Can someone test if they get ECHO without noise cancellation enabled - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

If people call me and I do not have noise cancellation enabled, they will hear what they say echoed back to them.
Can someone else disable noise cancellation, make a test call, then ask the other party to speak and listen closely for an echo. I would appreciate this.
I need to know if I should call samsung up and ask for repair work.
You can see noise cancellation is on by a squigly with a line through visible while in a call. To disable it, in call you press the edit/menu button, and click noise cancellation off.

anyone? it shouldbtakr less then a minute

Do you have your phone in a case if so which case?
I have an Otterbox Defender and the other side gets echo if i use the speaker phone

I just did the test. No echo for me either way.
Details of test: I called my office number from my cell phone. I then put it in a drawer and started talking from my office phone. Everything sounded fine. I then got my cell phone out of my drawer and set noise cancellation off. Put it back in the drawer and started talking again. Still no echo.
Phone is stock ICS.

Included earphones echo

Does anyone elses phone echo when using the ear buds?
i personally do not, how would one replicate your experience so i can double check.
mine work fine with no echo at all... at least when listening to music.
is it when you're listening to music? or on the phone? theres an EQ setting that sounds a bit tinny, maybe thats how you have it set?
Both I and my brother have had this problem. We have also had it with iphone ear buds and skull candy ones. So I don't think the issue is the ear phones. It' s better with my new bluetooth but I have heard a slight echo a few times. Typically it seems to be that the person on the other end will hear an echo until I stop using the ear buds.

Yes thats the prob I was having.
It doesn't echo during music or to me, but the person on the other line in echos whenever they speak loudly. I was think both mics were enabled but nope thats not it. I turned off noise cancellation and that didn't fix it either.
Only echo I had was when the person on the other line had me on speakerphone. Doesn't happen with music or any other phone calls for me
doh, really? try ur test again with u guys in rooms in opposite side of house.
try turning off noise cancellation when only using headset speaker
Lol did you skip my thread?
Aight just plugged the headphones into my DroidX and it does the same thing. Whenever it get loud the person you are talking to echos

ah i guess i did. my bad.
ne1 else gettin this?
This is about the earbuds that come with the phone. I have not tried a dif set. Just so you guys know if your trying to reproduce this.
I watch movies w/ them but haven't done phone calls. I'll try some calls later.
So we want to talk extra loud, turn off noise cancellation, and sit in the other room as people? Why?
I don't do any of that, nor does anyone that I talk to. hence I don't get any echoing.

What are you talking about. If you are on a phone call using your earbuds and the person on the other line is talking loud it will echo to them, not you. And if you never talked to anyone on the phone who had to speak loud to overcome background noise then ....
What the other post was talking about was just to reproduce what is happening so we could get to the bottom of it.

generally if we are somewhere that has background noises, our phone calls can wait.
and I don't echo to anyone. nor does anyone else echo to themselves.

Great!
Has anyone tried aftermarket ear buds with mic?
As I said, I have tried multiple after market ear phones with echoes. I believe this is a phone issue and not a problem with the ear phones. The noise cancellation settings perhaps.

I've turned off noise cancellation and it still did it.
Echo on headset
Yeah I have the same echo when using the headset or bluetooth.
Actually the echo is always on the other side all calls I make with headset or bluetooth complain about an echo on thier side. I never get echo for music/videos
If I unplug the headset incall they tell me the echo goes away.
I disabled noise-cancel and enabled it still problem, it didnt do this when I first got it so I deleted all the apps I installed since.. but still doing echo in call.... ugh does anyone have a fix for this?
recommendations?

Aittle more information would be nice. Are you stock or rooted, running any custom ROMs, firmware version, Android version? Is it just like an echo you're hearing, because that could be a few possibilities. The noise cancellation is for your end of the phone call to the recipient's, not the other way around.
Repair procedure #1: Hit/throw it
Worked perfectly on the last phone i had that did that. Got a brand new one from it.

Did you try when in call to use menu and change voice qualty settings..... I know for me some of the settings have a slight hum.....

Microphone sensitivity

Hey all,
Just wondering if it was possible to increase the sensitivity of the microphone because I hear complaints from people all the time that they cannot hear me so I have to squeeze the phone to my face and talk directly into the phone.
Also, is there a way I can get the speakerphone echo to go away? When on speakerphone they can hear themselves on the other side and on my end it typically just cancels their voice out completely unless I mute the mic. Fixes?

Start with the case if your using one and work your way down. I've seen many post where issue is the case. For the Mic you can try looking into alsa mixer app there might be a microphone combination you can help make increase.

Muffled sound?

So we bought an irenic
Otter box case for this phone and with it on it causes the sound to be muffled. Take it off and it doesn't. All speakers and mics appear to be visible and I just can't figure out why it does that. Weird thing is for the first few minutes after you put it on it doesn't sound muffled but then goes back to it. I'm referring to speaker phone as well as on call volume without speaker phone on. Anyone have any insight before we send it back?

Call quality

When you call granny, does she keep saying "Huh?! Wut?!" or does the conversation flow pretty well? Rate this thread to express how you feel about the Huawei Nexus 6P's call quality. A higher rating indicates that calls are clear and crisp, and that regardless of background noise, you can hear the other party clearly (and with ample volume) and they can hear you.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Call quality is just fine. However I have a bug where if I start a call on speaker then switch to handset, the mic is muted. Gah!
When you hang up while you were on speaker, do you still here that annoying peep !!!!!!

Call quality is excellent but on T-mobile, I randomly lose LTE data and only get it back by rebooting the phone. Not cool.
2 Verizon phones here, many callers complaining of the call sounding "muffled" on their end....have found other reports online of the same issue. Pretty good on my end, but apparently not so great on the receiving end.
Google Fi and have had no issues with call quality. Though today I had issues with my proximity sensor not detecting right during a call.
Did the conference call to compare nexus 6 with the 6p. Definitely muffled sound. The other party always complain. So returning this unit, getting another one tomorrow. On t-mobile network.
On Verizon, i get a noticable buzz as my contact is talking and my volume is Medium high or above. on headset. Has anyone else experienced this?
Sounds like mixed results so far. For those that say it's muffled, what are you comparing the call quality to?

With HD calls on T-Mobile I hear static behind every sound. Besides that everything is fine and calls sound great

Mine almost sounds like the speaker is blown out during calls but not when music is played or anything. Also, if I connect Bluetooth during calls or a device other than the phone speaker, the static goes away :-/
I'm getting a very clean call quality on Google Fi. It's much louder on both ends compared to my old 2013 Moto X on Verizon.
As with previous Nexii, the proximity sensor doesn't work properly. Sometimes when ending a call, I take the phone away from my face and notice the notification shade pulled down, because the proximity sensor didn't activate and turn the screen off soon enough.
Also slightly muffled on most calls for verizon.. Only time it's not may be when it's on HD calling with someone who has it..

I posted a fix for this over on reddit. Apparently what is happening is the noise cancellation is interpreting your voice as noise and is attempting to cancel it resulting in a muffled sound. Turning off in call noise cancellation seems to solve the problem. To do this you need to edit your build.prop. The easiest way is to download a build.prop editor. Open it up, locate persist.audio.fluence.voicecall, and change it to false. Save and reboot. Should solve the muffled sounding voice problem.

Thanks, I know that's the fix....it just blows that root is required (I could easily do it to mine but my wife has no desire to let me root hers). After experimenting, the easiest "fix" I've found is to just make sure the bottom speaker is more in line with your mouth and that you don't let the phone "slouch" more vertically (resulting in the bottom speaker being closer to your shoulder).
I am on T-mobile in the US... I was getting comments like speak up.. Sound like you are in a tunnel.. It turns out that covering the noise cancelling mic on the back with your shoulder or a pillow etc causes a problem..
It seems like you have to have root to turn off that feature.
But most of the time calls are clear...
I'm switching from my Nexus 6 and so far my reception is better, and my wife says that she can hear me much better than on my old phone. I am using project Fi

If you use Bluetooth or actually hold your phone, then you will be fine. It seems that the problems appear when you try to use the phone without hands by placing it on your shoulder and covering the rear noise cancelling mic.
