I did a search and didn't see a post on this. Is anyone having mic feedback loop issues (screeching) when using Google Hangouts or Duo with speakerphone? It seems the software does not disable the mic when the speaker is broadcasting like it should and feeds back against itself.

I have the same issue. People say they hear an echo on hangouts when I talk to them. Bummer.

I have had an a500 since July. I am running a stock rooted 3.2 rom. I just got an iconia for my apple loving parents and we are trying to use them to video chat. Google talk was having issues so we tried the hangout in google+. The same behavior is on both iconias. As soon as the hangout starts, the mic is disabled. When I use my vivid instead it works just fine (they can hear me, but I can't hear them). Any suggestions on getting this to work?

I have the same issue. I'm running the stock 3.2.1 Android, and using the 2.3.0.240337 build of the Google+ app. I was able to have a webcam chat through Google Talk just fine a few hours before I tried the hangout.
We couldn't get google talk to be anything but a choppy mess. Facetime works like a charm. Very frustrating as this is the first time I have been able to crack the Apple armor and get them to try android.

None of those ideas helped. Still no mic.
I had the same problem. I could hear other people, they could not hear me. I installed a sound app (Master Controller Volume) from the Market and changed the outgoing call volume. Solved the problem.
The latest updates from Acer changed everything. Now I have such horrible noise in the Skype sound that it's unusable. With or without the volume app the sound is terrible. Good luck. I hope it works for you!
Hello everybody. I need help regarding a serious issue I have. When I am in call and I activate the speaker phone the other party can barely hear me saying the sounds is really low. But when I tried recording a sound it has no problems whatsoever. I have no idea why this happens but its really annoying me. I would really appreciate if someone suggests me a solution on this one, cuz I couldn't find any by now.
Something is most likely blocking the top microphone of the phone.

Anyone please give me suggestion on what should I do, this is really annoying me..

Have you removed any cases etc. as mentioned above? If you have, to rule out any software complications flash a factory image.

Thing is when I use voice recorde, I hear it loud as f***, so there're no issues. Only when speaking and launching the loud speaker they say they hear me very low. And yes my display was broken and they replaced it, maybe they ****ed something, but since the Sound Record works well, where's the logic?
If there is a case it is possible that when you record sound, the device is recording through the bottom microphone which is not obstructed, and the top microphone you use during calls may be obstructed resulting in your issue.
Aside from that, maybe there is some sort of volume/speaker/microphone app that was installed that is messing with your mic levels during a call. I would still suggest to remove any 3rd party accessories and if the issue still occurs, than backup your data and flash the factory image.

Did you call the same person each time you were testing it?

No, tested with a lot of people with normal voice calls. Also tried Viber, Facebook calls - same stuff. My logic is this: since I am recording my voice with a voice program from miles away, that isn't possible to be the lower mic. So the speakerphone should work fine. But on calls its a different story, i tried without the speakerphone to speak away from the phone (mimicking as if it is a sound rec app) they hear me even worse. What could be the issue? I am confused
anyone...please answer guys, need desperately your help
help
yes same

Keeping it recent, hopefully someone can help

Have you guys tried flashing the factory images?

No, but it hasn't anything to do with this. Tried several roms and kernels same results. I sent my phone for repair broken screen, after 1st delivery they even had the front camera not centered so i returned it back. Maybe the mic is broken? But if so, how come voice recording works well?
Person in the other end(call receiver) is unable to hear my voice properly. Only few times, the voice is clear. Sometimes, I too hear distorted voice in my side. This is a serious issue. You should consider this as High priority bug.
even we have updated lollipop and OTA. But nothing seems not solution for us. kindly tell us where will be the bug? is it in CM11 code base or CM 12 S code base. Either would be the mic or would be in something else?
This issue frustrating to everyone, not able to find the bug even after release of Lollipop?
Yes i too have the problem, all my callers complaining about the voice quality, very pathetic.

Occasionally my mic goes on mute when I receive \ make a call. I have just updated to 5.1.1
There is no pattern and I have tried everything.
I have seen elsewhere that other handsets are suffering from this bug. Has anyone else had it and can offer a fix
It's the worst when using skype with earphones. Doesn't even work

Exactly! Also reboot fixes the issue but after some time it starts muting again. Happens only on outgoing calls for me. On incoming calls microphone works.
So the only solution is factory reset? Maybe new .570 firmware build will fix the problem...
I think you guys should also take about your issue in talk.sonymobile.com
I made a thread there called "Skype issue on 5.1.1" in the Z3 Compact section. Sony needs to see this.

I'm also having the same Issue and realize that the real problem relies on Google app. If you disable the "OK Google" recognition on any screen the mic will work as it is..

After much testing of features and apps i have got the problem down to either OK Google from any screen or Sony Smart Connect.
It is only when 1 of those features are enabled, does the mic mute sporadically.
There is no pattern and therefore can be absolutely certain. My instinct us Sony Smart Connect.
Can you guys try a skype call using earphones? It really doesn't work. I have smart connect and google app disabled anyway. The mic just refuses to work

Nexus 4 same Problem. Only reason why I abandoned it and bought the z3c. Thought it was an hardware issue. Loved the device. Hrrgh.
Right now the z3c is in for repair. Display coming of and using the Nexus 4 again.
Following even more testing. I am convinced the problem is in Sony smart connect. disable and remove it.
Been working OK for a couple of days. Must reboot once deleted the app.
Note that some other apps have the same issue like Vidyo Desktop.
Trying to freeze off smar t connect, finger crossed
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.
