HTC one S for T-mobile, purchased at Walmart.
I found the call quality to be very poor, rattling as if the earpiece speaker was blown out. You can hear it with call volume set to medium, and is amplified as you raise the volume. The call quality is decent if you keep the volume at lowest setting.
It sounds as if something is vibrating inside the earpiece when someone speaks. The quality is FAR from clear, especially at volumes above half setting.
I can even replicate the problem just by calling voicemail and listening to the options.
I exchanged the phone at Walmart for another One S, and still have the same problem. I have a iphone 4s which doesn't have this problem at all, and a 4 which only has the problem at highest volume setting.
Is this normal ?? I am about to return the phone for good. There is no way i can have a enjoyable conversation with anyone for more than 2 mins. I rather make calls on my $20 prepaid phone.
