anyone on ion with ics having problems with the phone's mic? before the update it was really good and after the update, it works but sound on the other side is very low. i find myself having to raise my voice just for the other person to hear one word out of an entire sentence clearly.
i somewhat avoided the phone's mic issue by using my headset but i don't have my headset with me at all times, nor do i want to have it at all times. has anyone else fixed this problem without doing that pc companion repair? i absolutely hate setting up my phone cuz it'll be like the 4th time to do it.
before someone tells me to root, dont even reply. im perfectly fine how my phone is so i dont need to root.

I'm having an issue with my Xperia Play. During a phone call, I usually don't get sound unless I switch to speaker mode or I plug in earphones.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it only works after I switch back and forth the speakermode.
I wonder if it's a hardware or software issue. Anyone could help ?
edit: I think I had this issue after rooting and unlocking the bootloader but I can't be sure because I didn't spend a lot of time with the phone locked down.
edit2: I rooted by flashing Bin4ry's package. I read a bit about that and it seems it can have a negative effect on the baseband version not being the right one for my 2.3.3 firmware ?
Here are my version numbers:
Build: 4.0.A.2.368
Kernel: Doomlord #3
Baseband: 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-20302204-36
Bumping just in case. Someoe knowledgeable could see it.
I upgraded with flashtool to 2.3.4 and the issue is still there.
No sound during a phone call
Hello I have this issue too, I hope someone will recognize my post
While I dial a phone and press call (then earphone turns on) I hear a GSM signal sound (same as if you hear your phone signal in a PC speakers) instead of voice.
In service menu if I press Earphone test i hear this high frequency sounds too.
I HAVE already REPLACED BOTH CABLES WHICH CONNECT EARPHONE AND MOTHERBOARD (1.flex and 2. the one with front camera and earphone included).
So cable replacement DID NOT SOLVE it.
I thought it is SW stuff, but I FLASHED .62 ROM but it is STILL SAME.
New .80 BASEBAND DIDN'T HELPED to me.
Last time my GSM signal was crashing sometimes, If I tried to connect manually it told me that my sim card is not allowed to connect to my operator... something like that
my phone R800i and I don't remember when it started, I think in the morning after party last month
Any ideas what to do guyz? :crying: :crying:
Really want to solve this :cyclops:

Probably if you return to the Stock Version. Also make you have not by accidentally damaged the earpiece with water, even if you were sweating from you ear or something because it might not always be the cables that are wrong but some other HW problem.

Hello, I wrote it all in a previous post, my earpiece is new and .62 is stock ROM, In my opinion there is some HW problem in gsm signal modulation. I was in a smartphone-repair shop and they told me it will cost too much. I think this is the weakest point of XPLAY, because my friend has XPLAY too and while he dial a number and start calling, phone screen turns black and no hardware keys can wake up the screen..
Then I discovered only power button works here after checking ''Power button ends call'' in Accessibility settings. But it is still annoying.
But my problem is not solved, I have to phone with headphones connected or with rear speakers as audio output :/
hi please help
i have this problem No sound during a phone call please help
News?
Any news about this issue? There is load of threads about an ear speaker, I can still hear only GSM signal beep in it
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.
If I make or recieve a call with the stock sony call app, the other party can not hear me unless I switch to speaker. I tried with different people, it's always the same.
However, if I use google hangouts for calls the both the microphone and the spaker work just fine.
If I record a voice message in Whatsapp, the microphone works but is really low.
If I use Trackid for a song the microphone doesn't work again.
This has only started a few weeks ago and I can't find any solution on my own. Anyone has an idea what the problem could be?
I already tried safe boot and factory reset, it stays the same. I am really confused as it only happens in a few apps while working fine in others.
Thanks in advance!
Just blow some air into the microphone. I also have this problem

That didn't work :/
But thank you for your answer
I submitted my zl in service centre for 25 days and they do nothing , always keep saying that parts are coming. Finally I ask them to give it to me without replacing the microphone as i have to go somewhere, Finally I factory reset my phone use a pin,cotton and and some water in the microphone then blown some air And it WORKED. So most probably its the dirt. For your hangouts working it might be your phantasm.
Hi all,
I'm having a problem with my Xperia S that started manifesting itself a few days ago. Basically when I receive a call the sound doesn't come out of the earpiece but instead comes from the back of the phone, as if the loudspeaker was being used, but very quietly.
I don't believe this is a headphone issue as I've never used headphones on my Xperia S.
The earpiece works under normal phone conditions, e.g. Turning volume up on the home screen producer a bleep as normal.
Turning on loudspeaker during a conversation will basically make the sound already coming out the back of the phone go loud as is expected when activating the loudspeaker option.
Has anyone else ever experienced this or know of a fix?
I have already tried the 'plug headphones in and out repeatedly' fix which hasn't worked.
I don't think detecting the headphones being plugged in is the issue.
Any advice welcome!
Does anyone think this could be a software issue? Someone in the Sony Forums has recommended doing a repair on my phone, which just means flashing a firmware file to the phone. I can do that, but it doesn't seem like that would be the issue, would it?
Alright guys, I've got a problem I haven't quite dealt with before:
I've got no sound coming from my "external" phone speakers. The in-ear speaker works fine, and so does the mic. That means I can take phone calls just fine. Listening to Whatsapp voice messages is a challenge because Whatsapp uses the speakers which means the message plays with no sound, that is until I hold the phone to my face and the prox switch tells the app to play through the ear speaker. No YouTube videos or Snapchat sounds.
I looked around the forums and such but didn't find anything. I've checked all the system settings I know to check, but nothing I can find is "muting" the sound. My apps list is fairly standard. Stock rom and kernel, unlocked since day 1 but without even a recovery installed. Basically a factory phone.
What are you guys thinking? I'm happy to try basically anything. Even thinking of slapping a ROM into this beast to see what happens, although I doubt there's too much development going on for a 2yo phone...
Cheers!
Update:
I've got intermittent sound. I haven't opened the phone and have no reason to think water ingress could be the problem, but I can't think of a reason that the speakers would work intermittently. Sounds more like a hardware problem than a software problem to me. Anyone else?
It also happened to me except I didn't have any sound coming from both speaker and the earpiece. Not sure what happened though.

Well it only has one speaker. As for the others most likely hardware related.

Weirdly, I'm stuck in unreliable-sound limbo. I get sound most of the time, but speaker sound disappears occasionally with no predictability that I've found. Interestingly, If I mash or smack the bottom of the phone phone screen by the speakers, sometimes sound will come back on briefly or entirely. Weird, huh? Not sure what could be causing a connection problem. Maybe I'll open up the phone eventually and find out.
