Yes, I've been looking for anyone with this same issue and it's been hard to find. Everyone I talk to says when I have them on speaker, the reception sounds poor to them, lots of static but on my end it always sounds fine. When I take them off speaker and hold the phone to my ear they say it sounds much better. I have searched alot on this topic and have not really been able to find anything. I thought maybe it's a samsung defect with this model. I have the Verizon sch i515 version. Kind of disappointed with it because I prefer to use the speaker.
