Help trying to find out the issue with my phone? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Ive keep being told that everyone hears an echo while I on my side don't hear an echo. Idk if its my phone or what. I tried different roms, and can confirm its not the rom. I also have an otterbox case on my phone. Any ideas before I go back to stock and warranty exchange it?

Turn off noise reduction

Have you tried calls without the case on? I had the same issue years ago with an iphone 3g with an otterbox case on...took the case off...no echo

How do you do that
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

two things cause this...
First wifi calling to another voip number..
you can limit this by Turning volume down. and while in call tap menu button and turn off the noise reduction. Had this issue two days ago.. I was going Insane..
I also have otter box defender case. Case has nothing to do with it.. Your Mic is picking up your speaker and transmitting it back to the speaker..

Open the dialer, hit menu, call settings then select additional settings then uncheck nose reduction.

Actually its not a echo on my end. More of the caller constantly hear themselves echo. I think its the phone itself, and I have to return to stock to exchange the phone. Its a shame, because I had my phone set up nicely sigh. Just thinking about selling my note 2 smh. Freaking lemon I got.

It's a kind if common problem in Samsung phones. The mic picks up them and send it back over. It's usually fixed my turning off noise reduction, did you try that?

I actually did and the caller on its end still heard echos.

That's happened to me before but it's completely random for me. Most times, they have me on speakerphone so they hear an echo. Most likely not your phone. There are a lot of factors that play in, including different wave interferences and stuff.
But since you mention that everyone hears an echo.. I am probably wrong.

Yeah, I thought it was my phone not connecting correctly. But it was my phone being defective. I just received the new phone, and no problems so far.:thumbup:

I asked because I had to cut out the flaps that cover the charging and earphone ports in order to get rid of the echo.

[Q] How is your volume during calls?
Mine seems to be very low through the earpiece and even worse with the provided headset. Is it my phone or just the way it is?

Same with mine. I had HAC mode enabled on my Vibrant which helped the same issue. Enabling it (different name) on the S ii doesn't really have any effect for me.

i had 3 s3s that got hot 1 note with the black crush screen issue now they sent out another s3 you have 14 to 20 days to return each phone no matter what(no physical damage). tmobile calls it buyers remorse if you bring to a tmobile store and confirm the issue with them it will be on the computer for cust service to see so they dont have you go through the hard reset ect... if your past your 20 days they will send a refurbished phone if you have php.php is awsome, say next year your battery loses capacity or your phone starts acting up call they will send a replacement.
does it happen when you are playing games or when the cpu is being heavily used?

I'm bone stock and have noticed the same thing the last few days. I don't make a ton of calls and I really only call my wife, so I don't know when it started, but I was blaming her iPhone.
Maybe its just Sprint.
Let's do something.
1. Download Stock ROM
2. Download Triangle Away
3. Run Triangle Away and reset counter.
4. Flash stock ROM.
5. Go to the store and yell as hard as you can "I WANT A NEW PHONE, THIS POS IS NOT WORKING".
6. Check for warranty.(Optional)

Extending Ring Time on Sprint Note ll

My phone is ringing about 15 seconds. Is there any way to increase this to 30 seconds? I've tried apps to do this & so far no dice.
Semper Fi!
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
How long the phone rings before it goes to voicemail is set by your carrier and has nothing to do with your phone.
Actually it can most likely be changed in one of the ##XXXX# modes, but I'm not sure which one it's under for the GNII. You'd probably need your msl to find it.

No way to do this unfortunately. Click the link in my sig and then type "longer ring time sprint"

You have to call Sprint and they can do it. That's what I did.

As I mentioned above, it can indeed be done. You need to edit the "Slot Cycle Index" setting. I've done this with my Evo 4G and E4GT, but this phone is too new for me to know the ##XXXX# command to find where it's located.

Well you can, but you don't have to.
Thanks for the responses. I called Sprint & they could do it with their Nextel phones, but not the Note II. Still researching.

Well that is very interesting. I didn't think it was a phone thing, but a system thing. Sprint did it for me on my last phone, which was an HTC Evo, and the longer ring time has carried through with my Note.
I'm gonna call them again. Thanks!

Battery kind of loose.

I trade my HTC one for a note 2 on craigslist. The note 2 was used for an few months. The battery fits firmly, but kind of loose. It doesn't snap on super tight. Is that normal, or did the person I bought it from take the battery in and out way too much?
