[p]For some, phone calls are an important feature of a phone. There's always a lot of discussion about which messaging app is the best or why you would want to use one SMS app over another, and those things are worth talking about to be sure. [p style="text-align: center;"]
[br][p]But voice calling is a primary feature of the gadgets we have in our hands and when you need to make a call, you'll want it to sound decent.[h3]Make sure your microphone and earpiece are clear (and clean):-[/h3][p style="text-align: center;"]
[br][p] This is something so simple it's often the last thing you'd check — are the mic and/or ear speaker blocked by anything? Anything means literally anything here. If you use a case make sure it's not covering any holes that shouldn't be covered (the same goes for your finger when you're holding it) because your phone probably has more than one microphone and uses one away from your mouth for noise reduction. The same goes for the clear plastic clingy wrap stuff that covers a new phone — peel it off or at least away from all the holes. While you're at it make sure no gunk is blocking any of the holes, too.[h3]Check to make sure any High Quality calling settings are enabled:-[/h3][p]
[br][p] All four major U.S. carriers offer some sort of enhanced voice calling on phones sold through their stores. This might be called HD Voice or VoLTE (Voice over LTE) or Enhanced Calling or something similar depending on your network and your phone. You'll find a setting for it in the network settings or in the phone dialer settings (or both), again depending on your specific phone and carrier. When enabled it sends and receives audio at a much higher quality than without it enabled because it sends voice data over a fast connection.[h3]Wi-Fi calling can make a big difference:-[/h3][p style="text-align: center;"]
[br][p] Wi-Fi calling is a thing on all major U.S. carriers and it can do wonders when calls sound bad because of your connection. They're not the best sounding calls — they can be a bit flat and have a tinny echo from the caller's end — but they are clear and you'll be able to understand each other, which can be a major improvement sometimes. Like advanced calling features, you'll find a setting to enable Wi-Fi calling in different places on different phones. Check the network settings for your carrier, the Wi-Fi settings themselves and the phone dialer settings and you'll find it in one of those places. It will be clearly labeled with the words Wi-Fi calls so it's not too tricky.[h3]Use an app that makes voice calls over a data connection.[/h3][p style="text-align: center;"]
[br][p] By this we mean either Wi-Fi or LTE (or even 3G if that's you). A data connection is a data connection as far as these apps care, and as long as you're connected to the internet they'll work. Our choices for apps here are Hangouts, Skype, and Duo, but each have their own drawbacks.[p][br][p style="text-align: right;"]Source :-Android Central[p][br][p]Have i Missed out Anything ?
