Gear 2 Neo speaker static

[wtr2wine]

I have had my Gear 2 Neo for a while now with no issues. I usually charge it when it gets down to about 10% battery. The other day I allowed the battery to completely die before recharging. Since then I have had an issue with the speaker and static. I can't understand people when they call and they can't understand me. Even the S Voice goes in and out and has a hard time understanding what I am saying.

Is there any way to fix this?

Grasping at straws here but - have you tried restarting it since charging it, or removing and repairing the Bluetooth connection with your phone? I realize you had to start it after charging if it died completely, but worth a restart anyway as nothing to lose.
