HD-Voice Codec via 3G

[marcel45]

Hello everyone,

is it normal, that a Sony Xperia Z2 Mobile do not support HD-Voice Codec? That is a shame, oh and btw, my Network Operator Supports HD-Voice on 3G, and I have a excellent 3G coverage , and no, I don't have issues here with my network. Well, it do not supports native videocall, but at least I expect HD-Voice calling with a premium mobile. My old Nokia C7 does it also.

You are only telling me all the time the same, but I am saying it is not so. But you so I think, do not understand my question.

This seems all a bit confusing!

The Xperia Z2 LTE-A D6543/D6503 is on a GSA-maintained list of HD-Voice compatible phones:

The D6502 (non-LTE) variant does not seem to be on this list - is that the one that you have?

Also, I know that you said that Vodafone told you the phone is not supported, but Vodafone is advertising in some parts of the world that the Z2 is HD-Voice compatible, e.g.

http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/contracts-and-deals/sony-xperia-z2/sku79728-white (see "Specifications" tab)

Not sure what the issue is - but your best bet to get clarity is via Sony, or ask Vodafone in your country why they are advertising in UK/NZ (and maybe elsewhere) that the phone is HD-Voice compatible if they now claim it is not...

@Fuzzylan

Thank you! You are coming closer I am on Vodafone Germany. I have the Z2 with LTE.

If Vodafone in Germany is insisting the Z2 does not do HD Voice then you might ask them to read their own blog:

http://blog.vodafone.de/testberichte/das-sony-xperia-z2-im-test/

It includes the line: "Dank Unterstützung von LTE Category 4 und HD-Voice überträgt das Xperia Z2 Daten mit bis zu 150 Megabit pro Sekunde und führt Gespräche in glasklarer Qualität."

My German is pretty dodgy - but that would seem to suggest HD Voice support to me!

That is VoLTE... HD Voice in 4G, but it is not available for me, so 3G
