Voice echo when using phone - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

A few people have commented to me that when I am speaking to them on my XDA IIs, my voice is very echoy to them. My guess is the mic must be picking up sound from the speaker even though I have the telephone volume a few notches below loudest.
Anyone had similar comments?

I have the exact same problem, someitmes they(ppl I call) say thet its better when I reduce the speaker volume its better but still kind of echoes....
i dont think there is anything that can be done about this,

this happens sometimes on other phones as well. my P800 for example.
although it's just an intermittent event.

[Q] EB13 Sound Issue

So someone just called me, and I could barely hear the ringing. I checked the Volume settings, and I had ringer volume all the way up.
Then, I noticed that the ringing was coming out of the earpiece instead of the speakerphone speaker.
Here's where it gets weird, though... Someone just called me as I was writing this post, and the ring came out of the speakerphone speaker like it's supposed to...
Additionally, when I'm using my new Samsung bluetooth headset that worked just fine before the update, i can hear the person I'm calling, but they can't hear me.
Is anyone else having weird audio issues?
Yes, I am having similar issues. All audio comes through the earpiece. Very annoying as I like listening to music on speaker phone but I can barely hear it through the earpiece. I hope there is a fix for this soon.
I am lucky I do not have this issue, but I think they were trying to prevent all of the blown speaker issues that have been posted about. Just a guess. Maybe this earpiece issue is a side effect
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
same problem
hopefully someone can look at this and fix it

[Q] In call microphone volume low

The microphone volume is very low on my dhd, people can barely hear me when I call them. The sound is also low when I use a voice recording app. When I plug in an external mic the sound is fine though.
I've been looking for a solution for this for a while, does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm running MIUI 1.5.20, but I had issues when I was using the stock ROM.
Yes i have this problem, often people complain they can't hear me any good.
However if i turn the phone with backside towards me they can hear fine so i guess it's a design fault that they place the microphone at the back, why?
Did anything ever come of this? It's just that I am experiencing the exact same issue

Anyone else notice this issue with headset?

When I plug in the headset in it's dead quiet but the minute I start dialing a number from the keypad I immediately hear like faint white noise. I even hear it when on a call, although again it's faint compared to the level of the call itself. Same thing with music although the music drowns it out. Can anyone else confirm the same.
I remember there being a link posted from Anandtech where they tested this phone with the inclusion of the Yamaha chip for audio and noticed this issue. Has something to do with the noise floor in relation to insufficient shielding.
When I used the headset for calls on the Sensation I had none of this, just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.
Thanks
I noticed the same thing... Its a bit distracting.... Since its a hardware
issue, I doubt we'll see a fix.

[Q] Earpiece buzzing at louder volumes

Has anyone else experienced a problem where the earpiece buzzes when the volume reached a high enough level? For me it happens during the loud part of a word when someone is talking (typically the beginning to the middle of the word), and on the highest two in-call volume settings. I can crank it down two notches and the issue disappears, but it just seems unlikely to me that the highest two settings would be unusable.
I got the same issue too, but only with certain callers though. The worst is when I call *611 to Verizon customer service and listen through the automated rep/music. It would create a buzz or static/distortion sound in the earpiece. Kinda annoying, but luckily I use the bluetooth headset 99% of the time. I just tested the earpiece today on a normal call and can confirm to you that I got similar problem, but again on certain callers only.
Can anybody else confirm this?

Echo on messaging voice calls (whatsapp, kakaotalk)

Hey, did a search but didn't see anything. I have a G7 running ULM20e (sprint cross flashed).
When I'm on a call using Whatsapp or Kakaotalk, the other party can hear their own voice (echo). I never hear any; it's perfect for me. When I switch to speakerphone and keep the volume low, then they DON'T get the echo. With earphones plugged in (iphone style earbuds), they still hear the echo.
Does this sound like a software issue?
I installed a mic app to record voice/sound and when I speak into it, it's fine. No echo, so the mics are operating properly.
Weird, and the gf is getting annoying.. sigh
Posting my fix for future reference. After some research and lots of software testing (tried 3 differen roms, Oreo and Pie), I believed it to be a "hardware" issue. On youtube, I saw a video that described a fix and I basically did that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkcxzmCPFWw
I took soft foam and covered the areas around the bottom microphone with it. Both underneath the plastic shield (boombox speaker) and above (just under the back panel). It has reduced the echo to 10-15% of the amount before, but not completely eliminated. I think I can live with that for now.
