Voice quality
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 closer to your ear to prevent sound leaking
back to the microphone. Keep your hand away from the microphone
hole, which is on the lower-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
smartphone closer to their ear.
Is your voice too quiet on the other end?
Be sure to hold 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.
