4.4.2 MIC not working.. - Sony Xperia ZL

I just update and wipe to 4.4.2 and the mic is not working on my phone....

I am having the same issue. The mic was completely functional before the update, and now it barely works and only when there are really loud noises on speaker phone. I went to get some help for this, and I was told that "this isn't something that would be caused by the update" and that I should do a factory reset. I have yet to do this, I am having issues doing a backup.

I faced intermittent mic issue since 4.3.

I've been on 4.4.2 since last week but today is the first time I try the MIC. It doesn't work at all, it was working fine before the update... And doing a factory reset doesn't change anything.

I have the same issue since updating to 4.4.3.
Unless I talk really loud, the person on the other side on the phone has trouble hearing me...

I had the same issue, I had to send my phone back to where I bought it and they repaired it for free.
They had to change some parts to make it work so it looks like it was hardware related.
I got my phone back after around 4 days, now my Microphone works perfectly fine again.

Mic Doesn't Work When Speaker On

Just got my Verizon G3 yesterday. I have it rooted and have Xposed and G3 Tweaksbox. I don't think I froze anything that would have to do with the mic/speakerphone.
When my speaker is on, my mic doesn't work.
Mic works fine otherwise, so it can't be a hardware issue.
Any ideas?
I disabled all xposed modules and unfroze all apps and same thing.
Can someone confirm they don't have this issue on a Verizon phone?
I really don't want to factory reset already.
Could someone just test this out and let me know if you don't have the issue?
Just make a call, turn on the speaker and see if the party on the other end can hear you talking.
Be best if it's someone with a Verizon phone.
If it works for someone else on Verizon, I guess I'll go with the factory reset. The phone has only been out a few days, I guess it's possible it's a bug and I'm just the first person who noticed it, but I doubt it.
I did a factory reset and it's still not working.
I did take off my case and now there's some audio, but it's all a low static. I call a vm I have and start talking with speaker off and it's fine, then I turn speaker on and I get all static and hissing and can't hear myself at all.
I don't see how it could be hardware, but I guess it's possible. Sure seems like a system bug, but someone in the Verizon forum reported it's working, so I guess not.
Flashed back to factory image and same problem.
I guess it's my hardware.
Replaced phone today and all is good. I guess defective hardware.
It must have a different mic for when using speakerphone vs when not.

mic suddenly stopped working

I have had my phone rooted for a long time and been using Omni custom rom for a long time. Suddenly, today my mic stopped working and people on the other end cannot hear me, just static.
What could the cause be? software? I hope it's not hardware.

Microphone not working properly after lollipop ?

My in call mic, as well a google now hot word, is not working after installing the latest firmware for lollipop.
It is recording at an extremely low volume. People say I sound muffled and far away.
To get "OK google" to respond I have to put the mic right next to my mouth.
Every thing is fine when using speakerphone .
Are there two mics in the phone? Why would it not work in normal call mode and be fine on speaker?
Also after a google search. I found people in the nexus 5 community with the same problem.
Tried flashing older lollipop firmware to no avail. I haven't tried going back to sense yet, as I want to keep lollipop.
Any help or ideas are appreciated.
Strange. Try reflashing it. Make sure to wipe.
Anyone? If there is two mics is there a way to switch when they work. I'm mean to say have the speaker phone mic work as a regular in call mic
This is making me crazy. I can't send the phone to HTC, they want $400 because I used HTC DEV to unlock my phone.
Sometimes it works fine, like 5% of the time. Speaker phone mic works perfectly. I have to put the phone right near my mouth to get "ok Google" commands to work.
Does anyone know how I can get the other mic to act as the primary one?
Searching the interwebs. There are rumors of the noise cancellation causing the issue. Idk?
Can't buy a new device. I'm stuck with this one. It is beyond frustrating.
I've flashed, RUU'D everything under the sun to try and fix this. Nothing.
Anyone?

[Q] Call and reception issue

Hello!
I have an unusual problem with my Note 2
Few days ago I tried to make a call but I couldn't - I heard the Note's sound that the call started but I heard no ringing. When a person picks up, I don't hear them and they don't hear me. When I hang up and redial, phone loses reception completely.
I thought that it is maybe an issue with mic and speaker, however Viber calls work fine. It is not an issue with SIM, it works fine in other phones.
I am running completely unrooted, never touched stock ROM.
I tried a factory reset and it didn't help.
Could anyone help me what this is and how can I fix it? Thanks!

[Help] Galaxy A3 Speakers Bug

Hello my friend has a Samsung A3 2017 and he said that the speakers are not working.
He can receive calls but do not hear them incoming because Speakers have some bug. No water or phone dropped on ground / any physical problem.
I told him to try the dial code *#7353# to test the functionality.
He replied that the
1. Melody works fine, the music is played
3. Speakers doesnt work at all.
This is probably some software bug, he already resetted the device without success. Any similar problems?
Thanks in advance

I actually had the same problem in my a7 2017, just randomly the speaker stopped working. I tried factory resetting it with no success, then turned it off for a while and rebooted in secure mode. Then the speaker worked again. It happened again a couple days ago and I tried the whole secure mode again. It didn't work. Then I turned my phone off and waited a couple of minutes. Turns out that to fix the problem, you only have to turn the phone off for about 5-10 minutes and reboot. This fixes the problem, but I still don't know what causes it
Do a hard reset and restore your phone to its initial configuration.
Hard reset stepsMod Edit
In this way, any app interfering with your sound and speaker settings should be deleted.
Just had the same issue on the most recent stock 8 ROM. Turning it off for ~10min cleared the issue. Is the root cause already known by now?

Maybe headphone jack is damaged from water. Try a phone call with and without speakerphone.

Hi, sorry I missed it somehow back then and just noticed it... better late than never. The phone is actually being used w/o headphones (perhaps only by previous owner if at all). Fortunately the issue has never come back since then. When it was still there a phone call would only have one way audio while on speakerphone (Tx only) and switching to the earpiece would fix Rx.
So, I just got a SM-A520F with a similar issue - speakers simply emit loud a white noise instead of Ringtones, Notifications, Youtube, Music, etc. I tried the dial code *#7353# and was surprised to see that melody works fine.
Had no issues at first, flashed the official Lineage 17.1 - still everything a okay. I decided to try Magisk, and that's when the problem started. I went back to stock android, but the problem is still there.
Any ideas what could have gone wrong?
--Edit--
I just restarted the phone with earphone plugged in. This seems to work for now. I will see for how long this will work & report back later.
--Edit 2--
No further problems. I reinstalled Magisk, everything still seems to work. Booting the phone with earphones plugged indeed fixed the issue, hope this will may help someone in the future.
