I didn't notice this until I was using it to make calls and using the speaker. When I make a call using hangouts, speaker phone causes an echo not for me but for the people I call. I confirmed this and its something to do with OnePlus Two, even this issue persists on OnePlus One, even til this day.
This seems to affects 3rd party apps like Skype, Hangouts, ect.. If calls are made with the phone (SIM) speaker phone echos don't happen at least not through extensive testing.
Can anyone else confirm this issue? The echo goes away with bluetooth or headset mic connected. Just sucks that this exists.
I have the same problem
Me too. The feedback in hangouts makes it unusable for video calls.

When I do a voice call the person I'm calling always hears their own echo but hears perfect on my end. When I use earphones without a mic same problem, when I use earphones that have a mic the call hears perfect on both ends. Normal calls without Skype works perfect. What's the problem? ):
Not much you can do about that, echo over internet calling is common, if you are using it on speaker then you can watch your volume level which might help but through earbuds the person should not be hearing an echo and if they are then it'll likely a problem with lag and skype itself rather than your device.
I've been having this problem where I call someone or they call me and they can't hear me. The microphone seems to be working fine for Google Now and other stuff. But it's the Phone app that seems to be the problem. After a couple days of turning the volume to silent/normal/silent/normal, the Phone app's microphone becomes muted. People can't hear me when they call or I call.
This seems to be a bug in the LG phone app. Anyone ever have this problem?
Anyone else experiencing super low microphone volume when using hangout calls on speakerphone/video calls? The other person i'm calling says they can barely hear me.

yes, very much so. I may have found a weird workaround as this was annoying me for some time. You must leave the call screen up and let the first couple rings happen with speakerphone off. Then switch to speakerphone and do not leave the screen or turn off the call screen until the call is initiated. After that mess that i stumbled upon, i could be heard much better when making a speakerphone call with hangouts. Also, make sure not to cover both the front speakers or the mic in the back. Basically you must hold the phone in your hands as I believe laying it down on either face will obstruct mics.... Obviously a flaw that should be worked out I would hop with software or hangouts updates. I have opened a complaint thread on the google hangouts forums. I suggest you go there and explain that you have the problem too so that it may be looked at a bit more...
Thanks, posted on the Hangout support forum, so one else replied and said they have the same issue as well. Unfortunately though, I can't get your trick to work for me, super low mic volume unless I put my mouth right next to the top speaker grill. Hopefully this gets fixed, I think my wife is tired of seeing my chin during video calls.
I'm experiencing the same problem but with WhatsApp calls. It also happen on normal phone calls where there's no sound coming or going out, have to hang up and try the call again.
Anyone notice the speakers are only good at 100%.. Lower it to 90-80% and I can barely hear them, standing at about 1ft - 1.5ft
No news on this? Renders speaker calls on Hangouts, Viber etc useless.
Also, where on Google Forums did you post?
I have had the phone for about a month now, and I have an issue where if the call is on loudspeaker for me the other person hears a lot of echo.
I believe it to be because it diverts to the top microphone when in loudspeaker, but I am not sure what the issue is.
When doing the hardware test the 'top-mic' test is extremely echo-y. I can do a video of this if it helps, but its just looping the original sound back and keeps getting louder and louder. The main-mic is fine.
Anyone experienced this and have a solution? Thanks
Edit: I have tried a few things like the Micfix module but that didnt help.

Please someone give any type of solution in details. The on call mic volume killing me. I have to put the earphone mic fully on my lip for the other person to hear me!
I used app from play store to check and I guessed it right, while mic mode was on 'Direct' and I recorded from usual earohone mic distance, then the sound was, loud and clear. But when I recorded in the same condition in the mode 'Communication', then I barely can hear me. Now after this test, I am sure the problem is in the feature 'microphone noice cancellation' for calls only. So as I identified the issue, is it impossible to fix? Can I totally disable the function 'noice cancellation' on my device? Please help. I am in desperate need of a fix during this covid pandemic as many many important meetings are happening online.
Mic is loud enough on the general phone call app though!!!
But very low on any online call like messenger call / whatsapp call / discord call / google meet call / zoom call. But if I record on messenger or whatsapp, it sounds alright. I repeat, recorded general sound is OKAY but not when on call on any app other than general phone call app. Tested same earphone on same apps from an old samsung phone too. No problem found there at all! Sounded clear while using samsung during messenger call / whatsapp call / discord call / google meet call / zoom call. So don’t say it's mic's fault. It isn’t. It is software handling problem as far as I can understand. Please show me a way fast.
exactly the same problem i have been facing since long , but discovered just a week ago

mine is completely opposite. I have to put on headphones to hear anything. One day I handed to my phone to someone, and he said there is no sound. When I put on my ear, I understood what the problem was. It is actually inaudible to any normal person. it is on stock rom, unrooted. Also the problem peaks if someone call from to my jio sim, using a MI phone. There is no problem in sim, cause I switched mine to another phone and it was fine, sound was cristal clear.
