I just recently bought my Gnote from Newegg and found there is an echo when I make phone calls. I think the phone is a French version since there were french written on the phone box. Now it's just the people on the other line that can hear the echo. I narrowed it down to the mic on top of the phone. When I cover that mic hole, there is no more echo for the other person.
I'm wondering if my phone is defective or is there a setting that I can change to stop this. I tried turning off the noise reduction and that help reduce the echo a bit. The phone case I have on it doesn't seem to be affecting the echo. Has anyone else have this problem? Phone was already unlocked from the box so I assume it's been rooted. Please help.
I haven't noticed any issues with my Note so far but if your phone has already been rooted maybe its a software issue. Have you tried using a different software for it, perhaps one of the roms on the forum here. I am currently using rocket v8 with abyss note kernel 2.1 and things are great. I'm no expert but it's worth a try.
I also have this echo issue. This is especially the other end who notice this. I use a Swiss Sunrise SIM card. I tried another SIM from Swisscom and no echo. So i call Sunrise who is working on this.
So at the moment i cannot tell if this is a Gnote or Provider problem.
I will try the Mic suggestion but i thought Gnote has only one Mic??
Where are these Mic located?
I found where are these Mic located. In the quick guide comming with Gnote it is said that top Mic is used only when Speaker or video recording are activated.
Maybe this Top Mic is actvated all the time! How can it be deactivated?

Look here, same issue...

During the call, you need to go to menu and turn off noise reduction. This will solve the echo problem but is only set for that call, ie you need to do this every time.
There is a MOD for this:

However.. since I upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.6 this problem seems to have disappeared for me.

I am GB 2.3.6, and i still have this echo issue.
Same problem here but only a few times. Thought the echo was caused by coverage reception?
Its mostly caused due to RAM shortage,e.g.if a large or too many applications are running in the background at the time when the call came in.
I've had this echo issue for the callers in the other end from when I got my Note in December. Two version of GB and now finally ICS and the problem is still there. Today I went to the service center and the changed a lot of parts in the phone (mainboard, mic, receiver ...) and when I got home the problem was still there. I've been troubleshooting this for a few hours and found that using the phone without any case has the problem, with a case it's worse. And, when I remote the back cover of the phone, the problem goes away completely. Anyone else still have the problem and experiencing the same thing? Just call someone, confirm the echo and then remove the back cover of the phone, for me that resolves the problem completely every time. So, what did Samsung do wrong here? Are the sound travelling in the back cover from the speaker to the bottom microphone? Are there any pressure made by the back cover which cause this? Why is the problem worse when I add a case on the phone?
My solution to echo
I had the same problem. My solution is/was simple -- hold the earpiece tight into your ear. The echo for the receiver goes away.
The echo was caused by the phone picking up the sound from the Note's earpiece. I always have the phone on max volume so this made it the worst.
Latest CM9 nightly turns dual mic off by def.. Fixes echo.

I got my phone completely fixed today. After realizing that removing the back cover fixed the issue, we also found that removing the pen fixed the issue. So, replaced all back plastic, new back cover and new pen, still problem wasn't fixed. So only thing not replaced was the screen, replaced the screen and problem was fixed. The service-tech told me after that the antenna part from my phone and the new parts was different. I had one of the first batches Note's that came to my country. Now the phone is perfect, even when I have it in a case which did amplify the problems before.

My note developed this problem after my charging post was replaced by the authorized service center. Probably something happened when they opened it and re fixed. When I complained of the echo problem they reluctantly took the phone but only to return it after hard reformatting which did not solve the problem.
I noticed the the following:
1. Echo disappears if the phone is pressed hard to ear thus preventing sound from reaching secondary mike.
2. No echo if back is removed and used exposing battery, etc. I am still puzzled by this as sound should still be traveling from speaker to mike.
3. After several weeks of experimentation, hundreds of test calls, reading several posts (many gave placing pieces of visiting card over speaker and mike after opening up the phone and closing the phone-it did not work for me even after several attempts), I found a solution which worked well.
4. Close/seal the secondary mike hole at the top with a sellotape and test. and it worked well. Then I opened up the phone (9 screws, removing back with priser, etc) and placed a small piece of vising card strip inside the mike hole and closed the phone. Thus no unsightly taspe is visible. You can even sell it in second hand market if you haste your phone!
No problem ever since. You can testy it yourself as it is easy to place the tape.
My experience
Sorry for my englisn. I wanna share my experience of fighting with the same echo problem in my note3. I tryed to solve problem about mounth. I have stock rom no rooted. When android changed to kitkat I anderstood that problem was in hardware. I opend my phone and tryed to isolate upper microphone. No effect. Yesterday I brought my phone to service. Master assessed upper and lower microphones by *#0*#. I heard myself that lower microphone was much more queit. He cleared canal of lower microphones and problem was solved!

I tried to call for the 1st time today.
When I call to someone, or vice versa, other party can hear me, while I hear nothing at all via ordinary phone speaker (on the front side). Volume changes does nothing.
If I tap "Speaker" - I can hear other party via another speaker (on the rear side of the device).
If I plug the headset in - agian, it works normally as supposed.
Is my phone speaker broken or do I miss something? I played with every settings I could find, but nothing helps...
Did anyone have the same problem?
Acer Liquid, 1.6 orginal rom. I didn't have a chance to reinstall rom yet, so it should be just fine. I did install a few apps from Market.
I had exactly the same problem.
I was using ROM LCR 1.6.
I have just reflashed my phone and still the same problem, I think it is broken.
I've bought my Acer Liquid two months ago!
sounds like a hardware problem with the phone speakers. Normal calls should be heard through the speakers above the screen. speakerphone/ringtones/media sounds go through back speakers.
Had the same issue- returned it for another one.
@
I had a same problem. My phone speaker does not work.
Hi guys,
Just to let you know. I contacted Acer and they immediately told me that I need to send the phone to them for repair. (maybe it's a know issue).
I did that. 3 weeks after got the phone back. It works fine now.
On the paper I got with the phone they said that the part changed is "reciever"
So for those who have the problem - send your phone back.

I encountered this problem today....
I thought it was a hardware problem...
A Full Wipe cleared the issue..
You should try a full wipe before conclude that its a hardware issue...
I had this problem as well on my Acer Liquid E. Mine was a hardware issue, as when i would grip it tightly or press on the earpiece I would get intermittent sound but there was static. I did 4 wipes and nothing solved it.

Sry for that! Just don't grip it tight

I have fixed the hear speaker
Hi all! I had this problem with my Acer Liquid, I had no warranty so I tried to solve the problem and succeeded. It's not software or configuration, it's a broker hear speaker!
Symptom: You can hear the person on the other end with Loud Speaker, Bluetooth Headset and Hear Phones but you can't hear via the Hear Speaker.
Problem: Broken Hear Speaker.
His problem is reported all over the Internet but with no solution beside sending to Acer.
I risked and fixed it myself by dissembling my Liquid and find a compatible hear speaker.
Big Problem: No spares parts anywhere for this device.
Solution: Blind search for a spare hear speaker by looking at pictures and compare with broken one.
Big Solution: This speaker is also used on a series of iPaq (HP) PDA's and i found a website that sells them quite cheap.
I found two compatible models of speaker and i leave the links here.
I bought these two:
www*repairhppda*com/front-speaker-for-hp-ipaq-voice-messenger-p-1822.html
www*repairhppda*com/internal-speaker-for-ipaq-910-912-914-910c-912c-914c-p-1235.html
!! I can't post links so remove the * and put dots on the links.
I've only used one so can't say which i used because they are very similar, but one of them works for sure the other i can't guaranty but I'm almost sure it also works.
(it seems like it could fit but don't know and can't confirm... did not buy this one)
I disassembled my Acer Liquid, replaced the hear speaker, and Bang! It' Works!
Notes: Be careful when disassembling your liquid you could easily break something, take steps slowly and carefully.
If you need any hint, speak here, i'll try to answer as soon as possible.
Cheers!
I am having another problem. The people from the other side hardly hear what I say, they say my phone is too noisy, especially at the beginning of the call. The quality is ok for me, I can hear everything very clearly.
I don't know if it is a hardware problem or just (hopefully) a problem with the baseband or something like that.
I have the same problem.
I tried to flash a different baseband and apparently it started working ok but after a while the noise was back again.
The strange thing is that the noise seems to pop up only when I call from certain places and not from others.

Yes, it's a very annoying problem. Since the other party cannot hear me clearly, now I have to go back to my HTC Touch HD until I found a solution for this.
I bought this Acer Liquid as a 2nd hand one without invoice, so there is no way to return to Acer for a repair service.
Yesterday I received a call and I couln't ear anything, then I tried to callback (thinking it was a network problem) and I still couldn't ear anything. I used the loudspeaker and it was working, also plugged my headphones and I could ear the other party.
I then called Acer complaining, they told me the phone needed to be repaired (the quickness on the response made me think this is somehow usual), that I should put it in a box with the RMA code written on it and that they would send me DHL to pick it up. Today DHL picked the phone, so far everything as been dealt really fast and I can't anyhow complain on Acer support, lets just see how long it will take till I get my phone back.
Hey guys,
Bit of a strange problem, recently my speakerphone has stopped working. Whenever I place a call on speakerphone the other party can hear their own voice echo and this becomes progressively worse over a couple of seconds till neither parties can hear each-other and its just a loud fuzz.....everything else on the phone is working perfectly! It's never been dropped or anything...its still in immaculate condition! I am running the latest firmware (UK) and it's started happening randomly....any ideas on how to fix?:crying:

I got the exact same problem and no solution so far. I've tried various rom versions (4.4.x - 5.0.2 and CyanogenMod Nightly), but it didn't help, so I'm afraid it's a hardware thing.
I don't know if you also experienced that, but if I let noise cancellation (in setting) enabled my calling partner also does hear an echo and my voice is much quieter, without using the speakerphone.
In my case it's possible that I damaged the phone my self, since I had to replace my whole case and the lcd, after falling damage.
I would appreciate it if someone could tell me which part exactly is causing this problem.
I had to change thel unit also due to the touchscreen bering cracked.
Speakerphone, or 'audio output', is not working. Although I might have had this problem before. I can't remember.
I read on another forum that the bottom speaker only comes on when on speakerphone.
So I'm thinking maybe damaged it while repairing the replacement lcd unit.
I hope this is not the case. I have yet to do a factory reset. Just need a bit a spear time to do it.
I have this problem too.
I broke my screen and i replaced it with a new screen(including LCD) by myself, and after that the speakerphone stopped working. It's so strange because microphones and Speakers work ( i have tested it in *#*#7378423#*#*).
Mah!
My replacement lcd came within a new case without the back panel. All I had to do was place the motherboard in the new case.
The new case had a bottom loud speaker already in it. I have, last week, opened the phone up again and replaced it with the original speaker. Unfortunately, still cant get the speakerphone to work.
I will try an reset one day , once i make a note of my apps and back updata.
Has anyone tried a reset yet?
Bought Xperia Z3C and from the first day some calls didn't work well... Others couldn't hear me about 60-70% of the calls, sometimes they heard like strong wind is blowing into the mic and when I put the call on loudspeaker then it worked, they heard me loud and clear.
So I took the phone back and ordered a new one, cause I really like Z3C, even more, if it would work with no problems
So my new, second Z3C, same green beauty - but same problem! I tried repairing with the first phone and tried doing the tests, neither helped. Only this time about half of the calls act like that. Sometimes if I put the call on speaker and then back, it works again, but not always.
So my question would be - Has anyone else had this kind of problem? And if so, what did You do? Is there even anything to do? Is it hardware or software?
There is no other phone I would like but it would be silly for me to try the same thing third time.
sorry to hear that,i guess that when you take the calls ,you cover the loudspeaker at the bottom of the phone
Sent from my D5833 using XDA Free mobile app
Similar thing happened to me, I had to yell first few days untill I discovered I had a bad habit from old mobile phone.
When i talk and holding the phone, my thumb is on the one side, three fingers on the other side, but that little finger is on the bottom, like i hold the phone not to slip down.
And the mic is positioned exactly so my little finger would cover it. That was my reason people couldn't hear me.
I doubt it's your case, but try to see if you do the same thing
Agree with others -- the mic is in a slightly odd place and I had to adjust the way I hold the phone to avoid blocking it in some way. Aren't the mics usually on the bottom left instead of the bottom right like the Z3c?
exact same problem

I have the same problem in All voice communication apps and normal calls.
If i test the microphone at The built in test i get no problem but in skype, Facebook and All other things that uses my Mic it cuts off and makes a windy sound. I was allmost ripping my own head off in anger and confusion because everybody i call is making me say things 5 - 10 times. And now i see im not the only one... What to do? Great phone beside that and headphone and aux volume is adjusting it self..

I had this kind of a problem on the latest firmware (.77) sometimes. How about you try downgrading to an older firmware? Like the .93 firmware which can also be rooted

Got the same problem. After disabling "noise cancellation" (not sure how it's named in English FW) in settings > Call problems is resolved.
But now everyone hears everything within range of the main mic and thats not cool.
Can anyone confirm its related to 23.0.1.A.5.77 Firmware?
On previous version didn't had any issues except phone went underwater and died, and new one is already on the newest fw ;/
Don't want to do root due to guarantee issues after this.

+1 the same issue,
serviceman flushed the original firmware twice
nothing helped, they even refused to refund saying that they can not identify the problem .
Farewell guaranty, I'll try CM mb that will help.
The problem is floating, suspect bad mic contact or bad capacitor installed.
both require disassembling for proof.
Service tests shows that mic is ok.
Does anyone know how to get voltage\capacity curves from mic without disassembling ? mb some test pins on the back ?

You had issues with the main mic - I do not have (luckilly) such an issue. Only 2nd has some problems, but if I launch service tests it records sounds fine. With different quality than 1st mic but records properly.
Mine was recording fine in service tests also (replay sounded ok), but it was apparently not sufficient in calls. I think the service test is very sensitive, with my repaired unit I can whisper at 10 cm and still perfectly understand on the recording.

1) Tried both, no difference
2) Tested microphone
Microphone in Z3C is the worst part of the phone
Im also have problems, or people Im talking to via phone, cause previous phone which I still have - SGS 5 mini - has very sensitive mic.
Both my phones are watter proof, also has special membrane, but when Im callling one to another difference are HUGE.
I checked 2 phones of my friends, and thier Z3C's have the same sensitivity, but the dont complain, as suppose they are usualy yelling
In SGS5mini I can rotate phone around the ear and still very louldy and clearly someone can hear me, thera are little diffrences ofcourse, but in Z3C where even when Im trying to have microphone close to mouth sound is much quieter - moving the phone little bit and conversation can be irritating.
It already pissed me off 3 times so much that I ended conversation, because of complaining of the other people.
P.S. Before someone will ask - yes, I disabled noise cancelling function from the begining, also trying different sound settings in call and sound menu.
SOLVED - at least in my case
What I did till today was:
disable any sound "improvements" in menu
cleaning microphone hole with compressed air
After test I saw little improvement, but still I was merely heard by other caller.
Looking mixer_paths.xml tried few times changing parameters and found the right one to rise sensitivity of internal mic.
Below are unchanged section that I'm talking about - in bold specific value that we can rise.
Code:
<path name="handset-mic">
<path name="adc4" />
<!-- 67 % of 124 (range 0 - 124) Register: 0x231 -->
<ctl name="DEC3 Volume" value="[B]83[/B]" />
<!-- 63 % of 19 (range 0 - 19) Register: 0x15F -->
<ctl name="ADC4 Volume" value="12" />
</path>
I choose value=92 as this found to be still safe (don't use to high values as it can damage your device) and I'm pretty happy now of my Z3C
Prepared MOD for this change to apply from recovery.
I've sent mine for repair. They said everything is ok, since repair service does not test calling in real life - just service tests, where this issue is impossible to catch. Had to ask them for "special" test - calling from my phone to somebody, and checking the difference between Noice cancelling feature turned on and off.
Hi any mod for stock ?
My wife have z3c everything was fine just one day start cut off world etc.
Will try with disabled reduce noise option
Any other solution ?
Guys I had the same problem, solved it today
Mine was running latest android 5.0.2(23.1.A.1.28) Z3 compact.
In my Music application(Walkman app updated to Music)-settings-Audio Settings- Mic sensitivity set to High.
Other person can hear me crystal clear
I suspect this is a Bluetooth related issue. I have my Bluetooth always on and when driving and calling there is no issue on car kit. I found an workaround, when calling before connected I press loudspeaker and mute unmute
HI,

Did you increase earpiece volume by changing values in some system file?
I did
But I think it never worked since I didn't find files placed in that flashable zip file in phone's system and earpiece sound didn't change after flashing

Thet is strange. I am going to tell my story. I changed the values for higher, because the volume was low. After that the caller could hear himself while calling and the volume wasn't significantly higher and was definitely lower quality (because the speaker was blasting 140% of its capacity). Going to the phone repair store was much better option. The guy disassembled the phone and cleaned it from the inside and that fixed the problem.
From the other side maby the flashable zip added or changed something making the echo effect appear for you.
@wojtek007pl I didn't change parameters manually but flashed a file, do you have original system files for mixer_paths and mixer_paths_tasha?
Everything with mixer in name, but from oreo. You can try to change whole file, or look for major differences. If this doesn't work you can try to get it from somebody else. If it makes no difference than I don't know what to do.

I don't think there is huge probability the repair men would break anything, because the disassemble process is pretty straightforward and the guy cleaned my speaker on the go in 30 minutes and took little to no money (that is random local to me repair store in Poland). You can buy spare speaker cheap on ebay from china (which is probably not an option now considering the virus situation). But if you run the original mixer files and if you test with low and high volume and there is the same echo (with the same volume) then probably hardware is not the problem and I don't know what is. On some site i saw a post suggesting to turn off okay google on any screen to fix the issue, but the rest of the post say that most likely some holes on the phone are covered/clogged, so I would probably head to the repair store, tell about the problem and suggest cleaning all the possible holes most importantly the earpiece speaker grill.
Btw how old is your phone?

I don't think there is huge probability the repair men would break anything, because the disassemble process is pretty straightforward and the guy cleaned my speaker on the go in 30 minutes and took little to no money (that is random local to me repair store in Poland).

It's 3 yrs old, I bought it second hand a month ago
I tried cleaning 2nd mic hole and it made it better, but still there is echo problem
I think both hardware and software problems together made this echo, since some users reported they fixed that problem after hard reset or by flashing leanage os

My moms OP3 had this problem, it went away when I dismantled the phone and completely cleaned the speaker, apparently the sound is bounced on all dirt and wanders inside the phone and down to the microphone and gets heard by the other part.

Hi,
Has anyone have such problem with speakerphone during phone (or whatsapp/viber etc) call that
All MIC's passes tests OK, record and then play my voice very well and loud.
But when I call someone or someone call to me and I active speakerphone to put phone away from my ear - there are mess like echoes, some robotic voice like signal excitation and interference started each time for person on the other end of the line. Person hears himself more often than my voice. So it's impossible to talk normally on speakerphone. I hear companion very good, but for him it's mess. But if I deactivate speaker and use earphone (in front of my ear) - then everything is ok for me and person on the line.
Does anyone know what could be wrong? Problem persists on each FW which means that problem is hardware. I checked all mics in ,12345+= test utility. Every single microphone is ok. But it seems that when they work together - sometihng is going wrong. There are 3 mic's in this phone. First one is located on board 90AI0060-R10010 (bottom left corner), and this part can be replaced, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Second one is located in top upper part on main board and it looks like it can only be repaced by replacing motherboard which is cost a lot of $$$ which is not acceptable for devices not covered by warranty anymore (unlocked BL). Third mic installed on board 90AI0060-R10020 under back cover (where rear camera is located) and also can be replaced, price about 10USD.
But where is controller/unit which operate by these mic's?
Is there anyone who has or had such problem? What part(-s) were replaced is service under warranty?
Hi
I hat similar problems. I tried a lot of adjustments at the apps and the phone. Set the phone to factory settings. Nothing helped. Even the upgrade to Android 12 didn't change anything. Finally I sent it for warranty repair to Asus workshop and now I am waiting to get it back. Hopefully tomorrow I can tell you the result.

Ok, please also let me know (if possible) what part(-s) will be replaced.
There are 3 microphones in our phone. And I guess two of them are operate during phone calls on speaker. Main mic on sub-board which is located at the bottom of phone and second one - noise-canselling MIC which is located on motherboard (top part of phone).
Hi, today I've got it back. The workshop protocol says they made a firmware reset (same I already did before and told them). And the result is, the fault is still the same. This was second time I sent it for repair. First time the WLAN module broke down. They changed the motherboard and after getting it back from the asus workshop the the speakerphone function didn't work any more. You can see, there are absolutely specialist at work.
