Everybody is complaining about echo issues when talking to me. I don't have any issues from my side, but my interlocutors say that they can hear themselves in their own phones.
This issue is present on both PACMan 22.3 (with various kernel versions) and the older CM10. Haven't tried stock firmware yet, but I think I will.
Has anybody had this issue?
I get a lot of people complaining about the Mic sounding muffled.
I call Vodafone today about the same thing and there sending me a new micro SIM to see if this helps.
Also the phone recently seems to drop calls a lot, but seeing that my Fiance has and iPhone And she's been having the dropped call problems as well I reckon it's the network.
Would seem to me though that the Mic is faulty with the phone. Going to see what the repair centre says I think.

Dear All,
First i want to thank each and everyone of you, Developers and users helping Each other to get best of the best of our phones.
I have a big problem on my Galaxy Note which is the ECHO if i call or receive a call it's the same a huge echo on both sides, i disable the noise in settings while in call it's a big better but the problem still (Echo)
I tried like 5 Roms from the forum here i also tried 3 Official firmwares but still (Echo)
I do appreciate a lot if someone can help me to fix this issue,
Regards.
I get this too. No idea why. Can hear my own voice

I get it too. Very irritating. Am using KK1 stock rom.

Yep, I am having the same issue. Its really irritating me too.
The problem had been described everywhere with no solution. The only way the echo is off, if the phone is on mute.
And yes, Noise Reduction does not help much either.
I can reproduce the issue with Skype, Viber and any other application as well. So this is not Phone app related. Phone calls are just not possible on this phone if you don't have a handsfree for me.
i only really have this issue with loudspeaker mode. this is mainly because the loud speaker is on the back of the phone, right at the bottom, and the microphone is on the bottom of the phone as well.

The echo is for the person calling me. I dont hear any echo on my Galaxy Note. Try calling from another phone and speak from it. I can hear myself from other phone when I call my Note.
I have the Same Problem.

On SGS2 there was echo problems with some protecting covers. Do you guys use any on your phones?
Also with a bright flashlight check the small microphone hole between the s pen and the usb connector for dirt.
I have zero echo problem with my Note.

I also had the same problem. I would not hear any echo at my end but the one on the other end would hear his/her own voice. Immediately took it to Samsung customer care and they fixed it for me.
Try keeping in call volume low.

Most eco is from protective cases take off case and try again worked for me for both sg2 and note
Nope I dont have any case on during my tests.
I have tried the low volume trick as well. There still is an echo. I read about an issue with the speaker mod done on Galaxy S 2, I might give it a go if nothing helps.
Its a pain to see such a beautiful device with this problem.

Y does i believe this b'coz note have extra mic on top, so if call volume high, that mic caches some voice of caller from nearby speaker.
So check by closing mic on top, n try if there is echo or not. if not, that cud b the only reason.

i got the same problem but .. the solution is to deactivate / disable noise reduction from settings while the call is running
so is there an app that would make "NR" OFF by default ?
hope some one can help us :/

It does help a little but one can still hear the echo.
I also noticed if I press the speaker area at the back of the cover and press it tightly, the echo is almost gone. I think there must be a software fix for it in later builds of Galaxy Note.
Right now I'm on JPKK2 build from UAE. I'm not sure applying non-direct rootable rom would make me lose my root. Probably the newere roms don't have the Echo issue as bad as in the previous ones.
Hi.
I have no problem with mine. however a couple of my friends had the same problem. when we took it back to the store, thy suggested to change the sim card. and believe it or not, it worked. I don't know what is the relation but it worked for both of them.

I'll try that out. I have another mobile line. I'll give it a go and see if it works with no issues.
TRUE !! it's from the SIM .. i changed it and the echo just GONE !
today i'll go to my provider and tell them to make me a new SIM with the same number
EDIT : i changed the SIM and the problem still exist ..

just take off the battery cover, it will work like charm...no echo on the other side
the producer should find a way to debug the echo issue, that's a shame.
Yea i have this problem too..construction problem maybe. On GB and ICS same ****

I am getting an annoying hiss in call when the other person talks whether they are on a land-line or another mobile. I have also traveled to a different towers to rule that out as well. There is no hiss when playing videos or mic recordings as some reported and turning on/off beats does not affect it. Is anyone else experiencing this? With that said the other persons voice is load and clear TY
My calls are very clear.

I've got the same problem as you. Seems as though the device is not filtering out static noise frequencies like it should be. Didn't have this problem on my EVO 4G LTE. Hopefully there is a firmware fix possible for this.

Thanks for the tip! I already got one on the way for a dead pixel / black speck on screen... but I gather almost half of them have that too so I'll just decide which of the two to keep and move on.
OTA 3.05.651.6 finally fixed this problem for me. Nine months late but better than never. Here's hoping they don't have a regression for this in the forthcoming kit kat upgrade!

After a few issues i managed to install the latest CM11 nightly on my att htc vivid (s-off) however today i noticed that my wired mic is not working when doing a call, the person i am calling can not hear me.
I checked the CM11 thread and it seems that there is at least another memeber that is experiencing the same.
Is there anything i can do? I have tried my iphone and galaxy s4 earbuds with the same results...
Anyone?

If you read through the forum you should find a number of other people having the same problem. I have seen a couple of people claim that Skullcandy buds do work, haven't heard any others.
I dont think it is an issue of the brand of buds
I have tried several types with the same results. Whats more, everything works fine when i use Vonage or Skipe, the other person can hear me without problems.
This issue only happens when i do a regular voice call. Rather than hardware, it seems like an issue on the voice call application in the phone
Hello all,
I have noticed that the calls (at least on Tmobile) are quite noisy / with hiss - both on the earpiece and the bluetooth headset. Anyone else noticed this?
I feel like I had a slight hiss noise where I hear in the background but it's intermittent, not continuous. I could be describing it wrong though. GPS 32gb.
A lot of peeps have this issue. There is a long thread about this. Most likely you got a bad unit. Good luck though i had 4 units have same issue.

I also hear this 'hiss' during phone calls. Also when I am playing a game, that I have muted all sounds for, the speakers keep giving empty noise.

I try a few fixes , disabling the google voice , change a few settings on mixer paths but the call quality and mic pickup is pretty bad. Was wondering if this is a hardware issue because a lot of posts has been up about how bad it is. I love this phone just got it but if this is the main issues that I used my phone =[. Any help or fixes I should check out because i have try many fixes.
I recently put a bug request up on their forums: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/noise-cancelling-mic-too-aggressive.477798/#post-15452631
It seems the mic is a bit aggressive with third party apps. Easy way to tell is to use the stock camera and record a quick audio clip, it should be fine. Then, in another app (Snapchat for me) take a quick video and you'll notice a lot of popping or distortion for any audio that's not close.
is this a hardware or software issue, do you think i should return it or keep it? if its a hardware issue then its not worth it

It appears to be software, however I've read the original OP3 had a similar issue that was never really addressed--at least not officially. I'd say when we start to see some ROM's pop up those devs will have it handled, but I can't say for sure.
To be honest if this issue only gets fixed by ROM developers of custom ROMs I assume the 3t will not get my new phone
I was hoping that this issue got already fixed in 3t's Software but apparently it's not.
And OnePlus seems to not put any afford into this issue
They don't seem to put any attention! "They are aware" Is all i see. No real progress that one "LTE ZIP" will take away wifi calling. Im ordering a new phone in the coming days and might go with the zte axon 7 limited edition.

I had the OPO which was great, then the OP3 which in CM14/14.1 there was an echo issue that the other side of the phone call would hear themselves, and now the OP3T has an issue with mic pickup in both regular calls and speakerphone. It feels like the quality is getting shoddy and the price is going up.
But I really don't understand why not more people are complaining about that. I read about that issue here in XDA first (but regarding the 3 and not the 3t). Then I really watched every review of the 3 on YouTube but the only one that was speaking about that problem was a German YouTuber (He is called SwagTab) in his review. No one else seemed to be aware of that problem (or didn't want to talk about it).
And I often read "it's a software problem". But why that problem hasn't been fixed already as it affects one if the essential parts of a smartphone: the microphone?
Don't know what I should think about that laziness or being unwilling to talk or fix that mess.
@bmwbasti When I had the OP3 it was narrowed down to we needed to wait for OnePlus to release the proprietary blobs for Android 7.x, but with OP3T it feels like laziness because they're still trying to please all the pissed off OP3 users and shafting the OP3T users in the process.
I think I haven't read anything about it but could it be that this issue is really fixes in the Nougat ROM that got released a few days ago for the 3? If so I could live with this issue until it's fixes in Nougat. But I think I will get my 3t not until Nougat is released anyway
Today is a sad day guys =[ i just RMA my one plus 3t , going to order the honor 8 they had an amazing sale for like 260$ i'm just going to see if i like the honor 8 , just going to be a temporary phone.. i mean why would such a good phone lack a bad mic =[
Very disappointed! The mic is a one of the most important parts of a phone. Ordered two one plus 3T devices but cancelled as soon as I came across this thread. Don't want to gamble with this.
Tried iPhone 7plus but miss my note 7. Want to go back to android, but can't find anything to substitute my note 7. Probably will go back to note 5.
Thanks to everyone who posted about this here

This seems to not be an issue while make a phone call "regulary" where your mouth is away only an inch of the microphone.
It seems to only happen when the "sound source" is not that near to the microphone as on calls.
I tested it myself with my son today. i sent him voice messages with WhatsApp. He said it's not that kind of clear like with my previous phone (HTC 10) but quality is still ok (while sound is muffled a bit) but it's so silent it's barely hearable when volume is set lower than 3/4. And he owns a HTC One M8 and that phone's speaker get really loud
Then i called him with WhatsApp but this time no messages but rather a voice call.
And now he said it's still not that clear than on my HTC 10 (but way clearer than before) but far louder and really good noticeable.
Topic: Really sad
Now there is a good amount of threads regarding this problem on OnePlus Bug Report section but it seems as if nobody of the staff cares about them...
My op3 is terrible every time I have gone to the service centre they would do a software reset and once changed the mic hardware but always acted as though I'm the only one with this issue. It's fine when I'm on speaker or through a headset but on a the normal phone mic the other end hears as though there's wind blowing
Almost all my callers complain that my voice is really muffled and they can't hear me well. Doesn't seem to matter if I have the phone to my ear, or using headphones. About 1/3 times, callers hear an echo of their own voice back at them, usually only for the first 30 seconds to a minute or so, then it stops. Really weird behavior and no idea if it's the mic or the radio or something else. Happens on all ROMS though. Started an RMA process to see if they can fix it. A chat rep hinted it might be a radio issue.
Phew glad mine is OK!
