Have made / received 3 calls today on my M20 Pro, each time I've had the phone on the table in front of me on loudspeaker, and each time the person on the other end has complained they couldn't follow the chat as they could hear themselves being played back on delay when they were speaking.
Never had this issue before on other phones, anyone else with the same issue/a way to fix this?
Try using the directional mic option, also, turning the volume down may help.
Its because of bidirectional mode.. Use directional mode.. There wont be any echo then.

I am facing the same issue (also on Mate20Pro). Please how to switch from bidirectional mode to directional mode? I mean is there some parameter somewhere that I can switch or is it done in some service menu or via some USSD code?
Just tap on the mic Pic that appears on the screen during the call

People complain that they have problem hearing me in a call. My friends, who also has a GSII, experiences the same thing. Anyone else? Is there an app that can adjust the mic-level?
Same problem here. I was talking in my regular volume to my girlfriend and she said she's having hard time hearing me.
I wonder if this could be an issue with the Scandinavian models? I see that you're located in Finland, and I am in Norway. I've searched both here and through Google, and haven't found any others saying they have experienced it.
Any solution to this?

Nope, didn't know GS2 had noise reduction. Where can you turn it off?
Hello hpe,
Indeed many people have this same problem, and should not be ignored since talking in the phone is the most important use of the phone. For me my volume is sooooooo low that it is nowhere near acceptable volume when increased to the max. I can't hear them, they cant hear me, its annoying.
here are three options might want to try:
A) Enter service mode by typing below code on your dialer :
*#*#197328640#*#*
click the following:
[5] AUDIO
[1] NB (VOICE CALL)
Choose Handset, headset, Speaker (which ever you want higher volume)
[1] VOLUME
[1] SRC Speech RX Volume
Change default values and higher the values any number of your choosing, here is an example:
[0]0_lvl : 68
[1]1_lvl : 72
[2]2_lvl : 76
[3]3_lvl : 80
[4]4_lvl : 84
[5]5_lvl : 88 Higher these values to until hear volume improvement.
Can also edit the values from:
[2]DST I2S1 TX Volume
[3]SRC I2S1 RX Volume: 100
[4]DST Speech TX Volume: 94
This is Samsung volume setting, worked for several people but sadly only worked 2 times for me and values keep resetting for me (doesn't mean for you, so give it a try) Also this is based on STOCK firmware.
B) the second thing you might to try is app called Volume+:
http://androidaudiohacks.com/home/volume-gingerbread/download
This app guarantees it higher the volume without the need of touching its default settings, BUT huge drawback it highers everything: Headset, speaker and Bluetooth EXCEPT HANDSET which is the most important :-(
(I also downloaded many volume increase apps, but Volume+ was the only one got the job done for everything but handset)
C) Lastly get GOOGLE VOICE app (create a GV account if you don't have one)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice&feature=search_result
just by installing Google and logging on, every time you make a call, your calls get forwarded through Google voice and volume levels become acceptable in ALL HANDSET, HEADSET, SPEAKER, BLUETOOTH (just like phone should of have been) (this what i personally use fix my volume issues)
Hope one of these work for you.
try turning off the noise cancellation during a call, via the menu button i think.
FYI other threads posted say some people have this low mic issue as well. so youre not alone.

During a call on the call screen, press the menu button and 'turn noise reduction off'. Thats it.

Wow, thanks all! So many great answers. I'll try to disable Noise Reduction, and if that doesn't work I'll try all the great suggestions you gave Extreme184X.
Tell us what worked for you, your solution might someone else with this problem.
Some people have the Galaxy S2 with screen protector that completely protects and covers the entire phone (front, back, sides) resulting in low volume because all mics and speakers are covered.
I can't believe this is still a problem with Samsungs. My wife and I both had Tocco's (don't laugh) and sent them back for this very reason. Now we've purchased GS2, delivery date 02/06/11 and i'm reading about this reoccurring issue.
I turned of noise cancelling, and have had no complaints so far.

Needs to be turned off each time. Totally annoying.

I got the same problem! Everyone says they hearing me if im under water.
But when i call someone there is no option for noise reduction!
Please help.
Press the menu-button (lower left corner of the screen) during a phone call.
Unfortunately it needs to be disabled for each call. Annoying.
Does anyone here make calls using a headset? For some reason on my SGS2 the volume (and this is just for calls, music and media are fine) even at maximum is almost unlistenable. I just cant hear the other person.
Anyone know of a solution?
Ralph
anyone?
I have searched and found loads of threads saying "use the search function " but nothing that answers the issues. Probably a failing on my part I am sure!
Do you have the same issue during VOIP like skype?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Yeahm Music/Video/Podcasts are fine itr is just call volume through headphones. Having said that the maximum call volume even without heaphones is a little low for my tastes but through a headset is just to quiet to hear.
If you try skype or gtalk and you got big difference its due to the audiochip. Music and other apps got other internal settings inside the audiochip. Thats why I was curious if you got the same trouble with skype.
DONT touch any settings in the hidden service menu until samsung got a proper fix for it. The menu wont work properly with the audiochip of the i9100 and could f*** your device completly.
The audiochip will not be able to reset correctly even on hardreset or reflashing new fw.

The call volume through the headset on the S2 is notoriously quiet, the following will help increase the volume through the headset.
note: Use the menu key->Key input to enter values
1. Open the dialler
2. Dial *#*#197328640#*#*
3. Navigate through the following menus:
(5) Audio
(1) Voice call
(2) Headset
(1) Volume
(1) SRC Speech RX Volume
4. Enter 5100. This sets the maximum level (5) to the maximum volume (100).
5. Use the menu key, and select back six times to navigate back to the dialler.
The headset volume setting is now set to the maximum when the volume toggle switch is set to the maximum.
Note: When the phone is reset or powered off, the firmware will reset these settings back to the default, so you will have to go through this procedure again.
Hope it helps!
WARNING CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't touch that menu if you don't want to risk anything.
Read about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248729
That menu is for older devices with another audiochip not for the Yamaha chip thats in the Galaxy S2 device.
I have my phone at samsung Service center a second time due to big trouble with this menu!!
This menu only works like intended on older devices!!!
DO NOT TOUCH UNTIL PROPER FIX IS OUT!!!!!
Hi,
I've been having complaints on the other end of people hearing their own voice echo during calls. It seems to stop if I put it on speaker or lower the in call volume.
Any thoughts/solutions?
I'm currently running rooted stock on T-mobile.
My wife said she heard herself when I called her over the aux in my car. Didn't have that issue with my mt4g. The volume in the car was the same as always, maybe the phone volume needs to be changed.
Ill report back when I play around.

I just flashed stock w/ Odin and left it unrooted - the problem seems to have stopped for the moment. I'm hoping it's related to network service and not hardware/software issues associated with rooting.
They're just messin' wit' you...cause they're jealous!
problem came back - only was able to stop it by turning off noise reduction on the in call menu.
it seems that it was actually caused by me inadvertently activating the noise reduction feature. after deactivating it, it stays off by default and I no longer have the echo issue.

Thanls ill give this a shot. It'd be nice if it auto-disabled when in car mode.

I don't know if it was this yet but my caller volume got pretty low after I did this, can't confirm yet. And yes call volume was all the way

Hi! I bought a Moto E dual sim from France. I have no problem with calls, but my records (with WhatsApp or specific apps) have a very low audio, compared with other devices. It's weird! When I call someone, he hears perfectly
Is it a hardware/software issue? Is it normal? Do I have to send it back to the shop and change it? Thank you all!
Hey buddy, I also use the record function extensively, didn't happen to me yet. Can you just pop over to Settings>Sound>Volumes and check the volume levels there. If it is at proper levels. If thats not the problem, you may want to do some tests.
Go to dialler and type *#*#2486#*#*
Click on 'Start CQA Test in Menu Mode'
Go to Audio and and do all the tests.
If all are working fine, and you still have that problem, its the time to call the customer service.

Thank you. I did the tests with volume settings to the max.
Ear speaker: with "Buzz test" the audio is low, with "Play Harvard speech pattern" audio is veeeery low (I can't understand what I hear)!
Loudspeaker: this is very good.
Mic Loopback: First time, no feedback here. I try choosing some options but I can't hear anything, and sometimes (e.g. with "Primary Mic low power") I have a crash of CQA test.
Second time, I try choosing "default mic" and blowing into the microphone, I can hear a "swish" but the audio is still low (if I talk into the microphone I can't hear anything, maybe it's too low). Same with "primary mic". Finally, I hear a "cryptic" sound with "camcorder mic".
EDIT: when I launched CQA test for the first time, it didn't open. I only saw a frame that shows the CQA test, then it quickly closed. I had to reboot.
Hmm..if that's the case I think the hardware is definitely faulty. Contact the customer support. I hope they replace your device or at-least fix the problem. Good luck!

The Problem
Caller hears his voice, echo effect.
Check with GSM provider and the problem is from my phone they also reset my line.
Did not believe my provider and check with a SIM of another provider but the same problem.
Walk around my town the same problem if i make a call or someone calls me he hears his voice.
Do hard reset :crying: but the same problem.
On Settings -> Sound and Notification -> Sound Enchancement ->all to off, or no result if on or off .
and at More -> Mobile networks -> Enchanced 4G LTE Mode on or off has no result the problem is the same,
also same problem if i use 3G or 4G network for my connection at the GSM provider.
If i use a pair of headphones the problem is much more better, caller does not hear his voice, almost nothing of echo.
Using loudspeaker of the phone is like using headphones the same results.
Found that when i push the headphones out in order to continue speaking with phone's mic, echo starts to be enormous to the caller, especially if speaker power is to max.
Echo decreases when i push my speakers power to min, but still exist.
The problem full fixed only if i turn off-mute my mic when the caller is speaking but i can not mute and unmute mic when i want to talk!
Can someone help any solution?
