The mic is unmuted and feeding back into the headphones during calls. When i scratch the mic with my thumb or adjust the volume rocker on the headset i hear the amplified scratching and clicking noises in my ears. When i talk directly into the mic, i hear my amplified voice.
It's NOT an ECHO... It's like when you pickup a landline telephone handset in your home. The mic is wired into the speaker and you're hearing your own voice piped back thru the speaker. Try scratching or blowing air on the mic of an old school landline phone and you'll hear it thru the speaker amplified in your ear.
This is what I'm talking about. My Galaxy S3 as well as most other Cell phones never used to do this. Why now? What's the purpose? So you can hear your own voice in noisy environments maybe? Doesn't seem truly necessary, more annoying than helpful imo.
EDIT: I went to the Sprint store and tested both my stock note5 headset as well as my bose headset on ALL new samsung phones and they ALL exhibit this same issue. When I asked the tech about it, she scoffed and said, "They are supposed to do that!"
So nobody gives a **** or has any clue about this?

Having some difficulty with my Jawbone 2 and WM6.1 Hypergragon Rom.
The main issue is that calls come in and they are getting answered as soon as it starts audio in my ear, It rings maybe a half ring in my ear and then it connects without hitting any buttons.
The other thing it does is it seems when I hang up from a call, I hear a short tone and it seems like it might be disconnecting, then connecting to the bluetooth.
Any ideas?

Man, I guess everyone left.
I have a Jawbone 2 as well and I dont have the issue at all. It sounds like the button on your jawbone is stuck.

I also have some trouble with my jawbone mainly just sound quality does anyonehave any advice on any twicks to make the sound quality better
I returned my Jawbone because the sound quality was so bad on my Tilt. I have had 4 bluetooths (blueteeth?) now and have finally settled on the best one hands down. The Plantronics Discovery 925....the absolute best in sound quality and loudness and it fits INSIDE your ear, it doesn't hang off your ear loosely dangling - expensive but well worth it. 120.00
I'm not sure if anyone else has had this, but this is the first phone i've come across with this issue...
Whenever I'm gaming or something and my phone rings, I instantly pick up and balance it between my ear and my shoulder when i talk (you know, like old school phones when multitasking)...
But whenever i do this people say i sound like I'm talking in a tin can...
Is the second Mic (to drown out background noise) to blame?
make sure that mic isnt blocked. if you put it on your shoulder it will happen
No matter how I hold the phone people complain about this.
People have actually asked me what kind of ****ty phone/reception I have because the audio quality is so bad.
it may be a bad mic. have you always had this? maybe you should call gtc because all the major phone reviewers noted the nexus had one of the best quality calls of any phone. it should not sound that bad
Mine sound great at least. I know this since both me and my brother has a N1. Really good sound quality from my experience.
I've read this same issue before on the Google Android forum. Apparently it has something to do with the secondary mic and how the shoulder conducts sound thereby activating the noise cancellation of your own voice.
I also talk this way and don't have this issue atleast no one complaint.
I am waiting for my warranty replacement due to come in today.
Will report if that fixes it.
Have you guys tried using like a bluetooth headset or wired set to see if it's really the mic issue?

Thats the conclusion i came to... guess i'll start looking into a Bluetooth headset
i can use voice recording or voice to text just fine. i can also make phone calls in speaker phone mode just fine. but when i turn speaker phone off the person on the other end can BARELLLLLY hear me
ugh so i've been trying to test it
i left myself some voicemails using the phone
if i talk normal i hear nothing with an occasional click or something. if i take my finger and rub it on the noise canceling mic while talking i can sort of hear myself talking but its really low and garbled sounding, and of course if i switch to speakeprhone then i hear myself fine
this sucks, its obviously some kind of software issue. does the phone not use the secondary mic for noise canceling during speakerphone? that would explain the issue i guess.

The mic on my first N1 was broken so it might be a hardware issue.
its either software or the secondary mic is broke and is causing it to filter out everything, because the main mic works great on speakerphone
this sucks
Whenever I talk on my Bluetooth headset, everyone can hear everything that's going on in the background. I have tried 6 different noise cancelling headphones and they all have the same problem. Is there fix or workaround?
If i understand you right, you have the Problem, that People can hear Backgroundnoises, when you phone them ? If so..
I own 2 BT Headsets. One with active Noise cancelling (Beoplay H9i) and for my understanding, the noise cancelling is only for your ears. Means that someone wich you call, cant hear the effect of cancelling. Only you can have this effect.
But if you meant, that overall no Noise cancelling works with your device, maybe sound like stupid question..but did you ativated this function on each headset ?
Did anyone notice that during a call, the other person barely hear? low-volume microphone... He said that I sound like talking far away... I need to speak very close to the mic to hear myself well....
