This is a major problem for me. I use my phone to run a business. I've been waiting for a fix for the call muffled issue. Every one of my clients I talk to says "huh....what...I can barely hear you. ". It's unbelievable to me that it has not been addressed through NUMEROUS updates.
We should not have to be disablling hardware to have a PHONE do what it is designed to do....TALK.
yes I know there is a "workaround".
I am beginning to think it's a device limitation by the placement of the notice cancellation mic. My other phones they are located at the bottom of the device on the back...not the top.
Can you share this workaround please? It's indeed very annoying.. I'm experiencing not only low volume, but also people often complain they hear them self twice..

You lose the benefit of noise cancellation. Phone calls in your car or other potentially noisy environments will suffer from the increased backround noise.
Not really.... I havent had any complaints. I used to get a lot of complaints about being to quiet, or echoing. Since I've done the above about two months ago, no problems.
On Verizon. I used to get complaints that people couldn't hear me. I disabled advanced LTE and the problem has gone away. I think this was due to the other person not having LTE calling or my phone switching back and forth. I haven't tried reactivating it since 7.0 update but I'm sure the problem is still there. Only downside to this is I don't get internet when I'm in the phone.

After the "workaround" forget about using speakerphone. After applying the "fix" now when o try to use speakerphone, people can't hear me at all. I'm talking and they just say hello... hello...you there...hello...
It's extremely aggravating to be honest. A flagship PHONE that doesn't have the most basic / common phone features working. This is not new technology folks....noise cancellation has been out since oh....idk... Motorola droid ONE.
This is why I'm telling you it's not a software issue. It's a hardware/ design flaw. The noise cancellation mic is in the wrong place. It needs to be down by the bottom where it can pick up speech and reasonably determine that it's not far away...hence blocking it as background noise.
Maybe we should open a problem log with Google...
It was opened long ago and they don't address it in the last several updates. Hence why i believe it is a design flaw. Surely it can't be that difficult to solve with the resources Google has.
So I just bought a 6P this September, and it suffers this problem. I bought it off someone who had replaced it under warranty, and the manufacterure waranty expired in november I think. He had luckily purchased the extended warranty. Should send it in, and if I do, will I get a used phone in return? My biggest fear is getting a phone with a used battery that people abused and overcharged, and it won't hold a decent charge. Seems how the battery isn't easily serviceable as it should be, this is a problem for me.

Hello,
I have just received my long-awaited Nexus 4. The screen is perfect, there is no static sound (at least not to the extent which would bother me), no flexing etc.
HOWEVER... I can hear cracking noise in the ear speaker whenever it is on. I.e. whenever somebody tells me something via it, the sound is like through an old speaker, cracking etc... The same problem occurs on all volume settings (I wouldn't be surprised if it occurred on the loudest setting). It is loud enough to be annoying.
Do you have any ideas what it is? Do you think there is some software fix, or should I RMA? Given the appalling Google store service (I am still waiting for shipping labels for Nexus 10), I would prefer to avoid it...
Thank you!

There is an issue where the speaker lets out a little buzzing sound but this hardly noticeable and doesn't interfere with the sound coming through the ear piece, so what you describe is a hardware fault, probably a faulty speaker. You will need to exchange it.

I called Google support and did an RMA. It's been a week and still waiting for the replacement to be shipped. Called again regarding the shipment of the replacement and the rep said he needs to forward the case to a specialist.
Anyway, I still think you should do an RMA. Why tolerate a defective device that you paid full price for?

So.... I have done RMA for both my Nexus 4 (cracking noise in earspeaker) and Nexus 10 (significant light bleed). The "UK" Google customer service is just appalling - they don't know anything and don't ship labels whatsoever. Shipping specialists are equally unhelpful and ignorant.
Although on paper the devices are nice - I am sorry, but Google devices have given me the worst experience I have ever had when dealing with ANY electronics in the whole of my life. I can truly say that I would be embarrassed to recommend buying any Nexus device to any of my friends...
The more I think the more I am convinced that I should have given up all the features and gone with iphone and ipad. Because it just works...
My girlfriend just upgraded from an S3 to an S5. Since then, the call quality on my end has been extremely bad. She is almost not understandable at times. This is worse when she calls my cell phone, but also happens on land lines. Not having had a chance to look in to this issue, I was curious if there were any settings that could possibly remedy this. I'll be seeing her in a couple days, and want to swap phones with her and let her hear what I'm hearing. However, if there is an easy fix I would like to be able to implement it then.
I'm not sure if root has been gained on this phone, but I'm pretty sure that she wouldn't be terribly interested in rooting or doing any other serious modifications. If this is an issue nobody else has, I'll probably suggest she take the phone back and get a new one.
Any help would be appreciated.
Idk where you are located, but my s5 was getting nothing but pretty wonky 3g and horrible calls for like 2-3 days straight, woke up this morning and everything was peachy .... wichita ks area. .. .... yes, we DO have 4g in ks... we are also nearing the end of bell bottom jeans and pretty close to getting cd players in all new cars brought into the state. ..

My dad has this problem. He has an S3 mini and I had an S3, so I was pretty familiar with the setup. I did the research and found at least two things we could try. I can't remember one of them as I don't think it helped (might have been turning off Noise Reduction in Call Settings). Funny thing was that when I looked it up, only left handed people had the problem. Apparently, they were covering the mics with their pinkies. I think the mic has shifted sides now. Check and see how she's holding it. If she's right handed, her pinky could sit right over the mic to steady the phone. My dad still has this problem...when he forgets he's covering the mic with his finger.

I seem to be having the same issue. I've had folks tell me that they are only getting every 2nd or 3rd word when using the regular mic or speaker. However, when I use bluetooth, there are no issues. Seems like a microphone issue but cannot seem to find anyone else with this but you.
I received my 6P yesterday, and by this morning I dropped it into a UPS box to send it back.
So, I got the 64GB aluminum version, it arrived a day after I placed my order. I set it up and let it install its OS update, which took forever, then I started to use it. Right away I noticed that the top speaker seemed louder than the bottom speaker when the phone was playing notification sounds. In two phone calls, people complained that it sounded like I was underwater or had them on speakerphone.
I was a little concerned by the speaker issue, so I took the time to play back audio from NPR and then tried a few videos. While playing back video, I flipped the phone this way and that, and moved the phone back and forth from ear to ear just to make sure I wasn't deaf in one ear. The top speaker was definitely much louder than the other. With the mic being housed with the bottom speaker, I'm lead to believe both issues are related.
I contacted customer support and the lady who took my call said that another user had called with the same issue, but she couldn't recall which model they had. She had spoken with the design team about this and they said it was a defect, that both speakers should be firing at the same volume level.
We did the mandatory factory reset and I fired up YouTube - then I moved my old phone back and forth over the speakers of the 6P and she could hear the difference too, so I ended up mailing it back for a refund - I plan to buy another, but an exchange would entail a $549 hold on my bank account, so a refund it is.
So, that said, I'm curious - has anyone else had this issue? I searched the web but didn't find anything, but I've tweeted to some people who were opening new devices and one of them said he felt the top speaker was louder on his unit too (I didn't say which speaker, I just asked if one was louder than the other), while another person said she'd follow up.
It seems like it's a relatively common issue.

Oh dear... I wouldn't have minded it if it was just a tad louder, but it was bad - plus I was having some speaker overdrive issues as well. I guess I'll wait for Google to process my refund and keep an eye on these threads before deciding if I want to take the risk again... Which sucks, because I was loving the phone. Hell, I picked this over a Lumia 950 XL because I wanted to use some half decent apps and have access to Tap to Pay. Sure, Android still waits forever for iOS apps, but Windows waits for never. -_-

I've blogged about this and have included all these links - thanks for the info! I really hope when I buy another one that it don't have the speaker issue. Google needs to step out and address Speakergate so users are aware of this issue.

I see on Reddit that some people are hearing the exact opposite of what I was told by Google support - Google support is telling them that this actually "feature" and not a flaw, which brings to mind old comics about Windows 95 and 98 bugs being labeled as features... -_-
If it's a "fault" on all phones then surely it's an easy software fix. I'm surprised none of the reviews mentioned it?

I too am amazed... But keep in mind that review units are hand picked and sent out by Google, so it's likely that phones without this flaw were sent to the press.
So... I found this out by mistake.
Check out the video.
You will have to turn up the sound in the video since its just a humming sound. Sounds like capacitors charging.

I guess none of you have used Smart Switch before? It's something I used on the daily working at T-Mobile to transfer data on customers' phones. The noise you're hearing IS coming from the speaker, it's an ultra-sonic noise emitted that the receiving phone that would be running Smart Switch, would pick up with its microphone and use it as a means of pairing. Think of it like the new Google Nearby API... If you ever play with a Nexus running Nougat, you'll have a similar experience transferring accounts and app install lists. It used to be an NFC pairing, now using the Nearby API it scans wifi, Bluetooth, and ultra-sonic pairing noises are probably also possible using it.

Yeah... still my phone gets hot and i still have a perfectly working note 5. I think I might just go back to that. Started SmartSwitch on that and can a very fain noise, not even comparable with the note 7.
TL;DR: It's fine, no one has a malfunctioning speaker in their Note 5 or Note 7.
Grab another device or 2, non-Samsung, and try Smart Switch to hear how each device's speaker is audibly different. Don't worry. It's by design for both phones. It's the limitations of the N5 speaker that prevent such a wide dynamic range to be reproduced. The speaker on the 7 has to also be water resistant. You ever hear any phone inside a Lifeproof case? The biggest complaint I hear is that it muffles the sound. Samsung didn't want that compromise the speaker experience when they went for their resistance rating. Just wanted to try and tamper down the hatred on an otherwise beautiful (if pricey) device. The battery fiasco sucks for them right now. No need to go all TMZ and try and put salt in their wounds by causing mass hysteria. Even the few other replies in this post could be quickly read and someone flies off the handle and goes to the nearest store.
#TheMoreYouKnow
For those who DO care about the retail aspect of this recall, this is going to be a VERY rough time for T-Mobile Reps, they're put under a TON of pressure to hit sales goals, and if they spend too much time doing customer service, their numbers suffer and they lose their jobs. Trust me, I know, I worked just shy of 2 years at a corporate kiosk in a mall that's probably going to be closed before the holidays. It was already a losing battle trying to hit goals, doing exceptional customer service to promote "Brand Loyalty" in yourself as a sales rep was a recipe for not even hitting 50% during the month of December.

I applied the voice echo fix persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false
This cured the issue while using phone up to my ear but anytime I use speakerphone which is something I often use I get the complaint that they can hear themselves echoing. I've tried setting both these to false still no luck.
persist.audio.fluence.voicecomm=false
persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false
Anybody had this problem and found a fix?
Thanks in advance
Rooted latest stock Marshmallow, latest xposed, latest kylo
Same. This issue is annoying me to no end. I'm about done with this device because of it. Unacceptable.
It has something to do with the SDK fluence or its a straight up design flaw with this phone. It's the only issue that keeps this from being a perfect Android device
Do you have any cases on your phone? I removed mine and haven't had problems since.
I feel like there has to be a fix for this issue. I do have a case on doesn't seem to make a difference if I remove it
It doesn't matter if you have a case or not. It still happens.
Same issue, any solution?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
No fix. If Google doesn't address it...it's a design flaw. I will be switching phones. Unacceptable to have any kind of talk issues on a flagship device
It's a network problem not your phone.
I disagree about it being a network thing. I'm with Telus tried it with my old nexus 5 don't have this issue I'd know as I actually talk on the phone a lot.
Does anyone know what persist.audio.fluence.voicecomm=false is actually for
And same for
persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false
Neither seem to impact the experience of using the speakerphone feature. I love this phone and don't plan on ditching it anytime soon I'm sure something could fix this issue.
I really can't believe that this hasn't been fixed and it's been a year since the phone came out.
It's probably a hardware fault rather than software.
It's DEFINITELY NOT network related. There is a Google bug report for it. They cannot fix it obviously. I agree with the idea that it is a hardware issue not software. Mainly because it's kinda stupid to put a noise cancelling mic at the top of a phone rather than the bottom. of course it is going to have some issues with being able to detect distance if voice because it's too far away from your mouth. It can't tell if it's ambient noise or user voice. I'd be fine if I could at least get the speakerphone echo to go away.
Pretty stupid for a 600+ $ device
Is it possible that there is dust stuck on the noise cancelling microphone, causing NC to not properly, leading to the echo?
No. It's a known issue. As in a bug. A design flaw. A defect. A software issue. Etc. It's not pocket lint

It's a MAJOR issue. Google seems to be quiet about it. Huawei won't admit a defect. 650 bucks for a piece of garbage.
I'm pretty much about ready to quit nexus devices. There's nothing flagship about a phone you can't talk on and companies that refuse to address the problem and instead just crank out more devices.
Such a shame.

While I agree that it is a big issue, I wouldn't exactly call it a piece of garbage.
It's still a great phone, and this doesn't actually stop you from talking on it (or using it for any other purpose it was intended for).
A temporary fix is to lower the in call volume, if the other person is complaining about the echo.
Also, I've just read more about this issue, and it was present in the Nexus 5 and 6, so it seems like it's a software issue.
I must say google disappointed me a bit with this, but I don't see why it should steer anyone away from nexus devices.
Lowering call volume doesn't even diminish the echo.
I say garbage loosley but I use my phone daily for a real estate business and my livelihood depends on it. So 4 hours a day phone calls and not being able to use handsfree is a big deal
Same problem. People hear themselves at the lowest to the highest level talk back.
People having problem hearing me if I am not talking directly to the lower mic.
Even moving my phone around and scratching the back, the caller hear the noise.
It should'nt do these problems.
I ordered a replacement. Hopefully the refurbished went through an extensive testing and those were part of it.
It's not a problem with an individual handset...it's a widespread bug. Your replacement will have the same issue. I'm hanging in to mine until a fix... because I don't want a refurb exchange for a new one with the same issues. It's a downgrade.
If Google doesn't FIX soon I'll be ditching nexus/pixel devices altogether. They are trending towards next release next release next release next release because they know that is what the nexus following will spend on. That's how they model their business. That's cool and all but if you make a device with a known issue and keep refusing to address it to just push out a new phone that people will buy.....that's not what im wanting to be a part of.

That's cool and all but if you make a device with a known issue and keep refusing to address it to just push out a new phone that people will buy.....that's not what im wanting to be a part of.

I dont think it's a software but hardware. I've read people with the same problem and exchange yes for a refurb and the problem was all gone.
Either way I'll take the refurb and if it's not satisfactory to my standard I'll just return it until I find a good one. If the problem is gone I'll keep it and sell it for the Pixel if it lives out to be better then the 6P.
Show me where someone had a refurb fix the issue
BTW if you lower the volume and there's still echo what I do is cover the back speaker with my finger and that usually does the trick
