This started very recently but I am getting the complaint more and more. If I am alone and in a private place I will put a call on speaker if I will be on it more than a minute or so. More of those calling me, or me calling them, are saying their voices are bouncing back to them making it difficult to talk. Meaning I have to take it off speaker. Is there a potential fix for this?
 
i've seen quite a handful of others complain about this.
it's likely some issue with the software failing to filter out what should and shouldn't be taken as correct audio input.
You'll want to reproduce issue then report to Samsung Members app > Get Help > Error Report
 
Does it matter if you take off your case? This can help in some situations.
 
I've had this same case on for the 6 months or so I've owned this phone and this is a fairly recent problem. Maybe the last month.

And may I ask who or where is this?
 



It has not done this for several days now but I had to turn the wi-fi calling back on. Was out later the same day I turned this feature off and I could not turn my security cameras on from my app no matter how much I tried. As soon as I turned the wi-fi calling back on the camera app worked again. Not sure how/why though. But no one has complained about their voice bouncing back since then. We shall see.

And I lied. Still happening. I did some Googling and found this seems to be a pretty popular complaint on the S-21. No one seems to have an answer and this includes Samsung. For the amount of money I paid for this phone this is unacceptable. I read one guy changed out his case several times to no avail and I know the "case" question has come up on here as well.
 
What carrier do you use? I wonder if it's related to carriers rather than actual devices.
 
This has been an ongoing issue for me for at least 6 months and I am not alone. Galaxy s21+ on Verizon. It's so weird. The person on the other end of a Wi-Fi call always hears their voice echo very loudly back to them. And the strange thing is it's only if that person is on a landline and I am on Wi-Fi calling. If I use Bluetooth ear buds not a problem. If the person I am calling is on a mobile phone also not problem. If I am on regular calling not a problem. It is only when I am on Wi-Fi calling and the other party is on a land line do they hear the echo. It does not matter what landline I am talking to or what Wi-Fi network I am on. I contacted Verizon and Samsung on this and nobody really seems to have an answer. A reboot does fix it but the problem comes back after a few hours or a few days at the latest. I hope that either Samsung or Verizon could fix this with a software update. In the meantime I have disabled Wi-Fi calling. Are you having similar issues?
