Help Voice echo. Anyone else getting this?

I am experiencing the same problem with my new S3 Galaxy. I will try removing the cover, but if it is the cover...thats sucks because I just spent $20.00 on it!
 
I had my phone reflashed by ATT. That is a waste of time. Clearly, the case is the catalyst of the issue as easily determined through simple experimentation. I put 2 tiny pieces of cellophane tape over the top mic and put the Otter case back on. Problem solved and it has not come back. Did this 2 months ago.
 
Hi all, not sure if this is a dumb question, but why can't I just snip the wires, remove the NC mic altogether & throw it out?
Does it really make such a huge improvement to the call quality that it is indispensible?
 
nezero at xda-developers has written an app that can switch off the Noise Cancellation function of the phone altogether - thus permanently eliminating the voice echo on the other end. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1938424

Click the link in the post, download the app as an .apk and install directly on your phone. (Firstly, you need to enable installation of non-market apps on your device.)

App was written for the SGS2 GT-I9100, but tested & working on my Samsung Galaxy S2 4G (Telstra - Australia) 'Celox' GT-I9210T.
 
To all,
I am also having "echo" problems with all my calls on `the other` end with a brand new (~1 week old) Samsung Galaxy S5 w/Verizon. Even the rep at the Verizon store, with whom I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S3, acknowledged he had the echo "...a little bit...". I tried de-selecting Noise Reduction and Voice Privacy with no effect. Even a call from this phone to a land line, recipient had the echo on their land line phone. No known problem with the Samsung Galaxy S3. I liked it enough to want to upgrade. It seems that the problem is more pronounced on long distance calls. I plan on taking it back to the store for a "fix" to mine or a replacement. This problem is VERY real to the point that it's UNUSABLE for long distances. Date: 29-July-2014.
