less than a month and the call quality

from what others tell me has never been good. At first I thought it was

maybe the recipient's phone but that doesn't seem to be the case. Smiley Sad

I have full coverage on my phone but was told by other Verizon customers

that since it has been more than 15 days I am stuck with this.

Having impeccable call quality is important, chelytoad. You've done quite a bit of troubleshooting. Let's dig a bit deeper to see what else we can uncover. What do you have set for voice privacy and noise reduction in Phone Icon - Menu - Settings?
