Hi Firas,
i have the same issue after A11 update. But not only in speakermode. The normal calls too. The people on the other site of the line are hearing they own voice in echo. And they canât hear me correctlyâŠbad quality. Also problems with saved images on the storage of the CM. Canât replay pictures (WhatsApp, Signal). When i want to send a pic on my Foto-Storage on the CM the Application says : Sorry this file donât exist on your internal storage. May it could be a permission case after Update!..BR Miran

I also have problems with the Speaker.
The sound is loud for 1 second and then soft again. Listening to Music and watching Videos is not possible because it is far too quiet, even at full volume. The same problem with the Ringtone. Is there an Update coming here? Otherwise I have to send the Device back.

Hello @Mirhannes
Yes, the echo issue realized after Android 11 released.
We are trying to resolve it.
Regarding Whatsapp, itâs a common issue on other devices (other brands) as well, here is a solution:
Thanks, I am waiting for a solution.
As you can read everywhere, every second Phone is affected with the Loudspeaker problem.
Android 11 Runs very good. Some Bugs weâre solved (e.g.: disconnection from WLAN).
Iâm very satisfied.
Congratulation to the Team!
I really like the phone and I am happy using it every day.
Besides the known bugs at the current version I have problems with the camera. Autofocus isnât really working. Is this still a topic which will be resolved by a future update?
Wish you all great Christmas holidays and a happy new year!
SMALL SUMMARY
VERY NICE
Super solved with the SWICH OFF-function. Latina no longer twists her hand and can elegantly click on the large buttons. However, it happens that the off button moves one position to the right there shows a harmless button LOCK.
CAMERA impresses with the added user-friendliness and has been further pepped up. The âBEAUTY functionâ is very useful for every photo layman. - Small weakness has occurred to me â photo: sky too blue â changed only a few meters the location.
Actually, great idea with the loading information when the device is active - at the bottom of the LOCK SCREEN display. At the first, the information is somehow not correct - second also (see photos).
DISPLAY
turn off automatically â more option possibilities - good idea
presenting the font/display size with -/+ - nice solution
NEGATIVE
TELEPHONE: connection very bad - noisy and sounds distorted (on both sides).
APP info/activity texts - unfortunately some of them in English and not in the selected language (big obstacle: who does not know English / product imperfection).
new BATTERY display is disaster when device is off. It does not show the charge level. Only at 100% comes the usual blue display when pressing the power button. -
I wish the old blue battery display completely back!

Wow! thank you very much! It just worked immediately 
Ich habe mir das Carbon vor wenigen Tagen geholt und gleich das Android 11 Update darauf gemacht. Man kann mit dem Telefon kaum telefonieren: Bei mir ist es bei maximaler LautstĂ€rke immer noch recht leise, die Lautsprecherfunktion macht den Ton kaum lauter. Beim GegenĂŒber knackst es und man hört sich deutlich doppelt. Scheinbar bestand das Problem schon vor 1 Monat wenn ich hier in den BeitrĂ€gen lese. Liegt das Problem am Android Update, an den Lautsprechern oder etwas anderem? Wird es und wann bzw. wie schnell wird es behoben? Ich fĂŒhle mich gezwungen, das Telefon zurĂŒckzuschicken, falls das Telefonieren so schlecht bleibt.
AuĂerdem ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Kamera sobald es etwas dunkel wird, sehr unscharf in der Vorschau ist (wobei die HĂ€lfte der Bilder dann tatsĂ€chlich scharf ist, wenn man geklickt hat, aber eben unscharf in der Vorschau). Wird hier noch etwas gemacht? Ist das generell ein Problem?
[I got the Carbon a few days ago and immediately did the Android 11 update on it. You can hardly make calls with the phone: It is still quite quiet for me at maximum volume, and the speaker function hardly makes the sound louder. The other party crackles and you can clearly hear each other twice. Apparently, the problem existed 1 month ago as I read in the posts. Is there a problem with the Android update, the speakers, or something else? Will it be fixed and when or how soon? I feel compelled to send the phone back if the calling remains this bad.
Also, Iâve noticed that as soon as it gets a little dark, the camera is very blurry in the preview (although half the pictures are actually sharp when you click, but just blurry in the preview). Is something else being done here? Is this a problem in general?]
Ich habe die gleichen Probleme mit dem Handy und bin auch enttĂ€uscht. Wenn du das Telefon tĂ€glich nutzt und keine Alternative hast, dann wĂŒrde ich es zurĂŒck schicken und ein besseres kaufen. Der Hersteller hat meiner Meinung nach sein Gewinn fĂŒr das Telefon mittlerweile eingefahren und ist an einer schnellen Lösung fĂŒr die doch sehr gravierenden Fehler kaum noch interessiert. Das Telefon ist âBorn in Germanyâ und wir KĂ€ufer sollen uns in englischer Sprache gestikulieren ??? Warum eigentlich ? Das ist schon sehr absurd, wie ich finde. Wenn man mittlerweile die vielen Rezessionen ĂŒberall im Internet oder auf YouTube liest, wundert es einen kaum, das der Preis immer weiter in den Keller geht.
Hello all,
@Alex we didnât make profit⊠we made some revenue, but at loss.
we are working now an investment round for Carbon Mobile, to extend our team and support.
Regarding the Audio echo issue with Android 11, we are working closely with engineers, ODM and MediaTek to resolve the issue in the next update.
We are not giving on you all.
Also, the team, investors, partners and myself are using Carbon smartphone, so any general issue is affecting us all.
This community and all Carbonizers mean a lot to me and the team.
And we are not giving up on you.

Hello Firas,
Thanks you will solve the audio problem in the next update. Please also remember to include a possibility of additional volume increase for people with hearing problems.
Thank you so much.

Wann wird das nÀchste Update voraussichtlich sein? Ich höre von meinen Telefonkontakten nur Unzufriedenheit auf der anderen Seite und möchte das anderen nicht lange zumuten + die geringe LautstÀrke auf meiner Seite - wird da auch etwas gemacht?
Und auf das Kameraproblem wurde nicht eingegangen - besteht da denn Interesse, dass das gelöst wird?
Hallo@alle, ich habe die selben Probleme mit meinem 3. Carbon! Telefonieren ist praktisch seit dem Update nicht mehr möglich, da keiner versteht was ich sage. AuĂerdem ist die LautstĂ€rke beim telefonieren zu gering obwohl sie voll aufgedreht ist. Das Display reagiert bei mir ĂŒbersensibel und die KameraqualitĂ€t , so habe ich den Eindruck, ist ebenfalls nicht mehr so gut wie vor Android 11.
Wann rechnet ihr mit dem Update zur Fehlerbehebung.
Schon jetzt vielen Dank dafĂŒr
viele GrĂŒĂe

Hello there,
Are there any news about a bug fixing update? If there is no actual timeline it would be nice if we can perform a rollback to the latest stable Android 10 version.
Maybe you should try to involve the community to develop on the OS. I am a big fan of LineageOS but I am no Android developer (yet!).
I really like the phone and it would be too sad if it just ends here. I think you should go open source and push the process in this way.
Greetings
Really happy with my Carbon (except speaker and micro-issurs) -
Stephan
