iPhone 4S Echo Problem During Calls Fix
October 19th, 2011
We’ve received several reports of customers having problems with voice echo on their iPhone 4S. The echo does not immediately start during a call, but instead appears anywhere from 2-12 minutes into a call. Multiple iPhone 4S changes and headset changes produce the same results.
The problem appears to be software related.
Temporary Fix
When experiencing the echo, turn the speaker function on and off. This should clear up the issue temporarily and will have to be repeated every time the problem occurs.
Other Possible Fixes (Unlikely to help, but worth a shot)
Disconnect Your Headset
Restart Your Phone
Restore Your Phone
If you’re having similar issues, please let us know the specs on your carrier and models. The problem seems to be independent of size or color at this point, but the more information we have, the better.
** If you restored from a previous backup, please note that in the comments. If you started fresh, please note that as well. If you did restore, please also note what device you upgraded from.

Do not use apple headset. I use froggers. And keep volume low. The apple head set is so sensitive that it picks up the persons voice and that’s why you get the echo.

Make sure bottom speaker holes near charge/data port are clear of dirt fluff etc.
Fine metal grill clean with very fine brush and try not to push any thing in

I have the iPhone 4s and it came with an echo problem. For a long I did not know this problem existed because I never hear the echo. It is only heard by the person I call, where it is their voice that echoes back to them. My wife knows immediately it is me calling because her “Hello” is answered back to her in the echo. It happens about 90% of the time I call, and apparently it the echo can vary in intensity. Sometimes it will confuse the auto-attendant voice mail systems, because it interprets the echo as my response to a menu selection request. I had the SIM chip changed at the local AT&T store, but it made no noticeable improvement. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

The workaround seems to be turning the volume down. It only happens if your volume is at the max level.

I’m also facing the same problem with my Iphone 4S 16 GB which i bought a month ago. I’m facing with some couple of issues like, for both incoming and outgoing calls people on other side cannot hear me for first 4-5 seconds but i can hear them. There is an echo problem that starts after 1-2 minutes. Please hep me what to do on this.

I am having the same issue with echo on a 4s which I purchased in the last month or so. The issue started about a week ago and is not corrected by the solutions provided. It does not happen when using the speaker option

I had black 32 gig iPhone4 on which the echo started happening. 2 months ago I upgraded to iPhone 4S. The problem continued. My husband bought his iphone 4s at the same time, same store as mine and he has not experienced the echo problem at all. I reported to AT&T, they wrote a service ticket and after 2 weeks replied to me that they foumd nothing in the service that would cause the echo. They sent me back to Apple who gave me a new iphone4s. I set it back up from my backup and tried a call. The echo remained as before. My husband still has not heard an echo on his iphone4s. Very frustrating.
I see that the last post here is in January 2012. Has there been any progress>

i have an iphone 4s 16GB which i purchased in dec. 2011… the echo problem i guess is still not fixed by apple as i have the same issue. i have tried temporary fix like switching to speaker and back but that has not helped.
only that worked for me was to use the speak-ear phones. this needs to be fixed as i have paid US$ 700 and it is sad to get a product from apple which has high levels of quality for their products.

Mine is without a headset I might add. It just is normal everyday calling.

I have had the problem since I bought my phone a week ago. Everytime I call someone I hear a static noise for about three seconds then it starts echoing. If it doesn’t do that, then I ant hear anything during the conversation. It is just sileint.
