Low quality audio with bluetooth headset during phonecalls (+whatsapp calls)

[serl]

Hello,
I have the Huawei FreeBuds 3i and the call quality is not great (people complaining on the other side as well).

After some digging, I understood it to be a codec problem, as some said already in this topic (that is: HFP). Looks like we need aptX to have good quality with calls on Android (even worse, there are many flavors of aptX and not all of them seem to support HD calls).

Then I read this:

Changing bluetooth audio codec

Update (relevant parts + a typo corrected): I apologize for the long wait and for the answer that will follow. After my umpteenth request I have to accept that I am not able to satisfy your request, neither can anyone else. Being still a small company we constantly need to reassess our priorities. At this moment, we do not have the available resources to examine why, several years ago, someone made the decision to not include high-quality audio codecs. It might have been related to budget, …

So, in conclusion, if my understanding of the issue is correct, good quality calls with FP3 and bluetooth are not something we can have right now, but they may be added by a software update (depending on your headset model).

Please tell me that I’m wrong
