I bought my Xperia Arc 7 days back. Everything is just fine and I liked this cellphone very much, But suddenly yesterday when am using Google voice.. 1st and second time everything is great, Google voice recognized my every word but 4th time it says no voice input. I ended the program and go back to sleep. In the next morning one of my friend called me and he did not hear my voice. and from now on nobody is not hearing my voice. After that what I did....
1. On/off noise cancellation.(nothing happened)
2. Reset the phone to factory default.(nothing happened)
3. Restore rom with flash tool.(nothing happened)
4. installed voice meter and when I open it, its started from 70 bd not 0.
5. Checked with voice recorder. Without speaking anything its sound meter was full and when I played the recorded sound some weird sound coming.
But nothing happens to my microphone. Its just dose not working. If I close my mouth near to it and speak out loud then only my low voice is heard on the other part. Please help me as I already unlocked my boot-loader so I am now out of warranty.
I had this happen a few times, so I spent some time trying to figure out how to repeatedly reproduce it. It wasn't too hard.
1) Turn on a youtube video (I think that anything that used the phone's loud speaker would work).
2) Turn your media volume up to max.
3) Hold down the search button to bring up Voice Search.
I suddenly hear static and garbled audio.
4) Cancel (because I only accidentally pressed that button in the first place)
and the static and garbled audio stays around.
After that, I can go to most any audio app (visual voicemail, music beta, pandora, etc) or just get a notification sound from my phone and it will be complete static and garbage.
The first time I fixed it by playing a voicemail via visual voicemail through the normal speaker and then changing it to the loud speaker. That doesn't work every time though. I'm guessing that a reboot would also fix this.
I tried to reproduce this on my other TMO SGS2 both with the Voice Search shipped with the phone and the update from the market. On the one phone it happens with both versions and on the other, it never happens. I'm not sure that this is a hardware issue but I don't have a good explanation either way.
I've tried this a few more times today with a number of different apps and Voice Search and it hasn't reproduced itself. Most apps, like Google Music and Pandora, stop audio output when Voice Search is activated. Only YouTube seems to just ignore the Voice Search and keep going.
Edit: I exchanged my phone and this doesn't happen on the new one. Seems like a bad hardware issue.
We finally have our watches updated with the long waited 1.4 internal speaker enable firmware.
I was so excited to side-load the update to my watch and seeing the new features activated, but with more usage to the watch/phone (note5) I started getting frustrated.
Phone calls cannot be received (heard or voice out) from phone if bluetooth (Play phone audio on watch) is selected. (unlike my previous iWatch)
2nd flaw is the strange behaviour using Facebook messenger calling when audio is diverted to watch, but this time the calls fail.
I thought i would see if its only me facing this, is it the combination of my phone/ watch misfit? or its the update?
I have already factory reset my watch, to no avail.
Please share your experiences guys.
For me this works super cool, no problem. Speaker is very loud and clear. I use it 50% volume at home, whitch is enough.

When you accept phone call on a phone voice is automatically directed through phone's earpiece. When you accept it on the watch, voice goes through the watch.
You can also switch voice direction during call using button having BT icon within in-call screen. This is how it works for me on Nexus 5x and I find it quite consistent.

Unfortunately answering the call from the screen doesn't activate the ear speaker in my case, but I can activate the loud speaker!

Answering the call from the watch screen will answer on the watch. To me that is as expected. If you want to answer it on the phone use the phone to answer instead of watch.

I guess it's dependent on a device type, Android version it is running and most importantly a dialer app that it is running.
I can imagine devices having custom dialer supplied by a vendor that significantly differs from the standard Android one could yield different results.
Anybody else encountered FB messenger crash?
I'm facing very serious problems while trying to use HWatch to make/answer calls.
1. Without activating "Play phone audio on watch" everything works as before (no way to answer the call without pulling the phone). Somehow expected behaviour.
2. When I activate "Play phone audio on watch", I can answer the call on watch and apparently it thinks the call is going normally. Byt nothing can be heard on either side of the call. On phone the in-call UI is also displayed and no sounds played or recorded.
3. What's even worse, when I conventionally answer the call on my phone, it's somehow answered also on watch, with result being similar to 2 - no voice whatsover on either device - for about 10 seconds. After that the call is hung up on watch and starts to be hearable on phone. This is very annoying.
I admit, I have an old Samsung Galaxy SII running SlimKat 4.4.4 (which should include standard AOSP dialer). Maybe it has an old version of Blutooth or something screwed elsewhere. But for me the new 1.4 functions are now plain unusable.
Edit: Point 3 somehow fixed (or demonstrates randomly). But still: no audio stream between phone and watch.

Well I am somehow facing same issues with my GN 5 with the latest MM, in addition to crashing of FB messenger... Line and other voice calling apps are running fine.
Ok, so found a really annoying issue when the watch is set to play phone audio. Basically when you answer a call or make a call from your phone, the functionality of the screen turning off when you put your phone to your ear no longer works, which means you end up controlling your handset with your ear if you ear touches the screen.
Very annoying!
This only happens if the watch is basically setup as bluetooth audio for the phone (as in you can take calls on your watch).
This was already discussed here:

It seems to be a problem in the Google Dialer App. The problem is not present with Samsung phones.
For the moment you'll have to press the power button, to disable the screen. Hopefully a future update of the phone dialer app will fix this, you may support this here:

There is an update MHC19J mentioned for the Nexus 5X, which may improve the situation.
Haven't seen this specific issue answered yet - if its a duplicate somewhere a point to the right thread would be appreciated.
For whatever reason over the last couple months, the volume on my pixel 2xl will jump way up (or way down) when on bluetooth either after a call or after using google assistant. It doesn't seem to happen everytime, but just now I was listening to music on my bluetooth headphones at my desk and got a call. I took the call on the headphones by answering the phone and then as soon as I hung up, the volume on the phone shot up to 100% which was not enjoyable.
This also happens when connected to my truck (Ford SYNC) or my running earbuds, and it can also crank the media volume way down (happens frequently in the truck) after a call, at which point I have to manually adjust the volume again. The same activity also happens if I activate google assistant and issue a voice command, but in both cases it is not 100% consistent. It appears like the system is trying to dynamically change the volume for some perceived situation, but it sucks at it.
I also use A2DP app for volume control settings and app launching for all my connections, but I have used that since I got this phone 2 years ago and none of the settings have changed.
Anyone had similar behavior and found a fix? It is really annoying when my music goes so low that I can't even hear it in the truck after a call, and equally annoying when I have headphones on and it cranks the volume up and tries to blow out my eardrums.
