Tips to improve call sound quality on Android phones using VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling
Key points
- VoLTE routes calls over 4G data networks for clearer sound.
- Wi-Fi calling uses Wi-Fi to process calls, reducing cellular network reliance.
- These features provide HD voice and faster call connections.
- Settings for these features vary by Android device manufacturer.
Enhancing Android Call Quality
Android phone users can make adjustments to improve the sound quality of their calls. Beyond basic maintenance like cleaning microphones, several built-in features can significantly enhance audio clarity and connection speed during phone conversations.
The effectiveness of these improvements can be influenced by factors outside the user's control, such as the other caller's signal strength or environment. However, focusing on device-specific settings allows users to optimize their outgoing call quality.
Utilizing VoLTE for Clearer Calls
Voice over LTE (VoLTE) is a technology that routes phone calls over a high-speed 4G data network, rather than older 2G or 3G networks. This method provides clearer sound, HD voice capabilities, and faster call connection times. A similar technology for 5G networks is called Voice over New Radio (VoNR).
To enable VoLTE, users typically navigate to their phone's 'Settings', then 'Network & Internet', followed by 'Mobile network', and finally toggle on 'VoLTE calls'. On Samsung devices, the path is 'Settings' > 'Connections' > 'Mobile Networks' > 'VoLTE calls' or 'VoNR'. The exact naming of this setting may vary between different Android devices.
Benefits of Wi-Fi Calling
Wi-Fi calling offers another method to improve call quality by routing calls through a Wi-Fi network. This process converts voice into digital packets that are sent securely over Wi-Fi to the carrier's network for processing.
Using Wi-Fi calling can lead to better call quality due to increased coverage, fewer cellular obstructions, and reduced network congestion. Users can typically enable Wi-Fi calling through 'Settings' > 'Network & internet' on their Android device.
