alcatel idol 3 koodo echo problem - Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i did a update koodo alcatel idol 3 323 mb it fixed lots of issues camera, lock screen double but when i take calls it echos for the other person.
the echo is only for the person on the other end and not for me and it is very little when on earpiece but when i turn on speaker it echo extremely loud for the other person unbearable for them to talk to me. i need to use speaker as when i am driving . please help me out . i wish i did not update , can i go back to the old firmware somehow until this is fix.
i did a factory reset 2 times after the update hope it will fix but it did not. the only way not to exho is put my full ear on earpiece and talk. echo is their with mic headphone and with speaker it gets loud even with the volume down to full. it doesnt echo on viber with ear peice or speaker. so im guessing it is software for dialer app , also tried different dialer app it didnot help. please help

Same issue here since doing the update. This really needs a quick fix.
Edit: I've just sent Alcatel a message, will let you know what they say.

Try to turn off the JBL effects maybe should help because whenever i have this enabled and play music and sometimes i pause it kinda echoes even watching vlogs too in youtube

It is only possible to downgrade if you have a system image and boot backup using fastboot and twrp
I can confirm it is also happening on my device: koodo.
Speakerphone was always bad on my phone before I had to scream at it so people could hear me now its an echo.
My car has Bluetooth so I will be pairing it tomorrow (never bothered before because of laziness)

I only use wifi no sim card. People who receive a Hangout voip call from me and only when l use the speaker phone hear a loud echo of themselves. Speaker off no echo.

[CM7]echo problem SOLVED!!

today i tried to use GetRil in my thill 4G running BangL MOD(CM), GB v20c baseband
I installed the one read "lgp920-v21a-NOV ***" I think its safe because theres a restore option
after a reboot I tried to call my dad's phone, and use the speaker(this is where worst echo should happen)
and I yelled many time using my dad's phone, I couldn't hear a thing!
and the Thrill side can hear my voice (call quality has no problem.)
SO excited to share with everyone
Echo problem was the only thing that holding me back to the CM rom
Now It's solved!!

Gonna test today

How do you manage to solve the problem?
I'm trying new "CyanogenMod 7.2 Modded" and the sound in call as terrible echo( hear phones, speaker or loud speaker) .
Also play music in the speaker have very low sound.
strange today I tried to use my home phone to call my phone, and the echo is still there.
the low volume I think is because the voice is not coming from the speaker but from the top speaker, changing volume of media is setting should temporarily solve that, until you call someone.
cyanogen needs a lot of work..
One thing i discovered was that if i listened to the fm radio and somedody called me the audio modules crash and sound doesnt work.

[Q] Echoing when talking on Viber/Skype?

Hi all,
I am from Australia and got a sony z3 the weekend and so far it has been great but I am having an issue when talking to people over viber/skype. When using video chat or loud speaker the other person can hear themselves back quit loudly like it is an echo. Even if i put the headphones in on my phone they can still hear themselves back but it isn't as loud.
If I switch to my old samsung s3 it has no problems I am using the same wifi etc same location and calling the same people.
There doesn't seem to be much of a issue when calling normal and using the loud speaker. Just with apps like viber/skype.
Does anyone else have this issue at all? Or can anyone test video/using loud speaker on Viber and letting me know if they have the same issue or is my phone possibly faulty?
Thanks Matt
Try a reboot.
Or try another app. It's possible Viber/Skype doesn't use noise cancellation. You could always use a headset or BT speaker (set it further away from the phone). If that all fails, there's a Mic Sensitivity setting under Settings -> Sound -> Audio Settings.
Thanks for the reply,
I have tried rebooting and it didnt help. I have also tried using headphones and while it made it a bit quieter they still had the same problem.
I will have a go at messing with the sound settings, thanks.
I think i am just going to take it back and see if it is just my phone with the issue or all z3's
Is anyone able to test on the z3 and video call someone on viber and let me know if they have the same issue?
Thanks,
Matt

[Q] Making/recieving Calls on Lollipop - Please help i am getting no sound at all

So i had the L preview on my Nexus 5 previously, no root or anything. Then on friday I flashed the factory lollipop using Nexus Root Toolkit. Everything has been fine except making calls.
When i get a phone call it rings i answer but cannot hear anything - unless i press the loudspeaker button then i can hear the other person and they can hear me. and the same when i make a call too - i cannot even hear the dialing tone normally.
I flashed again today to try and fix this and then reset to factory defaults. Didn't get any errors on flash. still no sound or mic on calls unless i turn on loudspeaker.
Does anyone know what could be causing this and if theres a fix for it?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Is there a way of verifying if it's a hardware issue?

i guess i could flash kitkat again? but the thing is that switching it to speaker allows my mic to work also. so its a software thing i think. Not sure how to test the earpiece speaker however.
i solved this problem, it was a stupid thing i had in my headphone jack called pressy.

No sound occasionally when making a call

I have a Galaxy S5 Active and have recently started having a problem. Occasionally when I dial a number, no sound will be output even though the phone is making the call, and the timer at the top corner counts as if the call is working. I'd say it does this about 1 out of 5 calls, I have to hang up and call back and it will work fine. I am not positive, but I think this may have started with the recent 4.4.4 update. I really dont want to restore my phone if not necessary.. anybody heard of this issue?

Maybe it's the front ear speaker issue or network connectivity problem.
Next time you get this problem, see if the loudspeaker option helps to find if the front ear speaker is damaged

I have tried this and there is still no sound even in loud speaker mode. I have also verified that other caller cannot hear me also
I think this issue is with Google play services... Try to search on xda or Google about it. I had read somewhere about it
Tried clearing cache of google play services like suggested in another thread.. but it didnt help
I should also mention that the problem only occurs when I am the one making the call, never when I receive a call

If you have root then try to disable google play services and other Google apps. And check if problem occurs in 2-3 days.

Problem with one of the microphones - P20, EML-L29 4GB, 128GB.

Hello guys! I have EML-L29.
I have strange problem with one of the mics - the one which is closer to the earpiece, top of the phone. So the problem is that the mic is very quiet - i think its responsible for when you change to loudspeaker, when you have phone call or viber, whatsup etc call, video call on loudspeaker. So i have to speak very close and quite loudly so that the person can hear me.
The strange thing is that it works normally when i say OK Google and Hey google. If I say this things, no matter how loud, i can tell them very quetly and the mic still pick up the voice, then i can ask Assistant what i want and again the mic picks everything how it should. But when i try manully to voice search, or manully to ask Assistant something, againt the mic brokes and can't pick up my voice normally, i have to be very close to it and speak very loudly.
I had this problem with EMUI9, updated to EMUI10, stil got it, fully factory reseted it, still no change.
For what i searched on the net i saw that the top mic is part of the motherboard, so its pretty much no point of changing it.. the bottom mic is on its own board, so its easy job.
Still i dont know if its hardware or software issue. Its very strange, normally it dont work, but when voice call the Google Assistant it starts working as it should.
I will be very grateful if someone knows anything about this or some tips on how i can deal with it
Thank you!
