I love the phone i really do but I am wondering if anyone else is having problems with people being able to understand them ! Everyone keeps saying to me you sound like you are a mile away and they say it sounds like I have a rag on the mic on the phone! Any help would be great I am having this problem on my wifes as well hers was made in Canada and mine was made in Mexico and they are having the same exact problem
...
Take them back to the store and have them replaced is all I can tell you.
...
yeah im having a lil of the same issue and i've heard of other people saying the same thing not to mention all the pre release comments on it had stated sketchy call quality..like dude above me said tho take it back to the store is about all you can do im sure... i would like to know if you do that if the problem is solved. meaning what are the chances you get two replacements that do the exact same thing.....
...
Just let them do a hard reset then.
...
how does a hard reset fix call quality like that? just asking?
...
It just resets the phone as if it were new. It will reset all software and etc. I had problems with my Storm and I did a hard reset and it seems to be doing better.
...
ahhh got ya...so basically tho if its a "part" failure the reset still isn't gonna help it ?
...
Right. If it doesn't help, Verizon will replace it.
...
I'm going to start off by saying I don't have service with Verizon, I'm just bored and reading other message boards. That being said, I have a Curve 8310 (I know, it's old) and I am a huge fan of Blackberry phones, but they do seem to have a lot of problems. I haven't had any major issues with the curve, but it will freeze often and I will have to reset it. My friend has a Bold which he has had to replace several times. Reading back through this I found that I didn't help you out at all with this message, just thought I would voice my opinion.
...
It Didn't ! I tried doing that before I even posted here ! I called verizon and they mailed me out two new replacements so let's see if that helps!
...
sounds good let us know how that works out, i may do the same if my continues to be a problem.
...
This may make me change my mind about the Tour as I hate hard resets, battery pulls, whatever you want to call it. I was hoping maybe it was just my Curve. Can I assume that Windows smartphones have the same problem where it locks up or behaves in some weird fashion and the only way to fix it is "hard reset"?
...
Hopefully the replacements will do the trick. ๐
But every network has it's auditory glitches and this isn't nor the last time I've heard of someone on VZW with this problem. Not to mention the Tour is a new phone, they may still be working some bugs out. I remember reading through a update for the Storm and there were numerous audio fixes.
If all else fails try a different VZW phone or just test one where your calling with your Tour to see if it's the phone or not. ๐คจ
...
Well I would but they won't let me use my old alltel phone anymore! I have changed to a vzw plan which was crazy ! But it's already done! I should be getting the replacements today and I am hoping this will take care of my problem
...
Just got my replacement I will update once I know something! BTW These two were made in canada 1 and the others were mexico 5 so we will se if that is a difference!!
...
why couldn't they make them in Oregon? lol

I was told by my data device specialist that the Tour has built-in noise cancellation. I'd check to see if you can switch it off and try a call to see if that changes things. I haven't looked into it enough to know if this what you're experiencing, but it's worth a check.
