Hi,

Few problems here.

My Samsung Galaxy S5 (approx 2 years old) has recently started producing a feedback loop for the person on the other end while talking normally. For the record, this problem has existed the entire time I've had the phone for Speakerphone mode. I sent the phone in for repairs four times... even had a new phone given to me and still the speakerphone feedback continues. I came to assume its a manufacture fault with the S5. The problem has now extended to regular talking as well!

Reading forums so far, I've tried:

- Removing the Incipio case (for a while it worked and now makes no difference) *never worked for speakerphone
- Disabled the "TalkBack" application - (did nothing)
- Tried turning off Noise reduction option in call settings (did nothing)

I'm at a loss - this problem is super annoying and means I have to use my phone with headphones permanently plugged in.

Any help would be great appreciated!!! Thanks
 
I have two S5 phones, both in service.

we use both of them on speaker phone all the time, and so far, knock knock, we have not experienced what you have...

I feel that you have a SIM card configuration issue.
Contact your carrier and tell them what is going on.

My Note 4 was having a problem a while back, and a new SIM card fixed it.
 
What carrier? My sister can't use Verizon's VoLTE, she gets horrible echos and feedback. It's a Moto X Pure but still and all...I have the same phone with no issue.

Interesting, I hadn't considered that as an option. Now that I think about it however, I was originally on a 2 year plan with Virgin Canada whom I got the Galaxy S5 through. As I mentioned above, I actually had the phone replaced with a new one following countless problems with feedback. The new one has the same problem. Once I paid the phone plan off, I switched to a new pay as you go SIM in December 2015. The speakerphone issue has persisted that whole time .... through both phones and both SIM cards.
 
Anyone else have any ideas? BUMP

As an UPDATE. Phone works fine on regular calling now but speakerphone is a useless function on my galaxy s5. Can't use it
