@Mia13 There can be multiple reasons for you to be encountering the symptom you mention.

1. Is the other party your talking to using their phone in speakerphone mode too?
2. While you are using Speakerphone Mode. Is the Sound Level? (Volume at Max)
3. Did this start after you updated your phone?

They had the speaker phone on as well. I just got this phone yesterday and it did have an update! I tried it at max volume and it still did it 😞

What you are hearing is called a Sound Feedback Loop Delay. Your hearing your voice through their Speakerphone being relayed back to you. Although we would think that our phone calls are instantaneous. They do have a slight delay. Not percievable usually. But, when both people parties are using Speakerphone. This happpens. (Especially when both Caller's are on Different Carrier Networks)

You can try it for yourself. Have two phones in the same room. Talk on one phone in close proximity of the other phone. Really close by. You will see that it happens. (Especially when the two phones are on Different Carrier Networks)

I hope that I have answered your question. I assure you that it's not your phone or their phone. If I have answered your question. Please accept my solution as "Accepted Solution" Thank you for using the Samsung Member's App!

Of course if you have any other questions. Please feel free to post again. Thank you!

I called someone in the same room as me, and it didn't happen at all. I also called someone on snapchat and I could hear the feedback here and there. Thank you for your input!:)

Are they on the same Carrier Network as you are?

The person on the snapchat has a different carrier. The person I called in the same room does have the same carrier

When you tested your phone with the other person on their phone in the room with you. We're you both using Speakerphone? Also are you using a Cell Phone case, and is the other person using a Cell Phone Case too?

The water resistant cases like Otterbox or other "Highly Water Resistant" cases can cause a sound resonance inside the case itself. Sound being fed from the speaker being fed into the microphone. Causing the echo-effect! (Sound Resonance)

Being that the person using Snapchat has a different carrier. There is a slight delay. This is what I was explaining to you before. It's not your phone

We both had speaker on and I tried going in a different room and it still didn't do it with me. But that person has the same carrier as me. I do have a case, I bought it at the store where I got the phone from! I'm not sure what the brand is but it is a pretty chunky case.

***We like to think that our communications are instantaneous. However, most of the time we don't perceive that there is any delay. However, as can be demonstrated, and replicated. When both caller's are using Speakerphone, and are on Different Carrier Networks. There will be an Echo Effect. We're talking mere Milliseconds here.

Usually it's not an issue because usually we can't hear the other party's phone. But it does happen. It's not your phone or the other caller's phone. This is normal.

You can even replicate this effect for yourself by having two phones. Call one phone and answer the call. Hold both phones to your ears. You will hear the Echo Effect in one of the phones. (In this instance even if both phones are on the same Carrier Network) I have done this myself. I hope that my detailed explanation will help many people who have encountered this.***

****This tip will also alleviate the effect as well: Turn Mono Audio ON! This SOMETIMES works***

What is mono audio?

Re: Re: Re: Echoing.

Anonymous — Sat, 11 Nov 2023 06:34:43 GMT

Mono Audio Sets the Sound Output of your Phone to Output the Sound from only one Speaker instead of both speakers. Technically this isn't something that a user should have to do. But in some cases it will fix the echo. Not always though!
