This phone seems to be rather sensitive to 'parroting' in VoIP apps like Skype and CSIP. In fact the parrot is rather clear, much clearer than expected. It seems to be fine during regular voice calls.
Is this because the VoIP apps aren't handling the noise cancellation microphone correctly and it's feeding back through the line? Is there any fix to this aside from the echo cancellation built into the app?
I fear that there isn't too much you can do, apart from checking that both your and the party you are calling don't have their volume turned up too much - most echos on VOIP lines are caused that way in my experience.

Tilt2. Energy ROM (early Dec.).
Incoming quality usually seems very good.
Outgoing (and incoming) on the normal earpiece seems fine.
The speaker phone (on the back) is horrible. The other person says it sounds like I am talking in a cave/echo. I guess this means it is like a very bad speakerphone and the other person knows it is a bad speakerphone and it is annoying to him.
The speaker phone (on the front) is better but not as good as advertised.
When I use a wired headset (HTC) the other person says it sounds muffled.
I have not tried any of the AudioPara cabs I shave een in other threads because these seem to fix volume control and right now I do not think that is my issue.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
What setting have you found that work well for you? Callers are reporting horrible echos, and I can't seem to work them out.
Also, does't really work at all over 4G, I can hear them fine, but my voice cuts in and out. Tested it while getting 20/16 with 30ms pings.
I am using it with the GSM GN on T-Mo and have had no complaints on 3G/H+/WiFi.
I have Echo Cancellation enabled + Post Processing and Auto detect for the Echo Tail
Speaker Volume at +1
Mic Gain at -2(default)
Yeah, I'm having the same problems. I've tried GrooveIP on my GN using my home wi-fi and Talkatone (iOS5 app that does the same thing) on my iPad 2 and Talkatone is much clearer without tweaking any of the settings.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had to boost the mic gain so the caller could hear me at all, now they can sorta hear me...but their voice echos like nuts (on their end)
I've tried both GrooveIP and Talkatone, and both apps result in very quiet incoming audio. I have no complaints from the person on the other end hearing me, but I can barely hear them. Going into the settings of each program and boosting the speaker gain helps a little, but hinders audio quality. Even using the gain boost in each program has little effect on the earpiece volume (using the earpiece on the phone).
Is there another setting in either app or on the phone itself I might be missing? I am on an Epic 4G Touch running PhantomPhreak's CM10 ROM.

I found a solution. It seems odd, but I'm not complaining. It works. Using Talkatone, I went into the call settings and changed the "audio playback stream" from voice call to music. I noticed by changing this, it also deselected the hardware echo cancellation. It's odd changing this setting makes callers go from nearly inaudible because the sound is so quiet to being nearly like a normal non-wifi call. If I had to guess, the Epic 4g touch has no hardware echo cancellation or it isn't compatible with Talkatone if it does. In any case, I'm happy I can use wifi calling and finally hear the other person.
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.
When in any call - voice or video or whatsapp call - the other party can't hear my voice IF I OPT FOR SPEAKER MODE AT MY END.
It is quite irritating. Either I have to use earphones for such video calls or simply disable speaker n use only the ear piece (avoid video calls).
No hardware issue - all the microphones n speakers working fine. It is only a software issue. Waiting for a solution.....
