HELP PLEASE! I can't hear caller voice

All of the sudden I can't hear caller voice, but when I put on speaker then everything is ok. I then switch back to regular mode and can't hear. As if I am on mute. Anyone have the same problem? or help me pin the problem. The phone rings fine.
Please help the old guy out geniuses.
Thanks in advance

hi,
i think that your problem is not software but hardware...it happend to me...just the little speaker broked....you have to change that or you can use with bluetooth headset....
Keep in mind that this is my experiene , i don't know if it be the same for you..but i think so

How many speaker are there on the phone? I thought only one right? the music, handfree speaker is fine. If there are more than one speaker, please direct me a site where I can order it. Thanks
For some reason, I think this is more software problem then hardware. The phone is in my case and never drop and taking really good care of it.

Hi!
I have same issues here.
I think there is a rom problem or somenthing like that...
Here I have to reset.. make alot of calls to test .. raise de volume up.. change speaker and works... its really annoying.
BTW.. I was using Cloudy 1.3 and was flawlessly. Changed to Gen.Y D2 R2 , issue is back .. =(

I think it's a software problem.Have you installed any software like codec or some other audio/sound application?If so try to uninstall it and resart your device.If not try a hard reset.

i believe there are 2 speakers in diamond, one is for ringer and speaker phone the other is for calling.
try switching back to Cloudy 1.3 and see if problem still exist?
if there are then your speaker is broken otherwise it's the rom problem.

Guys, just FYI the same issue appears when you install SRS WOW HD sound driver v1.5.1. Version 1.2.1 was working smoothly on diamond, but once i installed this new one, all sounds are mute for some reason and once i uninstalled it again, it was back to normal. Don't know if this will help, anyways with this issue you don't hear anything (ringer, alarm, caller)...

Actually I had the same problem, it was the internal speaker giving problems... u might hve to give it in for repairs if u can....

Hearing aid batterys? lol

I also have this problem... I believe that some of the ROMs that I've installed before set the speaker volume too high which resulted in the speaker blowing. I suggest you either send the phone in for repairs or search for software on XDA which turns the speakerphone on automatically when you make calls, that's how I get around this. You just put it by your ear like normal and you can still hear the phonecall =) Seems like HTC uses really crappy speakers in their phones...

[Q] Help Please! Microphone Dead/Very Quiet..?

Right, here’s the situation, I replaced the screen on my HTC Desire HD a few days ago and literally the first boot since there was a Wifi notification of a ROM update also, so I did it... (Orange UK Software number 3.13.61.5) anyway, since replacing the screen / updating the ROM, the Microphone has gone ridiculously quiet when making or receiving a phone call and if I open the Voice recorder, I can barely hear my recorded voice back, and the only way people can hear me when I call them is if they put it on loudspeaker and still put the phone to their ear...
Ok so initially I thought that this might be a hardware issue as I have been in the phone, however, given the fact that I can hear some playback via voice recorder, this means that the Microphone is working..?
So after a bit more investigation, I found that if I remove the bottom panel that covers the SD Card and Sim Card slots, then Voice recorder works perfectly (but my signal drops off completely so I can't test a phone call... *Are the 2 little gold contacts to do with the antenna?*) So I have come to the conclusion that it must be software? As obviously when these 2 little gold contacts make connection with the phone again, ye it enables me to make a phone call, but wrecks the microphone...
On a side note, I have checked the little Microphone hole on that bottom panel and shoved a pin through it and it’s as clean as a whistle so it can't be a blockage of any sort...
So something is happening when the bottom panel is on the phone, those 2 gold contacts tell the phone to do something? Provide an antenna for it but in doing so almost muting the microphone at the same time..?
Any ideas on how I can fix this or where shall I start? Could this still be a hardware issue? Shall I strip the phone down again and pay special attention to a specific part? :S
Please Help!?
Thanks in advance!
Adam.

which rom are you using? if that's a stock rom, it is highly recommended that you try one of the custom ones from development section (sense 3.5 roms)

Yes, its a stock ROM that was pushed OTA... It's a friends phone, I have a HD2 so I'm very familiar with flashing roms etc... but I'm going through the custom roms section and I can't seem to be able to find a good guide as a starting point..? I see a lot about Downgrading? and S-Off..? (Does that mean Signature Off?)
Thanks very much for the reply though!

Ok... I've flashed a custom ROM now, and a different radio '[ROM] Android Revolution HD 7.0.3 | High Quality & Performance | O/C | Legendary' is the rom I used...
Exactly the same... It's as if the microphone level is right down when the phone has signal/network as if I shout the voice recorder picks stuff up then...
Is there an App I can use to tweak the gain or something on the Mic levels?
I've had the phone in bits again and cleaned out everywhere, theres no dust build up or anything of the sort so I'm sure its not hardware related... but then if the ROM is completely different then it can't be software either can it..? :S
Cheers, Adam.

I'm no expert on electricity and all that but can it be possible that the power input onto the mic is being too low so that it is not functioning properly due to a newer screen sucking up a higher power? but then you mentioned that by removing those plates, it works fine...
I couldn't come across a fix as it seems that not many people had this problem so it seems that it is more of a hardware problem but i'll post asap i find something
EDIT: maybe this

Thanks for the reply! I can't understand what it could be... I have figured out though that if I hold the phone horizontally in front of my mouth and talk then it works... so I'm completely stumped as to what it could be...
Is there no way I can edit some sensitivity figure somewhere? :S
Cheers, Adam.

No mic issue continued

Hi All
I have had the same issue with no mic imput when calling someone on a HTC Desire 500 phone.
My problem started when I paired a plantronics bluetooth hands free device to my phone and started to use it.
While using the PK100 device all was perfect and no issues, but when I turned off the hands free device I now have the same issue no one can her me through the phone mic, no sound at all. I believe this issue is both software and hardware the software needs to switch the hardware (mic) on and off
It is as if the mic has been switched off by the (PK100) bluetooth hands free but the software on the phone is not re-enabling the phone mic so now I am in a situation where i can only use my phone via a diferent mic headphones or PK100 hands free.
I can also add that while in a call I have the option to switch from the hands free on the phone, or to use the phone or to use the PK100 from an in call option all works ok but the mic on the phone will not reactivate. this seems to be an issue with the software not activating the mic.
If anyone has any idea I would like to here...

[Q] Problem Curing Calls - Mic

This annoying issue is really creating a big problem for me, even pushing me to switch to other company from Sony, of which I am a loyal user from last 6-7 years.
I had ION with this same problem, now i upgraded to ZL but again the same problem persist, problem is as below.
During Calls, mic suddenly stops working and i keep yelling 'hello'...'hello' but the other person can hardly hear me, I cut the call, try to call again,...and its working fine...again after some calls it happens again, this problem is sooooo random that I am not able to find a pattern..
I work in a telecom industry and have to use the very basic feature of any phone, that is "calling" very much and I just love Xperia phones,
I don't understand why the same problem is happening again with a very different phone.
One more thing, when I use my MW600 handsfree, it works all fine, problem is only when I use Phone Mic.
today I changed my Sim card and will check it it helps...
Is there anybody facing the same issue...any resolution, pls pls..help me.

Sorry, Pls read the title as - Problem During Calls - Mic

Try disabling the noise supression option in settings> call settings menu

Ya same here, many people have reported this.. got a phone worth 36000 RS cant even make proper calls. Today i am taking this to service. hope it will be repaired/replaced.

I've had this issue happen to me as well while I was using my Xperia T. It lasted a good 30 min, I was able to hear people but they couldn't hear me even after several reboots and a factory reset. The problem went away on it's own, I have no idea what provoked it or how it got fixed. Now I use the Xperia ZL and still haven't encountered this problem. :fingers-crossed:

That exactly what we are discussing here. 2 weeks is too much twice almost a month

I too had this - and unmaskedfalesh's suggestion above of removing noise suppression *seems* to have worked. However, this is not a long term solution and I should be able to use this phone without removing this option for improved call quality.

[Q] my xperia zl external speaker stopped working

Jesus, this is the second failure on my xperia. First time was lucky still within year warranty. Suddenly stopped turning on. Local repair told no reason why.

Be Sure its speaker, for 2 days my speakers were not working but then i recognized that somehow it is taking the headset connected all time.
Call a number then turn on the loudspeaker to check..

Did you check if it works with the alarm sound at the Volumes section in Settings -> Sounds?
If it did work, it's a problem with audio mods as it somehow interferes with the speaker's behavior...
If you didn't install any audio mods, then it's likely to be a hardware problem ( " -_-)

ZL C6503 microphone problem

I just received my new ZL C6503, and am on stock 5.1.1. It seems like a great phone, but just noticed that people can barely hear me during a call. I can hear them fine though.
I tried playing with the mic/call settings, like noise suppression off/on, etc, but to no effect. Anyone had same issue? How could this be fixed?

Go to service menu by typing *#*#7378423#*#*
Then go to service tests and go to primary microphone. test it there. That will help you point out if the problem is with mic or not.

Thanks for the advice. I tried it. It seems the mic does work, although its extremely quiet. What can it be? I have unlocked bootloader in case that matters for anything. Or should I try a different rom? I have the latest "nordic combined" flashed at the moment but I got the phone from HK as refurbished.

It could be a matter of the room, it happend to me with a S5, I know its not the model, but after doing a clean reinstall of the room the mic was working fine, so try to reinstall or change rom and see what it happends

Highly chances is hardware issue. I have ZL which also have problem with primary mic. During calls I use loudspeaker,fortunately it works, mayb using the secondary mic behind.
