I’ve been having this frustrating issue where I hear an echo during phone calls on my Android device. It seems to happen in both incoming and outgoing calls. This has made conversations really uncomfortable and I’m looking for some advice on how to fix it.
Troubleshooting Steps
I’ve tried a few things on my own, but I wanted to loop everyone in for any additional tips:
Check Your Microphone and Speaker: Ensure that nothing is obstructing your microphone or speaker. Sometimes cases can muffle sound or cause feedback.
Adjust Volume Settings: Lower the call volume and see if that helps with the echo. Sometimes high volume can create feedback loops.
Toggle Noise Cancellation: If your device has noise-cancellation settings, toggling them on or off might make a difference. Go to your phone settings under Sound or Call settings.
Test Without Accessories: If you’re using a Bluetooth headset or any other accessories, try taking them off to see if the echo persists during normal phone calls.
Check for Software Updates: Make sure your Android device is running the latest software. Sometimes bugs that cause these issues are resolved in updates.
Reset Network Settings: This is a last resort, but resetting your network settings can sometimes fix major audio issues. Just be aware that you’ll need to re-enter Wi-Fi passwords afterward.
Seek Further Help
If none of these work, could it be a hardware issue on my device? Has anyone had a similar experience? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, especially if you’ve found a solution that worked for you! Thanks in advance for your help!
I often hear echo during calls too! It might be caused by feedback from the microphone. Have you checked if your phone case is interfering with the mics?
Great points! I’ve also heard that certain software settings, like noise cancellation features, can sometimes cause echo. Have you tried adjusting those settings?
