Crappy voice quality iPhone 4

I don't what to tell you. When I had the iPhone 4 on ATT, the call quality was superb.

You have been around here long enough to know what affects call quality. Plus if you have no case on the 4, and you are below 5 bars, you can be subject to antenna gate. It could also be bad audio/radio hardware. Unless you just don't wish to use the iPhone 4, I'd take it to Apple for a diagnosis. Antenna gate was fixed with the 4S and beyond.

I cannot see how using Notes can be painful in anyway whatsoever. Open app and type.

Hello Telekom, long time.

I don't understand how making notes or calendar entries is easier from a dumb phone than from a Smartphone. To each their own I guess.

In any case are you just complaining/venting about your iPhone 4 or looking for help and/or suggestions? Please explain.

You can probably take solace in the fact that there are more expensive paperweights that do less, such as Gold Desk Clock Paperweight (23Kt). Oh, and there is an app for improving voice quality: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skype-for-iphone/id304878510?mt=8

 

Well it's just me. I don't agree at all with you here. Firstly you don't need a password. Secondly typing a note with a numerical keypad takes longer. And how often does one remember to save? iPhone auto save is better.

If I had spent $150 on a phone without making an attempt to have it diagnosed, and let the 90 warranty expire- that's a waste if money. You got to make the effort instead of jumping the gun and whining.

Google ANY phone and there are complaints of bad audio. But the majority opinion, when the phone is working and the network is good is that the iPhone 4 quality was on par.

The 4 was not designed for tmobile usa. Google doesn't bring up major complaints about audio with the two. S**t happens and maybe yours is defective. Personally I would have gone for the 4S or 5.

So Telekom, how about answering my question?

 

I agree with Charlyee.

Telekom. If the advantages of a smartphone like the iPhone are that important to you and you were willing to dish out $150 for a 3 year old designed phone (instead $199 for a 32Gb 5C), I'd certainly would have Apple look at it under warranty, instead accepting that all iPhones have crappy voice compared to your old dumb phone. It's just not so.

The 4 doesn't work on t mobile 3G networks. Around where I live there are more 3G WCDMA transmitters than ole GSM voice. So gsm voice coverage is not what it uses to be.

However you're comparing your all gsm phone to the 2G gsm of the iPhone 4. So I suspect a hardware problem. Or network.

We are trying to help you out here by offering suggestions and my personal experience with the iPhone voice. That's all guy.

However my wife often complains that I try to problem solve everything too much. Sometimes I'm suppose to just listen.

So if you just wish to rant, I get it.

Just a reminder, the $200 for an iPhone 5C is the price for a contracted phone. Perhaps Telekom doesn't want to get into a lengthy contact with a carrier. The 5C starts at $550 without a contract. The 4s is $450.

Also, the iPhone 4 has WCDMA on 1900, so it would get '4G' on it, albeit on a limited scale.

Lol Telekom, you are funny.

All I am trying to do is figure out if the forum members should spend their time trying to come up with explanations and suggestions to help you.

If you are simply venting, then we will just move on.

 

Ok Telekom, you seem to be going out of your way to pick a fight. So enough is enough, this thread is now closed.

If you are genuinely looking for help, do as viewfly said, get it replaced.

Oh thanks for defining patronize for me.
