This is a *deal killer* for me. I have been trying to move back to Ubuntu for well over a year but the same problem happens. I apoloize for not logging sooner the details. I confirm that there is bad sound quality, but in my case, I figured something else out that may solve some things here. I discovered that the speaker phone button nearly fixes it. Therefore, they are reversed! So, the microphone, in speakerphone mode is operating the way that it should in regular mode and vice versa. I confirmed by holding the phone far away from my face in regular mode and everyone can hear me quite well. Then, when i put it in speakerphone mode, no one can hear me. They all report that I'm impossibly quiet. So, it seems that in the case of my phone all that needs to happen to fix this is to put it the way it should. Swap the modes for the mic.
In addition to the above deal killer (i can't walk around town with all my calls on speakerphone mode!) the sound also isn't perfect as reported above.

Several people can confirm that there is a noticable difference in terms of sound/microphone quality between Android and UT in phone calls. With UT, my voice gets distorted to an extent that person at the other end have real difficulties to hear what I am saying, while with Android call quality is much better with no distortion. I have had a suspicion for a long time that this might be a software and not a hardware issue. After trying Android and Ubuntu on the same hardware I believe this suspicion is proved correct. This issue has persisted in all the builds I have tried since at least the beginning of the year, but probably longer. I am now at r17 of Utopic.
