Before I upgraded to ICS, call echoing would not exist. Now, whenever I call someone they complain about an echo unless I take the phone out of the case. I have tried an Otterbox, two different Casemate Pop cases and a silicone case, all with the same issue. I am on stock everything. Any fixes?

You might try a really thin TPU case. You can find some good-quality ones for ~$10 on Amazon. I got a decent (but thick) TPU from Amazon for $3 a few weeks back. If it really just doesn't work and it's definitely the case causing it, maybe try something like Ghost Armor?

I can't see how the only fix is to root. It simply doesn't make sense to me. It's like telling someone to bring 10 buckets of water to put out a lit match.

Well if its on stock and you have played with settings either cut a bigger hole in the case for the mic or root

Bigger hole. That's actually a good suggestion. I've got a couple of these case mates lying around so I'll give it a try.

Why the objection to rooting? A few tweaks or a custom ROM might fix you right up. Otherwise, yeah, try that Ghost Armor stuff, cut a bigger hole in the case or learn to live with it. Returning to stock is easy, and flash counters can be reset...

Multiple reasons.
1) I'm too intimidated by reports of people getting bricked and having to factory reset
2) This is my only android device plus my only means of contact so I'm not willing to even experiment with something I don't know
These may seem like stupid reasons because everyone here is a root user, but I'm someone who usually manages to mess up every piece of technology I touch, either software or hardware wise. I've had this phone for 6 months without even one scratch on the screen, so I'm doing surprisingly well by my standards.

I'm on stock ICS rooted and I get the same issue but only when i'm on speaker phone and my case is a Otterbox defender.
I haven't tried any other case because I haven't seen any with a belt clip as yet.

I noticed that when I partially cover the bottom mic with the case off I get the echo. So I'm gonna take illnevertell's advice and cut a larger hole for the mic.

I currently have a white Verizon Galaxy S3 and I like the look of the AT&T Red one better. I'd rather not switch carriers over a color choice of a cell phone. Is it possible to do a board swap and would the Verizon board work perfectly in the new AT&T phone exterior?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If your referring to the m/o board that would be pretty hard. You could just swap the glass panel. It'll fit either way
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Normally swapping the motherboard is fairly easy. I havent taken apart a Galaxy S3 yet. Is it easy just to swap the glass panel part and is it much simpler to just do that?

Lol no. That involves breaking the glass if memory serves me right. Replacing the mother board should be much easier. I do not see why it wouldn't work. Try and find out.

First I'll have to acquire some broken test devices but people think they're holding gold when they have a destroyed device. It's troublesome
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
What? Why would you have to break the panel? Your memory must be wrong sorry
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I'm just wondering if the board swap would be possible.. I do have a use for the AT&T phone afterward. So the board swap would be optimal if possible.

The s3 is easy to take apart. I think this is a pop and swap device. Would be cost and time effective to get a red screen and a back cover and swap your internals into it.

Oh.. I've got one of those. I work at a Verizon store. Haha, I've learned that this is a three part screen. Is it challenging to separate the digitizer from the glass? If so I'll just get a combo.

I didn't think it was but after seeing this, I don't think I'd want to do it. I'd do it if I had to but not for a color swap I don't think...

Could buy the screen the color you want then sell your old one. Hell, I might be interested.

let me know if u get it. I want to see if you can see the dot pattern through it.
Ordered I'll review it when it comes in
I've already received shipping confirmation with a teaching number... So far so good
Sexy case. I'm just wary on possible scuffs it may make. Anyway subscribing and awaiting feedback
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Very nice case, I'm waiting for your feedback
As it's a low price, I can order another one when there'll be scuff on it.
That's exactly what I was looking for! I ordered two.
I would stay away from any hard plastic cases as it VERY easy to scratch and crack.
I stopped using these cases after my Samsung Behold. I had one on my phone... My phone fell out of my pocket and this case broke off -___-

I have been using hard plastic cases for two years, and so far so good. There are no scratch/scuff marks that I can make out. Of course the user experience will depend heavily on the quality of the plastic, but that's the case for all cases.

Only bad thing is how he said it's up to the manufacturer to determine a price.
So Sammy says it cost this much, then att jacks that up. So we end up paying an arm and leg.

Broke a note2 and had to come back to my cappy as my primary until I get it replaced. I found this broken telescoping radio antenna and started messing with the screen. To my surprise it works like a stylus. Immediately I decided I don't wanna lose this so I emulated the note 2 and I molded a dock for it into the the back cover. Its unfinished but I thought it was pretty neat.
