Its very difficult to diagnose this problem, so rather would suggest you to take it to Service Center and get it checked could be Mic problem(Hardware issue) or you could backup your data do a factory reset and try once.

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to ask you whether it was a hardware problem or not and whether you fixed it or not (and how). My brother is suffering from the exact issue. The other end hears him well only when he's on speaker or using any headphones with a mic. Volume in voice recordings in WhatsApp is also very low.

same here
Hi,
I am suffering from the same issue as described here.
I belief the Note 2 has 2 microphones. During taking a call the one at the Home button is active which seems broken.
The other one on the top is active in loudspeaker mode, which still works.
In regular phone mode, the caller hears me a little if background noise supression is deactivated.
I tried several ROMs since I beliefed I must be a software issue. Now I think it just is a broken mic.
Since I changed my mid-frame I belief my warranty is gone.
Hope you are in better luck.

Some people have speaker problem, i have microphone issue, Sony is just making pathetic phones with cheap hardwares. secondary mic works flawslessly, like it even catches the sound from a meter distance, but primary mic i should yell at it, which makes phone call very difficult.

I have an xperia zr and I absolutely love it except for one thing : very low in call volume. I'm not sure if it's fixable. Unticking the speaker voice enhancement (I think this is the name) under call settings seemed to help a little but not by much.

you guys wont believe what i am about to say.
I bought my ZL just one week ago,(though i have a Neo V) . I was really sad about this whole "low call volume" thing.
then i saw the latest firmware update (am in India) today and updated few hours ago to 10.3.1.A.2.67, with the hope of having this call volume bug corrected.
i was not interested in the fancy lock-screen widget, transparent notification bar bla bla bla as i was happy with 4.1 JB. But i updated it only for the sake of fixing the call volume bug.
BUT to my disappointment i found the phone working fine just as promised...but call volume is still low!!!!!! even after a restart!!
frustrated i did something i read somewhere but cannot recall - i used a clean dry toothbrush and brushed the earphone grill!! yes you read it right...and guess what?? IT WORKED!! the volume is way higher than before ..though i request Sony to bring a update to fix this volume bug..but for time being it works for me....
PS - keep all those enhancement settings bla bla UNTICKED as said before.
and keep the earphone grill JUST below your ear-hole.

lol a toothbrush or vacuum can definitely solve this issue
if the incall volume still the same, that might be hardware problem though

I was facing this problem for a while. It turned out the case I had installed was covering the earpiece because the earpiece is at the very top. I cut out a small piece of the case and now its very loud.

SOLVED - LOUD Volume in Xperia Z/ZL
Just follow the steps.
As im unable to post outside link. Simply google search for the below string and you will get the solution in first link.

The only way to adjust the incall settings increase volume is by pressing the volume up button whilst active and phoning someone, this is the only way to adjust the internal volume , sony shop eventually fixed this after 3 visits

[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
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:

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.

About MP3, I had the same issue, then I tested with the headphones and sound played normally through it, then took the headphones off and sound played normally on speakers too.

I personally don't like because they removed xLOUD . Now volume is too low.

Viper4android won't let you make calls, a reboot happens if you try to call someone

only bug - no xloud, speaker is too low..

Not a big deal as it was just a gimmick, but the notification LED doesn't light up when browsing through the pictures in the album app.

It's alot better than kit kat except for the icons and loud speaker

Also found that, but when I turn on "ClearAudio+" (Settings > Sound & notification > Audio settings) the speaker gets louder.
I hope I've helped.

I have some, Microphone is too low, other party cant hear a thing. even I disabled noise canceling mic but still problem exists.
2 - when someone calls, the notification light goes crazy and turns on and off very fast. and sometimes ringtone doesn even play.
3- earpiece volume is too low too

Thus far all I am aware of was the WiFi bug. I had to re-flash lollipop three times to get my WiFi to work ( updated through PC companion)

The only bug I found is that when you turn on Ultra STAMINA Mode and you turn it back off, all the apps you've previously disabled get enabled, so you have to disable them again. Otherwise, I'm having killer perfomance and battery life (4hs of SOT, with KK I had less than 3 and with every Lollipop AOSP-based ROM I got a bit more than 3) so I'll just ignore the Ultra STAMINA Mode and it's all good.
I found that volume levels are loud enough for me, perhaps it's because I have not been using stock for a while.

Every time I make a phone call, the in-call volume is set to 50%.
I increase it and the moment the screen turns off as I put the phone next to my ear, it'll stay at 100 for a while and again fall back to 50!
In case of whatsapp calls, I can change it to 100 but it will fall to 50 every time, won't stay there even for a second.
Started facing this problem when I updated to Lollipop, no such issues on KitKat.
I'm using the US FTF on an Indian phone.
Please help as I like the Lollipop update, it has increased the battery life a lot.

No skip/fast-forward in videos
If I try to skip to 2:30 for example in a video (with Chrome), the video just gets stuck and doesn't play anymore. But if I let it play from start without skipping, everything is just fine.
I googled this and it can be possible that you have to disable NuPlayer in the developers options, but that doesn't seem to work for me?
I hope someone can help or knows a workaround to make skipping work!

Samsung S20 5G G981B/DS Whatsapp Microphone Issue

I bought my phone a few days ago, I had several Whatsapp videocalls with loudspeaker and all calls they hear me loud and clear. Then a few minutes later they don't hear me at all, I try to change my grip on the device but without success. Anybody getting this microphone issue when calling?

Sometimes it's not the mic but rather the connection not being good. When the connection is not good your voice tend to break off.. Sort of like bits and pieces of your words missing so the other end can't really catch what you are saying.

Thank you for your suggestion but its not the connection from either side since the call was on highspeed fiberoptic wifi (250mbps/150mbps). And the recipient of the whatsapp call is hearing like a whisper rather then bits and pieces.

So just me got this issue?

try disabling battery optimization for whatsapp. maybe is getting aggressive.
whatsapp app info -> battery -> optimize battery usage -> change filter to show all and disable optimization for whatsapp.
