I have the same problem with the calls!! my mic works fine in recording apps, but it doesn't work with the phone. However it works making calls via Skype, I'm so frustated with this. I think it started happening since we updated to 4.3

Please verify the kernel you're using.. I'm was with that problems and the problem is a kernel from an previous ROM version

i have same problem too....in test(service test, xperia diagnostic, recorder) both microphone is ok no problem....but during call....other people can't hear my voice(too low)...and the weird problem...during call i can hear my own voice in ear speaker....i 'm already disable microphone noise suspression and reflash stock rom with clean install too...unlucky the problem was appeared after my warranty ended ...please help me...sorry for bad english

For proximity calibration you need to do a factory reset. every sony phones will give same error without factory reset. you can test it by keeping auto brightness on. if it changes according to the background lighting well you can say its working. however mic problem two reason. either water or dust might have entered in the part of mic or there will be a coating on the top of mic which might have been moved a bit which makes it difficult to make calls only.
take it to service or use to manuals the open it yourself to check it out.

AudioBooster equalizer resets

I love the AudioBooster..! it boosts or mutes the right frequencies...
The only thing is that everytime when an interuption occures (phone call, switching player etc. etc.) the AudioBooster resets the sound back to flat level.
The sliders are still on the same place and when i just tip a slider it works again.
Anyone same prob? is there a solution for it?
couldn't find anything bout this prob in the forum.. Don't know if its Rom related... I use INDIGO full

I noticed this as well...
It also happens when you use the buttons on the W100 - Wired Remote. Very annoying because to have the EQ enabled you cannot make use of the remote, which deafeats the purpose of the remote entirely.
I would be enternally grateful to anyone with enough talent to fix this.
Allright, ive got another audiobooster, (replaced it by INDIGO's internal one)this one (this one is enabled... ):

but now i cant seem to enable it...... Anyone any ideas?
This one won't work. It is made for HTC LOVE. We have already tried to make it work on trinity but it can't. I think it is an hardware problem. In fact it is as if you wanted to make a 6 channels sound card driver or software work with a 2 channels sound card. It can't work cause the hardware isn't the same.
Ah tha explains alot.. lol thnx !

[Q] Anyway to recalibrate the proximity sensor?

I researched about causes of phone unable to turn on after a call and saw a DHD thread about it. I tried reflashing the ftf file but after a call, the screen was unable to turn back on, therefore i think it is the proximity sensor's problem. Is there an app like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951858 to calibrate proximity sensor? o_o
Any help? After every call i have to pull out my battery and on my phone ..
I'm going through the same problem with my xperia play but I realized that if you place the unit directly in the sunlight it works, I tried a lot about some application to adjust it but it only works in some unit (not xperia) he asks for one kernel file that we do not possess even in custom kernel like DOOMkernel.
I saw this information on the sony page:
(i cannot post links, just look in google for "Sensor HAL for Xperia™ phones available as open source")
I located the file Sharp_gp2.c that has the attributes that I want to change, I imagine that if I change some values ​​like "power" or "resolution" I have some positive results but I do not know where to put this file in xperia play, I think that i can make a zip file and do a fastboot but not sure what the correct path.
If someone Knows, please tell us.
(Obs: I bought the proximity sensor part on ebay and i'll change it by my self, it costs 9 dollars and will arrive in 30 days, if this solve the problem i'll post the result here)
Hey dude, i solved my problem with proximity sensor, the piece that i order still not arrived but i disassembled my xperia play and i removed the piece (proximity sensor) an put it again and is ok now.
It looks like this:

You can see how to disassembly your phone on Youtube, i think the problem was a kind of Conductivity failure on the big conector as in the image.

Where did you find the part? Mine is doing the same thing but, I prefer to keep all parts intact so I believe I should order one. Also does the part come with the tools?

call recording app

Has anyone found a call recording app that actually works on our phones? I have tried 6 or 8, most of them "are not compatible with our devices". One I found (Total Recall) may work, but not having an engineering degree, I could not at all figure out whether it does.

Call recorder

I second the one above ( I think it's the same as this ):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder
I've tried easily 10 others, including Total Call Recorder. Skvalex's was the only one that worked flawlessly, and the customization is great. If it complains to you about your kernel missing the patch, test it anyways, because I had that error yet it still worked.

Thanks to both of you, it works like a charm! Since you both have used it, do either of you know if there is a way to turn it on in mid-call? I am an investigator and I usually chat with the person for a few minutes to prep them for my questions. Being able to do that would make it 100% perfect.
There is an option for that in the app, and it shows up for me by default. There should be a green record button ( switches to a red pause button if the app is recording ) showing up on your screen whenever your calls connect. If it isn't, try toying around with the settings ( sorry, I'm not sure which option it is, but I know it's in there ). You can also set it to exclude recording all calls by default if you want to manually start call recording when you're ready instead.

Need solution to microphone cutting out during calls on 4.4

I installed CM 11 VILLUMINATI a wile ago and everything was great, until i made a call. i would speak to the other end for a few minutes and suddenly they would stop hearing me as if i touched the mute button. i made sure that was not the case...it wasn't. i made sure the volume was all the was up thinking maybe that had something to do with it but it was max. finally i shouted into the mic and that worked and i was able to finish my call. i thought it was a fluke but then i received a call and the same thing happened to me, i had to yell just so the mic wouldn't turn off. i went into settings for the phone app and turned off background noise reduction and voice privacy (whatever that is) but the problem continued. i found that switching to speakerphone will keep the mic on and heard that switching to and from speakerphone also works but that is kinda annoying. i flashed MoKee thinking that it was a problem with CM 11 , that is the ROM i'm running now. but i still have the problem. on the Mokee forums i read that if i flashed the Extreme Kernel it might help so i did, it didn't. reading further into the thread it seems the Kernel is more trouble then its worth. i thought maybe its a hardware issue so i downloaded a voice recorder app and had a mock phone call for about three minutes, not once did the microphone cut out. iv tried re flashing dirty and clean to no avail. i just don't know whats going on iv hunted in the forums and have found no answer. most seem to not have the problem on the same version as i or others. i would post in the ROM thread but this will make my fourth post and it seems there is a minimum number of post one must make to be able to do that so im posting this here. in hopes of a work around...a fix..or at least a link to a thread were some helpful info would be.

Strange Bug: Rhythmic Disturbance when on call with Screen ON + Using Headset

This is one problem which seems to be driving me crazy. There is a rhythmic disturbance while calling which the other person on the call seems to hear. I'm using 3.2.1 on OP3. It can be reproduced by:
On call + connected on headset
The sound comes when the screen is on
The sound turns off when the screen is off
The issue does not arise if headset is not connected
Rebooting did not fix the issue.
I was able to reproduce this by calling my secondary handset.
I was able to reproduce this on multiple headsets.
Not sure if sharing the sound can help debug.

I thought this was my headphones issue . im also facing similar issue. call quality is ok if i remove the headphones.
Phew!
It's sadistic but I am actually glad I am not the only one with this problem. Hope it's a software issue though and that it can be patched soon. Getting the phone replaced will be really painful. Didn't know though that the noise goes away if screen is off.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I spoke to the "experts" at the oneplus call centre. Made me clear the cache although not before suggesting that I use only the Oneplus earphones or jbl ones. I use senheiser so... Sad to say clearing the cache did not help. (Not like I was expecting it to!).
Same problem here.
Used many earphones but same issue. The listener on other side of call complains abouts strange noise made during the call while using earphones. Should i send OP3 for repair?
