Why Is My Call Quality Poor, Dropping, or Silent?

This article helps you understand and fix call quality issues such as dropped calls, poor audio, echo, delay, or no sound during an active call.

First: Two Different Types of Call Problems

Not all call issues mean the same thing. Identifying the type helps fix it faster.

Dropped Calls

The call connects but ends suddenly without you pressing “End”.

Common causes include:

  • Unstable or weak internet connection

  • Network handovers (switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data)

  • The recipient losing signal during the call

Dropped calls are usually related to connection stability, not call setup.

Poor or Silent Call Quality

The call stays connected, but the audio is unclear or missing.

You may experience:

  • No sound or one-way audio

  • Echo or noticeable delay

  • Robotic, choppy, or distorted sound

These issues are most often caused by device settings or network quality.

What You Can Check and Try

Follow these steps in order:

1️⃣ Disconnect Bluetooth or headsets
Audio devices can interfere with call sound.

2️⃣ Check microphone permissions
Make sure Talk360 has access to your microphone.

3️⃣ Turn off Data Saver / Low Data Mode
These settings often cause audio loss or instability. *Data Saver (Android) or Low Data Mode (iOS) is one of the most common causes of silent, choppy, or unstable calls and should always be disabled for Talk360.*

4️⃣ Switch networks
Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data.

5️⃣ Restart the app and your device
This clears temporary audio or system issues.

Important to Know

  • Most call quality issues are device or network-related

  • These issues usually do not require escalation

  • Talk360 cannot control local internet quality or device settings
