[QtMoko] Call quality

2009-10-29 Thread Denis Johnson
Just made my first QtMoko V14 based call, FR A5 with buzzfix - IPhone
and the other party struggled to understand me, they said somewhat
faint and very crackly/broken up. I heard the other party clearly
although I think I would have preferred a little more volume.

I'm not sure if this is characteristic of QtMoko or just bad luck call
quality, however my previous experience with SHRU was fine.

Anyone else can report their call quality with QtMoko ?

You should probably copy your mixer settings from SHR to QtMoko
if it was better under SHR.

This sounds something like others experienced after changes to the
default shr alsa file - Try turning the Mike gain down a bit - it could
be overdriving (symptoms for me were fait audio, cracles and rushing
sounds like wind, but distant sounds came through clearly - if there was
ambient noise the FR was unusable).  Not sure how qtmoko controls the
gain, but for shr there are a number of files around

Yes but if you never changed them you may be able to find the default ones
on google.

I had the same problem than you until two days ago, when I spent some time
with my mother on the phone playing with alsamixer until she reported the
sound quality was allright. It took around 15 minutes, but she did not
complain because I do not call here very often. So maybe you also know
someone whom you should call more often ... :-)

ok,  I did end up changing them Inever had quality problems in shr
but things were faint so I tweaked until I got acceptable.
Fortunately I have a backup on my desktop machine. The
gsmhandset.state file I used in SHR is attached. But I am yet to try
it on QtMoko

sorry to reply to my own mail but I wanted to report back that I
retried a call to the same party after changing to my shr state file
and although they reported it to be an improvement they said they now
had echo at their end.

I wonder how all the distro guys decide what state files to include.
Surely we don't need each distribution making independent decisions on
this?
