Here is my story.

The phone was unusable when noise cancellation was enabled. Tried to tweak values in servicemenu - mic boost seemed to improve things, but... still bad mic quality.

Lived with phone app that had NC disabled by default.

Tried to cut rubber from bottom mic. Tried to reseat speaker, both mics. No improvement. Still to much echoes.

Now the answer. After replacing part with USB port and mic the sound quality became perfect! I did the replacement myself so I am sure nothing else was changed or reseated or taped. Just changing the USB port/bottom mic part does solve mic/NC issue.

I had echo since I used the Otterbox.

The cardboard trick completely fixed it for me!

Thank you!

Interesting thread BUT it isn't always a hardware issue!!

I bought 2 phone(same day)

1 Italian

1 European

The Italian unit had the KI4(older version) firmware which causes the echo effect, flashed it with the European(other phones version-newer) units firmware and the echo effect went away but unfortunately KIES UPDATE didn't recognize the unit anymore.

So to cut this all short since I wanted to keep it stock, I modded the Phone.odex and now all is well!!

[Galaxy S II General] toxicdust:
So some extent I could say yes, Firmware could be accounted for the issue BUT 95% of ppl have already ruled out the firmware and are tired of turning NC on of on of the whole time during calls to see if it improves.

In that scenario 95% of ppl get success in just opening the phone and performing the simple fix by re-seating the speakers and sensors and applying some form of pressure to the top speak.

Firmware could fix the problem but the firmware then only lightens the actual problem or removes the NC functionality. Whats the point then of having the hardware when its half backed and not being used.

The NC is a important part of the phone. I can drive in my car with my window open at around 80km/h without the other person hearing any wind shear. So by disabling it is kinda pointless tbh :)
[Galaxy S II General] ballmead:
You could always close your car window too. :)
[Galaxy S II General] matzarisz:
I have recently bought this phone and I was so disappointed when people from the other side of the "line" were hearing themselves in echo...

Searched XDA and found this topic and solved my problem for good. I used polyethylene and the result is very very little echoing with case and without any echo without case!

Thanks a lot folks!

Ok, I have made it -

here is a link to a video where you can see how to open a sgs2 in the right way (if somebody has the same problems like me):

http://pinout.net/disassemble/content.php?nid=203

After putting a piece of a business card over the speaker my echo is nearly gone - perhaps I will try the other steps (described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21795243&postcount=62 ) to destroy it completely.

But my girlfriend says it is much better as before now, only a small, little echo remains but not disturbing.

Samsung do recognise it as a warranty fix now if you ask them. They will tell you to turn off noise reduction and make sure nothing is covering one of the two microphones. But eventually they will book it in.
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
Found some packing polostyrene,the kind you have surrounding a laptop in a delivery box. Cut some small pieces to replace the strip of card-also ensured the area around the top mic was stuffed around with it to ensure sound wasn't escaping. Also whilst doing this i found the mic covers were covering the mics but the cut outs were not fully cut to cover the entire square mic components-was this meant to be? I have trimmed it so the the rubber housing now seats over the entire square component. Will test and see if its helped. Gotta talk my wife into being my guinea pig!

[Galaxy S II General] toxicdust:
Thanks BUT OMG!!!!

If a technician worked with my phone like that dude did with his there is a reason I dont book my phone in for anything.

I have found better results with using a Rubber Band. For those having still a little echo but its "ok" in your opinion you could open it up again and then just put some rubber band on it and that should fix it completely.

Just cut the Rubber band to the length you need and then also apply it to the bottom mic to isolate it from inner case echo.
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
Well after my first phone call with my wife she said there was no echo. Time will tell i shall see after a few more calls! Very promising though!

[Galaxy S II General] Ticiano:
I made this fix and it worked well for me, but I just missed this part and my screws now are all messed. Am I screwed? :p

Anyway, I can't notice any malfunction by now.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] toxicdust:
It has no physical affect on your phone. Its just for when you take the phone in for warranty repairs the Locktite screws could be identified by the technician as if they were in the correct place and the phone was never opened. That's the only purpose as not all the screws have Locktite on them
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:

i used some foam to fix mine, when i opened the cae up therewas no rubber on the bottom mic, my echo was really bad on the other callers phone, since putting some bubble foam around the mic and doing back up it has elimitated the echo and is crystal clear on the other end :D thankyou

I was one of the few people that this mod didn't work for.

The echo is now gone with the latest ICS roms.

I now have my full tpu gel cover on and the people I talk to can no longer hear themselves talking.

[Galaxy S II General] leon0602:
I have the echo trouble on three S2 and have solved by installing a version without noise reduction (example LPG version). In my case is only a software trouble connetected to the noise reduction. Before i have tried the hardware solution but doesn't work at all for me. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] ctomgee:
FYI, that solves it because disabling the noise reduction only masks the symptom. If the hardware solution didn't work for you, I hate to say it, but you did it wrong. Sorry.
[Galaxy S II General] mawgaman:
Works perfectly now!!!

Thanks you so much, I was under the impression this problem was due to software issues, but after using your method I have no echo, thank you so much for your help
[Galaxy S II General] just looking:
My wife has had this phone for over a year now and luckily enough not had the echo till last few weeks. I just pulled it apart to find rubber around noise cancelling mic was dislodged. I refitted it & the problem was still there when in a case. I then decided to try a software update (well overdue) & now it is upgraded to ICS and the problem is gone again. So as mentioned throughout this thread the problem must be a combination of software & hardware issues.

Very useful thread... ta
[Galaxy S II General] Redsandro:
This is a nice explanation for the echo that only happens without earphones or with noise cancellation turned off.

I got my new SGS2 (with ICS stock so I do not have previous poster's problem) a few days ago, and this is such an easy fix. Which is annoying, because I cannot do it myself without voiding the warranty 4 days in, and I have no interest in posting my SGS2 off somewhere for 5 weeks for some engineer in a different continent to look and say there's nothing wrong.

About preferring paper above insulation tape, I understand that glue might be a problem. What about duct tape folded so that neither side is sticky? It has more resilient glue than insulation tape.

My problem with paper is that it absorbs moist, and I don't want that in my phone.

[Galaxy S II General] toxicdust:
Just use a rubber band and cut it to the right size. I opened mine up way back when again just to replace all the paper pieces with rubber band and its been perfect. You should also note the bottom mic should be enclosed. That could also be the problem

Hello everybody,

I finally finish my first android app : TapTapWar, a 2 players touch game.

It is a very simple game : the screen is devised in 2 parts, each player have one part of the screen and have to click on the colored squares that turns on. The faster win the game. Some bonus can help you to win. As often in race game, you have more chance to have a bonus if you are losing ...

Options let you decide the number of points to win the game, the bonus, the number of squares.....

you can also play alone against the phone or against the clock.

There is also a version (but not free) with Bluetooth game to play with 2 android phones.

The game is very simple but it is a good way to play with a friend for very short

touch fights :)

Off course all your comments are very welcomed.

Link to the market : i am not able to post outside link , here since 4th February 2009 but not enough post :( So you can find it by looking for 'bebevander' in the market. Unfortunately, when i published my game i realized that an other game with the same name was just published 4 day before mine. But my game was finished and i already did the logo, all the screen shot, advertise picture, etc... so i kept the same name. Do you think it was a mistake ?

Hi,

I would like to use the AV dock in my car, the problem with the speaker is in the update 514 fixed.

How can I prevent the plug in the dock home screen is displayed.

Is there a way to stop this?

Thank you.
[Dell Streak 7] sainthooligan:
You might try the same original workaround for the audio listed here: http://www.tabletroms.com/forums/streak-7-accessories/3622-s7-docking-station-works-but-minor-audio-issue-after-stock-honeycomb-update.html because the workaround prevented the dock home screen from displaying (which also kept the speaker selection prompt from displaying). It is possibly that it may function the same in the 514 (I have not yet tried this on the 514 - not necessarily a need to now- but expect it could the same "bypass" results as on the original HC release.).

Basically, put the device in sleep/standby mode by tapping the power button, wait a few seconds, put on the dock, then tap the power button and if the behavior is the same in 514, it will give you the unlock screen and then bypass the dock screen....may not be a "permanent" solution for you but...

UPDATE- have tried this with 514 and the dock, the workaround as described will bypass the dock home screen.

1. I have locked my secure element through the Google Wallet stuff.

2. There is a dark spot on my screen, it's hardly unless it's behind a light, solid color background, but this little circle on the screen is still.... there. The attached image is a picture of it. It's not too clear in the picture, but it's very noticeable when browsing the web or facebook and such. it's that little darker patch in the direct center of that circle, it's perfectly in-between lines.

Should I go with the hassle of swapping it for a new one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Antonioffaxii:
I figured this would be the best place for a post. I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus in Australia and with Telstra's new 4G LTE network being recently introduced, is there anyway I could enable my device to pick up the signal? It should be on the standard 1800MHz frequency, though it may not be prioritising it as the connection if that's the case.

It should technically be possible assuming the phone can pick up 1800MHz (which after some searching, it can afaik). It's more of a question of how.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
I don't believe this is possible but I sure do hope it could be.

I am in a Telstra 4G LTE area but currently using Next-G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Antonioffaxii:
They are apparently to be getting an upgrade via Telstra to support LTE, so it should be possible. Unless I was lied to, which is always possible when you put the back-of-house tech guys on the spot. This will apparently be happening late in the year though, and it seems stupid to wait that long when the facilities are already there to be used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
I thought the GN was only capable of 21Mbps max.

Looking through the specs, GSM GPRS and EDGE support 1800MHz but HSPA does not...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Antonioffaxii:
The Telstra HSPA uses 850MHz band from memory, the new Telstra LTE uses 1800MHz. Even if the device is limited to 21Mbps, I'd at least like to be able to get to that speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Antonioffaxii:
Hoping someone knows how.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
GSM and LTE are two different platforms. It's like trying to use a AMD processor in a Intel socket. It just doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Antonioffaxii:
So even though it has the capability to pick up 1800MHz, it's impossible to utilise it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Most likely, yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Antonioffaxii:
That's odd, and disappointing :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Avalonnw:
Well,

There are LTE versions around, and I'm wondering whether they will work with Telstra or not. Another question is about possibility of flashing LTE firmware onto GSM phone and recovering it back if something goes wrong. Has anybody tried that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It will not work. There aren't "LTE versions". There is 1 LTE version being sold (1 more on the way for Sprint), and its a

CDMA

/LTE device from

Verizon USA

.

Best case scenario you just ODIN back to GSM firmware. Worst case, you brick your phone.

Don't try it. It won't work. Waste of time. Flashing different firmware to the phone isn't going to change the physical radios in the device. Just buy an i9250 and you'll get HSPA+.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yeah just to make it clear in case there's any confusion, the nexus will absolutely not work with lte. Not possible at all, no way to flash anything etc. It is missing the hardware needed.
