I hear my own voice echo

Ask the person on the other end of the call to turn down the volume on his or her phone or to hold the phone closer to his or her ear.

My voice is too quiet on the other end

Be sure to place the bottom of the Treo smartphone, or the hands-free microphone, close to your mouth.

Check the signal-strength icon in the title bar of the Phone application’s Main View. If the signal is weak (few bars are displayed), try the suggestions about signal strength described in Signal strength is weak.

I hear static or interference

If you’re using a Bluetooth hands-free device, try the following:

Move your smartphone closer to the hands-free device. Audio quality degrades as the distance between your smartphone and hands-free device increases. The effective range for a device varies between manufacturers.

Confirm that no obstructions, including your body, are between the smartphone and your hands-free device.

TIP For best performance, keep your Bluetooth headset and phone on the same side of your body.

My smartphone hangs up when I hold it to my ear

You may be accidentally pressing the onscreen Hang Up All button with your cheek. Try holding the smartphone so that your face doesn’t press against the screen. If this is not convenient, you may want to disable the screen’s touch-sensitive feature during active calls (see Locking your screen).
