All the Skype video calls I was making used to be outputting their sound over the phone speakers. Recently, however, this seems to have changed. The sound is now only outputted via the earpiece, and I do not seem to be able to find the cause of the change, nor how to change it back. There is no speaker toggle button. Makes the video calling fairly cumbersome, since I have to put on the headphones (or Bluetooth), and cannot have a couple of people take part in the call at my end. The recent upgrade (2.5) did not correct the problem. What is annoying is that it was working OK before. I am just not sure before what. Any ideas anybody? Android 2.3.4 (stock HTC/T-Mobile), Skype is most recent stock version.

try viber.
I just used this like 2hrs ago, Toggle the mic button. I thinks it's a red icon, I've had this problem before. If not then try clearing the data. Let's us know.
Switching to another tool (viber) is not an option - it would take me less time to re-code Skype from scratch myself than to get my parents on a different program.
This is still an issue. The only way I am able to work around it is to quickly plug in my earphones and the unplug them. That seems to force skype to switch to the speaker away from the earpiece. I guess I'll have to deal with this until a future version takes care of it (hopefully).

i wish you had right about that but as i learn from developers it's about kernel and if anyone will fix this then it's have to be a developer. if i found a solution then i let you know.

Does this have to do with the leaked ICS radio? If not, how do I fix this because I know this would be really annoying if I heard my own echo.
noise suppression
It could be a bad phone. The first one I got did the same thing on every single call. Everyone I spoke to heard an echo. I had AT&T replace it and the new one works perfect.
How do I disable noise suppression? I don't see it in any settings option

That is not an option on ICS, its in the in call menu now. I was referring to GB builds.
there was another user with a similar issue, noise suppression was a problem on pics, and he had to disable it each call. I may actually have a damaged skyrocket, I recommend warranty action

Do you have a case on the phone? If so, take it off and see how it works. On GB, people that had the "echo" problem usually could handle it by disabling "noise suppression", but ICS needs it to be disables on a call by call basis. It is one of the things (along with the "contacts" tab) that I hope the devs can add back into the ICS builds.
I didn't have the "echo" problem with GB, but it is there with ICS when I have a case on the phone. I get around it by using bluetooth most of the time.

Was just here to post this, I discovered the Noise reduction setting but you have to set it from the in call settings menu (as in while you are on the call).
Weird issues
Hey guys, I'm new here and im having some weird things going on, I had that echoing problem so I used odin to go back to stock, now when I'm in a call the mic seems to cut in and out, any ideas?
Mine is being sent back for warranty work.
The echo won't go away no matter what I try.
Sammy didn't even flinch. Just issued a repair ticket. Sucks that I will be without it while they fix/replace it.

Same thing here bro, for most people going into settings-call-additional settings then turning off noise suppresion works. To test it do that then call your home or some voice mail and as your speaking run your finger back and forth over the tiny hole by the headphone input (that is the noise canceling mic)
If you can do that and you dont go in and out anymore then you should be good to go. I myself get the same problem and have to send in for repair.
HA HA! I got this problem solved!
I bought a outterbox case for my I9100,
and same time I cought this problem!
I thought that there is a problem with the demultiplexation, changed a lot of modems and kernels...
What a funny pill was to take off the CASE!
The case is very tight and problaly because of that it transports vibration(sound) from speaker to mic! Same moment as I took it of the problem was solved!!!
Hey guys, I have recently switched over to Wind Mobile a couple weeks ago, and I have been experiencing difficulties making phone calls over the network. I have no difficulty picking up a signal, and I am able to receive and send text messages, and use the data network successfully using my cellphone.
My problem is this:
I am able to dial and answer a phone call, and I can hear the other person on the line crystal clear. However, on their end, my voice is garbled and you cannot hear what I am saying at all. The phone call sounds like it's underwater.
This cannot be a hardware issue, as I have succesfully tested the voice input of my phone using a voice recording application, and was successful.
These are the specs of my SR:
ROM: CvR Nibbles 1.6
Kernel: 3.0.49-Nibbles-v0.1.3
Baseband: T989UVLI4
The radio I am using is picking great signals from Wind, consistently getting around 3-4 bars. I am able to access their mobile network flawlessly.
Any reason why this may be? This problem persists regardless of my location, or my signal at the time of the call.
Thanks in advance.
Try a different rom and see if you have the same problem

If your are using a call recorder turn it off to and check your noise suppression settings.

Update here, even after flashing some new ROMs, issue still persists. Any other suggestions? Could it be the radio on my phone?
Working on this myself...
Thought I was being so nice, giving my niece a skyrocket...
They are on Wind, we are visiting them in calgary.
The garbled sound problem looks entirely unsolved according to my hunting, and trying many radios.
Has anyone gotten past this?
Now using CM10, Tried tons of T989 radios, the ones that DO connect, the outgoing call sound is just a garbled mess.

The weird solution is... Turn ON noise suppression in the settings in the phone app!!
(Noise suppression was mentioned above, or I would have never known.)
UGLH2, UVLH1, Both of these worked, but probably a universal thing.
You guys ALL ROCK.

I'm getting echo problem in 4.4 roms (cm11, slim kat) with and without jbx. The person on other side hears his/her own echo , it's fine on mine side. & this is not occasional, it is heard during all calls whenever i'm on 4.4 rom. Tried installing multiple times, on fresh slot but to no avail.
There is no such problem in ics or jb roms. Please help..
At&t atrix2 using in India
I've never faced that problem in 4.4...anyway if this issue occurs to you I think it's better to stick with other 4.3 and 4.2 ROM's there are a lot of them in Development section also there is no such huge improvements from 4.3 to 4.4 which makes you insist on getting the latest builds with that serious problem.
Note: Don't use the in-call volume adjustment app as someone reported the same echo issue, Just clean the partition (clear data, cache and dalvik cache) and install the 4.4 ROM again and make a call normally without any other modification "No jbx, No volume adjust app" and see the result.
EDIT: Solution is to Use the in-call volume app and change the value to 35 as reported by @dmroeder
Good luck.
I'm more inclined towards 4.4 roms mainly because of hugely improved battery life compared to earlier kexec roms.
I'm not using the call volume adjustment app. I've tried installing on a freshly created system but the results have been same.

Your problem is nothing you have done wrong, it's a common bug in most ROM's since 4.2.2. I ran a couple of 4.2.2 ROM's that didn't have this problem but all 4.3 and 4.4 ROM's have it.
I think there is confusion on two different issues here. The caller on the other end of your phone hearing an echo is a result of the in-call volume being maxed out and not adjustable. I think what happens is when it is maxed out, it's so loud that the mic picks it up and they hear it again on their end. The app allows you to adjust the volume again. Have you tried using it? I set mine at 35. You will see that the first time you run it, it is at 50. I think the latest version allows the volume buttons to adjust the volume.
رامز, Are you able to adjust your volume during the call? Are you certain you are talking about the same issue? I got the impression that this "robo voice" issue was heard by the A2 user, not the caller.
Downloaded the app and changed call vol to 35. Let's see. Fingers crossed..

yes, I know that issue was submitted by other users before but really I've never faced it "remember that my A2 is at&t version" and actually I don't need to adjust the in-call volume as I mostly talk in open areas so I always leave it to max.
BTW:I'll try it again tonight and tell you the result
Great..! It works like charm.!
Thanks again for helping me out..

That is very strange. I also have an AT&T Atrix 2 and I have the "call volume" issue. You should ask the caller if they hear themselves echo. Most people that I talk to don't mention it, my mom however is not one of those people! I do notice though that the speaker is very loud when this issue is present.
And when I say maxed out, the caller comes across much louder than say with the stock ROM set at max. It's almost like our phones go to 11 [/spinal tap]

I've just finished a call with my friend and I asked him about my voice, He did mention small echo effect but it's hardly noticed "that's what he said". I forget to mention that I've disabled the "Noise Suppression" option in the dialer settings so maybe this has reduced the problem echo effect..not sure

You should have asked whether he heard his own voice echoing.. And yes, most callers don't mention about this problem even it is always present , or maybe the echo effect is higher sometimes(???)
I've also tried disabling noise suppression, but it didn't help.

regarding to your comment I had to test it again but this time I called my brother and told him to record the call, so I can confirm that the call is 100% normal and even my voice echo is barely noticed and no other echo is present at all " I can even upload the record here". it's really strange that echo issue happens to some people and others just switch to 2G (like mine) and problem get solved!
I'm not questioning your authenticity. Maybe it's just because of different make of our handsets..! (As in case of clock speeds 1ghz/1.2 ghz)

i bought a belkin songstream bluetooth thinking i could hook it up in my car and it should work for the media but is there anyway to trick the phone to think it can output all audio (media, call, notifications...) through it?
It should be automatic when u pair however if you goto bluetooth settings and than the settings for the device in your paired list there is a check box for media audio. It should be checked when paired and connected

I think you are out of luck in terms of "changing the profile." The profile is set by the device you are connecting to. If the device being connected to doesn't support something then it won't work.
However, if you buy a Bluetooth receiver that has a mic on it, then all your calls will go through the Bluetooth device.
In addition, I don't know if you have the option, but when in a call, is there a "Bluetooth" button on the bottom right of the screen? If so try pressing it during a call. If that works, then you might be able to use root and xposed or some other method to turn that on on every call when connected to Bluetooth.

Well actually this can be done. I am pretty sure it can unless there is something hardware related that prevents it. But I am almost 100 percent this can be done. I have done it with things like GPS navigation sounds and things like that, so if the software making the call uses Java, it can be done.

Lol, since I already did it for other things, I will take a look. I kinda wouldn't mind having the ability myself.
I will make it in the form of an xposed module.
This is how I plan to make it work:
When an app begins to output audio, my module will create a notification. Inside said notification will be three buttons.
Each button will be an audio source:
Phone, Media, System
Clicking on one will change the currently playing audio output source.

I mean, like here:
You place a call, and see the "end call" button and the other buttons for like showing keypad etc
In the bottom left, you should see a "speakerphone" button, after clicking that, while connected to your bluetooth, does it route the audio to the bluetooth device?
I ask because if it follows the android code, it appears that it should route the audio to the bluetooth device.
I had said about forcing it using xposed, and when I do that, you don't hear anything at all lol. The other person cannot be heard. In addition, it doesn't appear to be changeable during a call, the option would have to be applied before a call is placed or before a call is accepted. Which, for your case, one could detect if a bluetooth device is connected that supports audio, and if so, force the call audio to that.
Honestly though, it would be much simpler to buy a bluetooth receiver that supports phone calls. I got one from eBay for 11 dollars and have hooked it into my car without any issues. I may even go about disconnecting the bluetooth mic and routing my car's mic to it instead for better audio quality.
As I stated before, it is possible to force it, just a lot more work involved then forcing other audio (like pandora etc).
