Hi,
i just bought the case and soon after, the person i am talking to complain of hearing echoes of their own voices.
i tested this by calling some robot (topup service or something) and tried to listen from the mic side.. and guess what, i can hear its voice quite clear here! i guess the sound from the speaker travelled too damn well through the case, and eventually coming out from the mic port.
have anyone else noticed thsi problem? do share pls..
Haven't come across this from anyone on the AT & T forums. I ordered mine yesterday and will report back when I get it installed to try and replicate this issue.

Been using this case since last Saturday and no issue on echoes.

hmm weird. i actually thinking it is unlikely not to have echos due to its very design. did u use max volume for call? or myb silly me just installed it wrongly? demm..
I just got mine and no echo. Maybe a network issue?

Yezza. Full max volume for call. Try to reinstalled ur case n test agaon.
In the echo still persists, might be network since ur on maxis n im on celcom.
i tried using it without the case, and no echoes detected (i tested it by using another phone, calling to my note), so i am certain the case is the culprit. installing it again does nothing to help.
ah well, i guess i had gotten myself a defective unit somehow, or my callers are just annoyingly *****y. Interestingly, google also reported that this issue existed on iphone 4 otterbox defender...
You are not the only one having problems!
I am experiencing the very same problem. Callers hearing their own voice echoing back even at the minimum sound level on my device... The case somehow causes echoing.. very annoying.. I've been called 3 times by different people tonight right after I switched to Defender.. each person called me three times thinking that there must be something wrong with their phone.. Was it their phone??? No! It was Defender causing problems..
Will I in the end give up using this case? I doubt it. Paid too friggin much to dump it.. Is it annoying? F.ck yes!

Hi,
I hope you read this. Wanted to thank you.
I had rigged mine with some tape before I read your guide and it worked half assed.. there was still some noticeable echo..
I'll try the ear foam method asap and let you know if it works any better..
Hey on my HTC One X after updating to the latest 1.29 update I noticed that the volume on the ear piece is really really low. Like I can hardly hear people in busy places like the mall. I am not rooted nor did I ever intend on getting rooted as everything else seems to be working good and I have other phones that are rooted. I was wondering if there is anything to increase the volume to a decent level. I have it raised all the way up and it sounds as if I have it set all the way down. Struggling to hear the other caller is a really starting to annoy me as this is a really awesome phone... So can anyone help?

Just in case...have verified your phone profile and also system audio settings. If all is set right and its still a problem, may be just factory reset the phone and see if its gets better. Just a suggestion, not a sure shot, but i have seen lots of weird things getting solved after factory resets.
Maybe the problem is for the earphones , have you tried other ones ?

Im talking about the earpiece in the phone. This happened since I updated to the latest 1.29 OS.
Going to sound silly but have you tired using your other ear.??? I say this because I had the same problem only to discover a sudden loss of hearing in one ear.!!!!!!

The problem is so stupid. Just clean every litle holes on your housing(earpeace area) with something thinly.
For example dental bore in my case or thin pin.

I've been using Hyperdrive ROM for a while and today I noticed that none of the alerts are producing vibration. I thought it might be related to the kernel I installed so I reverted the kernel but that did not fix. So I installed a new ROM (Resurrection) and I still have the same issue.
I installed Vibration tester and I'm still not getting any vibration.
Any suggestion ?

have you dropped your phone, or did it get wet. happened to me once. the vibrate stopped after getting wet on an HTC phone.. also if you drop it, the connector could get loose.

Do u have power savings mode on by any chance? Because that would kill vibration.

I don't think so. I just installed a brand new ROM so I don't think it has power saving mode on by default. Does it? I'm on KK Remix, where can I check?

Nope, alright, weird, tw has power savings mode that would kill it, but aosp specifically that ROM I'm unaware of said feature. And since its occurring on both ROMs you may be in a pickle.

Yes, it's been working fine until few days ago when I noticed that I'm missing calls and texts due to phone not vibrating in my pocket. At first I thought it was a kernel issue (I was using Hyperdrive rom at that time) so I tried different kernel and it did not fix the issue to yesterday I installed KK remix to see if that fixes the issue but had no luck with that either. So at this point I think it might be a hardware issue and the vibration motor is toast. I went ahead and ordered a replacement and will try my luck with replacing the original one.

I thought about going back to stock to test but then decided against because I didn't think that it would make a difference as I have already tried different ROM with no success. Do you think that going to stock could make a difference?

Yup, for sure. Super odd to me still that its broke like it is, but, can't argue with stock fw I guess. Thanks form taking the time to actually trouble shoot the issue. Surprised how many people don't want to take that time.

Ya, it is very odd. Never had that happen to any of the countless phones that I've owned in the past.

For anyone who might be following the thread, I got the replacement part from Amazon and replaced the the vibrator. Everything is working as expected. Thanks to everyone who replied.

Hi all,
I'm using my OP3 since I purchased it in June'16. Never faced any issue with the phone regarding in-call volume. But after updating my phone to Oxygen 3.2.8 OTA last week I'm facing very low in-call volume. I'm struggling to hear the other person even in a quiet room. Gently tried to remove the dust on earpiece but no improvement. Please advice any help or modification. anyone else facing the similar issue? I see lot of threads on similar issue with older OP devices. Is it a bug with latest oxygen update? Thanks.

Thanks. I can hear a little bit but not as before the update. Though I'm not very sure if it is due to latest OOS udpate or any hardware problem but my handset didn't had any such impact which can damage the hardware. So I'm clueless that what can be the issue.

Have you tried a reset or a reflash of oos or community build? If the problem is still there after that, it could be a hardware fault.

Sorry. It was silly dust sitting under the earpiece. Had to go to oneplus care and got it cleaned up. Now I can hear it as clear as before. Thanks.

Is anyone else having this issue? With some of the stock notification alert sounds I am getting an ugly popping sound once in a while. It sounds like the notification sound file is jacked up, or like the speakers can't handle it.
When I test music on youtube/spotify/etc it all sounds just fine. Seems to only happen with stock notification alert sounds.
Same here. It happens to me in the same way as you describe it.
Sometimes? That's already if it vibrates from the notifications. That should be why you don't hear it while listening to songs. Dunno why it doesn't sound strange while it's ringing.
I wonder what causes this, and why EVERYONE doesn't have this issue.

Check my thread posted a while ago. Flashed freedom os and never had that issue. Not sure if hard reset would fix it. But not to worry it's definitely software issue not hardware

LOL wasn't me
It's happening with any notification sound. I swapped all of mine and it still happens.
yep.. i am having the same cracking sound when notification rings.. specially WhatsApp in chat notification.
im having the same issue. is this software issue or hardware?
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/op5t-speaker-sound-problem.705593/
Had the same issue factory reset fixed mine
Wiped cache fixed too but there are still but minor. I test by tapping the sms notif sound in setting couple of times
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk
had the same issues, even from the day one i bought it, brand new. it always irritated me, as on my iphone i had no such things., always sounded perfect.
this one has bad speakers also, the call quality is not that great.. but also adding choppy notification to that, from my opinion is unacceptable.
i have blu_spark kernel and it seams it is fixed now, i will try with a custom 8.1 rom also.
I wonder what happened to "never settle" lol
Sorry OT.
Anyway, i hope they fix this issue. As you said crappy speakers at least make that popping sound go away
