You can personalise your 3CX Android client by accessing the settings through:
“More” 
> “Settings” 
Accounts: Select, edit, remove or add accounts. Do not modify these settings unless advised to do so by your administrator.
Audio Options: Default audio options are usually already optimised, however should you require any additional changes there are 3 audio options:
Echo Cancellation: Minimise echo during calls
Silence Detection: Data will not be sent when the 3CX phone system detects silence. This conserves bandwidth but may also impact call quality when activated.
