Is the other person hearing an echo?
• Try decreasing the volume on your smartphone to avoid coupling or feedback on
the other person’s end. This applies to both the speakerphone and to the handset
earpiece.
• Position the smartphone handset closer to your ear to prevent sound leaking back
to the microphone. Keep your hand away from the microphone hole, which is on
the bottom right side of your smartphone.
• If you’re using Speakerphone mode with your smartphone lying on a flat surface,
try turning the smartphone “face down” (screen facing the surface).
Are you hearing your own voice echo?
Ask the other person to turn down their volume or to hold the phone closer to
their ear.
Is your voice too quiet on the other end?
Be sure to place the bottom of the smartphone, or the hands-free microphone, close
to your mouth.
Check the signal strength indicator. If the signal is weak, try to find an area with
better coverage.
