Galaxy S5 echo problem- only for other parties

Ok, similar to many others, my couple month old phone Galaxy  S5 has an echo problem. Situation is: Only other party hears it (not me), other party does not hear it when I am on microphone, or bluetooth, or speaker, which I think rules out a SIM card issue. Removed case, no effect. Resets, no effect. Take off battery cover, works good but not a realistic approach.

Defective phone? If I have a full warranty coverage, will I get a new phone or refurbished, once this is determined to be defective...which it is? thank you.

They'll send you a refurb phone but it probably won't echo like that.

Turn off the TalkBack App, it's causing an echo on speakerphone for me.  Others complain to me, I hear no problems.

My TalkBack app was not on and I just got my phone 2 days ago...I cannot use my speaker without people saying they hear an echo.  Also...when I have my phone not on speaker phone it is SO loud I can hear the person talking without putting the phone to my ear...I tried to turn the sound down...it's down all the way and still super loud...ugh...
